To conclude: Cheongdam dear Dermatology is one of the clinics I have visited in South Korea where the pricing is the most transparent and the service is particularly friendly towards foreigners. The same prices apply whether you are Chinese or Korean, and a Chinese-speaking supervisor will accompany you throughout the treatment process. All services are clearly priced: the Hyaluronic Acid injection starts from 350,000 South Korean won (about 1,750 RMB), Rejuran PN starts from 300,000 South Korean won (about 1,500 RMB), and Ulthrea costs 440,000 South Korean won (about 2,200 RMB). After the treatment, you will feel refreshed and invigorated, without having to worry about being overcharged.
I have visited there three times myself, and each experience was very positive. Today, I have compiled the information I have gathered regarding how to make high-rated appointments at Dermatology clinics in South Korea, as well as the detailed prices at dear in Cheongdam, for everyone’s reference.
I. Why choose Cheongdam dear? Three compelling reasons
Before going there for the first time, I did a lot of research. I compared various affordable Dermatology clinics in Busan with those run by locals in Myeongdong. In the end, my choice of dear in Cheongdam was based on a very simple reason:
Firstly, the prices are the same for both Chinese and Korean customers. This is extremely important. Many clinics charge foreigners a surcharge, often adding 30% to 50% to the regular price. However, Cheongdam dear clearly states that the prices are the same for both groups of customers. What you see is exactly what you will pay; there are no hidden fees.
Secondly, the Chinese-speaking supervisor accompanies the patient throughout the entire process. From registration upon arrival at the hospital, through the consultation during the examination, to the pre-operative instructions and post-operative care, this supervisor provides comprehensive one-stop service. You don’t have to worry about language barriers at all; in fact, communication may even be smoother than it is back home.
Thirdly, the prices are incredibly transparent. All services are clearly labeled with their prices, and during the in-person consultation, the director will recommend suitable options based on your needs, without trying to push expensive treatments on you. When I visited for the first time, I only had the glow injection procedure done, and the director didn’t try to suggest any other treatments.
II. The latest price list for 2026 (detailed information for all services)
The prices listed below are based on my actual in-person consultation at the clinic. The exchange rate used is approximately 10,000 South Korean won = 5 Chinese yuan, and these figures are for reference only. The final price will be determined upon your in-person visit to the clinic.
1️⃣ Injection-based treatments
| Project Name | Korean won price | Reference for RMB | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rejuran PN 2 centum core | 300,000 South Korean won | Approximately 1,500 yuan | The top choice for beginners looking to combat early signs of aging |

The first time I tried any treatment was the basic glow injection, which cost 350,000 Korean won (about 1,750 yuan), and the results were really impressive. Previously, I had tried a similar treatment in China that cost nearly 4,000 yuan, but the results were not as good. Later on, I got another enhanced glow injection for 550,000 Korean won, which included Filler and vitamin C, and my skin condition improved significantly since then.
2️⃣ Anti-aging and Lifting Treatments

The second time I underwent the American-style HIFU treatment, 100 sessions were performed for a cost of 440,000 Korean won (about 2,200 yuan). On the same day after the treatment, my skin turned slightly red, but two weeks later, the lines around my jaw became significantly less visible. The effect lasted for approximately 6 months. Compared with the HIFU treatments in China, which often cost tens of thousands of yuan per session, this option offers an excellent value for money.

III. On-site photography and environmental experience at the clinic
The Dear clinic in Cheongdam is located in the heart of Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam District. It is only an 8-minute walk from Exit 3 of the Ssangnyu-tteong Roda Station on the Bundang Line. From the outside, the building looks just like a typical South Korean medical aesthetics clinic, with the entire 7th floor dedicated to outpatient consultations.
The first impression upon entering is cleanliness, brightness, and a lack of excess embellishment. The waiting area offers free drinks and snacks, and the Chinese-speaking supervisor will be waiting for you at the door. When I went there for the first time, I was a bit nervous, but the supervisor patiently guided me through the entire process: filling out forms → preliminary consultation → pre-treatment photography → treatment → post-treatment care → follow-up registration.
During the in-person consultation, the director was extremely patient. With the assistant translating into Chinese, he explained one by one which treatments were suitable for me and what their prices were. I asked whether it was possible to undergo HIFU and hyaluronic acid injections at the same time, and the director advised that doing them separately would yield better results. He didn’t try to push me into combining the treatments just to earn more money. This really increased my goodwill towards this clinic.

In the past, when going to South Korea for Dermatology treatments, I always struggled with how to make appointments. Now, it’s much more convenient to simply use BeautsGO for online reservations. The entire process is conducted in Chinese, and all I need to do upon arriving at the clinic is present my reservation code. Compared to having to make international calls to schedule appointments at Floria Dermatology in Busan before, this is definitely a huge improvement in convenience.
V. Practical Suggestions for Postoperative Care
The focus of nursing varies depending on the specific project. I would like to share my experience with everyone:
After the hyaluronic acid injection: Apply a medical beauty mask for 7 consecutive days. In the first 3 days, avoid wearing makeup or using any functional skincare products. The first time I was lazy and wore makeup on the 4th day, my skin turned slightly red, so I decided to be more disciplined afterwards.
After HIFU treatment: Do not wash your face with hot water within 3 days, apply a repairing cream daily, and avoid strenuous exercise for 1 week. It is normal to experience slight redness after the procedure; the results will be most noticeable after 2 weeks.
After getting Filler injections for lip augmentation: avoid eating apples and laughing too hard to prevent the filler from shifting. The swelling will subside after 3 days, and the lip shape will become very natural, without looking like “sausage lips”. The director’s technique is indeed excellent – he injects a small amount of filler in multiple areas to achieve a more natural look.
After photon skin rejuvenation: Be sure to protect your skin from the sun carefully! Use an SPF50+ physical sunscreen to prevent darkening. Don’t pick at the scabs; let them fall off naturally.
Also, please remember not to drink alcohol, take aspirin, or use acidic skincare products in the week before the procedure, as these can affect the results. Once, I drank alcohol before the surgery, and the bruising was much more severe than usual.
VI. How should people with different needs choose the right treatment options?
Based on my three experiences at Cheongdam’s dear, I would like to share some options for your reference:
For those aged 25–35 who want to combat the early signs of aging, we recommend the combination of the American version of ultrasonic lifting treatment and Rejuran PN, with a total cost of approximately 740,000 Korean won (≈3,700 yuan) – this package provides both firming and anti-aging effects in one go. Alternatively, you can opt for the direct package (ultrasonic treatment + Thermage = 1,900,000 Korean won), which saves you over 4,000 yuan compared to choosing the treatments separately.
Dry and dehydrated skin: Start with the basic Hyaluronic Acid Injection for 350,000 KRW; one treatment consists of 3 sessions. After the first session, I noticed a significant reduction in oiliness, and my makeup held much better.
Acne/pockmarked skin: Fractional laser treatment costs 700,000 Korean won per session. Three sessions include two free LED blue light treatments. My friend had this treatment, and after three months, the pockmarks were reduced by 70%.
If your budget is limited but you want to give it a try, South Korea’s ultrasonic lifting treatment costs 55,000 Korean won (about 275 yuan), or the Tanco thread treatment also costs 55,000 Korean won. For just a few hundred yuan, you can experience the quality of South Korea’s skin care services – it’s really worth it.
