I have a habit of having a preliminary consultation before undergoing any cosmetic procedure. Last year, when I was considering anti-aging treatments, I visited several clinics in Cheongdam and finally chose Ruby Clinic Cheongdam. The reason I chose it wasn’t because it was particularly famous, but rather because the atmosphere there was completely different from what I experienced at other places – the space was quiet and private, and it felt nothing like waiting in line for your turn elsewhere. Today, I would like to share my entire medical experience with you, in case it can be helpful to friends who are facing similar challenges.
I. Why did I give up those so-called “internet-famous clinics” in Cheongdam?
To be honest, I went to one of those quite well-known clinics for a consultation. As soon as you entered, you had to queue up for a number, just like on an assembly line. During the consultation, the doctor spoke very quickly, as if trying to see the next patient as soon as possible. Later, I saw on the Internet that Rubi Clinic offers a 100% reservation system, and the director personally examines each patient. Just these two points were enough for me to decide to give it a try – when it comes to anti-aging treatments, making a mistake can have serious consequences, so you can’t afford to be careless.
II. Where is the Cheongdam RUBY Anti-aging Center? 4th Floor, Cheongdam Maybach Brand Center
The address is 4th floor, 425 Apgujeong-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, inside the Mercedes-Benz Brand Center. If taking the subway, ride Line 3 to Apgujeong Rodaeo Station and exit at Exit 3. It takes about 3 minutes to walk from there. If you visit for the first time, be sure to pay attention to the signs; take the elevator straight up to the 4th floor to arrive at the destination.
The entire floor is occupied by this clinic. The corridors are decorated in off-white tones, and the floors are kept very clean, creating a quiet overall atmosphere. The waiting area features a large sofa area, and next to it is the consultation room, which can be seen through the glass. Compared to other bustling clinics in Cheongdam, the atmosphere here is completely different.
III. What projects have I undertaken? Stem cell regeneration combined with SKIN BOOSTER form the core of my work.
After Dr. Kim So-eun conducted a skin assessment for me, she recommended that I start with a stem cell regeneration treatment. She explained that my skin problems were not simply due to a lack of firmness, but rather an overall decline in the skin’s regenerative capacity – enlarged Pores, dryness, and a dull overall complexion were all caused by this.
The treatment programs at Rubi Clinic Cheongdam are divided into several levels:
- Stem Cell Regen: Promotes the skin’s self-repair process and enhances the vitality of underlying cells. After the treatment, the skin feels more “vital” – not tight or stiff, but rather soft and supple.
- SKIN BOOSTER: Hydrates the skin and provides essential nutrients to its deeper layers. The director said that it can be used in conjunction with stem cells for doubled effects.
- Lifting series: Divided into several levels, including RESET, CORE, SIGNATURE, and ELITE, which can be selected according to the condition of one’s skin. Since my needs are moderate, the clinic director recommended that I start with CORE LIFTING.
It is particularly worth mentioning that there is a package called “RUBY LINE-UP” which combines injections, medical devices, and skincare treatments into one convenient solution, eliminating the need to visit multiple clinics repeatedly.
IV. What is it like to have a personal consultation with Director Kim So-eun at the Cheongdam RUBY Anti-aging Center?
Director Kim So-eun is a member of the South Korea Obesity Aesthetics and Body Shape Association and possesses a solid academic background. She speaks in a gentle voice but explains things very clearly—she outlines exactly what the problem is in each area, how each treatment works, and approximately when patients will start to notice results.
What impressed me most about her was that she never tried to persuade you to opt for additional treatments. When I asked her if I needed to add HIFU, she clearly stated that, given my current condition, stem cells combined with SKIN BOOSTER would be sufficient, and that HIFU would actually be unnecessary. Such doctors are really rare – those who are willing to say straight out, “You don’t need to spend this money.”
The entire consultation and treatment process took approximately 1.5 hours. The hospital director was present throughout the entire process and did not delegate any tasks to assistants. After the treatment, follow-up care instructions were provided, including detailed guidance on what to pay attention to at home.
V. What is the environment like at the Cheongdam RUBY Anti-aging Center? Let me show you around.
What I find most distinctive about this clinic is that each consultation room and treatment room has its own separate entrance. Once you enter, you are in a space that belongs solely to you—no one will come in to disturb you, and you won’t encounter other patients either.
The overall decoration is in a simple, elegant off-white tone, with soft lighting that is nowhere near the harshness of typical medical environments. The corridor features areas marked “STAFF ONLY” to separate the patient areas from those for staff, and I really like this detail. In the waiting area, there is a small sofa where patients can sit and wait, avoiding the awkwardness of standing next to the reception desk.
