Last month, I specifically flew to Seoul just to try out the long-lasting hyaluronic acid injections and the “girlhood injection” offered by Gangnam Pind Dermatology. I had already undergone several cosmetic procedures in Taiwan, but a friend told me that the effects of these treatments in South Korea lasted twice as long as those in Taiwan, and the results of the “girlhood injection” looked much more natural. So, I decided to share with you my complete experience with Pind Dermatology and highlight what sets it apart from other clinics in Gangnam.
Why do all experts in the industry recommend pind? What makes it different from other Dermatology clinics in Gangnam?
💡
To be honest, in a place like Gangnam, where the medical beauty industry is highly competitive, there are so many Dermatology clinics that you can find one almost every few steps. However, pind has managed to stand out in this crowded market not through advertising or relying on internet celebrities for marketing, but rather through its dual focus on anti-aging treatments and lifting procedures.
While other Dermatology clinics in Gangnam may offer various treatments such as hyaluronic acid injections, Pico treatments, injections, or Thermage, Pind specializes in the field of “lifting and anti-aging treatments.” The director of the clinic has over 14 years of experience in injection and thread lifting procedures, and all the physicians provide one-on-one consultations—unlike some larger Dermatology clinics that operate on a mass-production basis.
The environment at Pind Dermatology and my first impression during the consultation
🏥
Exit from Exit 4 of Sinneungbok Station on Line 7 and turn the corner to find the JY Building; Pind is located on the 2nd floor. The first impression upon entering is that the place is very clean, but not cold or impersonal. It lacks the “commercial atmosphere” typical of large hospitals in Myeongdong, and instead resembles a professional private clinic. The waiting area is equipped with comfortable sofas, and the equipment displayed at the counter are all genuine original products, without any attempt to hide them.
During the in-person consultation, the director personally talked to me for about 20 minutes. First, he used a skin analysis device to assess my skin condition, and then, based on my requirements—such as “what kind of glow effect I desired,” “I didn’t want the results to look too artificial,” and “I hoped the effects would last longer”—he proposed a clear treatment plan: a combination of long-lasting hyaluronic acid injections and rejuvenating treatments. The Chinese-speaking director acted as my interpreter throughout the process, ensuring no communication barriers arose. And, most importantly, there was no attempt at forced sales at all; the treatment plan was truly tailored to my specific skin needs, rather than something designed simply to take advantage of me.
A comprehensive record of the effects of long-lasting hyaluronic acid injections: What makes them different from regular hyaluronic acid injections?
🪷
Let me state the conclusion first: The main difference between long-lasting hyaluronic acid injections and regular hyaluronic acid injections lies in the “concentration of the injectable solution and its cross-linking structure”. Regular hyaluronic acid injections contain approximately 10-15 mg/ml of hyaluronic acid, which provides “mild hydration” effects, but the duration of these effects usually lasts only 1-2 months. In contrast, Pind’s long-lasting hyaluronic acid injections use a higher concentration of hyaluronic acid, combined with small amounts of amino acids, vitamins, and other ingredients, allowing the effects to last for 3-6 months. Compared to similar hyaluronic acid injections available in Taiwan at the same price range, the duration of Pind’s injections is almost double.
The entire procedure took approximately 40 minutes. First, an anesthetic was applied for about 20 minutes, after which the director used extremely fine needles to administer injections at specific points on the face. When the first needle was inserted, there was a slight stinging sensation, but it wasn’t really painful; rather, it felt more like the needle was gently pressing against the skin. A total of 40 to 50 injection sites were targeted across the Forehead, eye areas, cheeks, and chin line. Every injection was performed personally by the director himself, without any assistance from nurses or assistants—this is completely different from the assembly-line approach used in some large Gangnam Dermatology clinics, where the director merely checks the area for 10 seconds before handing over the task to staff.
Time line of post-treatment effects: On the 3rd day, a noticeable glow appeared, and the foundation applied became much smoother; by the 7th day, the skin’s elasticity and moisture had significantly improved, so even with minimal photo editing, the skin looked as if it had been “glowed” with special lighting; on the 14th day, the effects reached their peak, with noticeable improvements in the blushiness of the cheeks and the reduction of fine lines; even after 2 months, the results remained stable without any significant decline. It wasn’t until the 4th month that I felt the need for a follow-up treatment. Compared to the Hyaluronic Acid injections I had in Taiwan, this duration of effect is truly much shorter.

The biggest difference between Juvelook and ordinary Filler is that it possesses both “immediate filling” and “stimulation of Collagen regeneration” effects. After the injection, not only will there be an immediate sense of support, but it will also gradually stimulate the growth of one’s own Collagen, resulting in increasingly natural results. However—it all depends greatly on the doctor’s technique and aesthetic judgment; if not done properly, the result can appear artificial or rigid.
During the pind treatment, the clinic director first marked the injection points and the dosage distribution on my face with a pen, explaining the effects of each area and the required amount of medication. The needles were slightly thicker than those used for hyaluronic acid injections, but due to the numbing agent mixed in the solution, the pain during insertion was minimal; however, there was a noticeable stinging sensation when the medication was injected. The entire procedure took about 25 minutes, and the injections were mainly administered to areas prone to sagging, such as the cheeks, Nasolabial Fold Correction, Marionette Line Correction, under the eyes, and temples.
I had also gotten the “girlhood injection” in Taiwan before, but the results were clearly not as natural as those achieved with pind this time. After that treatment in Taiwan, there was a noticeable “bulging effect” on my jawline, and the distribution of the filler was quite uneven. However, Director pind’s technique was very precise; the amount of filler used in each area was perfectly controlled. As early as the first week after the treatment, people started saying that I “looked prettier, but they couldn’t tell exactly what had changed.” That’s exactly the effect I wanted – to become more beautiful without anyone noticing.

In summary, the following 5 core advantages are the key reasons why Pind Dermatology has become so popular among professionals in Gangnam, a prime area for medical aesthetics.

② The director personally conducts the entire procedure –
from initial consultation to injection. I can attest to this firsthand; the director handles everything himself, without delegating any steps to nurses. This is completely different from some clinics where the director merely takes a quick 10-second look before moving on.

Postoperative bone preservation and precautions
⚠️
After undergoing the long-lasting hyaluronic acid injection and the “juvenile needle” treatment, the postoperative care measures are directly related to the duration of the effects. The following points are particularly crucial:
- Do not get the area exposed to water within 6 hours after the procedure: Avoid contact with unboiled water in the reddened areas; do not wash your face or apply makeup on the same day.
- Avoid high-temperature environments for 7 days: Avoid places with temperatures above 38°C, as well as steam baths and saunas, as this can accelerate the metabolism of the hyaluronic acid injected.
- Apply ice packs for the first 3 days to reduce swelling in the abdomen and buttocks: Each application should last around 10–15 minutes. Avoid applying ice cubes directly to the skin; wrap them in a piece of gauze first.
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 3 to 5 days: Strenuous exercise can increase blood circulation, thereby exacerbating the symptoms of swollen thighs and bruising.
- Sun protection is essential: Apply sunscreen with an SPF of 50+ and PA++++ every day; otherwise, the risk of getting darker skin will be higher than usual.
- Hydration, hydration, hydration: After the procedure, the skin’s need for moisture increases significantly. It is recommended to drink at least 2000 centum cores of water daily, and combine this with moisturizing face masks to enhance hydration effects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the price difference between Pind Dermatology’s long-lasting hyaluronic acid injections and regular hyaluronic acid injections?
A: The specific price varies depending on an individual’s skin condition and the area to be treated. It is recommended to check the latest quotes through BeautsGO or WeChat Hannah972. However, it is worth mentioning that Pind adheres to the principle of “uniform prices across the entire network”; there will be no additional charges just because you are a foreigner – something that is truly rare in Gangnam.
Q: Will there be any problems if I use pind without knowing Korean?
A: Absolutely not! At pind, there is a dedicated Chinese-speaking supervisor who will provide translation throughout the entire process – from filling out the registration form upon arrival, to skin tests, consultation meetings, and post-treatment instructions. Thus, there is no need to worry about language barriers at all.
Q: How many days will the skin remain red after getting injectables for young women? Will the redness be very noticeable?
A: From my experience, about three days after the treatment, there is slight redness and pinprick marks, but it never gets to the point where I can’t go out in public. By the fourth day, my skin has already recovered to 70-80% of its normal state. As for the results, Director Pind’s technique is more natural; there is no sense of having a “fake face” after the treatment, and that’s what I like most about it.
Q: What is the biggest difference between pind and other Gangnam Dermatology clinics?
A: The biggest difference lies in their focus. Pind is a clinic specialized in “professional anti-aging and lifting treatments,” unlike some Dermatology clinics that offer a wide range of services but lack expertise in any particular area. If your needs involve anti-aging treatments such as hyaluronic acid injections, botulinum toxin injections, or thread lift procedures, Pind’s specialization makes it a clear choice. However, if you want to undergo treatments like Thermage or Pico, you should go to another clinic.
Q: Can the long-lasting hyaluronic acid injection and the “girlhood injection” be done together?
A: Sure, and I think the combined effect is even better than using them separately! The long-lasting hyaluronic acid injections help to improve overall moisture, radiance, and reduce fine lines, while the “girlhood injection” provides localized support and promotes collagen regeneration – the two complement each other. However, whether they can be used together depends on an individual’s skin condition, and the director will provide professional advice during the consultation.
