II. In-depth reviews of four top dermatology clinics in Gangnam District
① Seeye Dermatology
Seeye Dermatology is located just 3 minutes walk from Sinnyeongbong Station on Line 9. It is one of the most highly recommended clinics in the Cheongdam area. Director Dr. Lee Min-hyuk graduated from Yonsei University School of Medicine and specializes in anti-aging treatments. His clinic has received over 2,000 positive reviews on Naver.
Key features: The director personally operates all equipment; uses the original fifth-generation Thermage FLX device; provides post-treatment cooling care packages.
② BLS Clinic Cheongdam Branch
The BLS Clinic’s Cheongdam branch, located at 830 Seonyeong-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, is one of the fastest-growing clinics on the BeautsGO platform in recent years. Its strength lies in “personalized treatment plans”—each patient undergoes a 3D facial scan before receiving a customized treatment based on their facial structure, fat distribution, and skin elasticity, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Key advantages: 3D skin analysis technology, personalized treatment plans, fully Chinese-speaking staff, exclusive discounts on BeautsGO.
③ GD Dermatology
GD Dermatology focuses on “natural anti-aging” and avoids the “fake-face” effect caused by excessive injections. Its medical team carefully evaluates each patient’s facial dynamics and calculates the exact dosage for each treatment area to ensure natural results. The clinic is well-known among bloggers in Taiwan and Hong Kong and has frequently been rated as a “must-visit” Cheongdam dermatology clinic.
④ Benjamin Dermatology
Benjamin Dermatology places great emphasis on “medical safety,” and its doctors all come from top institutions such as Seoul National University Hospital. The clinic is particularly skilled in treating complex skin issues like scar repair and pigmentation disorders. It also offers popular anti-aging treatments like Thermage and picosecond laser therapy, making it an ideal choice for those seeking safe and reliable beauty treatments.

IV. Sharing of 3 real cases
Case 1: Miss Chen (32 years old, Hong Kong) | 600 ultrasound treatments + Lijulan
Visited clinic: SEYE Dermatology
Treatment: 600 Ulthera sessions (whole face + neck) + 2 cc of Lijulan hyaluronic acid injections
Cost: ⩩2,300,000 (approximately HK$13,000)
Real experience: “I flew from Hong Kong to Seoul just for this treatment. After the procedure at SEYE, the clinic provided cold compresses for aftercare. My face was a bit red but not significantly swollen when I got back to the hotel. Two months later, I could clearly see that my jawline was sharper than before; my friends even said I looked slimmer. The results peaked after three months, and nine months later, the effects are still noticeable. The only thing to note is that some areas did feel a bit painful during the treatment, but the clinic applied enough anesthesia, so it was overall tolerable. I will definitely come back again!”
Recovery period: Slight fever for 3 days after the procedure; fully recovered within 1 week
Case 2: Mrs. Lin (38 years old, Taipei, Taiwan) | Thermage FLX for whole face + eyes
Visited clinic: BLS Clinic Cheongtan Main Branch
Treatment: 600 Thermage FLX sessions for whole face + 100 sessions for eyes
Cost: ⩩1,980,000 (approximately NT$47,000)
Real experience: “This is my third time undergoing Thermage treatment, but it’s my first time doing it in Seoul. What sets BLS apart is that they perform a 3D facial scan before the procedure. The doctor identified the areas that needed extra treatment based on my bone structure and fat distribution, rather than simply distributing 600 sessions evenly across my face. One month after the treatment, my cheeks became noticeably tighter, and the sagging around my eyes also improved significantly. I highly recommend this clinic because they provide services in Chinese, so you don’t have to worry about communication issues at all.”
Recovery period: Almost no recovery time required; normal makeup can be applied on the second day after the procedure.
Case 3: Miss Wang (26 years old, from Shanghai, mainland China) | Juvelook Youthful Face Injection + Hydrating Injection
Facility visited: GD Dermatology
Treatment plan: 2 bottles of Juvelook Youthful Face Injection + 2 cc of basic hydrating injection
