Data limitations
  • These are statements on each branch's official page checked 2026-11-07 to 2026-11-08, not medical advice; pain varies by person and area.
  • The English text is a reviewed rendering: it keeps the numbing method, application time and what may be felt, and leaves out claims of no pain, comparisons and reassurance; follow each source link for the original.
  • Only the 6 Seoul branches whose official website and medical-institution registry identity match and whose statement was reviewed are listed; branches whose statement mixes in other treatments are left out.
