Let me start with a real lesson from my friend: for the same Thermage treatment, she ended up paying twice as much.
Last month, my friend returned from Seoul, and as soon as we met, she complained to me: “I saw online in Taiwan that Thermage 300 sessions cost around ₩1.5 million, but when I went there, the price quoted was ₩3 million, with some talk of a ‘foreigner rate.’” After hearing that, I was really upset—Isn’t this exactly the kind of information gap everyone fears?
So this time, I specifically checked out the Gangnam branch of Barog Dermatology, the clinic that claims to offer “the same prices as in South Korea,” to find out whether they really have the confidence to post their price lists openly or if it’s just marketing talk. In this article, I’ll break down the latest 2026 price lists for Barog Dermatology in Gangnam, South Korea, line by line, and also compare them with those of other clinics at a similar level in Gangnam.
Who is Barog? Why does it dare to make its price list public?
Barog (바로그의원) is a well-known Dermatology chain in South Korea with 25 branches across the country. Its Gangnam branch is located on floors 2 and 3 of the Uxin Building at 410 Gangnam-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul — just a 5-minute walk from Gangnam Station. What really stands out about this clinic is its clear promise of “same prices in China and South Korea”: the pricing remains consistent across its official website, WeChat account, and in-store displays, with price lists readily available in the lobby, ensuring no hidden fees.
This transparent approach is quite similar to the one I wrote about at Apgujeong’s DM Dermatology — in both cases, the director personally examines patients instead of relying on a standardized process. At Barog’s Gangnam branch, it’s headed by representative director Park Jeong-nam (박정남). Patients start with a VISIA skin analysis upon entry, followed by a personalized treatment plan, with the core procedures all carried out personally by the director.
The price list of Busan’s Genius Dermatology also emphasizes “the same price for foreigners.” I compared the quotes from both clinics, and the logic behind it is actually the same: set fixed prices first, then rely on superior skills to stand out, rather than taking advantage of tourists by exploiting information gaps.
A Look at the Price List of Barog Dermatology in Gangnam, South Korea: Understanding Barog’s Pricing Strategy at a Glance
I’ve compared the price list of Barog Dermatology in Gangnam, South Korea, with the “average market price” of other dermatology clinics of similar standard in Gangnam. What you’ll find is a consistent pattern: basic skincare treatments are offered at promotional prices, while higher-priced phototherapy treatments are slightly cheaper than the market average. Overall, the prices fall within an 80–90% range of the average price in Seoul’s urban area.
| Project | Reference price for Barog (₩) | Average price in Gangnam market (KRW) | Price difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thermage FLX Face 300 Shots | Starting from 1,390,000 | 1,500,000–2,000,000 | Around 10–30% lower |
| 100 Sessions of the Ulthrea | Starting from 239,000 | 300,000–500,000 | Around 20–50% lower |
| Potenza for Full Face Treatment | Starting from 550,000 | 700,000–1,000,000 | Approximately 20–40% lower |
| Juvederm 1 centum core | Starting from 270,000 | 300,000–400,000 | Around 10–30% lower |
| Rejuran PN 2cc + Juvelook | Starting from 450,000 | 500,000+ | About 10% lower |
| Deep Cleaning with Tiny Bubbles | Starting from 29,000 | 40,000–60,000 | Around 30–50% lower |
If you enjoy this style of writing that “clearly explains the pricing logic,” the article on the price list for Seoul I’s NEWL LINE Dermatology follows the same approach and can be read alongside it.
Thermage, HIFU, Potenza：Where exactly does the money go for these three treatment packages?
Many people who look at the price lists of Barog’s Dermatology clinic in Gangnam, South Korea, only focus on the numbers, but what really matters is “what you can get for that amount of money.” Here are three popular treatments offered at Barog:
- Thermage FLX 300 priced at ₩1,390,000: While similar treatments in the market usually cost between ₩1.5–2 million, BARUNGYN manages to bring down the price through “personal treatment by the director + no bundled packages,” making it an ideal choice for those trying anti-aging treatments for the first time.
- Ulthrea 100 shots for ₩239,000: Ideal for shaping facial contours and reducing Double Chin. Its price is significantly lower than that of many clinics, making it a great value option for beginners looking to start with lifting treatments.
- Potenza Full-Face Treatment ₩550,000: Designed to target Pores and acne scars, it helps reduce redness quickly after treatment, making it BARO’s signature option with excellent value for money.
If you want to check out the current prices of Thermage at other clinics, you can refer to the 2026 price list from Dr.Evers’ branch in Seomyeon, Busan.

Timeline of changes after the procedure (compiled in the style of real user experiences)

| 7 days later | “A colleague asked me if I’d lost weight and if my contours looked sharper.” | Collagen begins to proliferate, defining the jawline—look stunning even without makeup. |

Who is Barog Dermatology in South Korea suitable for? These 4 groups of people have the highest CP value
✅ Who is suitable for visiting the Barog Gangnam branch?
| ✅ Perfect for visiting | ❌ Not recommended |
|---|---|
| Going to South Korea for medical aesthetics for the first time – worried about being charged the “foreigner rate” | The skin is inflamed, sunburnt, or has open wounds |
| Looking to fight aging or lift skin with a budget under ₩1.5 million | During pregnancy or breastfeeding |
| Want to take the opportunity to shop in Gangnam while scheduling your treatments | There are important events scheduled for the day, so it’s not possible to stay for the post-surgery recovery period. |
| I love the style of “transparent pricing with direct treatment by the director”. | I only want the lowest price and don’t care about the practitioner’s credentials. |
💡 Quick tip: The information above is for reference only. It’s recommended to consult via LINE first to determine if it’s suitable for you, especially if you have a history of allergies to injections.
If this is your first time trying an introductory treatment like hyaluronic acid injection, it’s a good idea to first check Shinederma’s price list at Dongdaemun Dermatology to get a clear idea of your budget, so you can compare Barog’s packages more effectively.
Conclusion: Same price in China and South Korea isn’t just a slogan — it’s the truth laid bare for you to see.
Returning to my original question—Barog dares to display price lists not because it’s the cheapest option, but because its pricing strategy holds up to comparison: it uses introductory prices for basic treatments to attract customers, offers phototherapy services at prices lower than those in the market, and builds trust through direct consultations by the clinic director. For those visiting South Korea for the first time and worried about insufficient information, such transparent pricing is in itself a source of reassurance.
