Our Story

Where Passion Meets Purpose

Founded by a Korean-American dermatologist who believed the world deserved access to Seoul's skincare secrets.

Dr. Min-Ji Kim
The Beginning

A Bridge Between Two Worlds

Growing up between Los Angeles and Seoul, Dr. Min-Ji Kim witnessed a stark contrast in skincare culture. In Korea, skincare was a ritual—a daily practice of self-care passed down through generations.

After two decades as a dermatologist, she noticed her American patients traveling to Seoul for treatments unavailable at home. The experience was often overwhelming—language barriers, unfamiliar clinics, and no guidance on aftercare.

In 2019, she founded Luxe Beauty Trip to bridge this gap: bringing the world's most discerning clients to Seoul's finest practitioners, with every detail handled seamlessly.
