Miple ClinicHow to choose a diet Korean medicine clinic in Busan — 7 things to check before a consultation
A good diet Korean medicine clinic is chosen not by 'how fast it slims you' but by 'how precisely it prescribes and how it follows through to the end.' There are many diet Korean medicine clinics in Busan and Seomyeon. Before a consultation, just checking the 7 points below makes it much easier to pick the right place for you.
1. Can they show safety as 'evidence'?
Herbal diet medicine often includes herbs that raise metabolism, so the biggest worry is whether it is okay for the liver and kidneys. Rather than the words "it's safe," ask whether they have verifiable evidence such as actual blood test data.
Miple Korean Medicine Clinic: We ran liver and kidney blood tests on every first-visit patient for several years to confirm the safety of taking the herbal medicine (2022–2024 comparison before and during use, see the results). Based on these results, we now prescribe through a medical history, a body composition test, and the doctor's consultation, and review your recent test results if you have a chronic condition.
2. How many stages is the prescription divided into, and how often is it adjusted?
Appetite, constitution, and response to medicine differ from person to person. If there is only one prescription, or it starts at a strong stage from the beginning, discomfort is more likely. Ask whether the stages are finely divided and adjusted by regularly following your progress.
Miple Korean Medicine Clinic: We divide our signature prescription MYCUT into 7 stages and adjust the stage after a check-in every month.
3. Where and by whom is the herbal medicine made?
Even with the same prescription, results differ with the quality of the herbs and the manufacturing process. Check which herbs are used (whether GMP-certified), where it is prepared, and whether the manufacturing process is open to view.
Miple Korean Medicine Clinic: We use GMP-certified herbs and do the grinding, mixing, pill-making, vacuum low-temperature drying, inspection, and packaging ourselves in the in-house pill-making room. We show the manufacturing process in video and photos.
4. Is there evidence you can verify?
Rather than the words "a special prescription," evidence that a third party can verify, such as a patent number, a book, or research, is more trustworthy.
Miple Korean Medicine Clinic: GONG BI JIN YAK Patent No. 10-2865645 (Herbal Diet Composition Containing Gongjindan Using a Vacuum Low-Temperature Drying Method and Manufacturing Method Thereof), and the head doctor's book 'The Secret to Ending Diets with Korean Medicine'.
5. Does the medical professional see you from start to finish?
If the person who consults, the person who prescribes, and the person who follows your progress are different, stage adjustments are hard to make accurately. Check whether the Korean medicine doctor consults you in person and follows your progress.
Miple Korean Medicine Clinic: The head doctor, with 19 years of clinical experience, personally handles consultation, prescription, preparation, and follow-up.
6. Do they manage the 'maintenance stage' after weight loss?
Right after weight loss, the body goes into a 'power-saving mode' that lowers metabolism, and hunger hormones increase. To help prevent the yo-yo effect, you need a maintenance-stage prescription and care after reaching your goal.
Miple Korean Medicine Clinic: As you near your goal, we help with a soft landing of 3 to 6 months or more using a maintenance-stage prescription at a lower stage.
7. Is the cost structure clear?
Check whether you can get a rough guideline before the consultation on how the amount changes with the prescription period, stage, and composition.
Miple Korean Medicine Clinic: We publish the prescription options and standard prices for MYCUT, GONG BI JIN YAK, and Gongjindan on the product page.
