The much-discussed prices at Dongdaemun shinederma Dermatology! VRO ultrasound treatments start from 390,000 won, and Potenza treatments start from 150,000 won – this is the most accurate way to plan your budget for medical aesthetics treatments in South Korea.

Recently, on the Korean travel section of Dcard, I saw several girls discussing Dongdaemun shinederma Dermatology. They mentioned that the prices for HIFU treatments started from just 390,000 Korean won, and Potenza treatments from 150,000 Korean won—far cheaper than similar clinics in Gangnam. Additionally, both female directors personally conduct consultations and provide detailed information about the origin of medical supplies used during treatments. I have compiled all the price lists, treatment details, and post-treatment precautions, and saved them for my sister who is considering undergoing cosmetic procedures in South Korea but is worried about budget constraints.

Which clinic is Dongdaemun shinederma Dermatology? It doesn’t quite match what I imagined.

💡

shinederma Dermatology is located on the 4th floor of the Gyeongjin Building, at 331 Wangsimni-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul. It is only about a 3-minute walk from Exit 11 of Wangsimni Station, or just 3 minutes if you use Exit 4. Although the address is in Seongdong-gu, it is only two subway stops away from Dongdaemun Historical and Cultural Park Station, so many people who have visited the Dongdaemun wholesale area choose to come here directly afterwards.

The clinic has a small, boutique style that lacks the hustle and bustle of Gangnam’s medical beauty streets. There are only one or two people at the reception desk, and the waiting area is quiet—no long queues or a streamlined process for checking in. I originally assumed that clinics near Dongdaemun were mainly targeted at tourists, but upon visiting, I realized that local customers actually make up the majority.

At shinederma Dermatology, the price for HIFU starts from 390,000 yuan. What kind of standard does this price represent?

🪄

The VRO (V-Ro) is the third-generation focused HIFU device developed by Classys. It belongs to the same family of focused ultrasound technologies as Ultherapy and Shurink Shuyanke, but its probe design has been improved, claiming to allow for more precise control of energy delivery to the SMAS fascia layer while reducing unnecessary energy loss in other areas. At shinederma, the full-face treatment using the VRO costs starting from ₩390,000 Korean won (approximately NT$9,000–9,500). This price is considered relatively low in Seoul; however, in major clinics in Gangnam, the same treatment usually costs between ₩500,000 and ₩800,000, indicating a significant difference in pricing.

Director Quan Duoying is shinederma’s chief physician specializing in anti-aging treatments. He has previously worked at the Gangnam and Silkworm Yard branches of Beauty Lounge Clinic, where his expertise lies in targeted anti-aging approaches—that is, adjusting the treatment parameters according to different age groups and facial areas, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all formula. This aspect is often mentioned in customer reviews on Dcard; some customers have noted, “During the consultation, the director spent nearly 20 minutes carefully identifying the target areas, which was much more thorough than what we experienced at Gangnam before.”

The recovery period after VRO treatment is shorter than that after Thermage. Usually, the swelling subsides within 2 to 4 hours, and patients can go out normally the next day. In terms of results, patients generally begin to notice a slight tightening effect 2 to 4 weeks after the procedure, with the best results appearing around 3 months later, lasting for approximately 12 to 18 months. Those who are sensitive to pain should note that, although the overall experience is tolerable, the pain in areas where the zygomatic bone protrudes is relatively more noticeable.

For whom is shinederma Dermatology’s Potenza Sylfirm X, priced starting from 150,000 yuan, suitable?

💡

The Potenza device used by shinederma is the Sylfirm X – currently the only Potenza device on the market that offers both “pulsed electromagnetic waves (PW)” and “continuous electromagnetic waves (CW)” modes. Compared to earlier models like Fractora or MorpheusRF, it delivers more precise results in treating capillaries and pigmentation issues. With a starting price of ₩150,000 Korean won (approximately NT$3,500), this device is considered reasonably priced in Seoul and falls into the mid-range category.

Potenza is particularly suitable for certain groups of people: enlarged Pores, acne scars, and the early stages of skin laxity (aged 25–38) are the most common indications for its use. For severe, sunken acne scars, a single treatment session may not be sufficient; the clinic director recommends combining it with Pico treatments or multiple sessions to achieve better results. People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those with unhealed wounds, those who have metal implants, or those who are allergic to alcohol (used for pre-operative disinfection) should not use Potenza.

Complete price list of shinederma Dermatology: VRO ultrasound, Potenza, Botox, and Pico treatments are all listed publicly.

💰

The following are the reference prices for the main services provided by shinederma Dermatology, compiled from various sources. The actual fees may vary depending on the treatment area and the number of sessions. The conversion rate used is 1 Korean won ≈ 0.023 Taiwanese dollars.

If you have a schedule similar to that of a special operations soldier, the most worthwhile option is the combination of Potenza and botulinum toxin injections. The total cost for these two treatments is around ₩250,000. You can go out for shopping the day after the treatment without needing to take a day off or arrange any additional recovery time. The VRO ultrasound treatment should be scheduled 2–3 days in advance, as some people may experience slight swelling or redness on their faces the day after the procedure, which would make it unsuitable to take photos on the same day.

🔥 Special offer prices at shinederma Dermatology for June! Check out the highly popular package on Dcard.

🌸

In June 2026, shinederma Dermatology launched a series of summer-themed special packages, offering significantly more favorable prices than usual. Many Dcard users made their appointments specifically because of these promotions. Below is a detailed list of the special package prices; please read it carefully before making your choice.

All the prices listed above for these June promotions are available through the BeautsGO platform. There are no middleman markups or hidden fees, ensuring high price transparency.

The dual-directorate system at shinederma Dermatology: What is the division of labor between Park Ji-hyun and Kwon Du-young?

🏥

The most frequently discussed highlight of shinederma Dermatology is its dual-director system, where the two directors have clear divisions of responsibility—this is not the case where one director merely holds the title without actual involvement. Director Park Ji-hyun specializes in the treatment of pigmentation and skin texture issues (such as spots, dullness, acne scars, and chloasma), with a work experience including stints at Ppeum clinics in Myeongdong and Incheon. Director Chun Du-young focuses on photorejuvenation treatments (such as VRO, Shurink, Oligio, and Thermage) and has previously served as the general manager of Beauty Lounge Clinics in Gangnam and Silkworm Branch.

In the discussions on the Korean version of Dcard, several people mentioned that during the in-person consultation, the clinic director would directly ask about “the issue that concerns you the most” and then provide “priority recommendations” based on the condition of your skin. Instead of recommending the most expensive treatment package to everyone, the director would take into account individual needs. This aspect received relatively positive feedback from Taiwanese women in their discussions. However, it’s important to note that during the peak booking season (such as during the spring-summer transition or around holidays), the director’s schedule is usually filled 2–3 weeks in advance, so it’s not possible to make last-minute appointments.

Shinederma Dermatology’s Authenticity Traceability System

📱

Main consumables such as Thermage, Juvederm, and Rejuran are opened in front of the patients by the clinic directors before the procedures are performed. Some devices also support official app scanning for traceability, thereby eliminating the risk of using defective consumables. This practice is currently quite common in high-end clinics in areas such as Myeongdong and Gangnam; it is rather rare to find clinics in surrounding areas adopting this measure.

Key points for post-operative care at Dongdaemun shinederma Dermatology: don’t miss these important tips.

⚠️

There are some differences between the post-treatment care for VRO HIFU and conventional phototherapy treatments. The following are the most frequently asked questions regarding these aspects:

• Within 24 hours after the procedure, avoid applying heat packs, taking steam baths, or using saunas to prevent excessive inflammation in the treated area.
• Within 3 days after the procedure, it is advisable to avoid strenuous exercise to prevent high body temperatures from interfering with tissue recovery.
• Be sure to apply adequate sun protection (SPF50+ PA+++). After the procedure, the skin becomes more sensitive to ultraviolet rays, so avoiding sun exposure can help prevent dark spots from forming.
• You can wash your face normally after 24 hours, but it is recommended to use water at moderate temperature in the first 3 days to avoid irritation from hot water.
• After returning to Taiwan, continue with moisturizing and sun protection for 4 to 6 weeks. This period is crucial for the reconstruction of Collagen.
• After receiving the Potenza treatment, avoid applying makeup for 24 hours to allow the microneedle channels to close naturally.

There’s a detail that many people overlook: if you take a flight back to Taiwan immediately after undergoing VRO treatment, the extremely low humidity and changing air pressure inside the aircraft can cause your freshly treated skin to become even drier. It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours after the procedure before flying, and make sure to use a moisturizing spray continuously throughout the flight.

How can I make an appointment at Dongdaemun shinederma Dermatology? What is the fastest way to get there?

🧳

From Dongdaemun Historical and Cultural Park Station, take Line 2 and get off at Wangsimni Station. Walk out from Exit 11 and it’s only a 3-minute walk. Alternatively, start from Myeongdong, take Line 4 to Dongdaemun Historical and Cultural Park Station, and then transfer to Line 2 – it’s just one stop away. The entire journey from Myeongdong takes approximately 20 minutes.

FAQs on Common Issues at Dongdaemun shinederma Dermatology

Q: What is the difference between VRO HIFU and Ultherapy?

A: Both technologies utilize HIFU and operate on similar principles. However, the VRO is considered the successor to the Classys model, with claims that its probe design has been improved, allowing more concentrated energy to be delivered to the SMAS fascia layer, thus resulting in less discomfort for some patients, especially those with more pronounced Buccal Fat in Asian faces. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of these devices can vary significantly from person to person; therefore, when choosing a device, it may be more important to consider the expertise of the clinic director rather than the specific features of the machine itself.

Q: Does shinederma Dermatology offer Chinese-language services?

A: You can make reservations in Chinese through the BeautsGO platform, and Chinese-speaking customer service is available to assist you during the communication process. Although some staff at the clinic have basic knowledge of Chinese, it is recommended to confirm important details in advance through the platform to avoid any misunderstandings during face-to-face conversations.

Q: Can I go get the treatment on the same day after shopping around Dongdaemun?

A: Minor treatments such as Potenza, Botox, or glow treatments can be completed on the same day without any major issues. It is recommended to schedule HIFU at the end of the day, as there may be some mild swelling after the procedure, making it unsuitable to engage in strenuous activities immediately afterwards.

Q: With a budget of only 200,000 Korean won, what can one do in shinederma?

A: With a budget of 200,000 yuan, you could consider a Potenza treatment for the entire face (starting from 150,000 yuan) combined with basic skin care, or Botox injections in two areas (100,000 yuan per area). This amount is not sufficient for a VRO treatment for the entire face. If your budget is limited but you still want to experience the effects of ultrasonic therapy, you may inquire about Shurink treatments for specific areas such as the jawline or Forehead.

Q: How far is shinederma Dermatology from Dongdaemun?

A: From Dongdaemun Historical and Cultural Park Station, take Line 2 and get off at Wanshi Station. It takes about 3 minutes to walk from the station to the clinic, so the total journey takes approximately 10 minutes. Compared to walking directly (which takes around 20–25 minutes), it is highly recommended to take the subway, especially after a treatment when you may not be in good enough shape for long walks.
