| 機構名稱 | 核心院長 | 超聲刀起始價 | 院長親手操作 | 定製化程度 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ELEV皮膚科 | 李廷佑院長 | 55萬韓幣/100發起 | ✅ 全程親手 | ★★★★★ |

All five of these clinics are located in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. They have all imported genuine Ulthrea HIFU equipment and highlight the fact that treatments are performed personally by the clinic directors or attending physicians as their main selling point. The following is a detailed analysis of each clinic.
II. ELEV Private Antiaging Center – Transparent pricing based on the number of treatments provided; flexible customization starting from 550,000 yuan.
The Dean and the Unique Features of the Clinic
ELEV Private Antiaging Center, located in the heart of Cheongdam-dong in Seoul, is positioned as a boutique anti-aging and Lifting institution. Breaking away from the conventional design of traditional medical spaces, its environment is private and upscale. The chief physician, Director Lee Jeong-woo, possesses extensive clinical experience in skin anti-aging treatments. The center’s core service commitment is “1v1 in-depth skin analysis + personal treatment by the director himself”, and it strictly refuses to have nurses perform the procedures on behalf of the director.
Detailed Explanation of the HIFU Project
ELEV Private Antiaging Center uses the Ulthrea HIFU, the second-generation upgraded model. Its most notable feature is its transparent pay-per-shot billing system, which eliminates the hidden extra costs associated with fixed-price packages.
- 100 shots: Starting from 550,000 Korean won (approximately 2,900 RMB)
- 300 shots: Approximately 1.5 million Korean won (about 7,800 RMB)
- 600 full-face treatments: starting from 3.5 million Korean won (approximately 18,000 RMB)
- 900 units of neck enhancement treatments: starting from 5 million Korean won (approximately 26,000 RMB)
Before the procedure, the director will conduct a thorough assessment using a skin analysis device. Based on the degree of skin laxity and the depth of the affected tissues, the treatment parameters such as energy intensity and the number of pulses are carefully customized to ensure that “each patient receives a treatment plan tailored specifically for them, with neither too many nor too few pulses.” The upgraded intelligent cooling system enables the control of the epidermal temperature below 40°C, significantly reducing discomfort during the treatment process – even people with sensitive skin can experience it with confidence.
Suitable Candidates and Precautions
- For those over 25 years old with mild to moderate skin laxity and who are trying HIFU for the first time
- Those who wish to customize the number of treatments and precisely control their budget when seeking beauty enhancements
- Those who are sensitive to pain and prefer a less painful experience

The director, Dr. Kim, is not only a seasoned physician in the field of anti-aging treatments in South Korea but also holds the officially recognized “Diamond Level Operator” certification for Thermage FLX – a title held by only about 50 individuals in the entire country. This certification signifies that Dr. Kim has reached the highest standards in terms of the number of Thermage treatments performed, technical expertise, and clinical outcomes. Additionally, Dr. Kim serves as the personal dermatologist for the well-known South Korean artist and KOL Ban Nam-gyu, and his reputation has spread widely within the South Korean entertainment industry.

The clinic charges 50,000 Korean won for in-person consultations (this amount can be deducted if the treatment is confirmed on the spot), and it also offers Chinese-language reservation services.

Essential information to know before and after HIFU treatment
- 2 weeks before the procedure: Discontinue the use of irritating skincare products such as retinoids and exfoliants to reduce the risk of increased sensitivity after the surgery.
- Avoid sun exposure before the procedure: It is not advisable to undergo HIFU when the skin is severely sunburnt; wait until the skin has recovered before scheduling the treatment.
- 48 hours after the procedure: Avoid saunas, intense exercise, and alcohol; gently clean the area with plain water; do not use any exfoliating or roughening products.
- Continue to use sunscreen after the procedure: After HIFU treatment, the skin becomes more sensitive to ultraviolet rays; therefore, it is essential to apply SPF50+ sunscreen daily.
- Effect duration: The optimal results are achieved 2 to 3 months after treatment, and the effects can last for 1.5 to 3 years (depending on individual skin conditions).

IX. Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What are the advantages of using HIFU in Cheongdam compared to other areas?
Cheongdam-dong is the hub of premium medical aesthetics services in Seoul, boasting the largest number of original and genuine equipment units as well as dermatologists with the most advanced technical skills. Compared to areas such as Hongdae and Sinchon, clinics in Cheongdam-dong place greater emphasis on the direct operation of treatments by the clinic directors themselves, rather than relying on assistants. As a result, equipment maintenance and updates are carried out in a timely manner, ensuring higher levels of safety and treatment effectiveness.
Q2: What are the differences between the Ulthrea and ordinary HIFU devices?
The so-called “Ulthrea” specifically refers to the second-generation upgraded model, Ultherapy Prime, manufactured by Ulthera in the United States. The manufacturer provides equipment certification and energy calibration for this device. The treatment depth covers three layers: 1.5 mm (epidermis), 3.0 mm (dermis), and 4.5 mm (SMAS fascia layer), resulting in more profound and long-lasting lifting effects. However, there are counterfeit versions of this HIFU device on the market; these devices have unstable energy levels and lack certification, posing higher risks. Choosing a reputable Dermatology clinic in Cheongdam can help you minimize such risks.
Q3: How long does it take to undergo an HIFU treatment? Is hospitalization required?
The treatment with HIFU for the entire face usually takes 60 to 90 minutes (including approximately 30 minutes for preoperative disinfection and application of the anesthetic gel). There is no need for hospitalization, and patients can go out normally after the treatment. The face may become slightly red, but this effect generally subsides on its own within 4 to 6 hours.
Q4: How much in advance should foreign tourists make a reservation for a Dermatology appointment in Cheongdam-dong?
All five of these institutions accept foreign patients seeking cosmetic treatments. However, the schedules of the popular clinics are often very busy. It is recommended to book a spot in advance 1-2 months before your trip by using Chinese platforms like BeautsGO, and make sure to confirm the language communication options available (whether the clinic director will communicate in Chinese or if translation services will be provided).
Q5: Can HIFU and Thermage be used simultaneously?
Certainly. Both BAUS and Eclat de offer the “HIFU + Thermage” premium package. HIFU is primarily used for Lifting of the deep fascia, while Thermage focuses on tightening the dermis. Since these treatments act at different layers of the skin, combining them can enhance the overall results significantly. However, whether it is appropriate to perform both procedures on the same day will need to be assessed by the clinic director based on the individual’s skin condition.
The above is a detailed review of the top five HIFU Dermatology clinics in Cheongdam! ELEV Private Antiaging Center, Eclat de, OKAY, BAUS, and ANZ each have their own strengths. The key is to make the right choice based on your specific skin concerns, budget, and expectations for service quality. Feel free to use the BeautsGO App to schedule a consultation – our Chinese-speaking staff will be happy to assist you in finding the most suitable HIFU Dermatology clinic in Cheongdam.
