👨⚕️ How long does it take to schedule a consultation with JD at the Dermatology department for an Ulthrea treatment performed by the director himself?
JD Dermatology is considered a representative of the “director personally performing all procedures” approach in the HIFU and radiofrequency treatment markets of Gangnam, Seoul. I have seen many discussions about JD Dermatology on PTT and Dcard, and the general consensus is that “the director at JD is truly professional; she performs the entire HIFU procedure herself, unlike some clinics where the nurse just does the work and then leaves.”
This time, I scheduled 600 sessions of the Ulthrea at JD Dermatology. There are two questions I really want to know: “How long will it take for the director to perform the treatment personally?” and “Is there any additional charge for tourists?”

⚠️ Additional charges for tourists? JD Dermatology makes its policies public
This is one of the issues that concern me the most. Before making the appointment, I specifically contacted JD Dermatology via WeChat to inquire.
Q: Are there any additional charges for foreign tourists (Taiwanese people)?
The response from the JD Dermatology customer service was very clear: “We charge all patients at the same rate; there is no rule that requires foreigners to pay more.”
After arriving at the store, I confirmed this: during the payment process, there was no such thing as an “extra fee for foreigners”; the bill was exactly the same as the charging standards for local South Koreans.
👨⚕️ Introduction to the jd Dermatology Department’s leadership team
Background of the two directors of JD Dermatology:
1️⃣ Representative Director: Specializing in HIFU and radiofrequency anti-aging treatments, the director’s approach is characterized by “ultrasonic imaging as a precursor to treatment.” Before each procedure, ultrasonic waves are used to determine the location and thickness of your fascia layer, after which the energy parameters are determined accordingly.
2️⃣ Deputy Director: Specializes in injection treatments and skin laser therapies. If you are undergoing HIFU treatment and would also like to consult about Rejuran or Filler, you can schedule a consultation together.
🔍 JD vs other Gangnam HIFU clinics: The differences lie in the direct involvement of the clinic directors themselves.
In the Gangnam area, there are not many clinics that offer “direct treatment by the clinic director”. In many such clinics, “direct treatment by the clinic director” actually means that “the nurse performs the procedure, and the director merely takes a brief look afterwards”. jd’s approach is different: the clinic director personally operates the HIFU device throughout the entire process, while the nurse is only responsible for assisting with the preparatory work.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
🤔 Q: Is 600 sessions enough?
✅ A: 600 sessions repre
sent the basic dosage for maintenance; it is suitable for those undergoing HIFU for the first time or those who need only mild contour improvement. If you desire more noticeable results, you can increase the number of sessions to 800-1000.
😤 Q: Is it very painful during the injection
?
✅ A: The pain is more noticeable in the lower jaw and neck area, while the cheeks experience relatively less discomfort. JD uses adequate numbing agents, so the overall pain level is tolerable.
