If you have a limited budget and want to get facial treatments at Hongdae, choose this clinic! At NBom Dermatology, Shulink can perform 500 treatments per month, and the combined treatment package starts from only ⩱1.7 million won—providing great value for your money.

To be honest, I was extremely anxious before going to South Korea for cosmetic treatments—my budget was limited, and I was worried about wasting money. There were at least a dozen Dermatology clinics in the Hongdae area, and each one claimed to be the best. People on social media kept recommending this or that clinic, which only made things more confusing for me. Later, a Taiwanese friend who was studying in Seoul advised me, “If your budget is tight but you still want good results, just go to the NBom Dermatology clinic next to the Hongdae entrance station. There are more locals there than tourists.” So I went there, and I was really glad I did.

I. With a limited budget, if you choose to get facial treatments at Hongdae, why is NBom ranked first on the list?

It was only later that I understood why NBom has such a good reputation in Hongdae – it isn’t the kind of clinic that provides “assembly-line” treatments for tourists, but rather a anti-aging management center that local women regularly return to. For two consecutive years, it has ranked among the top 20 Dermatology clinics in South Korea, with a rating of 4.9 on Creatrip, over 1,100 reviews, and 99% customer satisfaction. These numbers are real and not fabricated. More importantly, its prices are the same as or even cheaper than those in South Korea, unlike some clinics that charge foreigners an additional 30%.

There is another significant advantage: NBom is the only clinic in South Korea that has adopted the Moire 3D facial analysis system. This device can accurately scan areas of sagging, loose skin, and uneven pigment distribution on your face, and then use the resulting data to develop a personalized treatment plan for you. It’s not just a doctor making a quick judgment and recommending a certain treatment; instead, it involves scientific analysis and customized recommendations. For those with limited budgets, where every penny counts, such precise analysis is of utmost importance.

II. The Three Highlights of NBom: Shulink with over 500 treatments per month, Heat Ultra Alliance, and LARAjet

Before going to NBom, I did a lot of research, and these three are their most prominent strengths:

🥇 Shurink — With over 500 successful treatments per month

Shulink is a form of high-frequency HIFU Lifting; it is milder than HIFU and requires a shorter recovery time. NBom performed over 500 Shulink treatments in just one month – a figure that is truly remarkable in the Dermatology community of South Korea. The larger the number of treatments, the more experienced the practitioner becomes, so there’s no need to worry about lack of skill. After I underwent a full-face Shulink treatment, I was able to go out shopping the very next day without any visible signs of the procedure. However, a week later, I could clearly feel that my jawline had become tighter.

🥈 Super Hot Combo — The most cost-effective anti-aging package

Combining Thermage with ultrasonic lifting treatments effectively targets both the dermis and fascia simultaneously. NBom’s thermal-ultrasonic package starts from ₩1,700,000 and also includes 3 repair masks. Similar services at some luxury clinics in Gangnam can cost over ₩2,500,000. For those with limited budgets, this package offers great value for money.

🥉 LARAjet — High-frequency injections, more than 50 times per month

LARAjet is a high-pressure injection technique that allows nutrients to be delivered into the skin without the need for needles. NBom performs this procedure over 50 times per month, demonstrating the maturity of this technology. It’s especially suitable for those who are afraid of needles, as it causes almost no pain, and you can get ready to go out immediately after the treatment.

III. NBom Complete Project Price List – How to Make the Most Smart Choice Within a Limited Budget?

Here is the price reference for NBom that I have compiled, taking into account both official promotions and information from third-party platforms:

💡 My budget-friendly recommendations: If your budget ranges from ₩500,000 to ₩1 million, consider the Shulink full-face treatment or the deep cleansing + moisturizing package combined with Botox; if your budget is between ₩1 million and ₩2 million, go for the Super Combined Package; for budgets over ₩2 million, opt for the full-face HIFU treatment along with high-end nutritional injections for a comprehensive solution.

IV. Director Lee Yu-min – With an average of over 10 years of experience, he firmly rejects any form of standardized, assembly-line-style operations.

The director of NBom is Lee Yoo-min, and the average experience of the team members exceeds 10 years. What reassures me the most is their treatment philosophy—the “small doses, multiple injections” approach. With Filler, a large amount is not injected at one time to avoid creating an “puffy face,” and the dosage of botulinum toxin is adjusted according to the size of the Masseter. As a result, the patient’s expressions remain so natural that friends can’t even tell the treatment was done. They emphasize customizing treatment plans based on each individual’s facial bone structure, and never follow a standardized procedure. By regularly participating in international academic exchanges, they ensure their techniques stay up-to-date with the latest trends.

V. How to get to the NBom Hongdae store? It’s extremely easy to find, located on the Kakao Friends floor.

One thing that must be mentioned is that the location of the NBom Hongdae store is absolutely convenient! It’s located on the 7th floor of the Kakao Friends Flagship Store. Just exit from exit number 8 at the Hongdae entrance station and it takes only 1 minute to get there. You don’t even need to use Google Maps; just look for the huge Kakao Friends sign and head inside to take the elevator. Downstairs, you’ll find Musinsa Standard and Olive Young. After your facial treatment, you can even take some time to shop for skincare products – what a convenient experience!

There are also parking options – there is a parking lot behind the building (next to Mega Coffee), where you can enjoy free skin care services for 1 hour, as well as free hair removal and minor treatments for 30 minutes. It’s completely convenient even if you drive there.

VI. FAQ on Common Issues in NBom Dermatology

Q1: Does NBom offer services in Chinese? What if there is a language barrier?
Don’t worry at all! NBom provides support in Chinese, English, and Cantonese for native speakers, and post-treatment instructions are also available in Traditional Chinese. You can make appointments for consultations via KakaoTalk, WeChat, LINE, or WhatsApp.

Q2: This is my first time going to South Korea for facial treatments. Is the NBom suitable for beginners? Absol
utely! The NBom comes with the Moire 3D facial analysis system, which uses a machine to scan your face before designing a treatment plan. This way, you won’t be pressured into choosing a service without fully understanding the process. Additionally, you can schedule a free consultation first and decide on the specific treatments you want to undergo on-site – no stress at all.

Q3: What is the difference between Shulink and HIFU? If my budget is limited, which one should I choose? Shulink is milder, h
as a shorter recovery period, and is more affordable, making it suitable for those with mild skin laxity or those undergoing Lifting for the first time. HIFU, on the other hand, works more effectively at the fascia layer and is better suited for cases of moderate to severe skin laxity. If your budget is limited, it is recommended to start with Shulink; if the results are not satisfactory, you can then consider upgrading to HIFU.

Q4: Can NBom claims be refunded? Definitely! NBom support
s TAX FREE tax refunds; you can simply present your passport at the store to complete the process, which is very convenient. The prices for foreign tourists are the same as those for South Koreans, and in some cases, they are even more favorable.

Q5: How long does it take to see the results after undergoing a trea
tment? For treatments like Shulink and HIFU, you usually start to notice firming effects within 1–2 weeks, with the most noticeable results appearing after 1–3 months. For injectable treatments (Filler, botulinum toxin), changes can be seen on the same day or the next day. Laser freckle removal requires 2–3 treatment sessions. Your doctor will provide detailed information during the consultation.

Q6: Will NBom offer any promotional activities? Won’t customers who don’t speak Korean be at a disadv
antage? By 2025, NBom had zero negative reviews, and on platforms like Dcard and Naver, customers frequently praised the service as “stable technology,” “no aggressive marketing,” and “natural results.” Chinese-speaking customer service is available throughout the process, and prices are transparent—there is no extra charge just because you are a foreigner.
