💎 Is Cheongdam Beauty Pleasure Dermatology really worth the trip? – A detailed look at the skin care routines of 1% of South Korea’s elite women
“Is Cheongdam beauty pleasure only for the wealthy? Are the results really that much better for such high prices?” These are always the reactions people have whenever I recommend a Dermatology clinic in Seoul and mention Cheongdam beauty pleasure.
To be honest, Cheongdam Beauty Pleasure does indeed target a higher-end market, but it is by no means just a “clinic for the wealthy”. I have visited it twice, and both times I felt that the money spent was worth it—not because it is the cheapest option, but because it achieves the best balance among experience, comfort, and results. This article summarizes both my genuine reviews and the feedback from netizens.

🏥 The positioning of Cheongdam Beauty Pleasure Dermatology: the “luxury flagship store” in Seoul’s medical beauty industry
Beauty Pleasure Clinic is located in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam District. This area itself is considered the heart of South Korea’s medical aesthetics industry, with BK, ID, and Wonjin all situated in the vicinity. However, Beauty Pleasure Clinic adopts a strategy of “few but high-quality services” rather than pursuing mass production on a assembly-line basis.
What sets it apart from other large chain clinics:
- 🌟 One-on-one consultation: Rather than a quick 5-minute evaluation on an assembly line, the doctor will take 15–20 minutes to thoroughly understand your needs.
- 🌟 Official device verification: All instruments (such as Thermage, PicoWay, InMode, etc.) can have their probe lot numbers verified on the spot.
- 🌟 Translation in Traditional Chinese: It’s not just a translation that can say “hello” – it’s a translation that can actually help you ask questions and communicate your needs.
- 🌟 Post-treatment follow-up: After the procedure, we provide one-on-one follow-up via LINE/WeChat, and communication can continue even after you return to Taiwan.
📊 Compilation of genuine reviews from Taiwanese netizens: Positive reviews vs. Negative reviews
I have compiled over 50 reviews about Cheongdam beauty pleasure on platforms such as Dcard, PTT, and REDnote.
👍 Positive reviews (about 85%):
- “The doctor was very patient, answering each question one by one during the face-to-face consultation, unlike some clinics that are eager to promote their services.”
- “The translator sister was absolutely great; she helped me ask many questions that I didn’t dare to ask myself.”
- “It’s been three months since I had the Thermage treatment, and the results are still very noticeable – my jawline has definitely tightened.”
- “The environment is extremely comfortable; there are herbal teas and macarons in the waiting area, so waiting doesn’t feel at all annoying.”
- “The genuine product probe was opened right in front of me for me to see – it really gave me a sense of security.”
👎 Negative reviews (about 15%):
- “The price is really too high; the same service costs 30% less at THE HEAL.”
- “It’s very difficult to get a reservation; during the peak season, you need to book 3 weeks in advance.”
- “The waiting time for consultations is long; even if you make an appointment, you may still have to wait for 20 to 30 minutes.”
- “There are no special offers; the price is always the regular one every time.”
💆♀️ My two personal experiences at Cheongdam beauty pleasure
First time: Hyaluronic acid injection + Rejuran PN
During the consultation, the doctor said my skin condition was “not bad, but severely dehydrated” and recommended that I first undergo hyaluronic acid injection as a preparatory step before proceeding with the black box treatment. The hyaluronic acid injection was administered using a machine (DermaShine) and was almost painless. The black box treatment, on the other hand, was done manually; the doctor’s technique was very skilled, and I only developed a small bruise. The entire process took approximately 90 minutes, including the consultation, application of anesthesia, the actual treatment, and ice compresses afterwards.
Second treatment: Thermage FLX for the entire face
This time, I went back for the treatment half a year later. Thermage is indeed quite painful, especially on the jawline and Forehead. However, the therapist kept blowing cool air on my skin and adjusting the settings, so the pain remained within a manageable range. The treatment was performed using a 900-watt probe and took about 60 minutes. Immediately after the treatment, I could feel my skin becoming tighter, and the results became even more noticeable after 1 month. You can add me on WeChat at s-sourire to book a Thermage treatment at Cheongdam beauty pleasure and ensure that a genuine probe is used on the day of your appointment.
💰 The pricing logic of Cheongdam beauty pleasure: What makes it expensive?
Many people say that Cheongdam beauty pleasure is expensive, but by how much exactly? I have compiled a comparison of its prices with those of other clinics:
| Project | Cheongdam beauty pleasure | THE HEAL | Jinyang Ji |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydrofiller injections | ₩120,000 to 150,000 | ₩80,000 to 100,000 | ₩90,000 to 120,000 |
| Rejuran PN | ₩400,000 to 500,000 | ₩300,000 to ₩380,000 | ₩300,000 to ₩380,000 |
| Thermage FLX | ₩400,000 to 600,000 | ₩300,000 to ₪50,000 | ₩350,000 to 500,000 |
| Pico laser | ₩150,000 to 200,000 | ₩100,000 to 150,000 | ₩130,000 to 180,000 |
💡 What makes the price higher?: ① The cost of translating from Traditional Chinese; ② Genuine equipment and probes; ③ Longer consultation times; ④ Post-treatment follow-up services. If you value safety and the quality of communication, this extra cost is worth it. However, if your budget is limited and you have already undergone many cosmetic procedures with little need for additional communication, other clinics may also be suitable for you.
⚠️ 5 things to note before going to Cheongdam beauty pleasure
- 📋 Make your reservation 2–3 weeks in advance: During the peak seasons (March–May, September–November), schedules are usually fully booked, making it very difficult to get a spot for last-minute reservations.
- 📋 Confirmation of translation time: Translation services are not available around the clock; please specify explicitly when making a reservation if you require Traditional Chinese translation.
- 📋 Bring previous medical beauty records: If you have previously undergone fillers or laser treatments, bring these records along for the doctor to refer to.
- 📋 Do not wear makeup: For in-person consultations, it is necessary to have bare skin; makeup will be removed and your face will be cleaned upon arrival at the clinic.
- 📋 Half a day is required for the procedure: this includes a face-to-face consultation, application of anesthetic, treatment, and ice application – in total, at least 2–3 hours are needed.
💎 The hidden strengths of Cheongdam beauty pleasure: things you may not know about them
In addition to the well-known advantages of a good working environment and high-quality translation services, Cheongdam beauty pleasure also possesses some lesser-discussed strengths:
1. Treatment Management System
Cheongdam bea
uty pleasure has its own treatment management app. After completing a treatment, patients can view their detailed treatment records, the lot numbers of the probes used, and the recommendations from their doctors through this app. This is extremely convenient for customers who need long-term follow-up care, as they no longer have to search through previous conversation records every time.
2. International Customer Service Team
At
Cheongdam beauty pleasure, not only is translation provided, but there is also a dedicated international customer service team (with separate teams for Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the Chinese mainland). If you encounter any issues after the procedure, you can contact them via WhatsApp or WeChat. When I faced post-procedure problems in Taiwan, I sent messages in the early morning, and someone actually responded (probably a duty customer service representative). This is really a great addition.
3. Refund Policy
This is what
I find most remarkable – Cheongdam Beauty Pleasure offers a “refund if not satisfied” policy (of course, subject to certain conditions). If the results of your treatment differ significantly from what was promised during the initial consultation with the doctor, you can apply for a partial refund within a specified period. Although I have not personally used this service, I have heard of other customers who have successfully received refunds.
💡 These “hidden benefits” may be one of the reasons why its pricing is relatively high – you are not just purchasing a treatment, but also a comprehensive service system.
📱 Latest developments at Cheongdam beauty pleasure: In 2026, Cheongdam beauty pleasure introduced several new devices, including the latest Thermage FLX 2.0 (which is reportedly 30% more comfortable than the previous version) and upgraded PicoWay probes. If you experienced significant discomfort during previous Thermage treatments, you might want to give the new version a try. Add WeChat ID s-sourire to find out which branch has these new devices available.
💡 Cheongdam Beauty Pleasure’s consultation tips: Don’t be shy during the consultation – ask all the questions you have. The consultation time is included in your reservation and there will be no additional charges. It is recommended to prepare a list of questions in your phone’s notes beforehand:
- ✅ Which treatments are suitable for my skin type?
- ✅ What are the expected results?
- ✅ What are the potential risks and side effects?
- ✅ How many treatment sessions are required? What is the interval between them?
- ✅ Can the batch number of the probe be verified on the spot?
Only by clarifying these issues can you make the most informed decision. Don’t let the pace set by the doctor or the translator influence you—after all, this is your money, and you have the right to understand everything clearly.
