Chinese names vs Korean names for common skin clinic treatments
Treatment names in Chinese-language guides often don't match what Korean clinics call them. Here's a reference table (for understanding names only, not a recommendation of any treatment).
| Common Chinese name | Korean | Rough pronunciation |
|---|---|---|
| 水光针 (skin booster injections) | 물광주사 | mul-gwang ju-sa |
| 丽珠兰 (PN injections) | 리쥬란 | ri-jyu-ran |
| 热玛吉 (Thermage) | 써마지 | sseo-ma-ji |
| 超声刀 (Ulthera) | 울쎄라 | ul-sse-ra |
| 肉毒素 (botulinum toxin) | 보톡스 | bo-tok-seu |
| 填充 (filler) | 필러 | pil-leo |
| 激光嫩肤 (laser toning) | 레이저 토닝 | re-i-jeo to-ning |
| 面诊 (consultation) | 상담 | sang-dam |
Tips
- Names are only the start; whether it suits you is for the doctor to judge after a consultation
- One Chinese term may cover different devices or products in Korea, so ask exactly what's meant
- Ask for written aftercare instructions
