Why Docent

Docent is sort of like having a friend in Seoul, who is well-connected and in the know, sharing insider tips on clinics. A refined insight that can only come from experience.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed in the sea of paid reviews, influencer videos, and way too many trends in skincare.

Docent offers a clear, unsponsored perspective—honest, informed, and purely focused on quality experiences. We’re your go-to Korean Skincare Guide with more depth, a lot of integrity, and no more guesswork.

The benefits

  • The quality of healthcare in South Korea is generally very high. South Korean hospitals and doctors are often ranked among the best in the world.

  • South Korea is known for its cutting-edge beauty treatments, and many of the latest skincare procedures are first developed and tested in Seoul.

  • Wait times for procedures in South Korea are typically much shorter than in the United States. This is because South Korea has a universal healthcare system, which means that everyone has access to healthcare, regardless of their income or insurance status.

  • Skincare in South Korea is generally more affordable than in the United States. For example, the average cost of a Botox in South Korea is about $17 per unit, while the average cost in the LA, New York, or Chicago is $25, 30, $25 respectively.
