Must-visit place in Dongdaemun! Reviews of the heal clinic in Dongdaemun: A "non-conveyor-line" clinic that even celebrities sneak into – the skills here are truly reliable!

Why do so many BYULs prefer to visit the Dongdaemun branch of The Heal Clinic?

You may not know that, in addition to shopping for clothes at Dongdaemun, there is also a secret anti-aging clinic hidden there – the Dongdaemun branch of The Heal Clinic. Although this branch is not as well-known as the main Gangnam branch, it has an excellent reputation in the industry. It is said that many artists and internet celebrities who shoot films in the vicinity of Dongdaemun take advantage of their breaks to sneak in for some treatments.

Today, I will reveal the true face of this “hidden gem of a boutique”.

Detailed information about the Dongdaemun branch of the Heal Clinic

📍 Address: 8F, No. 56, Chungwu-ro 4-gil, Jung, Seoul (2 minutes’ walk from Exit 13 of Dongdaemun Historical and Cultural Park Station)

🚇 Transportation Guide:

• From Exit 13 of the “Dongdaemun Historical and Cultural Park Station” on Lines 2, 4, and 5 of the subway, walk straight for 50 meters, then turn left into Jungwu-ro 4-gil, and head to the 8th floor of the building.
• It’s only about a 15-minute walk from Myeongdong, so it’s very convenient to go get a facial treatment after shopping around there.
• Take the AREX from Incheon Airport to Seoul Station and then transfer to Line 4, which takes about 1 hour.

🕒 Business hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00-19:00 (Closed on Sundays)

What are the differences between the Dongdaemun branch and the Gangnam branch of the Heal Clinic?

Many people have asked me: How much difference is there between the Dongdaemun branch and the Gangnam main campus? I have been to both, so to be honest…

Comparison items	Dongdaemun Branch	Gangnam Campus
The dean makes on-site consultations.	Every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday	Every day (except Sundays)
Equipment classification	Synchronized with our hospital	The most advanced model
Price	10-15% lower than that of our hospital.	Maximum
Difficulty in making appointments	Medium (about 1-2 weeks)	Difficult period (2-4 weeks)
Environmental style	Modern simplicity	Luxurious and cozy
Who is it suitable for?	One-stop service for shopping and medical aesthetics	Traveling specifically for in-depth treatment

Here’s the key point: The medical team and facilities at the Dongdaemun branch adhere to the same standards as those at the main campus; the only difference is that the director of the Dongdaemun branch is available for consultations on fewer days. If you are interested in standardized anti-aging treatments such as Titanium Lifting, HIFU ultrasound, or Pico laser therapy, the Dongdaemun branch is an excellent choice, and the prices are even more affordable.

I had the treatment at the Dongdaemun branch of The Heal Clinic.

🎯 The treatment this time: PicoSure Pico laser + Asce+ Exosomes hyaluronic acid injection (upgraded version)
💰 Cost: Pic
o laser treatment costs 190,000 Korean won, and the hyaluronic acid injection costs 180,000 Korean won, totaling 370,000 Korean won (approximately NT$9,990 / HK$2,368).

📝 A complete record of the entire process, from reservation to departure:

Report at the venue by 14:00.

As soon as I entered the place, I was immediately warmed by the smiles of the receptionists. Although the Dongdaemun branch is not large, it is very bright and comfortable. After filling out some basic information, I was directed to the waiting area. The waiting area is equipped with charging sockets (what considerate!), free Wi-Fi, and the latest South Korean magazines for readers to browse.

14:10 Skin examination

A comprehensive scan was conducted using the VISIA skin analysis device. The doctor – this time it was Dr. Lee Ji-won, a female in her late 30s who was gentle yet professional – explained each of my skin issues in detail: pigmentation deposits in the epidermis, enlarged Pores, and slight signs of aging, as well as overall low moisture levels in my skin.

14:25 In-person consultation + development of a treatment plan

Dr. Li recommended that I first undergo Pico treatment for freckle reduction, followed by Asce+ Exosomes for hydration and repair. She specifically emphasized, “After the Pico treatment, the skin will have minor injuries, and Asce+ Exosomes can accelerate the healing process; combining the two treatments will achieve the best results.” I found her advice very practical and realistic, unlike some expensive treatments frequently promoted by certain clinics.

14:45 Apply the anesthetic ointment.

It was applied for approximately 25 minutes. During that time, staff members brought over honey lemonade and small snacks. Yes, you read that right—snacks were provided. Such attention to detail truly makes one feel valued.

Pico treatment begins at 15:10.

Dr. Li performed the procedure herself – this is very important. As she worked, she explained to me what was being done in each specific area. The level of pain was approximately 4-5 out of 10; the area near the cheekbones was particularly sensitive. The entire process took about 20 minutes.

15:30 Hyaluronic acid injection

The German DERMASHINE injection device is used, along with a nine-barbed needle. Dr. Li stated that the concentration of active ingredients in this treatment is five times that of regular hyaluronic acid injections. During the injection process, there is only a slight sensation similar to that of an ant bite, which is completely within an acceptable range.

15:45: Post-treatment care + departure from the clinic

After applying the repair mask for 15 minutes, the receptionist provided me with detailed instructions on post-treatment precautions and also gave me a sample pack of post-treatment care products (repair cream + sunscreen + one mask). The entire process took less than 2 hours, but the experience was as relaxing as a spa treatment.

In conclusion: Is the Heal Clinic at Dongdaemun worth visiting?

If you are planning a shopping trip to South Korea (especially focusing on the Dongdaemun/Myeongdong areas), I highly recommend adding the Dongdaemun branch of The Heal Clinic to your itinerary. The reason is quite simple:

1. Excellent location – after visiting the Dongdaemun market/DOOTA, you can head straight to the clinic without wasting any time at all.
2. Quality is guaranteed – meeting the same standards as our main hospital; it is not a counterfeit branch.
3. Reasonable prices: 10-15% cheaper than those of our hospital. The money saved can even be used to enjoy an extra barbecue meal.
4. Exceptional experience – from the environment to the doctors to the post-operative care, every aspect meets the highest standards of quality.
5. Non-assembly line approach: Control the flow of customers, ensuring that each guest has sufficient time and attention.

The only drawback is that the director is not always on site, but if your treatment does not require the director’s personal involvement (such as Pico treatments, hyaluronic acid injections, or basic anti-aging procedures), then the attending physicians at the branch clinic are more than capable of handling them.
