“How should I plan my budget for dermatology treatments in South Korea in 2026?” This is a question that has been asked frequently through private messages recently. Especially when it comes to Dermatology clinics in Gangnam, prices range from tens of thousands to several million South Korean won, and the information available is often unclear. There are also different pricing standards in South Korea and China, so it’s easy to fall into pitfalls if you’re not careful. That’s why I spent two weeks compiling the latest price list for 2026 at Yeonsu Slim Dermatology Clinic (Lizon with Yonsei Slim Line Clinic) in Apgujeong, Gangnam. The list covers everything from basic skin cleansing to Pico laser treatments, from Titanium Lifting to the American version of ultrasonic lifting – each service is listed in both South Korean won and Chinese yuan, so you can calculate your budget accurately before you travel. This clinic, headed by Director Park Geon-chae who graduated from the School of Medicine at Yonsei University, boasts three key advantages: direct consultations by the director, consistent prices in both South Korea and China, and authentic medical equipment. As a result, it has a very good reputation in the Gangnam dermatology community. Below is a comprehensive price guide covering 9 major categories and over 30 detailed services. I recommend saving this image directly👇
I. Price list for Slim Dermatology in Yeonsu, South Korea: Basic care services (cleansing/hydrating/toning)
1. Basic cleansing + moisturization treatment (Aqua Peel / Microbubble therapy): The cost per session ranges from ₩50,000 to ₩80,000 South Korea won (approximately ¥270 to ¥430 in RMB). This treatment is ideal for daily skin maintenance and as a quick fix before applying makeup. The entire process takes about 40 minutes and includes deep cleansing, essence penetration, and LED light therapy for relaxation. South Koreans often consider this treatment a “monthly essential skincare routine,” undergoing it 1-2 times a month to maintain the stability of their skin.
2. Fruit acid skin treatment / Hyaluronic acid skin treatment: The cost for a single session is ₩80,000–120,000 Korean won (approximately ¥430–650 RMB). For issues such as acne, enlarged Pores, and dull skin tone, Director Park uses a step-by-step approach to adjust the concentration of the acid solution – first conducting a skin tolerance test, and then selecting the appropriate acid concentration and treatment duration based on the patient’s skin type. After the treatment, LED calming light therapy is applied. The recovery period is approximately 2–3 days (mild peeling is a normal part of the healing process).
3. Basic Hyaluronic Acid Injection / Rejuran Hyaluronic Acid Treatment:
– Basic Hyaluronic Acid Injection: ₩150,000–250,000 South Korean won (approximately ¥810–1,350 RMB), containing Filler and basic nutritional essence;
– Rejuran Hyaluronic Acid Treatment: ₩300,000–500,000 South Korean won (approximately ¥1,620–2,700 RMB), using authentic Rejuran products manufactured in South Korea. This treatment focuses on deep hydration and skin restructuring, making it ideal for dry, dehydrated skin with visible fine lines. Dr. Park uses manual injection instead of mechanical devices, ensuring greater precision and more even distribution of the treatment solution.
II. Price list for Slim Dermatology at Yonsei University in South Korea: Pigment treatment options (Pico laser/hydrogen peroxide laser for freckle removal)
1. Pico laser for targeted freckle reduction (Picoway/Honeycomb Pico): The cost per treatment is ₩150,000–200,000 Korean won (approximately ¥810–1,080 RMB). This is where the phrase “Pico laser treatment for 150,000 Korean won” in the title comes from. This treatment is designed for localized freckles, sunspots, and superficial pigmentation. It uses the original Picoway Pico laser device imported from the United States, which operates at dual wavelengths of 755nm and 532nm. After just one treatment, a noticeable reduction in the size of these spots can be seen. Generally, 3–5 treatments are required, with an interval of 4 weeks between each session, to achieve the desired results.
2. Pico laser full-face whitening treatment: The cost per session is ₩250,000–350,000 Korean won (approximately ¥1,350–1,890 RMB). This treatment involves a full-face scan, covering a larger area and simultaneously addressing issues such as uneven skin tone, brightening the overall complexion, and Pore tightening. After the treatment, the skin may appear slightly red for about 4–6 hours, but makeup can be applied normally the next day. Among similar clinics in Gangnam District, this price offers a relatively good value for money – it is approximately 20–30% cheaper than larger chain clinics, yet the equipment used is of the same high quality.
3. Honeycomb Pico Deep Treatment Mode (for acne scars/depthened freckles): The cost per session is ₩400,000–600,000 Korean won (approximately ¥2,160–3,240 RMB). This mode utilizes a honeycomb lens focusing system to allow deeper penetration of energy, making it particularly effective for stubborn acne scars, deep-seated chloasma, and age-related pigmentation. However, the recovery period is relatively longer (mild crusting may occur within 5–7 days), but the results are usually the most noticeable. Director Park recommends undergoing a VISIA skin analysis first to determine the exact depth of the pigmentation before choosing this treatment mode, thus avoiding spending a lot of money on an inappropriate procedure.

III. Price list for Dermatology at Yeonsu Slim in South Korea: Anti-aging and Lifting treatments (Titanium Lifting / American-style ultrasound)
1. Titanium Lifting Basic Facial Treatment (40KJ): The cost per session is ₩400,000–500,000 South Korean won (approximately ¥2,160–2,700 RMB). This is what is referred to in the title as “Titanium Lifting for 500,000 South Korean won”. Titanium Lifting has become a popular treatment in South Korea’s aesthetic medicine industry in recent years. It uses laser energy of a specific wavelength to heat the dermis, stimulating the regeneration of Collagen and achieving both tightening and glow-enhancing effects. The greatest advantages of this treatment are its absence of scars and recovery time; patients can apply makeup immediately after the procedure, making it particularly suitable for those who are afraid of pain or the recovery period. The 40KJ dosage is ideal for people aged 25–35 who wish to prevent premature aging and achieve mild skin tightening and glow enhancement.
2. Titanium Lifting Full-Face Treatment, 100KJ: The cost per session ranges from ₩800,000 to ₩1,000,000 Korean won (approximately ¥4,320 to ¥5,400). This treatment is suitable for individuals over 35 years old who experience noticeable skin laxity. With doubled energy levels, the collagen regeneration effect is even more significant. Director Park recommends that those under 35 years old start with the 40KJ version. After undergoing 2-3 basic sessions, they can then determine whether to upgrade to the higher-energy option, thereby avoiding unnecessary skin strain due to “excessive treatment.”
3. US-version Ultherapy with 300 treatments: The cost per session ranges from ₩1,500,000 to ₩1,800,000 Korean won (approximately ¥8,100 to ¥9,720 in RMB). This is what is referred to in the title as “US-version Ultherapy costing 1.5 million Korean won”. The US-version Ultherapy is the only non-invasive lifting device globally approved by the FDA. Its energy reaches directly the SMAS fascia layer – the same depth that is only accessible through surgical facelifts – and the effects can last for 1 to 2 years. The 300-treatment package is suitable for lifting the middle and lower parts of the face, helping to reduce Nasolabial Fold Correction, Marionette Line Correction, and blurred jawlines. Director Park emphasizes that it is essential to choose the “original US-version Ultherapy”; many low-priced “Korean-version Ultherapies” on the market may have similar names, but there are significant differences in the depth of the treatment and the duration of its effects.
IV. Price list for Slim Dermatology at Yonsei University in South Korea: Anti-aging equipment (Thermage / Fotona / South Korean version of ultrasound)
1. Thermage FLX 5th Generation Full-Face Treatment with 600 Treatments: The cost per session ranges from ₩1,500,000 to ₩2,000,000 Korean won (approximately ¥8,100 to ¥10,800 in RMB). Thermage FLX represents the pinnacle of radiofrequency skin tightening technology. With 600 treatments covering the entire face and jawline, this procedure uses radiofrequency energy to heat the collagen in the dermis, achieving both immediate firming effects and long-term collagen regeneration. Yeosu Slim uses genuine Thermage FLX devices manufactured by Solta Medical in the United States. All probes are disposable and must be used within two hours after opening; reusing probes is strictly prohibited (this is a key indicator to identify legitimate clinics). The results last for 1 to 2 years.
2. Thermage FLX Eyelift with 225 treatment sessions: The cost per session ranges from ₩1,000,000 to ₩1,300,000 Korean won (approximately ¥5,400 to ¥7,020 in RMB). This treatment is specifically designed for issues such as loose skin around the eyes, drooping upper eyelids, and puffy bags under the eyes. It uses a specialized eyelift probe with a surface area of 0.25 cm², allowing the energy to be precisely targeted at the thin skin around the eyes. Director Park is particularly skilled in performing treatments around the eyes. During his tenure as an exchange professor at the University of Tennessee in the United States, he systematically studied the differences in the anatomical structures of Asian eyes and developed customized treatment protocols. As a result, he is able to adjust the energy parameters and the number of treatment sessions according to the individual characteristics of each patient’s eye shape.
3. Fotona 4D Fotona 4D Full Face Treatment: The cost per session ranges from ₩500,000 to 800,000 Korean won (approximately ¥2,700 to ¥4,320 in RMB). Fotona 4D utilizes dual-wavelength lasers (Er:YAG 2940nm + Nd:YAG 1064nm) to deliver treatment through both the oral mucosa and the skin surface. Four different modes are used in sequence: the Smooth mode helps tighten the areas around the mouth, the FRAC3 mode reduces pigmentation, the Piano mode provides deep heating, and the SupErficial mode rejuvenates the epidermis. This treatment is ideal for those looking to achieve comprehensive anti-aging effects and improve the quality of their skin, as it addresses three major issues simultaneously: sagging, pigmentation, and Pores.
V. Dermatology Department of Yeonsu Hospital in South Korea: Analysis of Price Competitiveness (with Comparison of Prices in South Korea and China)
1. Comparison with similar services in China: Taking Pico laser facial treatment as an example, the cost at Yeonsu Slim is approximately 250,000–350,000 South Korean won (about ¥1,350–1,890), while in first-tier Chinese cities, the regular price for similar treatments ranges from ¥2,500 to ¥5,000 – meaning the cost in South Korea is roughly 50%–70% of that in China. The American-made ultrasonic lifting device with 300 treatments costs 1.5 million–1.8 million South Korean won at Yeonsu Slim (about ¥8,100–9,720), while the same device in China is priced around ¥12,000–18,000 – which is approximately 30%–40% cheaper. When considering the additional costs of airfare and accommodation, undergoing two or more treatments can generally help cover the initial investment.
2. Comparison with other clinics in the same business district as Gangnam: The Apgujeong and Cheongdam areas of Gangnam are considered the heart of South Korea’s medical aesthetics industry. Among clinics of similar quality, Yonsei Slim adopts a pricing strategy that falls into the “mid-to-high-end, mid-range price” category—about 15-25% lower than that of larger chain clinics (such as SWOMAN and Oracle), and comparable to the prices charged by independent physician clinics (like Pind and RiRe). However, President Park’s academic background (professor at Yonsei University + visiting professor at the University of Tennessee) is a rare advantage among clinics in the same price range.
3. Explanation of the same-price policy for South Korea and China: For overseas customers who book through the BeautsGO platform, Yonsei Slim applies the same-price policy as that for local South Koreans – you will be charged at the same rates regardless of your nationality. However, it should be noted that prices may vary depending on seasonal promotions and package options. It is recommended to confirm the latest prices with BeautsGO before your trip. Additionally, for certain services, you are eligible to apply for tax refunds at the airport (provided that the purchase amount exceeds KRW 30,000, that you keep all relevant receipts, and that you complete the refund procedures at the airport upon departure), which can save you an additional 7–10%.
VI. Yonsei Slim Dermatology in South Korea: The qualifications of the director and the equipment available – Why is this price worth it?
1. Academic and clinical background of Director Park Geon-chae: Park Geon-chae graduated from the School of Medicine at Yonsei University, one of South Korea’s top prestigious institutions, where the medical school consistently ranks among the top three in the country. She has served as a professor and visiting professor at Yonsei University and as an exchange professor at the University of Tennessee in the United States. She also holds professional qualifications such as full member of the Korean Society of Obesity and Plastic Surgery and regular member of the Korean Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Such a doctor with both academic and clinical expertise is quite rare among the independent clinics in Gangnam – most clinic directors possess only clinical experience and lack systematic teaching and research backgrounds.
2. Instrument Configuration: Genuine original equipment – no games with terminology. The core instruments used in the Yeonsi Slim clinic are all genuine original products: Picoway Pico for ultra-short Pico treatments (originally produced by Candela in the United States), the American version of Ultherapy for ultrasonic lifting (originally produced by Merz in Germany), Thermage FLX (originally produced by Solta Medical in the United States), and Fotona 4D Fotona (originally produced by Fotona in Germany). The clinic director insists on using “only one instrument for one specific treatment” and would never use counterfeit equipment to pretend it is genuine. All probes and consumables are designed for single-use only and must be used immediately after opening – this is a relatively strict standard among independent clinics in the Gangnam area.
3. Treatment Style: The director personally performs all treatments, without any “assistant rotation.” Dr. Park’s treatment style can be summarized in three words: “patience, restraint, and meticulousness.” Consultation sessions usually last more than 15–20 minutes (while many clinics in Gangnam only offer 5-minute consultations), during which the doctor carefully analyzes the patient’s skin data using the VISIA testing system, without rushing the patient into making a decision. Both injection and laser procedures are always performed by the director himself, ensuring that the same person is responsible for both the consultation and the actual treatment. Dr. Park adheres to the principle of “less is more” and avoids recommending unnecessary treatments, which is quite rare in the South Korea cosmetic industry.
VII. Slim Dermatology in Yeonsu, South Korea: Clinic Environment and Consultation Process
1. Geographical Location and Transportation Convenience: Yonsei Slim is located on the 4th floor of the Clinic Nine building at 853 Nonhyeon-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. It is only about a 5-minute walk from Exit 3 of the Apgujeong station on the Seoul Metro Line 3. The area surrounding it is the core district for medical aesthetics in Gangnam, and directly across the street is the famous Apgujeong Rodéo Street – after your treatment, you can easily visit luxury boutiques and cafes. The building has an underground parking lot, but parking fees in Gangnam-gu are relatively high, so using the subway is recommended.
2. Interior environment of the clinic: The clinic is located on the 4th floor of the Clinic Nine building, with direct access via elevator. The interior design adopts a modern, minimalist style with warm colors – off-white walls paired with wooden floors. The waiting area is equipped with comfortable sofas, South Korean herbal teas, and the latest magazines. The treatment rooms are independently separated to ensure privacy, and each room is equipped with its own air conditioning and air purification system. The overall atmosphere exudes a professional medical feel rather than an overly luxurious, internet-famous style, giving people the impression of “coming to see a professional Dermatology doctor” rather than “going for an SPA massage”.
3. Standard consultation process: ① Check-in at the front desk upon arrival → ② Fill out a skin condition questionnaire (available in Chinese) → ③ VISIA skin analysis (about 10 minutes) → ④ One-on-one consultation with the director (15–20 minutes: review of analysis reports + discussion of treatment options) → ⑤ Confirmation of treatment items and prices (signing the quotation form) → ⑥ Treatment procedure performed by the director personally → ⑦ Post-treatment care guidance + collection of post-treatment care packages → ⑧ Appointment for follow-up visit. The entire process takes approximately 1.5–2 hours (varying depending on the complexity of the treatment). The clinic provides Chinese translation services (by appointment in advance); there is no need to worry if you don’t speak Korean.

VIII. Price list for Slim Dermatology at Yonsei University in South Korea: FAQ and common questions
Q1: Does the Pico laser treatment costing 150,000 Korean won cover the entire face or just certain areas? Is one session enough?
A: 150,000 Korean won is the starting price for treating localized freckles (such as those on the cheeks), while the full-face whitening treatment costs 250,000 to 350,000 Korean won. Pigment removal generally requires 3 to 5 treatments to achieve desired results – after the first session, the freckles will appear lighter, but complete elimination requires multiple treatments. During the initial consultation, Dr. Park will use the VISIA device to measure the depth of the pigmentation and then develop a personalized treatment plan to ensure that you don’t end up with minimal results after just one session.
Q2: What is the difference between Titanium Lifting and the American version of ultrasonic lifting? Which one should I choose?
A: Simply put, the Titanium Lifting procedure targets the “skin,” while the American version of ultrasound treatment focuses on the “flesh.” Titanium Lifting acts on the dermis layer (at a depth of approximately 1-3 mm) and primarily aims to improve skin quality and provide mild tightening effects; it is suitable for people aged 25-35 without significant signs of skin laxity as a preventive anti-aging treatment. The American version of ultrasound treatment, on the other hand, reaches the SMAS fascia layer (at a depth of about 4.5 mm) and is designed for deeper lifting effects, making it ideal for individuals over 35 years old who have noticeable Nasolabial Fold Correction, Marionette Line Correction, or jawline wrinkles. Dr. Park usually recommends that younger individuals start with Titanium Lifting, while older patients can opt for the American version of ultrasound treatment directly; alternatively, both procedures can be combined at intervals of 1-2 months.
Q3: Is it really true that the prices are the same in China and South Korea? Will there be any additional charges at the location?
A: Reservations made through the BeautsGO platform indeed adhere to the policy of equal prices in both China and South Korea – the prices you see are exactly the same as those charged to South Koreans. However, please note the following: ① The promotional packages offered may differ from those available on-site (it is normal for seasonal promotions to result in price fluctuations); ② If you request to add additional services or upgrade your treatment plan upon arrival (for example, upgrading from 40KJ to 100KJ), you will need to pay the difference. This is not considered an additional charge, but rather a change to your original treatment plan; ③ It is recommended that you take a screenshot of the quote displayed on BeautsGO before traveling, so that you can easily verify the details on-site.
Q4: What if I don’t know Korean? Is there a Chinese translation available?
A: Yonsei Slim provides Chinese translation services, but reservations must be made in advance (you can leave a note through BeautsGO). A translator will be present throughout the entire process – from filling out the questionnaire and during the consultation to explaining post-operative precautions. Moreover, Director Park has experience working in the United States, so even simple English communication is not a problem. Most clinics in Gangnam District offer Chinese services, and Yonsei Slim is quite standardized in this regard.
Q5: What should I do if problems arise after returning home from the treatment? Is there any after-sales support available?
A: Yonsei Slim offers online follow-up services after the procedure. After the treatment, you can add the clinic’s KakaoTalk or WeChat account. If you experience any discomfort or have questions after returning home, you can simply send photos to the clinic for consultation. For reactions that are within the normal recovery period (such as mild redness or peeling), online guidance on proper care will be provided; in case of any unusual issues, the clinic will offer specific recommendations for handling them. This is also one of the reasons why it is recommended to make appointments through BeautsGO – the platform can assist with communication and follow-up.
Q6: How many cosmetic procedures are appropriate to undergo in South Korea at one time? How should the itinerary be arranged?
A: It is recommended to undergo 2–3 treatments during the 3–5-day stay. On the first day, arrive at the destination, have a consultation, and receive treatments that do not require any recovery time (such as Titanium Lifting or basic hyaluronic acid treatments). On the second day, proceed with treatments that require short recovery periods (such as Pico laser treatments). On the third and fourth days, take some rest, go shopping, or allow any minor swelling to subside. Return home on the fifth day. If you are scheduled for more intensive treatments (such as deep honeycomb Pico laser), it is advisable to schedule them on the day before your departure, so that most of the recovery time will have already passed by the time you return home. Director Park will help arrange the treatment sequence based on your travel schedule to ensure that you make the most of your time in Korea.
IX. Yonsei Slim Dermatology in South Korea: Summary and Appointment Recommendations
Overall, in Gangnam, Yeonsui Slim Dermatology offers “mid-to-high-end services at moderate prices” – its equipment and the qualifications of its director are top-notch, yet the pricing is more affordable compared to large chain brands. The three flagship services – Pico laser treatment starting from 915,000 won, Titanium Lifting starting from 950,000 won, and American-style ultrasound treatment starting from 9.15 million won – have price advantages of 30-50% when compared to similar services in China.
