Last month, I went to Cheongdam-dong in Seoul and specifically visited Arden Dermatology to get some treatment. This clinic, which has a Naver rating of 4.6, specializes in natural anti-aging treatments. The HIFU treatment costs 5 million won for 100 sessions, while the Rejuran PN treatment costs 3 million won for 2 centum cores – these prices are quite reasonable in the Gangnam area. Most importantly, there is no extra charge for foreign customers, and Chinese-speaking staff provide throughout-the-process assistance, showing great friendliness towards overseas clients like me.
💰 The price list of Cheongdam Arden Dermatology is fully available to the public.
The prices at Cheongdam Arden Dermatology are considered moderate and reasonable in the Gangnam Cheongdam area. There is no additional charge for foreign patients, and the consultation fee is 950,000 won (approximately $1,100). This is more affordable compared to many other clinics that charge 910,000 won for consultations. The following are the latest reference prices as of May 2026.
I have compiled the prices of the most common services, all listed in Korean won. To convert Taiwanese dollars, you can roughly divide the amount by 45.
- Thermage FLX full-face treatment with 900 treatments: ¥16 million to 1.8 million (approximately NT$35,000 to 40,000)
- Thermage FLX Periocular/Neck Probe: ¥9.11 million – ¥13 million
- 100 treatments with HIFU: starting from ¥5.5 million (approximately $11,000)
- Titanium Lifting: ¥9.4 million to ¥500,000
- Pico laser treatment (for honeycomb/tattoo removal): ¥4.45 million to ¥600,000
- Rejuran PN Black Box Glow Essence 2 centum core: Starting from ¥9.3 million
- Juvederm 1 centum core: ¥4.45 million to ¥650,000
- Reese Photonic M22: ¥918,000 to ¥250,000
- Lifen High-Frequency Micro Needle Treatment: ¥500,000 to ¥700,000
✨ In-depth Analysis of Popular Treatment Costs
I have shared in detail the three projects that concern me the most with everyone.
The first option is the HIFU device. Arden uses genuine equipment, and the price of 9.5 million won per 100 treatments is 15-20% cheaper than that of many clinics in Myeongdong. However, it should be noted that if the degree of skin laxity is relatively severe, more than 200 treatments are required to see significant results, so a budget of at least 91 million won is recommended.
The second option is the Rejuran PN. At NT$9.3 million per 2 centum cores, it’s at least 30% cheaper than in Taiwan. To treat the entire face, approximately 2 to 4 centum cores are needed, so the total cost for one treatment would range from NT$9.3 million to NT$600,000.
Thirdly, there is Thermage FLX. With a price range of 9.16 million to 1.8 million yuan, it is considered moderate in the Gangnam area. However, the advantage of Arden is that the treatment is performed personally by the director himself, rather than by nurses following a standardized procedure.
🏥 Address and Transportation Information for Cheongdam Arden Dermatology
Arden Dermatology is located in the heart of Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam District, Seoul, at 5th floor, No. 17, 152 Seonyeong-ro, Gangnam District, Seoul.
The transportation is very convenient: take Line 7 to Cheongdam Station and exit at Exit 13. It takes only about 3 minutes to walk from there. Right next to it is Sinnonhyeon Station, so the distance between the two stations is extremely convenient. The area is surrounded by numerous high-end clinics, making it a typical Gangnam medical aesthetics district.
Opening hours: Monday to Saturday, 10:00-20:00; closed on Sundays. It is recommended to make a reservation 3-7 days in advance, as the slots are often full, especially on weekends.
👩⚕️ Introduction by the Hospital Director and the Medical Team
The core competitiveness of Arden Dermatology lies in its system of direct consultations by the director. The director in charge, Han Yuzhe, graduated from the School of Medicine at Yonsei University and is a specialist in Dermatology with over 15 years of clinical experience. His areas of expertise include scar treatment, Lifting procedures, and natural anti-aging treatments.
The other expert is Director Han Duoyuan, a doctor from the School of Medicine at Hanlin University, who specializes in various types of injections, thread lifting procedures, and DongAn Center Introduction surgeries.
Both directors insist on conducting personal consultations and performing procedures themselves; it is absolutely impossible for the director to handle the consultation while a nurse performs the treatment. This aspect is of great importance to me and was also one of the reasons why I chose Arden.
📅 Booking Process and Chinese-Speaking Services
Arden Dermatology provides comprehensive Chinese-language customer service, covering everything from appointment scheduling to post-treatment follow-up. The appointment process is as follows:
- You can make an appointment through the BeautsGO APP or WeChat by selecting the desired date and time slot.
- Upon arrival at the clinic, Chinese-speaking customer service staff assisted with registration and the completion of relevant forms.
- Free VISIA skin analysis to assess your skin condition
- The director personally conducts consultations to develop personalized treatment plans for each patient.
- The treatment will begin after the quote is confirmed.
- Within 72 hours after the procedure, nurses would monitor the patient’s recovery progress daily.
The consultation fee is 950,000 yen, which is half the price of 910,000 yen at many other clinics. Moreover, this fee can be used to offset the cost of treatment. If you undergo the procedure on the same day, the consultation fee will be directly deducted from the total cost.
👥 People who are suitable for visiting Arden in Cheongdam
Based on my observations and research, the following types of people are particularly suited for Arden:
- I prefer a more natural anti-aging approach and don’t want results that look too highly sculpted.
- With a budget of 5 million to 2 million yen, I would like to try 1 or 2 minor cosmetic procedures.
- I prefer to be examined personally by the hospital director rather than being treated in a standardized, assembly-line manner.
- Overseas customers in need of Chinese-language services
- For those with sensitive skin or who need scar repair
It is not really recommended to go there if you are considering large-scale contouring surgeries or rhinoplasty procedures. Arden specializes in Dermatology, not Plastic Surgery, so such treatments fall outside their area of expertise.
⚠️ Important notes before visiting Arden Dermatology in Cheongdam
There are a few things I need to mention, which I didn’t know beforehand but only realized after arriving:
- The consultation fee of ¥500,000 can be deducted if you undergo the treatment on the same day; otherwise, it will not be refunded.
- Thermage and HIFU can be used in combination (thermo-HIFU combination), and there are package discounts available.
- The cost of injection treatments will be adjusted according to the individual’s facial condition, and the final price can only be determined after a face-to-face consultation.
- Avoid washing your face or applying makeup within 24 hours after the procedure, and refrain from strenuous exercise or taking steam baths for 48 hours.
- Performing injectable treatments during menstruation may affect the results and recovery process; it is recommended to avoid doing so.
❓ FAQ on Common Issues at Cheongdam Arden Dermatology
Q: Does Cheongdam Arden Dermatology charge extra for foreign patients?
A: No. Arden charges the same price for both local residents and foreigners, which is a rare and ethical practice in Gangnam. Many other clinics charge an additional 20-30% surcharge for foreign customers, but Arden does not.
Q: Does the director of Cheongdam Arden Dermatology really perform the procedures himself/herself?
A: Yes. Both Director Han Yuzhe and Director Han Duoyuan insist on conducting personal consultations and performing treatments themselves; it is never the case that the director conducts the consultation while a nurse performs the treatment. However, during peak periods, the schedules are often full, so it is recommended to book a consultation with a specific director one week in advance.
Q: Is the HIFU treatment at Cheongdam Arden Dermatology painful?
A: There is a feeling of soreness, especially in the areas where the jawline and the bones of the Forehead protrude. However, Arden will apply an anesthetic 20 minutes in advance, so the pain remains within an acceptable range. Those who are sensitive to pain can opt for a treatment with lower energy levels and more sessions; the results are similar, but the comfort level is significantly higher.
Q: How can I make an appointment at Cheongdam Arden Dermatology?
A: The most convenient way to make a reservation is through the BeautsGO APP, where you can get assistance from Chinese-speaking customer service. You can also make a reservation via WeChat, and you can expect a response within about 1 hour. It is recommended to book 3 to 7 days in advance.
