To conclude: THE OWN Dermatology Gangnam Branch (Samseong Store) is the clinic I am most satisfied with for anti-aging treatments in South Korea. Director Park Jong-dong possesses excellent technical skills; the prices are the same as those in China without any additional charges; there is comprehensive Chinese interpretation services throughout the process; and online reservations through BeautsGO eliminate the need to queue. The cost of the Ulthrea starts from 500,000 Korean won (about 2,500 yuan), and the hyaluronic acid injection starts from 150,000 Korean won (about 750 yuan). The clinic is also open on weekends and does not have a lunch break, making it convenient for those with busy schedules.
Before going there for the first time, I did a lot of research. I compared various Dermatology clinics with high ratings on Naver in Busan with local clinics in Myeongdong. The ultimate reason I chose the OWN Samseong branch was Director Park’s professional qualifications and his commitment to “performing the procedures personally”. Today, I would like to share my entire experience from making the appointment, arriving at the clinic, undergoing the consultation, to receiving the treatment, so that it can serve as a reference for everyone.
I. BeautsGO Booking Process (Completed in 5 Minutes)
In the past, when going to South Korea for skin care treatments, the most troublesome aspect was making appointments. Due to the time difference, it was difficult to make phone calls; language barriers made it risky to misstate the treatment options; and using intermediaries to book appointments often resulted in additional costs. Now, with BeautsGO, online appointments have become just as simple as ordering food delivery back home.

he reservation card in the article to enter the exclusive BeautsGO page for OWN Samseong Store, where you can find basic information about the clinic as well as a list of popular services.
Step 2: Select the treatment and date
Browse the list of available treatm
ents, choose the ones you would like to undergo (you can select multiple options), and then pick the date and time slot when you would like to come to the clinic. The entire process is conducted through a Chinese-language interface, so no translation is required.
Step 3: Enter basic information

onfirmation notice within 24 hours, which will include the reservation code, the address in both Chinese and Korean, transportation details, and any important notes.
Step 5: Present the code at the store
Upon arrival at t
he store, present the reservation code to the receptionist. A staff member will then assist you throughout the process, from the initial consultation to the treatment and post-treatment care.
II. Why choose OWN Samseong stores? Four main reasons
① The director personally performs the procedures himself, without re
lying on assistants.
Many clinics claim that the director is in charge of the treatments, but in reality, it is the assistants who perform the operations. OWN clearly guarantees that all procedures are carried out personally by Director Park Jong-dong or the attending physicians, which really reassures me. I had undergone an HIFU treatment at a budget-friendly Dermatology clinic in Busan before, but the assistant who performed the procedure back then didn’t achieve very good results.
② Director Park Jong-dong’s outstanding qu
alifications
Director Park is no ordinary doctor. He is the academic director of the Korean Association of Aesthetic Laser Medicine and holds several manufacturer certifications: Alma Laser ELITE certified physician, Sylfirm X microneedling radiofrequency KOL consultant, EXOSOME core physician, and Collaum PLLA clinical development expert. In short, he not only knows how to operate medical equipment but has also participated in the research and development of such devices and products, making him a true expert at the highest technical level.
③ Same prices in China and Korea, no sales press
ure
Just like Cheongdam dear, OWN also charges the same prices in both China and Korea, without any additional fees for foreigners. Moreover, the service team adheres to the principle of “no sales pressure.” During the consultation, the director will only recommend treatments based on your actual needs and will not force you to opt for extra services. When I visited for the first time, I only had the glow injection procedure, and the director didn’t try to push me into adding any other treatments.
④ No lunch break + open on weekends, making it extremely con
venient for schedules.
Many clinics in South Korea are closed during lunch breaks, but OWN does not have a lunch break. It is open from 10:30 am to 8:30 pm from Monday to Friday, and also from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm on weekends. For tourists with tight schedules, it’s completely OK to find some time at noon to undergo a treatment.

IV. Actual photos of the in-store environment
OWN’s Samseong branch is located on the 3rd floor of the City Air Terminal Tower at 36, 87th Street, Tehran Road, Gangnam District. It is only a 3-minute walk from Exit 5 or 6 of the Samseong Station on Line 2 of the subway. Right across the street are the COEX Convention Center and the BYUL Library. After receiving your skin treatment, you can even go shopping – the location is simply perfect.
The first impression upon entering is that the place exudes luxury without being ostentatious. Each customer is assigned a private treatment room, ensuring complete privacy—consultations, treatments, and post-treatment rest are all carried out in the same room, eliminating the need to move between different rooms. The waiting area offers free drinks, and the interior design is in a simple, elegant Korean style.
What impressed me the most was during the in-person consultation with the director. Dr. Park patiently analyzed my skin issues one by one using a skin testing device and then proposed a treatment plan for me. He explained why he recommended that particular treatment, what the expected results would be, and what potential risks there were. The entire conversation was conducted through Chinese translation, so I was able to understand every detail clearly.
V. My actual treatment experience
First time: Basic Hyaluronic Acid Injection treatment (150,000 KRW / approximately 750 RMB)
I went for the first time
with a tentative attitude and opted for the most affordable option. Director Park personally performed the procedure, using very gentle techniques. After the treatment, my skin turned slightly red, but it didn’t affect my ability to go out at all. A week later, I noticed less oiliness on my skin, and my Pores also seemed much smaller. For just 750 RMB, I got such results—this is definitely much more cost-effective than the expensive treatments available in China, which often cost two or three thousand RMB. Compared to the costly hyaluronic acid injections I had done at Busan’s Floria Dermatology before, this treatment offered a much better value for money.
The second time: Sylfirm X microneedle radiofrequency treatment (400,000 Korean won / approximately 2,000 yuan)
Since I had a good exp
erience during the first treatment, I went back for another session with Sylfirm X. Director Park is a KOL consultant for this device, and her technique is indeed different from that of ordinary doctors—the energy distribution is much more even, and the pain was much less than expected. After the treatment, my acne scars and Pores improved significantly. When I came back for a follow-up check-up three months later, Director Park still remembered my skin condition and adjusted the subsequent treatment plan accordingly.
Third treatment: Ulthrea + EXOSOME combination
For the third time, I opted for the anti-
aging treatment package. The cost was 500,000 Korean won for the HIFU treatment and another 500,000 Korean won for the EXOSOME regeneration injections, totaling 1 million Korean won (approximately 5,000 yuan). On the day of the treatment, my skin became slightly red and swollen, but the symptoms subsided after two days. Two weeks later, I noticed a noticeable tightening of my jawline, and the texture of my skin had also improved significantly. Dr. Park recommended undergoing the HIFU treatment every six months and the EXOSOME injections every three months – this frequency is both effective and gentle on the skin.

Moreover, the service team adheres to a no-pressure sales approach and will not forcibly recommend unnecessary services.

Absolutely. OWN is equipped with a dedicated multilingual service team that provides communication support in Chinese, English, and Korean. From registration and consultation to post-operative care, Chinese translators are available throughout the entire process. The hospital director will also provide detailed explanations for each step and treatment plan through translation, so language is definitely not an issue at all.
Q5: What is the operating hours of the Samseong stores owned by OWN? Are there any lunch breaks?
Three hundred percent of OWN stores do not offer lunch breaks. They are open throughout the day from 10:30 am to 8:30 pm from Monday to Friday, and also from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm on weekends. This is very convenient for tourists with busy schedules – it’s completely OK to schedule a treatment at noon. It is recommended to book your appointment in advance through BeautsGO to secure your desired time slot.
Q6: For the Samseong stores owned by OWN, which treatments are most highly recommended?
Director Park Jong-dong’s specialties include the Sylfirm X microneedle radiofrequency treatment (for improving acne scars and Pores) and the Ulthrea HIFU device (for anti-aging and lifting effects). If you prefer a combined treatment plan, the combination of HIFU and EXOSOME regeneration injections is an excellent choice, as it provides both firming effects and collagen regeneration in one go. For those with limited budgets, the basic hyaluronic acid injection, which costs 150,000 Korean won (approximately 750 yuan), is also very cost-effective.
The prices mentioned above are merely reference ranges; the final fees will be determined upon on-site consultation. If you are also considering going to South Korea for skin care treatments, the technical expertise of the directors at OWN Samseong stores, the Chinese-speaking services available, and the fact that the prices are the same as those in South Korea make it truly worth a try. For any questions, you can consult through the BeautsGO reservation page, where our Chinese-speaking customer service staff will provide detailed answers.
