Hello, this is VS Line Clinic Gangnam.

Recently, we've received numerous inquiries from overseas tourists visiting Korea asking, "I want to try a skin treatment even with my short schedule." 😎

Korean dermatology and aesthetic treatments have already established themselves as a flagship K-beauty industry, with the medical tourism market exceeding 1 trillion won and continuing to grow. 📈

Our clinic also welcomes many international travelers enjoying "short-term experience treatments." These visitors stay in Korea for as little as one day or up to 3-4 days, receiving treatments ranging from simple skin lifting to skin boosters and collagen procedures. Interestingly, preferred treatments vary somewhat by nationality!

K-Beauty Treatments: Which Countries Show the Most Interest?

VS Line Clinic has extensive data on diverse international clients. 🌏

In 2025, based on our Apgujeong and Gangnam locations, clients from China, the US, Singapore, and Japan accounted for over 70% of our international visitors.

📌 'Lifting' Treatments: Universally Popular

Clients come from countries all over the world, and surprisingly, there's an interesting common thread. Everyone prefers 'lifting treatments,' regardless of where they're from.

However, specific preferences differ significantly when you look more closely.

Chinese, American, and Singaporean clients prefer ultrasound- and radiofrequency-based lifting treatments such as Ulthera and Thermage, which offer 'long-term elasticity improvement.' These typically recommend re-treatment every 1 year.

Japanese clients, on the other hand, favor non-invasive lifting devices such as Tune Face, Tune Liner, and InMode, which are more affordable and less painful.

📌 Skin Boosters: 'Rejuran' Dominates

The second-most-requested treatment after lifting is 'skin boosters,' with exceptionally high interest in Rejuran.

The Rejuran treatment line enables comprehensive changes, including not only skin regeneration but also improvements in moisture and elasticity. This makes it the most beloved treatment among clients seeking "noticeable skin condition improvement" during short stays.

📌 Collagen Treatments: 'Juvelook' Takes First Place

Interest in collagen, fillers, and Botox remains steady.

Among these, Juvelook—a type of collagen injection—induces natural collagen production within the skin. This allows for natural elasticity and volume changes, as well as fine-line improvement, making it especially popular with clients who want to look younger naturally, without obvious signs of treatment. 😉

Visiting Korea Short-Term? Consider 'These Treatments'

For clients visiting Korea on short schedules, two points matter most:

Can I return to normal activities immediately after treatment?
Are the results visible right away?

Here are treatments that work well for these needs. 👏

📌 Identify Your Biggest Skin Concern!

For short-term travelers, a limited stay duration may make it challenging to receive multiple treatments. Therefore, identifying your most important skin concern and selecting treatments accordingly is crucial!

Lifting: Onda Lifting, Titanium Lifting

Both have minimal bruising and swelling, allowing immediate outings or resuming the schedule after treatment. Additionally, immediate lifting effects appear, and as collagen production is stimulated over time, changes become distinctly noticeable.
Skin Texture, Pores, Tone Improvement: Rejuran

Rejuran Healer activates natural skin regeneration ability to restore skin to its normal condition. While treatment effects can be seen after just one session, repeated treatments of 3 or more sessions are typically more effective.
Skin Volume Boost: Juvelook

Juvelook particles are extremely fine. Using much thinner needles than typical filler injections results in minimal pain, bruising, and injection marks, causing little interference with daily life.
