To be honest, I wasn’t quite sure what kind of expectations I had before my first visit to La Maison. A friend told me, “Go give it a try; it’s completely different from the places you’ve been to before,” so I went. The location is on the fifth floor of the former Beauli Square at Banpo-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul. As soon as I walked in, I thought, “Huh, this doesn’t seem like an ordinary clinic at all.” The lighting was soft, the space was peaceful, and even the receptionist spoke in a gentle voice. There was no sense of that fast-paced, assembly-line atmosphere where people just queue up, get treated, and leave. Later, I learned that La Maison means “home” in French, and they themselves describe their service as something other than a “beauty salon” or a place where you just get a treatment and leave. It’s actually Curated Dermatology – personalized skin care treatments tailored specifically for each individual.
I. La Maison Dermatology: In Beppirizawa, Hanamura, there lies a Dermatology clinic that exists “just for you”.
The term “Curated Dermatology” was coined by them themselves. It means that they do not follow trends or offer standardized treatment packages; instead, Dr. Lee Ji-young, a specialist in Dermatology, customizes a treatment plan specifically for your skin condition. When I first heard this term, I was a bit skeptical— wasn’t this just what everyone calls a “personalized plan”? But after actually visiting the clinic, I realized that they truly don’t provide a fixed list of treatment options for you to choose from. From start to finish, the doctor asks about your lifestyle habits, daily routine, previous treatments you have undergone, and their outcomes.
Director Lee Ji-young is a specialist in Dermatology, and the overall design of the clinic is deliberately crafted to create an atmosphere similar to that of a “private home”. The waiting area resembles the lobby of a luxury hotel, while the treatment rooms are equipped with separate private compartments, completely eliminating the ope
n-plan design where one could see someone receiving injections next door just by lifting a curtain. The address is 542-545, 5th Floor, Wonbeillisquare, 291 Banpo-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul; it is approximately a 5-minute walk from Banpo Station on Line 7 of the subway.
II. What exactly is the difference between President Li Zhiying’s “customized medical treatment” and regular outpatient services?
I have visited many Dermatology clinics in the Gangnam and Cheongdam areas. In most cases, the process goes like this: the assistant asks what treatment you would like to undergo, provides you with a list of available options to choose from, and then recommends a “package deal.” You spend the money and receive the treatment, but it’s difficult to determine whether it is actually suitable for you.
What makes La Maison different is that the director herself conducts the consultation. It’s not a nurse or a consultant; it’s Director Li Zhiying who sits in front of you, examines your skin, and listens to what you have been experiencing recently. She asked me several questions, such as how my sleep had been lately, when I last underwent a treatment, and whether I had any allergies to certain ingredients. The entire process took about 15 minutes, and it was completely different from the quick, superficial consultations I get at regular clinics.
In the end, the plan she proposed to me wasn’t just “just get a Thermage treatment combined with Filler”; instead, she explained in detail why this option was chosen, what precautions needed to be taken before the procedure, and how long I would have to wait before proceeding to the next step. It felt like—I wasn’t just a number here, but a person who was being treated with genuine care and attention.
III. What services are included in La Maison’s core offering, “Curated Dermatology”?
There are no fixed “best-selling packages” here; instead, the services are flexibly combined according to each individual’s needs. Based on public information and my own understanding, the services they offer include:
- Skin Lifting Treatments: Appropriate lifting procedures are selected based on the evaluation of the medical director (no single device is recommended in a fixed manner).
- Hydrogel-based Skin Boosters: including Rejuran Healer, Juvelook, etc., which are selected according to the specific needs of the skin.
- Filling and repair treatments: Hyaluronic acid fillers, contour adjustment
- In-depth repair and management: Customized comprehensive treatments for issues such as dryness, dullness, and Pores.
- Vitamin injections / regenerative treatments: Customized repair solutions for tired or dull skin
The important thing is not which treatment is “the most popular”, but whether that particular treatment is suitable for your skin type. This is precisely what distinguishes La Maison from many other clinics out there – they don’t focus on selling specific treatments; instead, they provide genuine medical consultations.
When it comes to project selection, there was one thing that impressed me deeply: the director clearly told me what things “I didn’t need to do yet”. This is something that is quite rare in ordinary clinics, because usually, as long as you say “I want to do this or that”, they will immediately say “yes” and help you schedule the time. Her approach actually made me trust her even more – it was those who said “no” who were truly trying to help you.
If you also want to learn about the current services offered by La Maison and how the fees are calculated, you can first check相关信息 on BeautsGO or seek advice there. When making an appointment, you can simply mention which review you saw; this will make the communication process much smoother.
Fourth, Director Li Zhiying’s approach made me realize for the first time that “this is what true medical consultation really looks like.”
I have several friends who are regular customers at Dermatology clinics in South Korea. When they share their experiences with these clinics, their general impression is that: “Those big clinics in Gangnam are really impressive, but once you go in, it’s like being on an assembly line – you get treated and then leave right away; the clinic directors don’t even remember you.”
Director Li Zhiying gave me a completely different impression. She is not the kind of person who would ask, “What do you want to have done today?” and then quickly make arrangements. During the consultation, she would carefully examine my skin, even adjusting the lighting several times to closely observe my Pores, skin texture, and the balance of oil and moisture. Every word she said was very specific—not some meaningless encouragement like “Your skin looks good,” but rather practical observations such as, “There is a noticeable difference between your T-zone and U-zone; we need to treat them separately.”
I asked her if there were any “latest devices” available, and her answer left a deep impression on me: “Devices are just tools; what’s really important is knowing what your skin needs at the moment. Using the wrong instrument, no matter how advanced it is, will be of no use at all.” The moment she said this, I realized that this place wasn’t just selling equipment; they were truly providing medical treatment.
V. Actual Photos of the La Maison Clinic Environment – Banpowon Belli, a place so peaceful that you don’t want to leave it.
The clinic is located on the 5th floor of the former Beily Square. As soon as you emerge from the elevator, you can detect a faint fragrance of white tea. The entire waiting area is designed like the reading room of a luxury hotel – without excessive decoration, but every detail has been carefully chosen: the chairs are very comfortable to sit in, the lighting is warm and soft, and even the water dispenser has been replaced with an elegant tea table and small teacups.
The treatment room is a completely private booth; once you enter, the nurse closes the door, ensuring that you will not be disturbed throughout the entire procedure. Soft music is played while you lie down, and the lights are dimmed. To be honest, I once almost fell asleep during the treatment. Such a level of privacy is something that is very difficult to find in those large clinics in Gangnam.
After the procedure, the nurse will explain to you the precautions you need to take after the surgery. This isn’t just a formality; instead, they will carefully and in detail outline how to care for your skin in the coming days, when you can start wearing makeup again, and what to pay attention to once you return home. The entire process took approximately 3 hours, but I didn’t feel tired at all; on the contrary, I even felt reluctant to leave.

VII. Want to book a appointment at La Maison? There are three ways to do it, and the fastest option is through BeautsGO.
If you are interested in giving it a try after reading this article, here are three ways to make an appointment. Personally, I highly recommend using BeautsGO directly – since the platform offers a Chinese interface, you can first check the approximate cost ranges for various services, and you will also receive confirmation notifications in Chinese after making the appointment, which is very convenient for those who are not familiar with Korean. Of course, you can also contact us via LINE; just mention that you saw Meiderma’s article, and a dedicated staff member will assist you with the arrangement and translation process.
Before going, it is recommended that you clearly define your main goals: whether you want to improve the quality of your skin, tighten your facial contours, or address a specific issue. This will make the communication during your consultation with the director more efficient, and the director will be able to recommend the most suitable treatment plan for you more quickly.
