When I was in Seoul last time, our schedule for that day was to visit Gyeongbokgung in the morning, take a walk in Samcheongdong in the afternoon, and then go to Gwangjang Market to eat some snacks in the evening. However, around 3 p.m., my skin started to feel dry and my makeup began to look creasy, so I decided to find a place for a quick skincare treatment. After searching online, I found that there was actually a specialized Dermatology clinic near Gyeongbokgung Station – HERITIQUE. It was only a three-minute walk away, so without hesitation, I booked a appointment for 4 p.m.
To be honest, at first I didn’t have high expectations; I thought it would just be an ordinary small clinic. But as soon as I pushed the door open, the overall atmosphere was completely beyond my expectations.
I. HERITIQUE next to Gyeongbokgung: Located in the heart of Gwanghwamun, with extremely convenient transportation.
Heriette is located on the 2nd floor of the Gwanghwamun Goryeo Building, at 91 Sinmunan-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul. You can exit from Exit 5 of the Gwanghwamun Station on Line 5 of the subway and walk forward for about 200 meters to reach it. The entire route is equipped with shaded corridors, so you don’t have to worry about getting wet in rainy weather.
The Gwanghwamun area is one of the most prestigious districts in Seoul’s city center, and it is surrounded by:
- Gyeongbokgung (3 minutes on foot)
- Sanqingdong Coffee Street (8 minutes on foot)
- Insa-dong Traditional Culture Street (10-minute walk)
- Kwangchang Market (1 subway stop / 15 minutes on foot)
After completing the cosmetic procedure, one can conveniently go to eat some blood sausage and take a stroll around the streets – the whole schedule unfolds very smoothly.
Moreover, this clinic specializes in serving foreign customers. Its official website is available in English, Japanese, and Chinese, and it also offers a WeChat account for direct contact, so there’s no need to worry about language barriers. For us Taiwanese tourists, this is definitely a great advantage.
II. Just how comprehensive is Hurietong’s range of equipment? It offers everything needed for anti-aging, scar removal, and hair removal – nothing is missing.
After entering, I paid special attention to their medical equipment. Let me be clear: the list of instruments in this clinic was even more professional than those in the assembly-line chain stores I had visited before.
Anti-aging and lifting devices
- Thermage FLX: A classic non-invasive skin tightening treatment
- Ultherapy Prime (HIFU): Focused ultrasonic waves are used to lift the fascia layer.
- Tune Face: The effect is enhanced when used in combination with HIFU.
- Re2o: Non-invasive facial Lifting
- Violet: Infrared Tightening Treatment
Pigment and flushing treatment programs
- Removal of liver spots/freckles
- Persistent pigmentation management
- Care for redness-prone skin
Acne, scars, and Pores
- Potenza (Potenza): Improves the appearance of acne scars and enlarged Pores
- Repair of acne scars
- Pores Reduction surgery care
Other treatments
- Clarity II laser hair removal
- Skin Booster
- Juvederm filling
- LDM ultrasonic skin treatment
- Drip intravenous injection therapy
This time, I had the Skin Booster treatment, which is essentially what people commonly refer to as hyaluronic acid injections. The nurse first cleaned my face, and then Director Kim Jung-yeol personally came over to check the dosage and the area to be treated. The whole process took about thirty minutes and wasn’t as painful as I had expected.
Another aspect of Huriet that left a deep impression on me was their spatial planning. The entire clinic is designed with one-on-one private treatment rooms, each of which is completely independent, eliminating the awkward situation where several people have to wait in the same large room simultaneously.
From the entrance to each area, the flow of movement is carefully arranged to be smooth and seamless.
- Entrance hall
- Waiting and resting area (the sofas are very comfortable)
- One-on-one consultation room
- Independent facial cleansing and care area
- Independent treatment room
The interior decoration follows a simple and cozy style, with warm color tones that create a completely different atmosphere from the cold, clinical feel of a regular medical office. The sofas in the waiting area are very comfortable, and the staff also offer herbal teas, making the entire experience very relaxing.
III. Director Kim Jung-yeol personally conducts consultations: A Doctor of Dermatology is in charge; no interns are performing the procedures.
I must specifically emphasize this point.
I have visited several clinics in South Korea before. When making appointments, they claimed to be “specialized doctors,” but in reality, the procedures were often carried out by nurses or interns. At Huriette, from the consultation stage to the actual treatment, President Kim Jung-yeol is personally in charge of the entire process.
President Jin holds a Doctor of Dermatology degree and is also a specialist in Dermatology. The official website states that “diagnoses are conducted by specialist dermatologists with extensive clinical experience and knowledge,” and in practice, this statement proves to be true.
Moreover, Director Jin will recommend suitable treatment plans based on each person’s skin condition and will not forcefully push expensive treatments. This time, I originally wanted to undergo Thermage treatment, but after examining my skin, the director suggested that I first try Skin Booster twice to improve my skin’s foundation before considering Thermage half a year later, as this would yield better results. This suggestion truly showed that he was thinking from the customer’s perspective, rather than just focusing on revenue generation.
IV. Glow Dermatology Environment: One-on-one private rooms, ensuring complete privacy
V. Reference prices for popular treatments at Herry Teng Dermatology (2026)

I would like to remind everyone that the prices mentioned above are for reference only.

It is recommended that you first visit a clinic for a personal consultation, so that the doctor can provide you with an accurate quote based on your specific circumstances.
