The last time I went shopping in Hongdae, Seoul, I happened to enter “Future Plaza” and take the elevator. As soon as the doors opened, I saw the large Jfeel sign—a whole floor covered in white, simple yet stylish. I decided to write about it because several friends who had been there said it was great, praising the doctor’s skills and the fact that they wouldn’t push you into extra treatments. This time, since I was staying in Hongdae for two days, I booked a consultation in advance and got a thorough look at this dermatology clinic. I’d like to share my real experiences.
1. What exactly is Jfeel Ki-yeon Phi Hongdae Dermatology Clinic? My first impressions upon visiting.
Jfeel’s full name is “Jeeyoung Plastic Surgery,” and their concept revolves around “Premier Beauty Ground” – essentially turning the entire clinic into a high-end beauty space. Their Hongdae location is in Future Plaza, just a 1-minute walk from Exit 8 of Hongdae Station on Line 2. They occupy floors 5 and 7 of the building, so calling it a “two-story spa-style clinic” is no exaggeration.
As soon as you enter, you’ll see the iconic white reception area. The lighting is soft, and there’s none of the typical hospital smell or cold atmosphere—it feels more like entering the lobby of a luxury spa. The staff are able to communicate in Chinese and are very friendly to foreign tourists, which I found very important.
2. What are Jfeel Hongdae’s most popular treatments? Ultrasonic gun, Thermage, Black Box Lijulan – let’s find out!
During my consultation, I asked about the lifting and hydration treatments. The consultant introduced me to these key services, so I’ve recorded them here:
| Treatment Name | Target Audience | Reference Price (Korean Won) |
|---|---|---|
| Ultherapy Prime (US version) | Relaxation, sagging, double chin, eye area relaxation | Starting from 2.3 million (600 treatments) |
| Heafu Sound Waves Shurink Universe | Contour tightening, lifting of the fascia layer | Prices vary by treatment area |
| Thermage FLX | Overall skin tightening, pore reduction | Prices may vary by region |
| InMode | Deep fat tightening, improved skin texture | Prices vary by area |
| Black Box Aloe PDRN | Anti-aging, heals acne scars, increases elasticity | 300,000 to 800,000 |
| White Jade Needle PN | Deep hydration, reduces dullness, brightens the skin | 300,000 to 800,000 |
| Skinvive Hyaluronic Acid Injections | Moisturizes, hydrates, brightens the entire face | Pricing is based on the treatment plan. |
| Fatduce lipolytic injections | Local body contouring (chin, sides of the face) | Prices vary depending on the area. |
The consultant said that the main difference between the premium version of Heibox Lijulan and the regular version is its higher concentration and better purity, making it more suitable for those who have already noticed signs of skin aging. For regular hydration and maintenance, the Baiyu injections are sufficient, as they offer a better cost-performance ratio. I think this analysis is quite honest; they don’t try to push the most expensive options.
Third, how are the facilities and spaces inside Jfeel Hongda? What are the functions of the 5th and 7th floors?
After the consultation, the consultant took me around (which was a really nice experience). The 5th floor is mainly used for reception, consultations, and skin treatments, while the 7th floor houses the operating rooms and laser therapy areas. The overall design is very consistent: white and light gray colors create a soft and comfortable atmosphere, without the oppressive feel you might expect in an operating room.
The changing rooms have electronic password-protected lockers, and the equipment is quite new, so you can feel at ease storing valuable items there. I really like the round LED mirrors in the restrooms; the makeup lighting makes it much easier to tidy up after treatments. Overall, these are some very thoughtful details in the design.
IV. What level is Director Kim Kung-gwang? How is Jfeel Hongda Medical Team?
The representative director of Jfeel Hongda is Director Kim Kung-gwang, who has extensive clinical experience in the fields of skin regeneration and mesotherapy. Many people who have visited say that his treatments are characterized by a natural, virtually invisible result—no exaggeration, but lasting effects indeed.
The clinic’s philosophy is “1:1 personalized treatment plans.” Instead of a mass production approach, each client undergoes a thorough skin analysis before a customized treatment plan is developed. On my consultation, I asked several questions, and the consultant provided very detailed answers, without any vague promises about immediate results. This really reassured me.
