💎 Why is Cheongdam Beauty Pleasure Dermatology so popular in the Gangnam area?
If you search for “Dermatology in Cheongdam-dong” on Naver, you will find that Apgujeong beauty pleasure ranks among the top in terms of reviews. This clinic has been operating on Apgujeong-ro in Gangnam District, Seoul, for several years. It didn’t become popular through extensive advertising but rather through the word-of-mouth of its regular customers. While waiting for my appointment, I met a woman who had flown all the way from Tokyo just to receive Thermage treatment; she said this was already her fourth time coming back.
The biggest selling point of Cheongdam beauty pleasure is its “high cost-performance ratio in the luxury area.” Everyone knows how expensive the rent in Cheongdam-dong is, but the prices at this clinic are much more transparent than those at many Hongdae clinics. The prices for Filler are clearly listed, without any discriminatory pricing based on the customer. Moreover, the clinic’s director, Huang Zhihou, has a background in injection therapy and uses over 3,000 units of Filler per year – a volume that is considered extremely high among Dermatology clinics in South Korea.
💡 In my opinion, if you have a limited budget but still want to find a reliable clinic, Cheongdam Beauty Pleasure is one of the best value-for-money options in the Gangnam district of Seoul.

🩺 The experience of visiting Cheongdam beauty pleasure Dermatology: the entire process from appointment to post-treatment care
This is my second time at beauty pleasure in Cheongdam. The first time was half a year ago, when I underwent Juvelook Tear trough correction; this time, I came back for Thermage FLX treatment. Both experiences were very positive, so I would like to share the entire process with you:
💬 How to make an appointment
Just add me on WeChat at s-sourire, and send me the treatments you want to undergo as well as the estimated start date. They will help you confirm the schedule and arrange Chinese translation services if necessary. If you have many treatments to schedule, you can first send photos of your bare face so that the doctor can assess them in advance, which will save you a lot of time during the actual consultation. There is no charge for making an appointment, and it’s also possible to cancel it at any time – the system is very flexible.
📱 If it’s inconvenient to use WeChat, you can also use the BeautsGO platform. Simply select the clinic, treatment opti
on, and desired time slot on the platform and submit your application. The entire process is conducted in Traditional Chinese, and the prices are transparent – there are no additional fees charged by intermediaries, making it an ideal option for those who prefer not to use WeChat.
🩺 In-person consultation at th
e clinic
You can get there by walking for about 5 minutes after exiting the “Apgujeong Roda Station” on the Bundang Line. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by the receptionist, who will use translation software to confirm the purpose of your visit and any previous medical history you may have. Then, Director Huang Zhihou will conduct a personal consultation with you. He will examine your bone structure and muscle patterns by touch and also use dermoscopes and elasticity testing devices for further evaluation. During my consultation this time, it lasted approximately 30 minutes, and the director recommended a treatment plan involving 600 sessions for my entire face, with a focus on strengthening the jawline area.
⚡ Treatment Process
The nur
se first led me through the steps of removing makeup, washing my face, and applying numbing cream (a total of 40 minutes). Once in the treatment room, the doctor removed the Thermage FLX probe in front of my eyes; I saw him scan a QR code to verify that it was an authentic device, which really reassured me. During the treatment, each pulse consisted of both cold gas and vibration. The lower jaw area felt pain at a level of about 7 on a scale of 1 to 10, while the cheeks experienced pain at around 4 on the same scale—overall, the discomfort was tolerable.
🧴 Post-treatment Care
After
the procedure, I applied a soothing facial mask and received LED light therapy for 20 minutes. The nurse provided me with a post-treatment care guide, which included instructions such as avoiding hot water for 24 hours and not going to the sauna for a week. Before I left, they also gave me a box of post-procedure recovery masks, which was really thoughtful of them.
👨⚕️ What about the medical team at Cheongdam beauty pleasure Dermatology?
At Cheongdam beauty pleasure, it is not a model where one director has absolute authority; instead, each area is managed by a dedicated director. In my recent experiences, I have had the opportunity to work with two such directors.
1️⃣ Director Huang Zhihou – the expert in injections
Men who recei
ve over 3,000 Filler injections per year credited him with developing the “multiple small-dose injection technique.” I had my Tear trough correction done by him last time; his technique is so gentle that there was almost no bruising. His approach to injections aims for a natural look, avoiding any obvious signs of filler treatment and striving instead for a “natural-looking result.”
2️⃣ Director Specializing in Laser and Phototh
ermal Treatments
The Thermage, HIFU, and Pico laser treatments are all managed by another director. He adjusts the energy parameters based on the pre-treatment skin examination reports, with precision down to 0.1. Instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach, I noticed that during my Thermage treatment, the energy level varied in different areas of my face, which matched the thickness of those regions perfectly.
💡 It is recommended that you directly ask the director, “How many cases of this procedure have you performed so far?” during your in-person consultation. South Korean doctors will not mind such a question, and an experienced director will answer you with confidence.
⚠️ What should I pay attention to when going to Cheongdam beauty pleasure Dermatology?
🚇 Transportation: Exit from Exit 2 of “Apgujeong Rodaero Station” on the Bundang Line of the subway, then walk along Apgujeong-ro in the direction of the Galleria department store for about 5 minutes. The clinic is located in a two-story building; its sign is not very large, but Google Maps provides accurate directions.
📅 Booking recommendations: For popular treatments such as Thermage and HIFU, it is recommended to book at least 2 weeks in advance. For basic treatments like glow injections and skin care, a booking 3–5 days in advance is sufficient. Weekends tend to see a high demand for slots, so it is best to try to schedule on weekdays if possible.
💳 Payment methods: Cash or South Korea credit cards are both accepted. Some services allow installment payments. For Taiwanese visitors, paying in cash is generally the most convenient option, as you can simply pay in Korean won.
🗣️ Language: The clinic provides Chinese-speaking interpreters (who will be arranged when making a reservation via WeChat). If you visit without making a prior reservation, there may be some communication difficulties, so it is recommended to book in advance.
📱 Post-treatment follow-up: The clinic will monitor your recovery progress through KakaoTalk. However, if you are an international patient, it is recommended that you add WeChat at s-sourire directly. This way, you can ask any questions at any time after the procedure, without being affected by time differences.
❓ Common questions about Cheongdam Beauty Pleasure Dermatology
Q: What treatment is recommended for first-time visitors?
A: For
those new to the aesthetic medicine industry, it is recommended to start with hyaluronic acid injections or basic skin care treatments to experience the quality of services provided by the clinic. Juvelook’s Tear trough correction is also highly recommended; it offers good cost-effectiveness and quick results.
Q: Compared with other Dermatology clinics in Gangnam, what are the advantages of Cheongdam beauty pleasure?
A: Trans
parent pricing + experienced director + on-site verification of the injection equipment. Many clinics in Gangnam do not disclose their prices; you only find out how much it will cost once you visit. Cheongdam beauty pleasure provides clear reference prices on its website, and its director has extensive experience in performing such injections.
Q: Is it possible to undergo multiple treatments on the same da
y?
A: It depends on whether there are any conflicts between the treatments. Hyaluronic acid injections and Juvelook can be done on the same day, but it is recommended to wait at least 2 weeks between Thermage and Pico treatments. During the consultation, your doctor will help you arrange the treatments in a reasonable order.
