Which Dermatology clinic in Gangnam offers reasonable prices for Thermage treatments? After visiting 5 different clinics, I finally chose Hév Dermatology (with detailed price comparisons included).

Some time ago, a friend of mine complained to me that she had gone to Gangnam to undergo Thermage treatment and found that the prices varied by tens of thousands of Korean won at different clinics. She visited five different places before finally choosing one that was “expensive but reliable.” The results are indeed good now, but the whole process was quite troublesome. This time, since I wanted to have HIFU treatment myself, I directly asked her which clinic in Gangnam was trustworthy. After thinking for a moment, she said, “You should go to Hév; the consultation service provided by Director Shin Ji-yeon is quite reliable.”

So this time, I went to the Hév Dermatology Clinic in Sinsa-dong. I recorded the entire process of the in-person consultation and advice-giving session. At the same time, I compared the prices of Thermage treatments at several popular clinics in Gangnam, so that those in need could use this information as a reference.

I. How much does it actually cost to undergo Thermage treatment in Gangnam? I visited 5 different clinics before compiling this information.

Let’s start with the price, which is of great concern to everyone. I consulted several well-known Dermatology clinics in the Gangnam area, and the approximate prices for the Thermage FLX full-face treatment are as follows:

⚠️ The prices listed above refer to the market conditions at the time of consultation in early 2026. The actual fees will be determined after a on-site assessment; prices may vary depending on the specific facial features or the amount of hair required.

I ultimately chose Hév, not just because the prices were relatively reasonable, but also because Director Shen Zhiyan conducted a very thorough skin assessment for me, did not try to push any services that I didn’t need, and provided all the details about the costs in a clear and transparent manner.

II. Why has Director Shin Ji-yeon of Hév Dermatology in South Korea been able to establish a firm foothold in Gangnam? The four core principles of Hév

Before going, I did some research and found that Hév doesn’t follow the path of those “internet celebrity-check-in clinics.” On their official website, they listed “4 principles and commitments,” which really impressed me.

• Principle 1: Treatment must be conducted by specialized physicians – Only specialized physicians from the South Korea Dermatology Academy (top 1.5% of the profession), and not nurses or ordinary technicians, are authorized to perform such treatments.
• Principle 2: No forced promotion of packages – We customize treatment plans tailored specifically to your skin condition, without attempting to sell you a complete set of treatments as soon as you enter the clinic.
• Principle 3: Genuine products, fixed quantities, and fair prices – Both the equipment and medications used are genuine products. We refuse to hide any costs; the prices stated are exactly what you will pay.
• Principle 4: Appropriate treatment – Only perform necessary treatments; avoid recommending unnecessary procedures, and strongly oppose excessive use of cosmetic medical treatments.

In Gangnam, a highly competitive area, there are actually not many clinics that adhere to these four principles. Many clinics attract customers by offering low prices, but in reality, the treatments are carried out by interns or non-specialized doctors. In this regard, Hév can be considered to have certain standards and principles.

III. How was the consultation process like when going to Hév for a Thermage treatment?

I made my reservation in advance through KakaoTalk (they have a dedicated Kakao consultation window). Upon arriving at the store, the receptionist quickly checked my reservation information. The whole process was very efficient.

Director Shin Ji-yeon’s consultation lasted for about 20 minutes. First, she examined the condition of my entire face, and then used a device to conduct a more detailed skin analysis. After that, she told me…

• My main facial issues are mild sagging and a drooping Apple Zone.
• The HIFU is more suitable for my current condition than Thermage.
• If you want to combine both methods, it is recommended to undergo HIFU first and then consider Thermage after 3 months.

Here’s the key point: she didn’t try to push me into getting Thermage treatment right away; instead, she suggested a plan that was more suitable for my actual situation. This experience of being “advised against” the treatment actually increased my trust in this clinic significantly.

IV. Are the HIFU and Thermage devices used at Hee Xi Dermatology in South Korea reliable?

Hév has a fairly comprehensive inventory of equipment. The official website lists more than 20 types of genuine devices, including:

• Thermage FLX (Solta, genuine product from the United States) — mainly used for full-face Lifting.
• HIFU Ultherapy Prime (authentic German product from Merz, FDA-approved) – used for Lifting purposes
• HydraFacial (USA) – Deep cleansing + moisturizing hydration therapy
• Inmode (Israel) – Lipolysis + Lifting
• Fotona StarWalker (Europe) – Pigment laser, 13 modes available

This configuration is considered quite comprehensive at the Gangnam Dermatology Institute. And the most important thing is that all the equipment is genuine and original. Director Shen specifically emphasized that Hév does not use any counterfeit equipment of unknown origin; all the equipment is officially certified by the manufacturers.

V. What is the environment like at the Hév Sinsa Branch?

Hév’s Seoul branch is located on Dosan-daero in Sinsa-dong. It is only about a 5-minute walk from Exit 8 of Sinsa Station on the Seoul Metro Line 3, so it is very easy to find. The building is an office complex, and the reception area of Hév can be found on the 16th floor.

The environment was roughly what I expected – it wasn’t luxurious in the way of a hotel lobby, but it was clean, tidy, and provided good privacy. The reception area was separate from the waiting zone, and both consultations and treatments took place in private rooms. Overall, it gave the impression of a clinic that relies on its technical expertise rather than flashy decor to attract customers.
