🏥 Introduction to PPEUM Clinic (쁘띠의원)
PPEUM Clinic (쁘띠의원 / Pruti Dermatology) is a rapidly expanding chain of dermatology clinics in South Korea. Known for its “international services” and “high cost-performance ratio,” it has gained a good reputation among tourists from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia. Different from the established dermatology clinics in Gangnam that focus on high-end services, PPEUM has a very clear mission: to make it easy for foreigners to schedule appointments, ensure smooth communication, and guarantee transparent pricing.
Currently, PPEUM has 5 branches in South Korea, located in Seoul Gangnam (headquarters), Hongdae, Busan, Jeju, and Suwon. These locations cover most of the cities in South Korea where Taiwanese tourists commonly go for medical beauty treatments. Whether you come to Seoul for a short trip and take the opportunity to get some treatments, or fly specifically to Busan or Jeju for medical procedures, you can find a PPEUM branch nearby.
The characteristics of PPEUM in South Korea’s medical aesthetics industry can be summarized in three key terms: chain operation scale, Chinese-language services, and affordable prices. For Taiwanese people who are going to South Korea for medical aesthetics treatments for the first time and want to avoid potential pitfalls, PPEUM represents a low-risk and highly reliable option.
💎 The main services offered by PPEUM Clinic
The treatment programs offered by PPEUM cover a complete range of services, from basic skincare to advanced anti-aging treatments. Below are the most popular services among Taiwanese clients:
✨ Thermage FLX (Thermage FLX / Oligo Flex)
Thermage is one of the flagship treatments at PPEUM. It uses the fifth-generation FLX probe to act on the dermis, promoting the production of Collagen and helping to reduce facial sagging, wrinkles, and blurred jawlines. The price of Thermage at PPEUM in Gangnam District is quite competitive, and with the provision of Chinese-language interpretation throughout the treatment, it has become the top choice for many Taiwanese guests looking to experience South Korean cosmetic treatments for the first time. For more information about the actual effects of Thermage, you can refer to the reviews of Lumiin Thermage FLX.
🧠 HIFU (Ultherapy / Ultrasonic Knife)
The HIFU uses focused ultrasonic waves to heat the SMAS fascia layer, thereby Lifting the facial contours from within. PPEUM provides genuine Ultherapy HIFU devices, and the clinic director will adjust the number of treatments and the depth according to the individual’s degree of sagging. If you are troubled by Nasolabial Fold Correction, Double Chin, or a blurred jawline, the HIFU is a better option than Thermage for achieving Lifting results.
💫 Botulinum toxin (Botox / 보톡스)
Botox is a basic treatment in the field of medical aesthetics in South Korea. PPEUM uses Botox from the American company Allergan and Botulax/Nabota from the South Korean company Medytox. Common applications include facial slimming (by injecting Botulinum toxin into the Masseter), Wrinkle Removal (for crow’s feet and forehead lines), and micro-injection of Botox to improve enlarged Pores and excessive sebum production. The price starts from ₩80,000, and this treatment is the most popular among PPEUM’s clients.
💠 Filler injection (Filler / 필러)
PPEUM offers a range of Filler products from South Korean and European brands, including Juvederm, Restylane, and Elravie. Common areas for treatment include the Apple Zone, Tear trough correction, Nasolabial Fold Correction, nose bridge, and chin. The clinic director will recommend the most suitable material and dosage based on your facial structure and individual needs.
🌸 Hyaluronic acid injections / Rejuran (Skin Booster / Rejuran / 리쥬란)
The Hydrating Needle Treatment is a regular maintenance treatment offered by PPEUM. It uses products such as Juvelook, Rejuran Healer/Rejuran, and Asce+ Exosomes to improve rough, dull, dry skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines. For customers who are unsure what to do but simply want to improve the condition of their skin, the Hydrating Needle Treatment is the safest and most versatile option available.
⭐ Four Key Features of PPEUM Clinic
1. A chain of five stores, with a membership system commonly used throughout South Korea
Regardless of whether you undergo treatment at the Gangnam store, Hongdae store, Busan store, or Jeju store, your treatment records and membership information are all interconnected. If you are a repeat customer, you can easily access your previous treatment records upon your second visit, allowing the director to provide more timely recommendations. This is particularly convenient for those who fly to South Korea 2-3 times a year for cosmetic treatments.
2. Excellent Chinese-language services, with no language barriers at all
Every branch of PPEUM is equipped with Chinese interpreters, ensuring that all communications – from consultation to post-treatment follow-up – are conducted in Chinese. Unlike those clinics where interpreters only appear during consultations and disappear during the treatment process, PPEUM’s interpreters remain in the treatment room to assist you in communicating with the clinic director in real time. For Taiwanese patients visiting South Korea for the first time and with no knowledge of Korean, this is an extremely reassuring feature.
3. Transparent pricing, with no hidden fees.
The project quotes of PPEUM are clearly stated during the consultation process, and there will be no situation where additional material costs are added after the service is completed. Overall, the prices in Gangnam District are considered mid-to-low range, being 20-30% cheaper than those of similar services provided by barog and Theia in the same area. However, the quality of their equipment and technical standards are no less impressive. If you value cost-performance ratio, PPEUM is a very reliable choice.
4. Follow-up services after the treatment course
After the treatment, the translators from PPEUM will proactively follow up on the recovery progress on the first and seventh days after the surgery, and send post-operative care guidelines via WeChat. In case of any abnormal reactions, you can simply take photos and send them to the translators, who will help you communicate with the hospital director regarding further arrangements.
👨⚕️ The medical team at PPEUM Clinic
PPEUM adopts the “director responsibility system,” with each branch having its own dedicated director. All directors hold a license as specialized Dermatology physicians from South Korea and have at least 5 years of clinical experience. As a chain brand, PPEUM ensures regular technical exchanges and case discussions among its directors to maintain consistent technical standards across all its branches.
If you would like to schedule a consultation with a specific director, it is recommended to confirm their availability in advance via WeChat at s-sourire to avoid the possibility of being assigned to another doctor upon arrival at the clinic.

❓ FAQ: Common Questions about PPEUM Clinic
Q1: Can appointments at PPEUM Clinic be made in Chinese?
Sure. Here are two recommended ways to make an appointment:
Option A: Add the WeChat account “s-sourire” and receive one-on-one consultation in Chinese. You can directly confirm the schedule of the director, obtain internal discount prices, and arrange for a Chinese translator to accompany you during the visit.
Option B: Make an appointment through the BeautsGO app. Search for “BeautsGO” on WeChat and enter “PPEUM” to check available appointments and place a reservation.
Q2: What is the approximate price of PPEUM? Is it more cost-effective compared to options available in Taiwan?
In Gangnam District, PPEUM offers products at mid-to-low prices. Taking Thermage as an example, the price in South Korea ranges from approximately ₩800,000 to 1,200,000 (around NT$19,200 to 28,800), while in Taiwan it is around NT$40,000 to 60,000 – meaning the cost in South Korea is nearly half lower. The price difference between Botox and Filler is even greater, with prices in South Korea usually only 30-40% of those in Taiwan. Overall, taking into account the costs of airfare and accommodation, undergoing multiple treatments in South Korea is more cost-effective than doing so in Taiwan.
Q3: This is my first time going to South Korea for cosmetic procedures. Is PPEUM a suitable option for me?
It is highly suitable. PPEUM offers comprehensive Chinese-language services, transparent pricing, and is led by a physician with extensive experience – making it an ideal choice for newcomers in the South Korea aesthetic industry. It is recommended to start with low-risk introductory treatments such as “hyaluronic acid injections + botulinum toxin” first. Once you are comfortable with the process, you can then consider more advanced options like Thermage and HIFU.
Q4: Are the standards of all PPEUM branches the same?
PPEUM is a chain brand; all its branches use the same equipment and consumables, and the directors also engage in regular technical exchanges. However, the technical approaches and areas of expertise of different directors may vary slightly. If you have a specific treatment requirement (for example, improving the Nasolabial Fold Correction), it is recommended that you confirm in advance through s-sourire which director is most experienced in that area before making your appointment.
