Honest reviews of two lifting hotspots in Seoul and Incheon: Aiden and Y-Lab

Aiden is really hot these days, but there aren't any reviews about it in this community, so I'll write one. 1. Aiden Clinic in Apgujeong, Seoul I arrived and could hear laser sounds, and someone was getting titanium. The wash area was right in front of that procedure room, so by the time I finished washing my face and came out, they were already at checkout. They examined me carefully and talked for a long time during consultation, but there was no sense of rushing the procedure short or anything like that. In July it was 33, but from August onward they said it would keep going at VAT-included 40. They really only focus on two lifting treatments, Titanium and TUNE, and they seem to put everything into those. Rather than asking what you want done, they keep it simple with Titanium vs. TUNE, and if you ask them to choose, the director picks for you. The price is also affordable, so reservations at Apgujeong Aiden are gone in one minute, and the one-director concept is part of the appeal. Aiden: during the procedure, they explain their treatment philosophy and why they are so confident in these two lifting methods. The vibe was something like: very passionate, lifting lover, definitely better for maintenance than booster-type treatments. What was interesting was that while performing the procedure, they also talked about cases where patients had side effects. They said that if there is a problem, they take responsibility and follow up all the way through recovery. Even so, they also said that posting about it online had been a bit awkward, so they communicated very openly about all kinds of things while doing the procedure. 2. Y-Lab Plastic Surgery in Bupyeong, Incheon Next, Incheon. I'm from Incheon, so this was a place I already used to visit often even before the clinic changed its name, since it used to be a specialist filler clinic. This is a real specialist clinic run by board-certified plastic surgeons and it operates strictly by reservation, even if appointments get canceled. Because TUNE is at a higher price point here, I tried Titanium first and then TUNE afterward. Here, instead of jumping straight into the procedure, the doctor designs the treatment and explains a lot about it. I said I was concerned about the nasolabial folds and double chin, so they put more energy into those areas, and the results are always good, with the kind of attention you'd expect from a lifting-specialist clinic. If you go there after being to a factory-style clinic, you won't want to go anywhere else. I've done filler, lifting, and skin boosters there, and even after the procedure they show you exactly how much was injected and various details. They show everything before and after, and the total consultation time feels longer than at Aiden. Y-Lab: during the procedure, they explain my facial design and the process and effects of the treatment, so even if you don't know much about procedures, it's easy to understand. + A skilled, gentle feeling + Fillers don't hurt + For the double chin, it gets a bit hot because heat builds up, so please tell them if it's too hot~ They can adjust the energy, and they'll check it that much more, so just tell them comfortably. There were two directors, and I can't remember the names clearly, but the male plastic surgeon wearing glasses seems like a T-type, and there is absolutely no overtreatment. The female director is amazing at making lips truly symmetrical. On the day I got Titanium, I said I also wanted to fill the nasolabial folds with filler, but they told me I didn't need that much. But looking at my friend, who was recommended 2 cc for the nasolabial folds, I guess they really do have a clear standard either way. In any case, I think a place with a clear treatment philosophy from the doctors is better, and it's probably right to skip places that feel too factory-like.
