Last month, when I was in Cheongdam, Seoul, a friend took me to 4ever Dermatology. I had just planned to take a look around casually, but as soon as I entered, I was amazed by the photo walls in the lobby – they were filled with autographs and group photos of various celebrities, including professional gamers and South Korean artists who had all undergone treatments here. What surprised me even more was that the director of the clinic was the officially designated instructor for the “Girl Needle” treatment; many directors from other hospitals came here specifically to learn the injection techniques. This article records my entire experience at this clinic, including the director’s unique approach, my personal feelings about the treatments, and why the prices are higher than at other clinics, yet there are still so many repeat customers.
🏥 Why is Cheongdam 4ever Dermatology so popular? Even celebrities and professional athletes specifically choose to go there.
Cheongdam Minit Dermatology is located on the 6th floor of 444 Apgujeong-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, right across from Cheongdam min Dermatology. The location is extremely easy to find. Upon entering the lobby, one immediately realizes that this is no ordinary Dermatology clinic. The walls of the lounge area are covered with autographs and group photos of celebrities; many South Korean artists and professional gamers have undergone treatments here. In the field of medical aesthetics in South Korea, this is actually a very convincing endorsement – since artists have extremely high standards when it comes to their appearance, the fact that they repeatedly choose this clinic indicates that the treatment results and safety measures are indeed top-notch.
This hospital targets the mid-to-high-end and high-end market, focusing primarily on thread lifting, injectable treatments, and stem cell therapies. The prices are indeed higher than those of other Dermatology clinics, but there is a good reason for this: The director of the hospital is the official designated injector for the “Juvenile Needle” treatment and also serves as the dean of the training institute. The clinic uses the brand’s latest “micro-point injection” technique, injecting only 0.1 to 0.3 centum core of fluid at each point, which effectively avoids the lumpy formations that often occur with traditional injection methods. This level of precision in injection techniques is something that many other hospitals cannot achieve.
👩⚕️ Who is the dean of Cheongdam 4ever Dermatology? The officially designated teaching dean for the Teenage Needle treatment.
The director of 4ever Dermatology comes from a very prestigious background. He previously worked at 4ever Plastic Surgery and later specialized in injection treatments and Lifting procedures. Currently, he is the officially designated teaching director for the “Girl Shot” brand. What does this mean? It means that the brand recognizes his expertise and has entrusted him with the task of teaching other hospital directors how to perform the “Girl Shot” procedure. Many hospital directors travel specifically to 4ever to observe and learn from him, which is quite rare in South Korea’s Dermatology industry.
The most essential technique of the director is known as the “micro-dose targeted injection method.” Only 0.1 to 0.3 centum cores of fluid are used at each injection site, making this approach much more precise than traditional methods. Traditional techniques often result in excessive injections at one time, which can lead to lumps or unnatural results. However, the micro-dose targeted injection method allows for precise control of the dosage at each point, resulting in smoother and more natural contour lines. The director specializes in contour injection Lifting treatments that resemble “girlish injections”; many clients opt for this targeted Lifting approach, which achieves desired results through fine-tuning, ensuring a very natural outcome without any signs of swelling or bumps.
In addition, the director adjusts the treatment plan every year based on the patient’s previous injection history, and the dosage for the second injection is never higher than that of the first. This is crucial – it demonstrates that the director aims to achieve sustainable, natural results, rather than increasing the dosage with each subsequent injection. Such a long-term approach is quite rare in the fast-paced beauty industry.
📋 Step-by-step process of visiting Cheongdam 4ever Dermatology: from registration to the consultation
When I arrived, the process was as follows: First, I registered at the front desk, and then underwent a dermatological examination. After the examination, I didn’t go directly into the consultation room; instead, I waited in the waiting area outside the director’s office. This waiting area was designed to be quiet, comfortable, and private – unlike some Dermatology clinics where patients have to wait in the lobby. When it was your turn, the director would conduct the consultation personally, rather than having a nurse or assistant ask questions first.
During the in-person consultation, the director will carefully examine the overall condition of your face and then provide recommendations based on your needs. At that time, I wanted to undergo Lifting; the director suggested that I use the Juvenile Needle for external contour fixation, combined with Couri for fine-tuning of the internal contours. He emphasized that it is not advisable to inject too much at one time—adjustments within the range of 2cc to 4cc are sufficient, and additional injections can be considered later depending on the results. This approach of “less is more” gave me a great sense of confidence.
The configuration of the treatment rooms is also quite good, with both single rooms and double rooms available for selection. For VIP International treatments, the VIP rooms allow for both injection procedures and phototherapy treatments to be carried out simultaneously, without the need to move the equipment or have the customer change rooms. Many celebrities choose VIP rooms precisely for this reason – it offers higher efficiency and better privacy.
💉 Cheongdam 4ever Dermatology’s BYUL-exclusive treatment: Practical results of the needle-based contour definition procedure for young women
The IPCHEA’s signature treatment for young women is the contour definition injection, which also ranks among the procedures that attract the most attention from celebrities. The technique involves making precise injections along the outer contours of the face, from the temples to the jawline, with each injection delivering a precise dose of 0.1 to 0.3 centum core of the product. The result is an outer contour that appears more defined and firm, yet looks entirely natural, as if it were simply your natural appearance.
During my actual experience, the numbing process took approximately 20 minutes, and the actual injection itself lasted around 40 minutes. In the area near the temples, where the bones are thinner, the stinging sensation was quite noticeable, ranging from a pain level of 4 to 5 on the scale. In contrast, the soft tissue areas near the jawline were much more tolerable, with a pain level of about 2 to 3. Overall, the discomfort remained within a manageable range, so there’s no need to worry too much.
On the day of the injection, there will be slight swelling, but it is not very noticeable. By the third day, the swelling begins to subside, and by the seventh day, the results are generally stable. What surprised me the most was the definition of my jawline – it used to feel a bit loose, but after the treatment, it became noticeably tighter, without appearing as abrupt as if I had undergone surgery. This kind of effect, where there is a change but it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what, is a testament to the director’s precise skill in making subtle adjustments.
✨ Why doesn’t Cheongdam 4ever Dermatology become outdated? The logic of natural, gradual improvements
Many people are most afraid of the “swelling” effect after undergoing fillers – their face becomes round and puffy, resembling a steamed bun. However, in the cases treated by 4ever, this issue is virtually non-existent, and the reason lies in the injection technique employed by the clinic director.
Firstly, there is the issue of dose control. In traditional methods, 0.5cc or even 1cc of filler may be injected at each injection site, but the director only uses 0.1 to 0.3cc per site. With a smaller dose, the risk of localized over-inflation is significantly reduced. Secondly, there is precise layering. The director has a thorough understanding of the facial anatomical structure and ensures that each injection is placed precisely in the target layer, preventing uneven distribution of the filler. Finally, long-term follow-up is essential. The director emphasizes the need for “annual adjustments,” ensuring that the dose used in the second treatment does not exceed that of the first, thus maintaining stable and gradual results over time, rather than sudden dramatic changes.
In addition to the “girlhood needle” treatment, 4ever also offers a very special technique called “skin pressed against the bones beneath the eyes”. To address the swelling caused by fat accumulation around the eyes, the director’s approach is as follows: first perform facial lipolysis, then use the HIFU to tighten the skin; if necessary, additional specialized lipolytic injections are administered. This combined treatment method requires extensive experience with various instruments and injection products, and the director happens to possess all the necessary expertise.
💉 What other special treatments does Cheongdam 4ever Dermatology offer? Couri, Density Lifting, Celexo Asce+ Exosomes
In addition to the “girlhood injection” treatment, 4ever also offers several other projects that are worth paying close attention to.
Couri Liquid Injection: This is a softer liquid filler than the traditional “juvenile needle” injections, with no risk of lumps forming. It is suitable for areas that require large-area filling, such as the Nasolabial Fold Correction and the Apple Zone. If you have noticeable facial depressions but do not want to use fillers with higher consistency, Couri is an excellent choice.
Li Ying-ai Lifting: This treatment uses 600 probes, and these probes are the ones that manufacturers prefer to provide to Director 4ever first. What does this mean? It means that local instrument manufacturers have a very high level of recognition for the director; new probes or equipment are always given to the director first for testing and use. Therefore, when you undergo Li Ying-ai Lifting at 4ever, you are using the latest model of probes, which result in more precise outcomes than the older models.
Celexo Asce+ Exosomes: An Asce+ Exosomes product with extremely low levels of discomfort, making it ideal for patients who are sensitive to pain. The clinic director also has a unique formula: combining Potenza with Celexo results in particularly good sedative effects, especially for those with acne-prone skin. The parameters for using Potenza are determined by the clinic director personally, rather than following a standard template, so each patient’s treatment plan is customized.
💰 Why are the prices at Cheongdam 4ever Dermatology relatively higher? Is it really worth this amount?
To conclude, the price at 4ever is indeed a bit higher than that at other Dermatology clinics in Gangnam, but this extra cost is justified. The reason is simple: you are paying for the expertise of the chief physician.
The dean is the officially designated teaching dean for the 4ever treatment. This means that his skills are endorsed by the brand itself. Many deans from other hospitals come to 4ever for training, which means you are involved in the project right from its inception. Furthermore, the “micro-point injection” technique used by the dean is more time-consuming and more precise than traditional methods. Fixing a single contour can take 40 to 50 minutes, rather than the 15 minutes required in a streamlined process. Both the time cost and the technical complexity reflect the high quality of this approach.
In addition, the VIP International rooms at 4ever are also equipped with top-notch facilities – they allow for both injection treatments and glow therapies to be carried out simultaneously, without the need for either the equipment or the customers to be moved around. This is something that is very rare among Dermatology clinics in the Gangnam area. Many celebrities choose 4ever precisely for its efficiency and privacy. In summary, if you are seeking refined and natural results, 4ever offers a very good value for money; however, if your budget is limited or you are looking for more affordable options, this may not be the right choice for you.
👥 Who is Cheongdam 4ever Dermatology suitable for? And who is it not suitable for?
To be honest, 4ever is not a Dermatology clinic suitable for everyone. Below are the groups of people for whom it is suitable and those for whom it is not, as summarized by me:
Suitable candidates:
1. People who pursue natural results and do not want others to notice that they have undergone cosmetic procedures. The director’s subtle adjustment techniques are perfect for such nee
ds.
2. Those who have already undergone filler treatments but are dissatisfied with the results and wish to make adjustments. The director is highly skilled at addressi
ng issues resulting from improper previous injections.
3. Individuals who need Lifting, especially for stabilizing the outer
contours and improving the jawline.
4. People who are afraid of pain but still want to undergo injections. Both Celexo Asce+ Exosomes and Curi cause minimal discomfort.
5. Those with sufficient budgets and willing to invest in high-quality technology.
Not suitable for:
1. People with very limited budgets who want to undergo as many treatments as possible at the lowest cost. 4ever is not suitable for those who are eager to save money at all costs.
2. People who expe
ct quick results and seek dramatic changes. The director’s approach focuses on subtle adjustments, rather than major transformations.
3. Women who are pregnant or br
eastfeeding. It is recommended to wait until after these periods before undergoing injectable treatments.
4. People with a tendenc
y to develop keloid scars. Special caution is required when undergoing both injectable and phototherapy treatments.
5. First-time
cosmetic patients who have no idea what their needs are. It is recommended to start with basic skincare treatments and gradually progress to more advanced procedures once you gain some experience.
🗺️ Address and Transportation Guide to Cheongdam 4ever Dermatology
4ever Dermatology is located on the 6th floor of 444 Apgujeong-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Right across from it is Cheongdam Minit Dermatology, so it’s very easy to find. You can get there by walking for about 8 minutes after exiting Cheongdam Station on Line 9 of the subway. If you are visiting Cheongdam-dong for the first time, it is recommended that you mark the location on a map in advance, as there are quite a few alleys in the area and it’s easy to get lost.
The hospital is open from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. It is recommended to make a reservation in advance on BeautsGO, as the number of appointments available for one-on-one consultations with the director is limited, and waiting in line on-site may take a long time. This is especially true for the popular treatments such as contouring for young women and Density Lifting. Reservations for these services usually need to be made at least one week in advance. Additionally, 4ever provides Chinese-speaking customer service, so you don’t have to worry about language barriers when communicating.
❓ FAQ: Common Questions about Cheongdam 4ever Dermatology
Q: What are the differences between the “Girl Needle” treatment offered by Cheongdam 4ever Dermatology and that available at other hospitals?
A: The biggest difference lies in the “micro-dose, precise-point” approach adopted by the director. In traditional methods, a larger amount of fluid (0.5 cc or more) is injected at each point, which can easily lead to the formation of lumps and an unnatural appearance. However, at 4ever Clinic, only 0.1 to 0.3 cc of fluid is injected at each point, allowing for precise control of the dosage. As the official designated training director of the brand, his skills are of extremely high reliability.
Q: What is the approximate price at Cheongdam 4ever Dermatology?
A: The prices of 4ever in Gangnam are considered mid-to-high-end; they are indeed more expensive than those at regular Dermatology clinics. For specific treatment prices, it is recommended to check BeautsGO or consult the customer service directly, as there can be significant differences depending on the treatment and the dosage used. However, one thing is certain: the price you pay includes a personal consultation by the clinic director and techniques endorsed by the brand itself, so the cost-performance ratio is quite good.
Q: Does the procedure for shaping a young girl’s facial contours cause pain?
A: The pain is manageable after the numbing agent is applied. The stinging sensation is more noticeable in the areas where the bones are thinner, near the temples (ranging from 4 to 5 on the pain scale), while the soft tissue areas near the jawline only experience a pain level of 2 to 3. The entire injection process takes approximately 40 minutes, including 20 minutes for the numbing effect, so the whole procedure is completed in about an hour. If you are particularly sensitive to pain, you can inform the director in advance, and he will adjust the pace accordingly.
Q: Is Cheongdam 4ever Dermatology a assembly-line type of clinic?
A: Definitely not. At 4ever, the treatment is conducted in a one-on-one consultation with the director himself, who also performs the injection. The entire process is carried out by the director personally; it is absolutely impossible for the consultation to be done by the director while the injection is given by a nurse. This is also the reason why the price at 4ever is higher than that at other hospitals that use a streamlined treatment process – you are paying for the director’s time and expertise.
Q: Can foreigners visit Cheongdam 4ever Dermatology?
A: Certainly. 4ever provides Chinese-speaking customer service, so communication will not be a problem. There will be no additional charges just because you are a foreigner, but the prices are already on the higher end in the Gangnam area. It is recommended to make an appointment through BeautsGO, as you can directly communicate your requirements and confirm the schedule online.
