Several of my friends who returned from South Korea all mentioned that their skin had improved. When I asked them which clinic they went to, they would simply say “the one in Gangnam” or “the one in Hongdae,” but couldn’t provide the specific names. As someone who has been researching Korean cosmetic surgery information in Taiwan for three years, I can tell you that going to Seoul for skin treatment is not something you can just do casually and expect good results.
It’s already 2026, and more and more Taiwanese women are going to Seoul for medical beauty treatments. However, issues such as language barriers, uncertainty about which clinics are reliable, and concerns about being treated in a standardized, assembly-line-style setting are problems that I believe everyone has encountered. In today’s article, we have compiled a list of “8 recommended Dermatology clinics in Seoul chosen by Taiwanese people.” There are several clinics in each of the Gangnam, Myeongdong, and Hongdae areas that make this list; all of them offer Chinese-speaking services, do not use a standardized treatment process, and involve in-person consultations with doctors.
Information sources include real reviews from Taiwanese users on Creatrip, popular discussions on the Verybeaut forum, and recommendations from netizens on the Dcard Medical Beauty section. The selection criteria were as follows:
① Services are available in both Chinese and foreign languages.
② Non-assembly-line treatment procedures
③ Personal consultation with a doctor
④ Real post-operative reviews consistently reflect positive feedback.
The following order is not intended to indicate any ranking; it is merely arranged for ease of reading based on regional considerations.
I. Three locations in Gangnam District – The areas selected by Taiwanese as the heart of Seoul’s medical aesthetics industry
Gangnam is the area in Seoul where medical beauty services are most concentrated, and it is also the first place that most Taiwanese tourists think of when considering visiting Seoul for medical beauty treatments. The following three clinics are those that appear most frequently in the discussion forums for Taiwanese users.
① Jayjun Plastic Surgery & Dermatology Clinic (Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam)
Jayjun has always enjoyed a solid reputation in Taiwan, mainly due to the positive feedback surrounding Dr. Park Jong-jun’s anti-aging treatment programs. Friends who have visited his clinic have all said that the doctor customizes the treatment plan according to each patient’s specific facial conditions, rather than offering a standard set of services where patients can simply choose from pre-defined options.
Combining Thermage with HIFU on the same day is Jayjun’s signature treatment. In 2026, this combination continued to generate significant interest on Taiwanese platforms such as Dcard and Threads. The clinic boasts both plastic surgery and Dermatology departments, offering a comprehensive range of surgical and minimally invasive treatments.
② Lianjang Gangnam Store (13th Floor, Building A, Jiaobao Building)
Lienjang is a relatively established local chain of plastic surgery and Dermatology clinics in South Korea, with branches located in Gangnam, Hongdae, and Myeongdong in Seoul. The Gangnam branch boasts a convenient location (13th floor, Building A, Kyodai Campus; direct access via the subway Kyodai Station), and it offers both plastic surgery services and Dermatology treatments, covering a wide range of procedures.
In 2026, the combination treatment of Potenza and Inmode FORMA/FX from lienjang became very popular in Taiwanese discussion forums. Many Taiwanese women who had undergone this treatment said that the cost-performance ratio was high, the equipment was modern, and the doctors had extensive experience.
③ Vands Sinsa Hospital (597 Gangnam-daero, Sinsa)
Vands Sinsa is a newly established Dermatology clinic in Taiwan during the 2025-2026 period. It has gained a good reputation by operating on a non-conveyor-line basis, providing personalized services to patients. The clinic is located within a building on Gangnam Da-ro in Sinsa District. Although its location is unassuming, the environment is very clean. The management team insists that doctors conduct personal consultations for each patient before formulating treatment plans.
Vands Sinsa focuses on comprehensive skin management, offering everything from basic hydration treatments to advanced anti-aging procedures – perfect for girls who want to see a thorough improvement in their skin condition, rather than just undergoing a single treatment. In 2026, SKIN BOOSTER and the Collagen SWOMAN were among the services that received the most inquiries.
II. Two options in the Myeongdong area: direct airport transfer and convenient beauty treatments while shopping
The greatest advantage of Myeongdong is its direct connection to Gimpo Airport – after shopping, visitors can go straight for a facial treatment, which is extremely cost-effective for those with limited time.
④ Myeongdong DayBeau (The Premium Exquisite Experience)
The DayBeau Myeongdong store belongs to the “The Premium” series and focuses on providing a refined experience, which is completely different from the mass-produced service model. This salon offers private individual treatment rooms, ensuring high levels of privacy. Many Taiwanese tourists specifically schedule an afternoon at this store when they come to shop in Myeongdong, so that they can continue their shopping activities without wasting any time.
In 2026, the DayBeau store in Myeongdong continued to generate significant discussion on Taiwanese forums such as Threads and Dcard, with customers praising its “good environment, professional doctors, and no unnecessary sales pitches.” For girls visiting South Korea for cosmetic procedures for the first time, DayBeau in Myeongdong is considered one of the easiest options to get started.
⑤ Apr-31 Plastic Surgery Department (Exit 7, Hedong Station)
431 is a relatively low-profile clinic specializing in plastic surgery and Dermatology, but it has a fairly good reputation on the Taiwanese forum Threads. The biggest advantage of this clinic is that it offers evening consultations until 20:00 on Tuesdays, which is very convenient for tourists whose daytime schedules are already full.
The plastic surgery background of Apr-31 enables them to provide more refined micro-plastic surgery and anti-aging treatments, rather than relying solely on standard procedures using medical equipment. Chinese-speaking services are also available, but it is recommended to make a reservation in advance, as there may not necessarily be staff who speak Chinese on-site.
III. Hongdae Area 2 – The choice for youthfulness, vitality, and great value for money
Hongdae is a place where young people gather, and the medical beauty clinics there have a more vibrant style. The prices are also more affordable compared to those in Gangnam, making it ideal for tourists who are going to South Korea for medical beauty treatments for the first time and want to experience the local market.
⑥ Hongdae DayBeau (4th Floor, Shangjin Building, No. 165 Yanghua Road)
The Hongdae DayBeau store is part of the same brand as the Myeongdong store, but it has a different vibe. The Hongdae store is located on the 4th floor of the Sangjin Building on Yanghwa-ro, surrounded by cafes and trendy fashion areas – making it perfect to stroll around after a beauty treatment.
Different from the “exquisite and experiential” style of the Myeongdong store, the Hongdae store has a more “relaxed and everyday” atmosphere. Many Taiwanese students and frequent visitors prefer this store, as it offers a better value for money. It also provides private rooms and Chinese-speaking services.
⑦ Gangnam DayBeau (Sinsa, Nonhyeon-dong)
Gangnam DayBeau is positioned between Hongdae and Myeongdong – more professional than Hongdae and more affordable than Myeongdong. Located in the Sinsa Nonhyeon area, it offers a quiet environment, making it ideal for visitors who wish to dedicate a full half-day to their treatment.
The institution is qualified to offer both plastic surgery and Dermatology services. It is open from Monday to Friday until 9 p.m. and also on Saturdays and Sundays, making it very convenient for travelers with irregular travel schedules.
IV. In Gangnam District, another option will be added – the first choice for those with special needs.
⑧ 365MC Hospital (Exit 12, Seocho Gyodae Station)
365MC is a rather unique institution – its main focus is liposuction and body contouring, with facial skin care not being their core service. But why do we recommend it? Because many Taiwanese women who have visited there say that if you are someone who “wants to undergo a complete body transformation in one go”, 365MC offers an excellent value for money, and its post-operative support services are also very comprehensive.
They also offer facial anti-aging treatments, but compared to other Dermatology clinics, 365MC’s facial services are more like “additional services.” It is recommended to specify your needs when making a reservation through BeautsGO in advance to confirm which doctor will be available on that day.
