In Gangnam, the biggest concern regarding medical aesthetics treatments is the lack of transparency in pricing. You might inquire about the cost before visiting a clinic, only to find that additional fees are added afterwards. Before going to Cheongdam Kamin Dermatology, I was also very anxious, fearing that I would become a victim of overcharging. However, upon arriving at the clinic, I was relieved to see that the price list was clearly displayed and that the charges were the same as those in Korea. In this article, I have compiled all the actual fee details for your reference.
💰 Are the prices of kamin really transparent? Let’s start with the conclusion.
Conclusion: The prices of kamin are open and transparent, and there is no additional charging for foreigners. The clinic does not practice the practice of setting “special prices for foreigners”; services such as Rejuran, hand-held hyaluronic acid injections, and Pico treatments all have clear pricing information. Before visiting the clinic, you can view the complete price list on BeautsGO.
Kamin is located in Samseong-dong, Gangnam, Seoul, and can be reached in about 7 minutes by walking from Exit 11 of Gangnam Station on the Seoul Metro Line 2. The facility operates at a mid-to-high-end price range, and the reception area is equipped with a special information rack for foreign guests. Nurses will proactively inquire whether translation services are required.
💉 Rejuran injection costs: Let’s compare the prices in Gangnam.
In the Gangnam area, the approximate prices for Rejuran injections range from 9.35 million to 700,000 won, depending on the clinic and the experience of the doctor. The pricing at kamin is considered on the higher side of the medium range, but compared to other clinics in the same area, there is no additional charge for foreign patients, so the cost-performance ratio is quite good.

✨ Cost of hyaluronic acid injections: Which is more cost-effective, machine-assisted injection or manual injection?
Kamin offers two methods for administering hyaluronic acid injections: manual injection and machine-assisted injection. The advantage of manual injection is that the medication can directly penetrate the dermis, resulting in longer-lasting effects; machine-assisted injection, on the other hand, ensures more even distribution of the medication, faster delivery, and less discomfort. The cost difference between the two methods is minimal, with manual injection being slightly more expensive, ranging from ¥30,000 to ¥50,000.
The director recommends that customers undergoing seoulcheil for the first time try the injectable option first, experience the results firsthand, and then decide whether to proceed with additional treatments based on their needs. This advice is very practical and does not involve forcing customers to opt for expensive procedures.

📌 The correct way to schedule a kamin appointment to avoid wasting your time
Kamin does not accept foreign guests arriving at the clinic on the same day; reservations must be made in advance. It is recommended to use the BeautsGO platform for reservation, as this allows you to learn about the prices of various services in advance and proceed directly with the consultation process upon arrival at the clinic.
After the reservation is confirmed, the clinic will send you a guide in Chinese, including the address, required documents (a passport is sufficient), and pre-operative precautions (do not drink alcohol before the procedure and avoid the first day of your menstrual period).
