Last month, two of my friends went to South Korea one after another. When one of them came back, their skin was glowing; the other said, “It’s okay, not as amazing as the rumors claim.” Driven by curiosity, I decided to give it a try myself, and that’s exactly what I want to share with you today: South Korea’s Reberry Dermatology. 🫣
Reberry has enjoyed a good reputation in South Korea. It focuses on “layered combined treatment” rather than following a standardized process. This article provides detailed information about the costs, results, and actual experiences of patients. Girls who are considering this treatment should read it first before deciding whether to make an appointment.
What exactly is Reberry’s background and strength? Let’s clarify it all at once.
This Dermatology clinic, which was established in Incheon, currently has two branches: one in Myeongdong, Seoul, and the other at its main campus in Incheon. It adopts a “layered combined treatment” approach—not the kind of one-size-fits-all, assembly-line model—but rather a scientific combination of anti-aging, repair, and regeneration treatments tailored to each individual’s skin condition.
In terms of the medical team, Director Cheng Zhouyan specializes in the reconstruction of acne scars and laser-based combined treatments; Director Hong Shiyuan focuses on anti-aging procedures such as Thermage and ultrasonic lifting; while Director Bai Chengzhai is responsible for collagen regeneration injections using products like Rejuran and Juvelook. Each of these three directors has their own area of expertise, and the practice does not follow the “general practitioner” model where one doctor handles everything.
Transportation and environment in Myeongdong’s Reberry area: With direct subway access, how about privacy?
Let’s start with transportation. The Reberry Myeongdong store is located just outside Exit 6 of Myeongdong Station on Line 4 of the subway. It takes about 5 minutes to walk there. The exact address is 58, Myeongdong 10-gil, Jung, Seoul, on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Arnuvo Centum Building. It’s very easy to find; you won’t have to spend 20 minutes wandering around the subway station in search of it.️
In terms of facilities, the Incheon headquarters has approximately 20 private treatment rooms, which provide good privacy and are ideal for women who prefer not to be seen by other customers in public areas. The Myeongdong branch, located in the heart of the shopping district, has a higher proportion of tourists, but its private treatment rooms are also designed with great care. The overall decoration features a delicate Japanese-style cream-colored wood theme, which looks very attractive when photographed.
Are the project prices transparent and clear? Let’s take a look at the actual costs of Thermage and Rejuran.
When it comes to the cost, which is of great concern to everyone, Reberry adopts an open pricing model. Unlike some clinics where you have to call to inquire about the prices, I personally find this very convenient. The following are the price ranges compiled from official information; however, the final amount will still depend on the specific consultation plan.
**Anti-aging and Lifting Products:**
- Thermage (full face): Approximately ₩2 million to ₩3 million Korean won
- Thermage (for the eye area): Approximately ₩800,000 to ₩1.5 million Korean won
- Ultrasound lifting: Approximately 1 to 2.5 million Korean won
- Ultrasonic lifting treatment with 100 sessions plus Potenza (for first-time customers): starting from ₩280,000 Korean won
**Products for repairing acne scars and Pores:**
- Laser resurfacing: 9.3 million to 800,000 Korean won per session
- Potenza: 930,000 to 700,000 Korean won per treatment
- Combined treatment for acne scar reconstruction: 9.5 million to 1.5 million Korean won per session
**Collagen regeneration injections:**✨
- Rejuran: 940,000 to 800,000 Korean won per treatment
- Juvelook: 5 million to 1 million Korean won per treatment
- Filler injection: 930,000 to 1.2 million Korean won per syringe
To be honest, compared with Taiwan, South Korea offers a better cost-performance ratio for Rejuran treatments. In Taiwan, the price for Rejuran treatments starts around 800,000 Korean won, while in South Korea, the same treatment may cost only about half of that amount. This is probably why so many people travel specifically to South Korea for such procedures.
What are the differences between this system and the traditional assembly-line-style medical consultations? Is the concept of personal consultations really effective?
“Is the Dermatology department at Reberry South Korea just a mass-production system?” This is probably the biggest concern for anyone considering seeking medical beauty treatments in South Korea. When I visited, I paid close attention to this aspect, and here’s the truth: At Reberry, the director has a fixed appointment system. This means that whatever director you schedule with, it will be that director who personally conducts the consultation and treatment – there is no such thing as “using Doctor A’s name while another person actually performs the procedure.”
Director Hong Siyuan is particularly renowned for his Lifting treatments. He will recommend either ultrasound lifting or Thermage depending on the degree of skin laxity in your area, rather than recommending both options simultaneously to prevent you from spending unnecessary money. When Director Baek Seung-jae performs Rejuran injections, he adjusts the injection technique according to the specific area being treated (Forehead, cheeks, chin). I have personally witnessed these differences in his approach; it’s certainly not a one-size-fits-all, assembly-line procedure.
Of course, whether a treatment can be completed on a streamlined basis also depends on an individual’s expectations. If you expect to “see immediate results after just 30 minutes”, then almost any legitimate clinic will find it difficult to meet such requirements. Reberry’s approach tends to focus on “gradual, step-by-step improvement”, making it more suitable for those who are patient and willing to accept phased results.
Real experiences with Rejuran injections: How much pain is involved, and how long does the effect last?
This time, I chose to use Rejuran and opted for the basic glow treatment without combining it with any other procedures. The following are purely my personal experiences and are provided for your reference only:
**Pain during the procedure:** Before the treatment, the nurse will apply an anesthetic for about 20 minutes. During the actual injection, areas with bony prominences such as the Forehead and nose bridge will feel more sensations, with a noticeable stinging pain, but it’s not severe enough to cause “tears to flow.” Soft tissue areas like the cheeks, on the other hand, experience relatively little pain, similar to the discomfort associated with regular Pico treatments. The entire process takes approximately 15–20 minutes.
**Immediately after the procedure:** After the treatment, there will be some small bumps on the skin (these are caused by the accumulation of Rejuran’s unique nutrients, resulting in slight protrusions). These bumps begin to subside around 2 to 4 hours later. The face may also show mild redness, but it is not very noticeable. After applying a calming mask, you can go out shopping just like normal – I think this is particularly convenient for tourists.
**Effect Maintenance:** Lijuzhui does not provide immediate “hydrating” results; the actual effects begin to appear gradually starting from the 3rd day. Approximately on the 5th day after I started using it, I noticed a noticeable improvement in the glow and moisture of my skin, and my makeup also felt much better adhered to my face. It is recommended to complete 3 treatments as a course, with intervals of about 4-6 weeks, for the most stable results. ⏰
Suitable and Unsuitable Groups: Not everyone is suitable for this treatment.
While highlighting the positive aspects, it’s also important to discuss the situations where it may not be suitable, so that everyone can avoid following trends blindly.
**People who are suitable for visiting Reberry:**
- Girls with mild to moderate anti-aging needs who desire a natural and youthful appearance
- Those who have been troubled by acne scars and Pores issues for many years and are willing to undergo systematic treatment
- Consumers who value transparent pricing and avoid unnecessary additional fees
- Tourists who prefer Chinese-language services and want to avoid any language barriers
- Those who have a budget plan and wish to schedule some cosmetic procedures during their trip to Korea
**People who are not suitable or should consider this option with caution:**️
- For those who hope that a single treatment can solve all their problems – it should be noted that most Rejuran treatments and anti-aging procedures require multiple sessions.
- Those who prefer exaggerated looks and a trendy, internet-famous style — the Reberry style offers a more natural and gradual transformation.
- Pregnant women, those in the lactation period, or those with a constitution prone to edema – it is recommended to consult the director of the clinic before making a decision.
- People who are extremely sensitive to pain and cannot tolerate any recovery period at all
Postoperative care tips: Improper care can significantly reduce the effectiveness of the treatment!
After undergoing Rejuran treatment or any anti-aging procedure, the following care measures directly affect the duration of the results:️
- **Do not apply makeup within 24 hours**: The injection sites have not fully healed yet, and makeup could introduce bacteria, leading to infection.
- **Avoid high-temperature environments for one week**: Saunas, steam rooms, and hot yoga in such high-temperature settings can accelerate the metabolism of the medication, thus reducing the duration of its effects.
- **Strengthen sun protection**: After the procedure, melanocytes become more active, so an SPF50+ sunscreen is essential. Reapply the sunscreen every 2-3 hours when outdoors during the day.
- **Avoid strenuous exercise within 3 days after the procedure**: Excessive sweating may irritate the injection sites and accelerate metabolism.
- **Moisturization is crucial**: It is recommended to use moisturizing products with simple ingredients one week after the procedure (the simpler the ingredients, the better) to help repair the skin’s barrier.
- **Avoid using whitening or acidic skincare products for one week**: During the post-treatment recovery period, it is best to stop using all products containing active ingredients such as retinol, fruit acids, or salicylic acid.
To be honest, I have friends around me who didn’t follow the proper post-surgery care routines, and the results they achieved after 3 months disappeared within just one and a half months. The reason was simply that they failed to pay attention to sun protection and avoid high-temperature environments—two crucial factors that can significantly affect the outcome of such treatments.
Reservation methods and practical tips: Avoid common mistakes on your first visit
Let me share the actual process of making an appointment to help those who are going for the first time get a clear idea.
**Reservation method:** It is recommended to make reservations through the BeautsGO platform. The platform offers a Chinese-language interface and allows you to learn about the basic information of the clinic and the fees for various services in advance, so you won’t be left in the dark upon arrival. The Reberry Myeongdong store on BeautsGO provides detailed address information, transportation guidelines, and business hours, which are very useful.
**Items to Prepare:**
- Passport (foreigners generally need to use their real names when seeking medical treatment)
- A well-documented history of previous medical treatments (if you have previously undergone cosmetic procedures, you may include the names of the products used at that time).
- Translation software (basic simple Chinese communication is possible on-site, but for more complex tasks, it is recommended to use a professional translator as an accompaniment).
**Recommended duration of stay:** You can schedule shopping in Myeongdong along with medical beauty treatments on the same day. The injection of Rejuran, followed by the application of an anesthetic and post-treatment sedation, usually takes around 1.5 to 2 hours. Considering the travel time and shopping activities, a whole day is more than sufficient.️
