Let me tell you, among my friends who have undergone medical beauty treatments in South Korea, almost all of them have been talking about the same clinic recently – ELEV Private Antiaging Center. Some say that it “has more advanced equipment than many large hospitals”, others mention that “the director is extremely attentive during consultations and doesn’t follow a standardized procedure”, and still others compare it directly with several high-end clinics in Cheongdam District. At first, I thought “Is that really true?”, but after visiting the clinic myself, I realized that it indeed has some truly impressive capabilities.
Today, I will take you through in detail whether it is worth visiting the ELEV Private Antiaging Center, what its prices are like, what kind of equipment it has, and whether the director is trustworthy. After reading this, anyone who is considering anti-aging treatments will be able to make an informed decision.
I. Why have I included South Korea’s ELEV Private Antiaging Center in the “must-visit” list?
I had undergone several cosmetic procedures in Gangnam before. Some large hospitals have excellent facilities, but the procedures there are more like those in a factory; while some small clinics have proper ONDO conditions, but their equipment is inadequate. I have always been looking for a clinic with state-of-the-art equipment and advanced techniques, where you wouldn’t feel like just another number on an assembly line.
When a friend recommended ELEV Private Antiaging Center to me, she mentioned three words: “not a mass-production model.” Later, I looked it up online and found that ELEV occupies two entire floors in the K+ Medical Building in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam District— Floors 6 and 7 belong entirely to them. Just this fact alone already gives them a significant advantage over many small, obscure Dermatology clinics. Moreover, their brand positioning is very clear: they specialize in “one-on-one personalized anti-aging treatments.” All consultations are by appointment only, and each patient receives treatment in a private room.
I thought to myself: It sounds interesting, so I might as well go and take a look.
II. Comprehensive Analysis of ELEV Anti-aging Equipment: What are the second-generation Ulthrea, the fifth-generation Thermage, and Soprano Titanium?
When I went for a consultation, the director said something that left a deep impression on me: “We don’t buy equipment just because it’s popular. The criterion we use to choose equipment is its precision in treating different layers of the skin.”
To be honest, before going there, I thought it was just marketing rhetoric. But after researching their official website and their treatment pages, I realized that the combination of equipment they use indeed follows a unique logic. Here are some of their core equipment and treatments:
🔸 The second-generation American version of the HIFU device (Ultherapy Prime)
This is the feature that interests me the most during in-person consultations. The main difference between the second-generation HIFU and the first generation lies in its larger size by 35%, as well as its integration of the DeepSee real-time imaging technology, which allows for a precise visualization of the tissue structure at a depth of 8 mm beneath the skin. In simple terms, during the procedure, the doctor will be able to “see” your skin layers, rather than relying solely on experience to perform the treatment.
ELEV Private Antiaging Center is one of the first clinics in South Korea to introduce the second-generation Ulthrea, and thus enjoys certain advantages as a pioneer in this field.
🔸 Soprano Titanium Lift
This device is the flagship laser equipment produced by the Israeli company ALMA. A single machine is equipped with three different wavelengths – 1064nm, 810nm, and 755nm – which can be switched according to different skin conditions. It offers the triple benefits of whitening, tightening, and slimming the face. Many local South Koreans travel specifically to receive this treatment.
The director of ELEV Private Antiaging Center also possesses a unique “multi-layer penetration technology” that allows for precise adjustment of the combination ratio of three different wavelengths, based on the thickness and degree of skin laxity of each individual. I believe this is one of their key competitive advantages.
🔸 Five-generation Thermage FLX
There’s no need for much introduction regarding Thermage – it is a classic device in the anti-aging field. ELEV Private Antiaging Center uses the latest fifth-generation FLX probes, which offer a larger coverage area, less discomfort, and more consistent results. It is ideal for those who wish to achieve comprehensive Lifting and improve the appearance of fine lines.
🔸 Overview of other equipment
In addition to the above three main devices, ELEV Private Antiaging Center also boasts a range of other equipment, including Profound (radiofrequency microneedling for promoting Collagen regeneration), LinearG (the next-generation high-frequency RF lifting system), Densiti (powerful monopolar RF technology), EMFACE (electromagnetic waves + high-frequency dual-mode treatment for improving facial contours), InMode (for enhancing elasticity and reducing fat), and Secret RF Potenza (for Pore tightening).
To be honest, it is not very common for a Dermatology clinic in Gangnam to be equipped with so many state-of-the-art devices at the same time.
III. Latest price information for South Korea’s ELEV Private Antiaging Center’s anti-aging treatments in 2026
Regarding prices, I must clarify the following: The official website of ELEV Private Antiaging Center does not publish a price list. Many high-end clinics in South Korea operate in this way – a personalized quote will only be provided after a face-to-face consultation. The prices listed below are compiled from various sources (including third-party platforms, user reviews, and reference prices from other clinics) and are for informational purposes only. The actual price will be determined during the consultation.
| Project | Reference price (Korean won) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Second-generation Ulthrea | Starting from ⩱1,850,000 | For the entire face, DeepSee provides real-time imaging. |
| Five-generation Thermage FLX | Starting from ⩡2,700,000. | Full face treatment using the fifth-generation probe |
| Soprano Titanium | ₩1,500,000 to 2,200,000 | Three-wavelength lifting, depending on the area to be treated |
| Profound microneedling | Please visit BeautsGO for more information. | Radiofrequency microneedling and Collagen regeneration |
| EMFACE | Please visit BeautsGO for more information. | Electromagnetic waves + high-frequency dual mode |
| Juvelook Collagen Glow Toner | ₩650,000 per transaction | The effect of one dose lasts for approximately one year. |
| Ellansé DongAn Center Introduction needles | ₩800,000 to 1,200,000 | Delicate treatments improve skin quality, with natural results |
| Secret RF Potenza | Please visit BeautsGO for more information. | Pore tightening and improvement of skin quality |
You may refer to the following prices: the second-generation HIFU starts from 1.85 million Korean won, and the fifth-generation Thermage starts from 2.7 million Korean won. These prices are considered reasonable in high-end clinics in Gangnam. Some clinics may offer lower prices, but the version of the equipment and the skills of the clinic director may not be comparable.
IV. What is the background of Dr. Lee Yeon-woo and Dr. Park Hye-sun, the directors of ELEV Private Antiaging Center’s Dermatology department in South Korea?
ELEV Private Antiaging Center is headed by two directors: Director Li Yanyou and Director Park Hui-sun. Both are specialists in Dermatology with extensive expertise in the field of anti-aging treatments.
During the in-person consultation, several aspects particularly impressed me:
Firstly, they are not the kind of directors who simply do whatever the patient asks for. When I went for a consultation with Director Lee, he first asked me to sit down and then used a mirror to analyze the structure of my face, pointing out where my skin was thinner, where the sagging was more noticeable, and which areas needed additional support due to fat deposits. Based on these analyses, he suggested a combination of treatments rather than directly recommending the most expensive option.
Secondly, they emphasize “bone structure-based anti-aging” rather than “filler-based anti-aging.” I completely agree with this approach. Many clinics focus on “filling in the areas that are sunken,” resulting in a face that looks puffy and artificial. However, the philosophy of ELEV Private Antiaging Center is to start by strengthening the bone structure and use lifting and regenerative techniques to restore youthful appearance, rather than using fillers to artificially create a youthful look. When I asked the director why they insist on this approach, he said, “Because fillers can be removed, but the effects of lifting and regeneration actually change the skin’s structure.”
Thirdly, both directors personally operate every piece of equipment themselves. This does not mean that assistants perform the actual procedures while the directors are only responsible for the initial consultations; rather, from the design of the treatment plan to the actual procedure and subsequent follow-up care, everything is handled directly by the directors. Such a practice is also uncommon in high-end clinics in Gangnam – in many large clinics, directors mainly focus on performing surgeries, while Dermatology-related tasks are delegated to staff members.
V. What is the environment like at ELEV Private Antiaging Center? Let me take you around through pictures and descriptions.
The decoration of ELEV Private Antiaging Center adopts a boutique style, completely devoid of that cold, hospital-like atmosphere. Warm-colored lighting, marble materials, and comfortable sofa areas create the illusion of entering a high-end spa rather than a hospital. Each treatment room is a private booth with excellent sound insulation, ensuring that you will never encounter other guests throughout the entire process – providing maximum privacy.
Overall, the environment at ELEV Private Antiaging Center is on par with that of high-end clinics in the Gangnam area. It doesn’t give you the impression of being in some small, amateur clinic, nor is it so large that it gets confusing. With two floors and several separate treatment rooms, the reservation system ensures that you are immediately taken to your assigned room upon arrival, without having to wait outside.
