Hey, does anybody know of a place in Seoul that does laser hair removal?

[snowy32]

Yup, I sure do.
Dr Woo's skin clinic.
ph. 756 5118

I hope that URL works. At the top just click on english.
I will be going for my third treatment on Saturday. The first time I went the nurse giggled at me so I felt a little uncomfortable but the second time was much better. It costs more the first time but gets cheaper.
I have seen other foriengers there, and the doctors speak english very well.

I second Dr Woo's clinic. The doctor lee on the fourth floor is a great doctor and has excellent english. Well worth the investment.

The first time it cost me almost 300,000 because you have to have the inital doctors meeting. The second time it was 250,000 but that was more expensive than normal because I wanted more work done.
I think I'll only have to go 1 or 2 more times so although it seems expensive it saves you money in the long run whereas Electrolysis may seem cheap but it quickly adds up.

is it too personal for me to ask where the hair is your having removed? it just sounds so drastic... well, maybe i could see doing it for legs/underarms... just... wow.

Well, it was my bikini line. I don't know what the costs would be for a larger area. I would assume the cost would be higher and the cost of the anisthetic cream is a little high.
Did you mean drastic in regards to the cost or the idea of having a laser on your *beep*?

[i_teach_esl]

not the cost, but the idea of... this topic has been on the back of my mind all day, and i think i understand more now. we do take time near daily removing hair from our bodies, i guess there's really no reason to not do laser if you want... just tripped me out a bit is all. sorry about that!

I go to Dr. Woo's myself. The English phone number is 02-756-5118. You will most likely get Dr. Lee's answering machine but he is very good about calling clients/patients back. I have since had two friends go to him for various hair removal services.

The cost will vary on area and color/thickness of hair but they do have lasers to accomodate all hair and skin types. Since everyone is different, the number of treatments you will need varies person to person but it is usually 3-5x's for complete removal in any given area. Each time you go it's 10% cheaper than the last time.

They do more than just hair removal and two of the three of us have used there services for other skin treatments.

Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions.

How do I get to Wooskin clinic? Which building and what floor? I have heard it is a walkable distance from Itaewon, is that true? Help!!

[jinju]

Id love to have laser hair. Why are you getting it removed?

[spliff]

Some hairs sticking out the top of your bikini is considered VERY sexy...why would anyone consider this?
