“Why are there so many Dermatology clinics in Seoul, but yet the Hongdae branch of Kleam Hospital is always full of people?” This was the most frequently asked private message I received in 2026. Taking advantage of the opportunity to study in South Korea, I went there in person to investigate – and within less than half a day, I found the answer: here, there are no “package deals” or “trends followed by internet celebrities”; in fact, even the first question from the consultant isn’t “What treatment would you like to try today,” but rather “Let’s first see what your skin needs right now.” From the VISIA examination to the doctor’s one-on-one analysis of the results, and then to the customized treatment plan tailored to your current skin condition on the spot – the whole process completely rejects any form of mass-standardization. It has to be said that this personalized approach truly enhances the overall experience of skin care. Below, I will share with you my entire visit and my true feelings 👇
1. Where is the Hongdae branch of Kleam Hospital? The transportation is extremely convenient.
The Hongdae branch of Kleam Clinic is located at 3F of the Lotte L7 Hotel, 141 Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul. It is only about 1 minute’s walk from Exit 1 of the Hongdae Station on Line 2 of the subway, making it extremely easy to find.
Hongdae itself is one of the most popular shopping areas for young people in Seoul. Before or after undergoing any skin treatment, you can take the opportunity to stroll around the streets of Hongdae, visit local cafes, and enjoy some delicious food – it’s a convenient one-stop solution that maximizes your efficiency.

II. Say no to the assembly line approach! What exactly are the advantages of 1v1 personalized skin care services?
What is a streamlined Dermatology approach?
I believe that those who have visited Dermatology clinics in South Korea can attest to this: some of these clinics are so crowded that it’s almost intimidating. The process involves filling out forms, waiting in line, having a brief consultation in just 3 minutes, lying down for the treatment, and then leaving—everything moves like on an assembly line in a factory. Under such circumstances, doctors simply don’t have the time to properly assess your skin condition, let alone develop a customized treatment plan for you.
What are the advantages of the 1v1 personalized services offered by Kleam Hospital?
The positioning of the Hongdae branch of Kleam Hospital is to “reject the assembly-line approach.” Compared to the main branch in Myeongdong, the Hongdae branch attracts approximately 20-30% fewer visitors, resulting in a quieter waiting area. Doctors are also more willing to take the time for in-depth consultations. The actual experience is as follows: from the moment you enter until you leave, you receive one-on-one service. Doctors will adjust the treatment plan based on the results of your skin analysis, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all template.
This is especially suitable for newcomers who are visiting South Korea for the first time to receive skin care treatments – there’s no need to worry about language barriers or receiving perfunctory service. The Hongdae branch primarily serves local South Korean women in their 20s and 30s, as well as college students. The doctors have extensive experience in minor cosmetic procedures such as hyaluronic acid treatments, acne management, and Pores care, and their recommended treatment plans are tailored to meet the needs of young Asian skin.
III. Popular treatments and prices at the Hongdae branch of Kleam Hospital
The above prices are for reference only; the actual fees may vary depending on the individual treatment plan. Kleam Hospital implements a policy of equal prices for both foreign and South Korean patients, so you don’t have to worry about being overcharged. For purchases totaling 30,000 South Korean won or more, you can directly apply for tax refund at the hospital’s tax refund machine.
IV. Services and Environment at Kleam Hospital’s Hongdae Branch
Chinese services are accessible to everyone.
Kleam Hospital provides Chinese translation services. From registration at the front desk, through consultations with doctors, to explanations regarding post-operative precautions, Chinese-speaking staff will accompany patients throughout the entire process, making it easy even for those with limited Korean language skills to navigate the process smoothly.
Hospital-grade medical treatment environment
The clinic is located on the 3rd floor of the Lotte L7 Hotel, and its surroundings are simply of hotel standard. There are approximately 4 to 5 treatment rooms, arranged in a single floor with clear pathways. The interior design of the clinic features a simple and modern style, with private treatment rooms and post-treatment rest areas, placing great emphasis on privacy protection.

V. Conclusion: Who is the Hongdae branch of Kleam Hospital suitable for?
If you fall into any of the following categories, the Hongdae branch of Kleam Hospital is definitely worth adding to your shortlist:
✅ For beginners going to Korea for the first time to undergo skin care treatments, a 1v1 in-depth consultation is ess
ential. ✅ Those who dislike waiting in lines and prefer a quiet and comfortable treatment experience.
✅ Mainly interested in minor cosmetic procedures such as hyaluronic acid treatments, acne management, and Pores care.
✅ Living near Hongdae, looking for a clinic with convenient transportation. ✅ Seeking
treatments at similar prices in China and Korea to avoid any discrimination.
If you need to undergo 2-3 combined treatments at once (such as glow therapy + injections + laser treatment), the head office in Myeongdong boasts more advanced equipment and treatment rooms, resulting in more efficient scheduling. This is also a factor you should take into consideration. Regardless of which clinic you choose, it is recommended to make an appointment in advance through the BeautsGO platform to ensure that a Chinese-speaking consultant will accompany you throughout the process, making your skin care experience in Korea both worry-free and efficient!
