By 變美體驗官 Seongsu-dong is no longer just home to cafes and boutiques. These days, even local South Korean girls specifically come to this area for dermatological treatments – because the clinics here are quieter than those in Gangnam, more professional than those in Myeongdong, and often offer more affordable prices. In this article, I have compiled information about 4 Dermatology clinics in Seongsu-dong that I have actually checked on BeautsGO, including details about their Chinese-speaking staff or transparent service offerings. I have also included a comparison table to help you easily understand the prices, reservation processes, and target customer groups for each clinic.

I. Why choose Dermatology at Seongsu?
Key point: Seongsu-dong serves as a viable alternative to Gangnam, with a higher proportion of local customers and more transparent prices.
In the past, when people came to Seoul for cosmetic procedures, they only thought of Gangnam. But now, Seongsu-dong has become a secret destination for young women in South Korea. Unlike some clinics in Gangnam that are crowded with tourists, the waiting areas here are mostly filled with local customers, and the pace of the treatments is also relatively more relaxed.
Another advantage of Seongsu-dong is the convenience of shopping. Nearby the clinic, there are places like Cafe Onion, the SM Entertainment Building, and various shopping stores – so you can enjoy a cup of coffee after your skin treatment. However, I would like to remind you that if you have just undergone a treatment that may cause your skin to turn red, it is advisable to return to your hotel to rest instead of heading straight to a crowded café.
In terms of transportation, Seongsu-dong is easily accessible via Subway Line 2, with stations such as “Seongsu Station” or “Dokdo Station” providing convenient access. Most clinics are within a 5-10-minute walk of these stations, making it relatively easy for those unfamiliar with Seoul to get around.

Reservation recommendations: It is advisable to book your appointment at BeautsGO at least 1-2 weeks in advance and indicate that you require Chinese-speaking service.

IV. FAQ on Common Issues at Dermatology Department of Seongsu洞
Question: Is the price at Seongsu Dermatology cheaper than that at Gangnam R
ejuran?
Overall, the prices are 20-40% lower, but for popular treatments such as Thermage and Rejuran, the difference is not significant. The main differences lie in the level of consultation pressure and the proportion of local patients.
Question: Can I go there if I don’t
know Korean?
Yes. Both Serene and Newlline offer Chinese-speaking services, while Melting and IRIS also provide Chinese assistance through BeautsGO. It is recommended to indicate this when making a reservation, rather than asking for it at the store on the spot.
Question: How much in advance should I make a res
ervation?
On weekdays during the afternoon, it is recommended to reserve 1 week in advance; on weekends or around holidays, it is advisable to book at least 2 weeks in advance. For popular clinics like Serene, the waiting time may be even longer.
Question: Can I go shopping right after the treatment?
For treatments
like Hyaluronic Acid injection and water light therapy, it’s okay; however, procedures such as Pico treatment, Potenza, Thermage, or Seongsu may cause redness, so it’s recommended to return to the hotel and rest first. Although there are many cafes in Seongsu-dong, it doesn’t look good to take photos with a red face.
Question: Does the Seongsu Cave Clinic only serve foreign c
ustomers? Among iris, the proportion of local customers is the highest; at Serene and Melting, there are also many South Koreans. Due to its excellent cost-performance ratio, Newlline attracts both local residents and tourists.
The strength of Dermatology in Seongsu-dong does not lie in any one particular aspect, but rather in the overall atmosphere of the entire area: it is more relaxed than Gangnam, more professional than Myeongdong, and offers more transparent pricing. Serene is suitable for those who value high-quality service; Melting is ideal for those who prefer laser treatments; Newline is perfect for those on a budget; IRIS is designed for those with problematic skin.
If you only have one day, it is recommended that you focus on 1-2 clinics for in-depth consultations instead of visiting too many. First, use BeautsGO to confirm the schedule and arrange for a Chinese-speaking staff member to assist you. When you arrive at the clinic, bring a list of your questions so that your visit to Seongsu-dong will be worthwhile.
