Is there a laser hair removal center in Seoul?

I am really doubting there is as Koreans don't really have any hair...

But curious anyway, maybe their clients are strictly foreigners. Any idea on cost, if there is one.

There are more clinics than you know...and they are full of Koreans!
Try Dr.Lee at 02)756-5118 (English line). He speaks Korean, Japanese and good English. Located near Sukmyung University Station. He does hair removal, mole removal, vein zapping, even Botox! And much more...!
Price? Not sure, but I know it's cheaper than in North America.

I found one thanks!!

Is laser the most permanent option? I'm looking to get it done in Busan. Can anyone suggest a place?

[Darkness]

Just google it, I bet you find one.

It takes 5-8 sessions, and it's permanent. Just take some time to kill all the follicles.

anybody have a price quote?

Plus $3.95 shipping and handling....



What do you want done? 5 treatments around your anus is $280usd, I'm not lying...and thinking about gettin it done! haha.

Full back is $1200usd, for 5 treatments. Back in in N.America it's about $700+ per treatment, so $5000 and up....way cheaper in korea. Plus you get free cancer with every treatment...

:LOL:

it's not actually that permenant you know.....

[Darkness]

what do you mean?

[traxxe]

What about adding hair? Hair transplant surgery? What does that cost here?

[jindodog]

well, i've looked into a bit since i was considering it before and first of all, there are different lasers out there...so you should find out what kind of laser your clinic uses. Also, since laser hair removal is quite new, they don't really know if it's 'permanent' and there's a disclaimer that the hair might grow back, but will be a lot thinner. Lastly, the reason i personally decided not to do it was that a) it was going to be really expensive after the 8-10 trips i would need (though prolly cheaper than the states) and b) my mom had it done in the states and she says to be careful because she has like a 'perma sunburn' where she had it done.....that's all i know about the topic.

pew pew (laser sound)

It's not permanent. Only 85% effective.

[Darkness]

What? That doesn't make sense...

Permanent and effective are TWO different things.

If it only removes 85% of the hair, that's one thing. But if it only removes it temporarily that's non-permanent. So what the hell are you talking about?
