K-ClinicKorea Dermatology First Visit: PÊCHE Gangnam Treatment Day
At PÊCHE Dermatology in Gangnam, Seoul, treatment is a ONE DAY process: arrival (bare-faced or remove makeup at the clinic) → Meta-Vu 3D skin analysis → consultation with a board-certified dermatologist → treatment, all on the same day. The preparation room has transparent glass walls, and Chinese-speaking coordinators are on site. Mild redness or slight swelling may follow; most treatments allow normal activity the next day, but avoid saunas, alcohol and intense exercise for a few days.
What happens on your first day at a Korean dermatology clinic?
At PÊCHE Dermatology in Gangnam, the treatment-day flow is arrival → Meta-Vu 3D skin analysis → doctor consultation → treatment, with consultation and treatment completed on the same day.
For a first skin treatment in Korea, the language and the process are often more nerve-racking than the treatment itself: Do you need to remove makeup first? Will you be pushed into extra treatments? What if you can't understand the doctor? This article walks through the day in chronological order.
The 4 steps of treatment day
PÊCHE Dermatology uses a ONE DAY format: consultation, skin analysis, examination and treatment are all completed on the same day, so you can go straight back to your itinerary afterwards.
- Arrival and makeup removal: The clinic is on the 3rd floor of the Miwang Building, across from Gangnam Station Exit 4. Come bare-faced, or remove your makeup at the clinic.
- Meta-Vu 3D skin analysis: Your skin condition is checked first and used as the basis for choosing treatments.
- Doctor consultation: The doctor explains the methods that suit your analysis results, without recommending unnecessary treatments.
- Treatment: The preparation room has transparent glass walls, so you can see the medication being prepared.
Analysis results may change the doctor's recommendation; the actual plan is decided after the examination.
What is Meta-Vu 3D skin analysis?
Before treatment, PÊCHE Dermatology checks your skin with a Meta-Vu 3D skin analysis, and the doctor then explains and selects a suitable method.
This means you don't have to lock in your treatment before you leave home. You can ask about the treatment you want through the live chat in advance, and if the doctor suggests something different after the analysis, you can discuss it and decide on the spot. The director, Ahn Tae-eon (안태언), is a board-certified dermatologist.
Is there Chinese or English support at PÊCHE Dermatology?
PÊCHE Dermatology has dedicated coordinators who speak English, Chinese and Japanese, so you can communicate on the day of your visit.
Before you travel, your booking, the treatment you want and the price quote can be handled through this website's Request booking button or live chat. K-Clinic's tip: write down your concerns (for example pores, dullness or sagging) in advance and show them to the coordinator on the day for faster communication.
Can you see how your treatment is prepared?
PÊCHE's treatment preparation room is open through transparent glass, so you can clearly see what is being used and how much.
This matters most for injectable treatments. PÊCHE offers the botulinum toxins Nulux, Coretox, Xeomin and Botox, and the collagen-stimulating and skin booster options Rejuran, Juvelook and SkinVive. Whichever you choose, you can see it being prepared.
What should you prepare before your visit?
Before you go, prepare the treatment you want or the concerns you have, your dates and time slots in Korea, and any medication you are taking, and send these to us through the live chat.
If you take blood thinners or similar medication, be sure to tell us first. Prices depend on the treatment and the amount used, and the same pricing applies to Korean and foreign patients. Get the clinic's official quote first (excluding tax; 10% VAT is added) through the Request booking button or live chat, then confirm your booking.
What to know after your treatment
After treatment, you may have brief redness or slight swelling, and with most treatments you can resume normal activity the next day. For the next few days, avoid saunas, alcohol and intense exercise.
Aftercare instructions are explained after your treatment. K-Clinic's tip: don't schedule a jjimjilbang (Korean sauna) visit or a soju dinner on the night of your treatment; move those plans to the day before.
