Last month, when I was in Cheongdam, Seoul, a friend took me to 4ever Dermatology. I originally just wanted to take a look around casually, but as soon as I entered the clinic, 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. It turned out that many of them came here for treatments. What surprised me even more was that the director of the clinic was the officially designated instructor for the “girl needle” treatment technique; many directors from other hospitals even came here specifically to learn the injection techniques. This article records my entire experience at this clinic, including the director’s unique approach to the treatment, my personal feelings about the services, 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. Its 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. They use 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 effects commonly associated with traditional injection methods. Such a precise injection approach is something that many other hospitals are unable to offer.
👩⚕️ Who is the dean of Cheongdam 4ever Dermatology Institute? The officially designated teaching dean for the Juvenile Needle treatment method.
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 injections for Lifting purposes, similar to what is commonly referred to as “girlhood injection.” Many clients opt for this targeted Lifting treatment, which achieves desired results through fine-tuning, ensuring a very natural outcome without any noticeable 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 and 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 guide to 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 but waited in the waiting area outside the director’s office. This waiting area was designed to be quiet and comfortable, with good privacy – 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 suggestions based on your needs. At that time, I wanted to undergo Lifting for my facial contours. The director recommended that I use the Juvenile Needle technique to stabilize the outer contours, while also combining it with Couri for fine-tuning of the inner contours. He emphasized that it is not advisable to inject too much at one time; adjusting 2cc to 4cc should be sufficient, and additional injections can be considered later depending on the results. This approach of “less is more” really reassured me.
The configuration of the treatment rooms is also quite good, with both single rooms and double rooms available for selection. For VIP International treatments, these 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 these VIP rooms precisely for this reason – they offer high efficiency and excellent privacy.
💉 Cheongdam 4ever Dermatology’s BYUL Signature Treatment: Practical Results of the Youthful Face Contour Fixation Procedure
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 process involves administering 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. The result is a more defined and firm outer facial contour that appears completely natural, as if it were simply your natural appearance.
During my personal experience, the numbing process took about 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. On the other hand, the soft tissues around 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 may be slight swelling, but it’s 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 much more defined without looking artificial like after surgery. This subtle yet noticeable change is a testament to the director’s expertise in making fine adjustments.
✨ Why doesn’t Cheongdam 4ever Dermatology become outdated? The logic of subtle, natural 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 handled by 4ever, this issue hardly ever occurs, thanks to the injection techniques employed by the clinic director.
The first aspect is dose control. In traditional methods, 0.5 centum core or even 1 centum core may be injected at each injection site, but the director only uses 0.1 to 0.3 centum core per site. With a smaller dose, the risk of localized over-inflation is significantly reduced. The second aspect is precise layering. The director has a thorough understanding of the facial anatomical structure and ensures that each injection is placed precisely at the target layer, preventing uneven depths. Finally, long-term follow-up is essential. The director emphasizes the need for “annual adjustments,” ensuring that the dose 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 HIFU to tighten the skin; if necessary, additional specialized lipolytic injections are administered. This combined treatment requires extensive experience with various instruments and injectable products, and the director happens to possess all such expertise.
💉 What other special treatments does Cheongdam 4ever Dermatology offer? Couri, Density Lifting, Celexo Asce+ Exosomes.
In addition to the “Girl Needle” treatment, 4ever also has several other projects that are worth paying close attention to.
Couri Liquid Injection: A softer liquid filler than the traditional “juvenile needle” injections, with no risk of lumps forming. It is ideal for areas that require large-area filling, such as the Nasolabial Fold Correction and 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 supply 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 customers 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 any preset templates, so each patient’s treatment plan is customized accordingly.
💰 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 Jeonseo Needle brand, which means that his skills are endorsed by the brand itself. Many deans from other hospitals come to 4ever for training, so you are essentially working at the very source of this technology. Furthermore, the “micro-targeted” approach adopted by the dean is more time-consuming and more meticulous than traditional methods; it may take 40 to 50 minutes to complete one contour, rather than the 15 minutes required in a streamlined process. Both the time investment and the technical complexity reflect the high standards of this approach.
Additionally, the VIP International facilities at 4ever are of exceptionally high standard – 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 move around. This is quite 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 prefer 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. Here are the groups of people who would be suitable and those who would not, as summarized by me:
Suitable for:
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 need
s.
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 addressin
g issues resulting from improper previous injections.
3. Individuals who need Lifting, especially for stabilizing the outer co
ntours 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 technologies.
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. Those who ex
pect quick results and seek dramatic changes. The director’s approach focuses on subtle improvements, rather than major transformations.
3. Pregnant or breastfeed
ing women. It is recommended to postpone any injectable treatments until after these periods.
4. People with a tendency to develo
p keloid scars. Special caution is required when undergoing both injectable and phototherapy treatments.
5. First-time cosmetic p
atients who have no idea what their specific needs are. It is advisable 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 can 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 those provided by 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 centum core or more) is injected at each point, which can easily lead to lumps and an unnatural appearance. However, at 4ever Clinic, only 0.1 to 0.3 centum core 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 highly reliable.
Q: What is the approximate price at Cheongdam 4ever Dermatology?
A: The prices of 4ever in Gangnam are considered mid-to-high-end, and they are indeed more expensive than those at regular Dermatology clinics. For specific treatment prices, it is recommended to check on BeautsGO or consult the customer service directly, as the costs can vary significantly depending on the treatment and the dosage used. However, one thing is certain: the price you pay includes consultations by the clinic director and techniques endorsed by the brand itself, so the cost-performance ratio is quite good.
Q: Does getting a teenage girl’s facial contour injection hurt?
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 about 40 minutes, including 20 minutes for the numbing effect, so it takes approximately one hour in total. If you are particularly sensitive to pain, you can inform the director in advance, and he will adjust the procedure accordingly.
Q: Is Cheongdam 4ever Dermatology a “assembly line” type of clinic?
A: Absolutely not. At 4ever, the treatment is conducted in a one-on-one consultation with the director himself, who also performs the injections personally. The entire process is carried out by the director alone; it is absolutely impossible for the consultation to be conducted by the director while the injection is given by a nurse. This is also the reason why the prices at 4ever are higher than those at mass-treatment hospitals – you are paying for the director’s time and expertise.
Q: Can foreigners visit Cheongdam 4ever Dermatology?
A: Sure. 4ever provides Chinese-speaking customer service, so communication will be no problem at all. There will be no price increase just because you are a foreigner, but the prices in the Gangnam area are already relatively high. It is recommended to make an appointment through BeautsGO, as you can directly communicate your requirements and confirm the schedule online.
