One to three weeks in Busan and Seoul for founders opening an aesthetic clinic abroad — spent inside a working Korean clinic, on everything a treatment list doesn't tell you.
You leave with the clinic's operating logic rebuilt for your market, and the option to open under the OLA affiliation mark.
Consulting hands you a deck. This hands you a system that already works, and a name that already means something — the two things that took OLA years to build.
Not a summary of Korean aesthetics. The operating content of a clinic that runs every day, handed over and rebuilt around your market, your budget, and your patients.
Every clinic in your market claims K-Beauty. Few can point to a Korean clinic that will vouch for them. You open with the methods behind the door and the credential on it.
This program is about the clinic, not the needle — so it works whether or not you hold a medical licence. Licensed physicians who also want technique can add OLA's 1:1 or Group hands-on training to the same trip as a separate program. Non-medical founders take the system and hire the physicians who execute it.
Running a clinic well is a different skill from performing the procedures inside it, and this program is squarely about the first. Nothing here happens in a lecture room.
Beside the consultation
Real patients, real decisions. You watch a case get framed, and you learn what separates a good outcome from an acceptable one.
With the price list open
We take our menu apart in front of you and rebuild it against your market, your costs, and your patients.
In the demo room
Manufacturer meetings arranged around what you are actually evaluating, with someone beside you who knows what to refuse.
On the floor
A full working week with our clinic manager: reception, skin analysis, booking, recall, and the standards we hire against.
Across the table, on the last day
Your business plan, read line by line by the Director, with the answers you now have written into it.
Not hands-on procedure training
No injecting, cutting, or operating a treatment device on a person during this program. Licensed physicians can add hands-on training separately.
Not a medical qualification
The certificate confirms participation in a business program. It confers no clinical licence or authority, and procedures in your clinic must be performed by physicians licensed in your country.
Not a franchise
Affiliation is not a franchise: you own your clinic outright, set your own prices, and pay no revenue share. What you gain is the affiliation mark, the network, and continued faculty access.
Not a turnkey build-out
We connect you to interior, licensing, and equipment specialists and sit in the meetings. Contracts, permits, and construction in your country remain yours to execute.
Every tier states how many days you spend with the Director herself. That number is contractual, not aspirational — you will know before you book exactly whose time you are buying.

Director-led
Dr. Song Jennifer Kim — live consultations, treatment menu logic, protocols, patient selection, and your business plan review.
Manager-led
Our English-speaking clinic manager — skin analysis systems, patient flow, booking, CRM and recall, pricing structure.
External
Equipment manufacturer demonstrations and head-office meetings, plus observation at partner clinics in Seoul.
Core and Extended run the same sequence, compressed. Every schedule is built around your market, your budget, and the devices you are evaluating.
Director-led — clinical judgment
Consultation philosophy and how a case is framed. The logic behind the treatment menu. Skin booster protocols including PDRN, Rejuran and Juvelook. Patient selection criteria for body contouring.
Manager-led — the operating system
Running the skin analysis system. Patient reception and floor flow. Booking, CRM and recall. How the price list is actually structured — hands-on, with your own numbers.
Demonstrations and head-office meetings
We schedule manufacturer demonstrations around the device categories you are considering, and we come with you. You see the machines running, meet the people behind them, and ask the questions that matter before you sign anything.
Your leverage, not ours
You are a prospective buyer, so vendors compete for your attention. OLA Korea coordinates and accompanies. Purchase decisions, negotiations, and contracts remain entirely yours.
Partner clinic observation
Two to three days observing device categories OLA does not operate in-house — HIFU, Ulthera, and InMode-class platforms — in live use at partner clinics in Seoul.
Build-out and licensing advisory
Interior design and layout, regulatory approval, and clinic setup, working through an established setup checklist with a specialist partner firm.
Business plan review, certificate & affiliation
On the final day the Director reviews your actual business plan — menu, pricing, staffing, and equipment list — line by line. Certificate of Participation is awarded, and the OLA Affiliated Clinic agreement is issued for signing.
You can already treat, but opening a clinic is a different problem — menu, pricing, devices, staff, systems. Add hands-on training to the same trip if you want technique too.
You are opening your first aesthetic clinic and will hire the physicians rather than be one. You need to know what you are buying and who you are hiring.
You are funding or running an aesthetic venture and need to evaluate clinical quality and capital equipment decisions without relying entirely on a third party.
You already operate in beauty, wellness, or dermatology and are adding a K-Aesthetic line or a new location, and want the Korean standard as your reference point.
Submit the application, then a video consultation to confirm fit, target market, and tier.
Sign the non-disclosure agreement and the non-medical observer consent. Required before scheduling.
Receive a dated proposal with your schedule and itemised pricing. Deposit secures the dates.
Invitation letter for the C-3-4 short-term business visa, plus an accommodation shortlist.
Vendor demonstrations and Seoul partner clinic dates confirmed and sent to you in writing.
The program runs, ending with the Director's review of your business plan, the certificate, and your affiliation agreement.
No — and holding one doesn't exclude you either. The program is about the clinic, not the needle, so physicians and non-medical founders sit in the same room and get the same system. Physicians who also want technique can add 1:1 or Group hands-on training to the same trip.
That is the point of the program. You leave with the treatment menu structure, the protocol logic behind each offering, the pricing architecture, the equipment specification, and the operating system — rebuilt around your market rather than copied wholesale. The procedures themselves are performed by physicians licensed in your country, whether that is you or someone you hire.
Yes. Graduates may be designated an OLA Affiliated Clinic — the right to display the official affiliation mark, listing in the OLA global network, continued faculty access, and protocol updates. It is not a franchise: you own your clinic, set your own prices, and pay no revenue share. Scope, quality standards, and term are set out in a separate affiliation agreement signed after the program.
Not inside this program. Korean medical law does not permit procedural instruction for non-medical participants, so the immersion itself carries no hands-on component. Licensed physicians can book OLA's hands-on training alongside it as a separate program — many do, and we schedule the two together.
Two days on Core, three on Extended, four on Full. These are stated in the contract. The remaining days are led by our English-speaking clinic manager, by equipment manufacturers, and by partner clinics in Seoul — each chosen because they are better placed to teach that specific thing.
We arrange demonstrations and head-office meetings for the device categories you are evaluating, and we accompany you throughout. OLA Korea does not take a position in your purchase — negotiations and contracts are yours.
Founders often bring a clinical or operational partner, and we generally recommend it — having someone who will run the floor see the same things is valuable. Additional participants are quoted individually. Raise it during the consultation.
A C-3-4 short-term business visa is generally appropriate. We issue an official invitation letter stating the purpose accurately as a non-medical business observation program — misstating it is the most common cause of refusal.
Yes, as a condition of registration. The program exposes our operating systems, pricing structure, and vendor relationships, and the agreement protects both sides.
Programs run by arrangement, generally one cohort per quarter, and only one participant group at a time. Enquire early — the Director's days are the constraint.
Where you're opening, when, and what you're evaluating. If this isn't the right program for you, we'll say so.
