Recently, several of my friends have been asking me, “If I want to undergo cosmetic procedures in South Korea, should I go to Gangnam to wait in line, or choose a clinic in a business district like Gwanghwamun?” To be honest, Gangnam is indeed more well-known, but the prices there are also significantly higher. On the other hand, in areas like Gwanghwamun, many local office workers take advantage of their lunch breaks or after-work hours to go for treatments. The prices here are more transparent, and the services offered are of high quality without any discounts.
What I would like to share with you today is about Gwanghwamun Heritage Dermatology—a low-key but excellent clinic run by a father and son, both of whom are doctors. What surprised me the most was their transparent pricing: the official website clearly lists all the prices, so there’s no need to wait for private messages to get the details. I have compiled the latest and most complete price list for 2026; anyone looking to save some money really should bookmark this information!
I. Just how low-key is He Ruiting Dermatology in the medical aesthetics industry? With two doctors in the family, they focus on personalized treatment rather than following a standardized process.
I first heard about Heriette Dermatology when a friend from South Korea recommended it to me. She said, “This place is the secret favorite of office workers in Gwanghwamun. Both the director and his son are doctors, and the prices are clearly listed on their website – no tricks like quoting high prices first and then offering discounts.”
To be honest, I have visited so many Dermatology clinics in Seoul – some are decorated like luxury boutiques, while others resemble online beauty cafes. However, Herietin takes a different approach: professionalism, understated design, and no unnecessary flash. Their most distinctive feature is the “father-son duo of doctors”: Director Kim Jeong-yeop is a seasoned Dermatology expert, and his son, Director Kim Man-gil, also joined the team after obtaining his doctorate. It is truly rare to see such a combination in South Korea’s medical aesthetics industry.
The key point is that Heriette doesn’t follow the “assembly-line approach” common in some large-scale dermatology chains – where you enter the clinic, receive consultation from a nurse, and then the doctor gives you two injections before you leave. At Heriette, the dean personally oversees the entire process, from the initial consultation to the treatment and follow-up care – all are handled by the same doctor. For those visiting South Korea for cosmetic procedures for the first time, this level of reassurance is truly crucial.
II. Latest Price List of Herry Teng Dermatology, Guanghua Gate, 2026
Here it comes, everyone’s most concerned price list! The official website of Herieting directly publishes the complete price list (the image below is a screenshot from the official website). Moreover, when I actually went to inquire, the prices were exactly the same as those on the official website; there was no such thing as “this price is for South Koreans only, foreigners have to pay more”.
I’ve compiled the most popular treatments offered by Huriet and their approximate prices for your reference (all amounts are in Korean won; the actual fees may vary depending on the day of consultation):
| Project | Reference price (Korean won) | Around NTD |
|---|---|---|
| RE20 Hyaluronic Acid Injection | Starting from ⩉550,000 | Around NT$13,000 |
| Juvederm Filler | Starting from ⩲400,000 | Around NT$9,500 |
| 200 HIFU treatments + Tune Face 80kj | Starting from ⩱1,600,000. | Approximately NT$38,000 |
| Hot Maggi around the eyes | Starting from ⩱1,600,000. | Around NT$38,000 |
Don’t you feel that these prices are really reasonable? The RE20 hyaluronic acid injection costs ¥550,000, while Juvederm costs ¥400,000 – in Gangnam, these prices would probably be 30-50% higher. Moreover, the combination of HIFU and Tune Face (80 kj) for ¥1.6 million is truly competitive; generally, separate treatments at regular clinics would cost over ¥2 million each.
III. Why do so many locals choose the HIFU + Tune Face treatment at Kwok Wah Men Hui Dermatology?
The most popular package offered by Huriette is “HIFU 200 treatments + Tune Face 80kj”; at a price of ⩱1.6 million won, it’s truly an extremely affordable option in Seoul. I specifically asked the clinic director about the logic behind this combination. It turns out that HIFU primarily targets the SMAS fascia layer for deep lifting, while Tune Face focuses on tightening the skin from the epidermis to the dermis. Together, these two treatments achieve “deep lifting + superficial tightening” in one go.
Many clinics charge separately for these services: HIFU costs ¥1.2 million, while Tune Face costs ¥800,000, adding up to a total of ¥2 million. Heritai offers a combined package, which is very cost-effective for those looking for a comprehensive anti-aging treatment.
The Eye Area Thermage treatment is also one of their signature services, priced at ¥16 million. It uses genuine Thermage FLX probes. Director Jin particularly emphasized that the success of this treatment highly depends on the doctor’s expertise – applying too much energy can damage the tissues around the eyes, while too little energy will result in no effect. Therefore, it is essential to find an experienced doctor to perform this procedure.
IV. How do BARUNGYN Kim Jong-ye and his son Kim Wan-gi, as the co-directors of the institution, manage to retain their repeat customers?
To be honest, with so many Dermatology clinics in South Korea, why do office workers from Gwanghwamun continue to return to Herietree? I think the key lies in the combination of “father and son, both doctors”.
Director Kim Jung-yeop (김정엽) possesses decades of experience in Dermatology and is considered a senior figure in South Korea’s medical aesthetics industry. His son, Kim Man-gil (김만길), also joined the clinic after obtaining his doctorate, bringing with him more modern technologies and concepts. The combination of these two generations ensures that the clinic maintains the trust that comes with a established brand while also staying up-to-date with the latest developments in the field.
Moreover, their consultation approach is very practical. They don’t immediately ask you to undergo this or that treatment as soon as you sit down; instead, they first carefully examine your skin and tell you which treatments are truly necessary and which ones you can skip without spending any money. When my friend went there for the first time, she originally wanted to get a full-face Juvederm treatment. But Director Jin told her, “Your face shape actually only requires treatments for the Apple Zone and Nasolabial Fold Correction; doing anything else on other areas might make you look fatter.” Such selfless doctors are truly worth cherishing.
V. What is the environment like at the Huriet Dermatology clinic in Gwanghwa Gate?
Heriette is located on the 2nd floor of the Goryeo Building at Gwanghwamun. It takes only about 5 minutes to get there from Exit 8 of Gwanghwamun Station, so it’s very easy to find. The building itself is a commercial office complex, and there is a café on the ground floor where you can grab a cup of coffee while waiting.
The interior of the clinic is designed in a simple and professional style, without any excessive decorations, but it is very clean and tidy. The waiting area is small but comfortable, and the nurses are also able to communicate in basic English, making them quite friendly towards foreign patients. Although there is no Chinese-speaking staff on site, translation software can be used if necessary, so communication should not be a problem.
The treatment room is equipped with a complete range of advanced devices. The HIFU, Thermage FLX, and Tune Face systems used here are all genuine original equipment, not any kind of counterfeit versions of unknown origin. This can actually be inferred from the prices themselves – clinics that use counterfeit devices usually charge significantly lower prices, which is completely unreasonable. However, Herietin’s prices are reasonable yet not excessively low, which is precisely the pricing strategy of a legitimate clinic.
VI. FAQ on Common Issues at Hui Ting Dermatology Clinic in Guanghua Gate
Q1: Does Huriette Dermatology provide Chinese translation services
? Currently, there is no permanent Chinese translator on site, but the nurses and the director can communicate in basic English. It is recommended to prepare a few key Korean words (or use a translation app), as this should not pose any significant communication obstacles. If you are really concerned about language barriers, you can make an appointment through BeautsGO, and the platform will assist with the communication.
Q2: Is Herrytian a suitable choice for my first medical beauty treatment in South Korea? Absolutely!
At Herrytian, consultations are conducted by a father-son duo of doctors with doctoral degrees – it’s not one of those clinics where the director only appears for 30 seconds before disappearing. The same doctor handles both the consultation and the actual treatment, which provides great peace of mind for first-time visitors. Moreover, the prices are transparently displayed on their official website, so there’s no need to worry about overcharging.
Q3: What are the differences between HIFU and Thermage? Which one should I choose? Simp
ly put, HIFU focuses on “lifting” effects, targeting the SMAS fascia layer, and is suitable for people with sagging facial features or blurred contours; Thermage, on the other hand, emphasizes “tightening,” acting on the dermis layer and ideal for those with loose skin or numerous fine lines. The combination of HIFU and Tune Face offered by Herietin provides both lifting and tightening effects in one treatment, offering the best value for money. If you’re unsure, you can always consult the clinic director directly; he will provide advice based on your skin condition without trying to push any particular option on you.
Q4: How long does it take to see the results after undergoing HIFU or Thermage
? After HIFU, there is an immediate sense of tightening, but the actual effects become most noticeable around 2–3 months later, as time is needed for Collagen to regenerate. The same is true for Thermage: initial results are about 20–30%, and the optimal effects are achieved 3–6 months after treatment. The duration of these effects varies from person to person and generally lasts around 1–2 years.
Q5: What payment methods does Huriet accept? Is tax refund possible? The clinic accep
ts cash (South Korean won) and credit cards (Visa/Mastercard). Medical beauty treatments in South Korea are considered medical services, and some procedures are eligible for VAT refunds. However, the refund process must be handled at the airport; it is recommended to request the refund documents from the clinic at the time of service. For detailed tax refund regulations, please refer to the announcements issued by the South Korean customs.
Q6: How can I make an appointment at Herry Teng’s clinic in Gwang
hwamun? You can book through LINE, Gmail, or the BeautsGO platform (details and reservation buttons are available below). It is recommended to book 1–2 weeks in advance, especially if you want to see Director Kim Jeong-yeol, as his schedule is usually full. On Saturdays, the clinic is only open for half a day, so spots are even more limited, so make your reservation early.
