When coming to Gangnam in Seoul for medical aesthetics treatments, what people fear the most is not the pain, but discovering after the procedure that they have been overcharged. I had previously undergone an HIFU treatment at another clinic, paying almost twice the usual price, and the after-treatment service was also very poor. Learning from this experience, I took extra time to research clinics in the Gangnam area and finally chose secret Dermatology, which is located near Sinsa Station. The reasons for my choice are simple: they have a complete range of equipment, 13 independent treatment rooms on the 5th floor, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and currently, three directors personally handle patient consultations, making it a great value for money. This article provides everyone with the complete price list of secret Dermatology, the costs of their three-layer hyaluronic acid injections, the features of their lipolysis treatments, and details about the clinic’s environment. Sisters who don’t want to end up paying too much are advised to save this article.

Currently, the prices of medical beauty treatments in South Korea vary depending on factors such as whether the treatment is performed by the chief physician in person, whether genuine original products are used, whether translation services are provided, and whether it is a single treatment or a package deal. Generally, Dermatology treatments in South Korea are about 30% to 50% cheaper than those in Taiwan, but it is usually necessary to book in advance for consultations with popular chief physicians.
💉 Costs and features of the three-layer glow injection at Secret Dermatology in South Korea
When it comes to the core treatments offered by secret Dermatology, I highly recommend the three-layer glow injection. Unlike regular glow injections that are only administered in the superficial dermis, the three-layer glow injection is delivered in multiple layers, ensuring that the moisturizing ingredients reach the superficial, middle, and deep layers of the dermis respectively. This layered injection approach is designed to enhance the durability of the moisturizing effects; generally, the results can last for around 5 months, which is significantly longer than the 1 to 2 months achieved by ordinary glow injections. For someone like me who is too lazy to make frequent trips to the clinic, any reduction in the number of visits is a huge benefit.
In addition to the basic three-layer Skinvive treatment, secret Dermatology also offers advanced options such as botulinum toxin-infused Skinvive treatments and enhanced Skinvive therapies. The enhanced Skinvive series includes various formulas, including Juvederm Skinvive, Collagen Skinvive, and Juvelook Green Bottle, allowing patients to choose according to their specific skin needs and budget. For the exact prices, it is recommended to check the latest information on the BeautsGO platform, as the fees charged by medical beauty clinics may vary due to exchange rates and promotional activities.
Regarding the issue of pain, I must be honest: there is definitely some stinging sensation when receiving hyaluronic acid injections, especially in areas with thinner skin such as the eye area and Forehead. However, clinics usually apply sufficient numbing before the procedure, and the skill of the doctor performing the injection also plays a significant role in determining the level of comfort. When I had the treatment at secret, the director carefully controlled the speed and angle of the injections, so the overall pain was fairly tolerable. After the procedure, there may be slight redness and needle marks, which usually subside within 2 to 3 days. During this period, it is recommended to increase moisturization and avoid exposure to sunlight, as well as refrain from using irritating skincare products.
🔥 What is the secret licensed lipolysis needle from Dermatology in South Korea?
The lipolysis needle treatment has always enjoyed a certain level of popularity in South Korea’s medical aesthetics market. However, the quality of lipolysis needles available on the market varies greatly; some products of unknown origin not only fail to produce noticeable results but may also cause complications. The lipolysis needles used by Secret Dermatology are proprietary formulas developed exclusively for in-clinic use. Their most significant differentiating feature is the presence of test reports providing verification, which constitutes an important safety guarantee for consumers. When choosing any injectable treatment, safety should always be given priority over effectiveness.
This licensed lipolysis needle is suitable for those who have moderate local fat accumulation but still wish to improve their body contours. Typical applications include blurred jawlines, Double Chin, “butterfly arms,” and localized fat in the waist and abdomen. For individuals with generalized obesity or excessive fat deposits, the effectiveness of lipolysis needles may be limited; it is recommended to consider other weight loss options. Generally, multiple treatments are required to see noticeable results, with a typical course of treatment consisting of 3 to 5 sessions spaced about 3 to 4 weeks apart.
Regarding post-treatment care, it is normal to experience mild swelling, bruising, or numbness in the areas where the lipolytic injections were administered. These symptoms usually subside gradually within a week. It is recommended to avoid high-temperature environments such as saunas and hot baths, as well as strenuous exercise and massage of the treated areas within 48 hours after the injections. Increasing hydration and keeping the skin properly moisturized can help accelerate the metabolism of the medication and enhance its effectiveness. For detailed information on the costs and to determine whether this lipolytic treatment is suitable for you, it is advisable to schedule a consultation through BeautsGO first, so that a professional can assess your situation before making a decision.
🏥 The environment of Room 13, 5th Floor, Secret Dermatology in South Korea
The 5th floor of the clinic serves as the main treatment area, equipped with a total of 13 separate treatment rooms. This number is considered quite large among clinics in the Gangnam area. What are separate treatment rooms? They allow patients to undergo the entire process from pre-operative consultation and skin examination to the actual procedure in the same room, eliminating the need to move between different rooms as in some other clinics. For those who value privacy and do not want to be observed in the waiting area, this design is particularly considerate.
The overall decoration style adopts a white, simple, and fresh approach, creating a visually clean and professional atmosphere. Each treatment room is an independent space with good privacy, which is particularly important for procedures that one does not wish to be observed by others. When new customers arrive at the clinic, the process begins with registering on the 5th floor, followed by a 3D skin analysis. What makes this 3D skin analysis device so advanced is its ability to compare previous results. Returning customers can directly access their previous test data in the system to monitor changes in their skin condition and track the effectiveness of the treatments they have received.
This before-and-after comparison system is extremely useful for building trust and encouraging customers to return for further treatments. After undergoing HIFU or glow injections, many people wonder whether the treatments are effective. With data for comparison, these results can be presented objectively. Doctors can also adjust subsequent treatment plans based on this data, making it a very scientific approach for customers who engage in long-term skin care.
In terms of equipment, the 5th floor is equipped with 2 HIFUs, 2 ONDA devices, 2 Thermage machines, and 2 Potenza devices – a very comprehensive range of mainstream instruments. This means that there is no need to worry about not being able to schedule the treatment or procedure you desire, or about scheduling conflicts. Moreover, such a well-equipped facility indicates that the clinic has invested significantly and possesses a high level of professionalism. The convenience of having all treatments and procedures carried out in the same room is particularly beneficial for time-strapped tourists or busy professionals, as it saves them a lot of waiting and commuting time.
👩⚕️ Secret Dermatology’s system of in-person consultations by three directors
The professionalism and experience of physicians directly affect the effectiveness and safety of treatments, and this factor must not be overlooked when choosing a medical aesthetics clinic. At secret Dermatology, there are currently three directors. According to the clinic’s information, another director will be added on May 1st, bringing the total number of directors to three. The advantage of having multiple directors is that it allows for the allocation of physicians with appropriate expertise according to different treatment areas. For example, for HIFU treatments such as ultrasound knife and Sofwave, physicians skilled in contour sculpting can be assigned; while for treatments like hyaluronic acid injections and lipolysis injections, those with extensive experience in injection procedures are more suitable.
What secret focuses on is the direct consultation by the hospital director. This means that from the pre-operative assessment to the actual procedure, it is all carried out personally by professional doctors at the level of hospital directors, rather than by nurses or consultants. This ensures both safety and effectiveness. For high-energy devices such as HIFU and Thermage, if the operator lacks experience, it may lead to burns or suboptimal results. However, when operated personally by experienced hospital directors, the setting of energy parameters and the selection of treatment areas will be much more precise.
Regarding the reservation system of these clinics, if you make a reservation through the BeautsGO platform, you can specify the desired director and the time slot. It is recommended to book in advance, especially during weekends and around South Korea’s public holidays, as these periods tend to be peak times for tourist reservations. If you simply want to receive a consultation, you can also schedule a consultation appointment, but please note that the clinic may charge 20,000 South Korean won for consultations that do not result in any actual treatment.
The clinic emphasizes a high level of cooperation and focuses on offering value for money; it is also possible to schedule treatments on Sundays. This information is particularly useful for working professionals who are unable to take days off during weekdays or for tourists with limited time. However, the operating hours on Sundays may differ from those on weekdays, so it is recommended to confirm the actual operating hours and available treatment options for that day before making a reservation.
❓ FAQ: Common Questions about Secret Dermatology in South Korea
Q1: What is the difference between the HIFU and Sofwave devices offered by secret Dermatology? Which one should be chosen?
A1: The main function of the HIFU is to act on the fascia layer, addressing issues related to deep sagging. It is suitable for cases where the contour lines are blurred or the Apple Zone has sagged. On the other hand, the Sofwave utilizes patented microwave technology to target specific areas more precisely, helping to improve detailed contours. Both treatments can be used independently or in combination for a more comprehensive effect—addressing both deep sagging and local areas in detail. It is recommended that you consult with a specialist to determine which treatment is best suited to your skin condition.
Q2: How long does the effect last after receiving three sessions of hyaluronic acid injections? What is the optimal frequency for these treatments?
A2: The duration of effect of the three-layer hyaluronic acid injection generally ranges around 5 months, but this can vary depending on individual physical conditions, lifestyle habits, and post-treatment care. It is recommended to monitor the skin condition every six months and decide whether a follow-up treatment is needed based on the advice of the clinic director. Excessive frequent injections may instead cause strain on the skin; moderation is key.
Q3: Are there any serious side effects after receiving lipolytic injections?
A3: Secret’s lipolytic needles are accompanied by test reports, ensuring their safety compared to those of unknown origin. Mild swelling, bruising, or numbness may occur after the procedure, but these are normal reactions that usually subside within a week. Choosing a certified clinic and a qualified doctor is crucial for reducing risks.
Q4: Is it necessary to make an appointment in advance to visit secret Dermatology? Is it possible to make an appointment and have the treatment on the same day?
A4: It is recommended to make reservations in advance through BeautsGO, especially if you wish to specify a particular director or a certain time slot. Reservations on the same day may be full, especially during weekends and holidays. If you are simply seeking consultation, the clinic will charge a consultation fee of 20,000 Korean won; it is advisable to confirm this in advance.
Q5: Can the HIFU, Thermage, and Potenza available in the clinic be used all at once?
A5: Theoretically, it is possible, but it is generally not recommended to undergo too many high-intensity treatments at once. The skin needs time to recover, and this also increases the risk of side effects. It is more advisable to choose 1 to 2 core treatments based on your main concerns. For example, combining HIFU with triple-layer hyaluronic acid injections, or Thermage with lipolysis injections. For specific combination recommendations, it is best to consult the clinic director for professional advice.
