🔥 ₩150,000 (approximately NT$3,600) for liquid lifting treatments – is this price really reasonable?
Let me give you the answer first: it’s true. The price of the liquid lift treatment at the Hongdae branch of S Reborn Clinic Korea in 2026 is ₩150,000. However, there are several key prerequisites you need to know before going there; otherwise, your visit might be in vain.
First, this price corresponds to a special package exclusively designed for the director of the clinic; it can only be administered by the director himself/herself. If performed by other doctors, the cost will be higher. Second, this is a limited-price offer available only at the Hongdae branch, while the price at the Gangnam branch is approximately 30-40% higher. Third, due to language barriers, Taiwanese customers need to make reservations through specific channels in order to take advantage of this offer; simply going there for a consultation may not guarantee them this price.
In this article, I will thoroughly analyze the details of SWOMAN’s liquid lifting treatment package at the Hongdae branch of S Reborn, the background of its director, tips for making appointments, and also compare its prices with those of other clinics.
What is the background of the Hongdae branch of S Reborn Clinic?
SWOMAN S Reborn Clinic may not be the most well-known in South Korea’s cosmetic surgery industry, but it has excelled in its positioning as “the affordable cosmetic surgery option of choice for young people.” The Hongdae branch is one of their flagship stores, targeting primarily Korean youths aged 20 to 35, as well as foreign tourists who come to South Korea for cosmetic procedures.
Compared to the Dermatology clinics in Gangnam that charge starting from ₩500,000, SWOMAN’s pricing strategy is quite “down-to-earth.” They avoid fancy decorations and celebrity endorsements, preferring to invest in hiring experienced directors and using high-quality original medical supplies. The director in charge has over 8 years of clinical experience in South Korea’s Dermatology field. Previously working at a large medical aesthetics institution in Gangnam, he later joined SWOMAN and led the team at their Hongdae clinic.
The geographical location of the Hongdae store is also a major advantage – it is situated in the heart of the Hongdae shopping district, just a 3-minute walk from the Hongdae entrance station on Line 2 of the subway. After completing the treatment, visitors can directly go to Hongdae to shop and dine, which is extremely convenient for medical beauty treatments that are part of a travel itinerary.
🧪 What is liquid lifting, and how does it differ from traditional linear lifting?
The term “Liquid Lifting” is quite common in the South Korea cosmetic surgery industry, but many people are unclear about what it actually entails. In fact, “Liquid Lifting” is not a single treatment option, but rather the name of a comprehensive treatment package that usually includes the following components:
- Filler injections: Supportive fillers are injected into areas such as the Apple Zone, Nasolabial Fold Correction, and temples to reshape the facial contours.
- Botulinum toxin: It relaxes the muscles that pull on the skin (such as the corrugator muscles and temporal muscles), thereby enhancing the durability of the lifting effects.
- Collagen proliferation agents (included in some treatments): such as Sculptra or Juvelook, which stimulate collagen production over the long term.
The biggest difference compared to Thread Lifting is that Liquid Lifting does not require surgery or the insertion of threads; it is entirely accomplished through injections. It carries lower risks and has a shorter recovery period, but the degree of Lifting achieved is not as noticeable as with Thread Lifting. If you are simply looking to achieve the effect of looking 3-5 years younger, Liquid Lifting is more than sufficient.
If you want to learn more about the experience of Linear Lifting, you can refer to the appointments at ON Dermatology (Ligament Strengthening); it provides detailed comparisons of different Linear Lifting methods.
📋 S Reborn ₩150,000 – Details of the Liquid Lifting Treatment Package
The following details the specific content of the liquid lifting treatment package offered by the Hongdae branch in 2026 (as confirmed during consultation):
| Project content | Details |
|---|---|
| Filler injection | 2 centum cores (original Revanesse products from South Korea or equivalent brands) |
| Botulinum toxin | 100 treatments (Forehead frowning wrinkles removal + temporal muscle relaxation) |
| Applicable areas | Apple Zone + Nasolabial Fold Correction + Forehead (can be adjusted upon consultation with the clinic director) |
| Operation time | Approximately 30 to 40 minutes |
| Anesthesia | Topical anesthetic ointment (no need for injection anesthesia) |
| Time required for swelling to subside | 1-2 days (injections for reducing swelling take effect very quickly). |
The key to this treatment plan lies in the combination of 2 centum cores of Filler and 100 units of botulinum toxin. In Gangnam District, the cost of 2 centum cores of Filler alone ranges from ₩120,000 to ₩150,000, while 100 units of botulinum toxin cost approximately ₩80,000 to ₩100,000. Together, these two treatments cost around ₩250,000 to ₩300,000 on the market. However, the SWOMAN Hongdae store’s offer of ₩150,000 for this package is equivalent to a discount of about 50%.
📊 Price comparison of SWOMAN Reborn versus other clinics’ liquid lifting treatments
| clinic | Price of liquid lifting therapy | Approximately NT dollars | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| S Reborn Hongdae Store | ₩150,000 | NT$3,600 | Minimum price, in a prime location in Hongdae |
| Haye | ₩250,000 | NT$6,000 | President Park provided an accurate analysis. |
| KARIN | ₩220,000 | NT$5,280 | Director Cui’s gentle techniques |
| LIJIN | ₩300,000 | NT$7,200 | President Li has completely transformed the style of the industry. |
| barog Gangnam | ₩350,000 | NT$8,400 | The Gangnam area and brand premium values |
As can be clearly seen from the table, the price of ₩150,000 for the S Reborn Hongdae store is indeed the lowest in the market. Of course, a low price does not necessarily mean poor quality – S Reborn uses Filler and botulinum toxin products manufactured by official South Korean manufacturers, and the director in charge has sufficient experience. The main differences in price are due to the location (Hongdae versus Gangnam) and the brand’s premium image.

💱 Exclusive reservation tips for Taiwanese: How to ensure you get the price of ₩150,000?
This is the most important part. Although the SWOMAN Reborn plan priced at ₩150,000 does actually exist, not everyone is able to access it directly. Here are some key tips:
- It is necessary to specify the Hongdae store: the same package at the Gangnam store costs ₩220,000, which is nearly ₩70,000 more expensive. Please make sure to reserve at the Hongdae store when making your reservation.
- It is necessary to specify that you wish to see the representative director: Only by booking with the representative director can you enjoy the exclusive package priced at ₩150,000. If you are assigned to another doctor, the price will be higher. When making a reservation, simply mention the “Representative Director’s Liquid Lifting Treatment Package”.
- Making an appointment through SWOMAN: This is the most reliable way. Search for SWOMAN on WeChat and send the message “S Reborn Hongdae Store Liquid Lifting”. SWOMAN will directly help you schedule a consultation with the chief physician, ensuring that you get the exclusive price. In addition, they also provide Chinese translation services throughout the process, so you don’t have to worry about dealing with Korean language at all.
- It is recommended to make an appointment at least one week in advance: The schedule of the director representing the clinic is usually full, especially on weekends. It is advised to book at least one week in advance; during peak seasons (such as the summer vacation or at the end of the year), it is better to reserve a spot two weeks in advance.
- For more information and prices, search for “BeautsGO” on WeChat and enter “S Reborn” or “S Ribbon” to view the latest quotes and discounts. Sometimes, the platform offers additional discounts.
🧠 Who is suitable for liquid lifting?
Liquid Lifting is particularly suitable for the following groups of people:
- Young and middle-aged individuals aged 25-40: Those whose faces have begun to show mild sagging and fine lines, but who do not yet need to undergo surgical facelifts.
- First time trying medical beauty treatments: Liquid lifting has low risks and quick recovery times, making it an excellent entry-level option.
- Limited budget: The price of ₩150,000 is considered very affordable in the field of medical aesthetics in South Korea.
- If your travel time is limited: You can return to your normal activities the day after the procedure, without needing to stay extra days for recovery.
Suitable for: People with severe facial sagging (it is recommended to undergo linear lifting or surgical facelifts); those who have overly high expectations regarding the effects of injections (the Lifting effect of liquid lifting is limited); pregnant or breastfeeding women.
📞 How to make an appointment for S Reborn (two methods)
Route A: Direct connection via WeChat to s-sourire
Search for and add “s-sourire” on WeChat, and send the message “S Reborn – Hongdae Branch’s Representative Director’s Liquid Lifting Treatment”. s-sourire offers one-on-one pre-treatment evaluations, real-time inquiries about the schedule of the representative director, exclusive internal prices, and free Chinese translation services during the treatment. This option is highly recommended as it ensures that you can get the exclusive price of ₩150,000.
Path B: BeautsGO – Beauty for All (mini-program)
Search for “BeautsGO” on WeChat and enter “S Reborn” or “S Ribbon Clinic” to make a reservation directly. Advantages of the BeautsGO platform: transparent price comparisons, platform-exclusive discounts, and a certified green channel for reservations. It is recommended that you try both methods to see which one offers better benefits.
📝 Summary: Is SWOMAN’s S Reborn product worth the price of ₩150,000? Does its liquid lifting effect live up to the cost?
If you meet the criteria of being young, having a limited budget, undergoing cosmetic procedures for the first time, and having a tight schedule for traveling, then SWOMAN’s ₩150,000 Liquid Lifting treatment at the Hongdae branch is definitely the best value option for cosmetic procedures in Seoul. The price is so low that it’s almost unbelievable, but the materials used and the skills of the director are definitely genuine.
The only risk is that it’s very difficult to get a schedule slot— appointments with the director are particularly in high demand. It is recommended to book through s-sourire as soon as your travel plans are confirmed, rather than waiting until you arrive in South Korea, as you may have to wait for several days before a slot becomes available.

🗺️ Hongdae vs Gangnam: Which area should you choose for your first cosmetic surgery experience in South Korea?
📍 Advantages of Hongdae CDU
Hongdae is the area in Seoul where the largest concentration of young people can be found, and S Reborn is located here. The advantages are obvious: the prices in this area are 20-30% lower than those in Gangnam, there are numerous and affordable accommodation options available, and the atmosphere in cafes where patients can rest after treatment is very relaxed. Hongdae is also the preferred location for young Korean doctors to start their own practices, which means that the techniques offered are state-of-the-art and the prices are competitive. Many of the practitioners who open clinics in Hongdae have previously worked at well-known clinics in Gangnam, so they have a solid technical foundation.
📍 Advantages of Gangnam CDU
Gangnam is the established and traditional area in South Korea’s medical aesthetics industry, boasting the most comprehensive facilities and physicians with the greatest expertise. If you need to undergo major surgeries or a combination of different treatments, the scale and equipment of clinics in Gangnam indeed offer significant advantages. However, the prices are also significantly higher—for the same liquid lifting treatment, the cost in Gangnam may be 100,000 to 200,000 South Korean won more expensive than in Hongdae.
💡 How to choose? It depends on the specific treatment you need.
For non-surgical treatments (fillers, lifting procedures, Pico treatments, HIFU), Hongdae is sufficient; the money saved can be used to afford an additional treatment. For surgical procedures (bone removal, Double eyelid surgery, revision rhinoplasty), it is recommended to go to Gangnam, where the equipment and emergency response systems are more advanced. For those experiencing medical aesthetics for the first time, Hongdae offers less stress, making it a good place to start.
The Hongdae branch of SWOMAN Reborn boasts a very high CP value in non-surgical treatments. The price of 150,000 Korean won for the liquid lifting treatment is virtually unmatched by any other clinic in Gangnam that offers similar techniques. Moreover, the Hongdae area is extremely convenient for shopping and dining, making it ideal for post-treatment rest in nearby cafes – resulting in a much better overall experience compared to Gangnam.
💳 Practical information around Hongdae
Exit 9 of Line 2 at Hongdae Station, and it takes only a 3-minute walk to reach SWOMAN. Recommended cafes in the vicinity include PAIK’S COFFEE (affordable large cups) and CONSTANCE (a quiet environment perfect for resting after treatment). For dining, Benjuzu (an ideal light meal after treatment) and the Myeongdong Dumpling Hongdae branch are highly recommended. For accommodation, consider staying at a guesthouse near Hongdae Station or using Airbnb; you can find decent options for around 2,000–4,000 Taiwanese dollars per night, which is much cheaper than staying in Gangnam.
