Beauty app Gangnam Unni tops 1,600 foreign patient bookings in 5 months

Healing Paper, the operator of Korea's leading beauty medical information platform Gangnam Unni, has announced that its concierge service for foreign patients seeking cosmetic and dermatology treatments in Korea has surpassed 1,600 completed cases in just five months since its launch in March. The service, called Unni Guide, was introduced to help foreign patients navigate Korea's beauty medical scene, tackling language barriers and information gaps often faced by international patients.

The service operates through both an online platform and a physical service center, and its monthly completed procedures have grown by approximately 30 percent each month since its inception. Over 1,600 patients from 73 countries, including Taiwan, the United States, China, Thailand, and Singapore, have made bookings through the service.

Korea recorded a record 2 million foreign patients last year, a surge that the company attributes to the increasing popularity of beauty and medical treatments in the country.
