Hi everyone! I'm Hsiaoting from Taiwan. I've been looking for beauty clinics in Korea recently, but my Korean isn't great, and it's really frustrating when I'm reading reviews. A lot of people say to check Google or Naver reviews, but I can't understand them at all (sweat). I wanted to ask everyone, how do you judge if a clinic is reliable? Are there any red flags to watch out for?
For example, I'm not sure if I should avoid reviews that seem "too perfect," or if there are any common scams I should be wary of? I'd also love to hear if anyone has used any translation tools or methods to read reviews. I know I can't just rely on Google Translate, but I really don't have a choice, haha.
Also, do you ask friends for recommendations? Or are there other channels to find more genuine opinions? I want to do my homework before I go, but I also don't want to get scammed, so any advice would be greatly appreciated! Let's share and exchange ideas!

Hi Hsiaoting! I'm also from Taiwan and totally understand your struggle 😅 Have you tried searching directly on Instagram or YouTube for related posts? Some people share their entire treatment journey, which feels easier to judge authenticity than text reviews. What kind of treatment are you considering right now?
Hey Hsiaoting! I totally get the language barrier thing — I just ask locals I meet (like at my guesthouse or coffee shops) which places they'd actually recommend to friends, not just online. People are usually way more honest in person, and you can tell by their tone if they're being real or just promoting something. Also, comparing a bunch of different reviews helps spot the obviously fake ones that are *too* perfect, you know?
