“A friend spent 250,000 won on hyaluronic acid treatments at a chain clinic in Myeongdong, while Dr. Park here performed LDM treatment for 80,000 won – and the results were actually better.”
If you also think that the prices of medical beauty treatments in South Korea are increasingly becoming a sort of “tourist trap,” then you definitely haven’t visited Haye Skin Clinic. This clinic isn’t located on the main streets of Myeongdong, it’s not a chain brand, and it doesn’t have any fancy Chinese translations on its signs. However, Director Park personally performs every single procedure at this clinic, and the prices are on average 30-40% lower than those at hospitals in the same area. I have been receiving treatments here for two years now – ranging from hyaluronic acid injections to HIFU and Pico laser treatments – and every time I return to Taiwan, my friends always ask me if I’ve secretly had my whole face reconstructed.
I had undergone laser treatments three times in Taiwan, but the results were always disappointing. A friend recommended that I go to Seoul to see Dr. Park. During our first consultation, I immediately realized that everything was different from what I had experienced in Taiwan: Dr. Park didn’t try to sell me expensive packages; instead, he carefully examined my skin and said, “Your skin’s barrier is damaged. It’s better to start with an LDM treatment to restore it first – there’s no need to spend extra money.” Those words made me a loyal customer of Haye’s clinic, and later, I even brought all the women in my family there.
💰 Complete price list for Haye Skin Clinic in 2026
| Project | Korean won price |
|---|---|
| LDM Glow Management (12 minutes) | ₩80,000 |
| HIFU (Ultraformer / 울트라포머) | ₩200,000 |
| Hydroglow injection (Injura filament needles) | ₩150,000 |
| Pico laser (Picosure / 피코슈어) | ₩180,000 |
| Potenza (Dermaheal / 더마힐) | ₩200,000 |
| Inmode Diamond Super Glow Shield (VASER Liposuction) | ₩350,000 |
| Barrier repair laser combined with LDM | ₩250,000 |
For comparison, the LDM glow treatments at Myeongdong chain stores usually cost between ₩150,000 and ₩200,000, while Haye’s service costs only ₩80,000, which is less than half of the usual price. President Park told me that they avoid large-scale marketing campaigns and do not hire influencers, so the savings are directly reflected in the prices. Moreover, they use the same Injura microneedling needles as the chain stores, and the equipment is also of the same model – so it’s definitely not the case that “cheap products are of poor quality”; rather, they have simply eliminated all marketing expenses.
🏥 Why can Haye’s prices be so low?
Before my first visit, I also wondered if they were cutting corners, but later I understood the reason.
- Non-chain operation: Director Park serves both as the director and the attending physician. There are no franchise fees, and no management commissions are charged. The clinic consists of only three treatment rooms and two nurses, resulting in extremely low labor costs.
- We do not charge additional fees to tourists: Over 70% of our customers are local residents from South Korea, and we do not raise prices just because you are a foreigner. President Park himself said, “Our price list is posted on the wall – locals and foreigners pay the same amount.”
- No promotion of ineffective packages: During the in-person consultation, Director Park will clearly tell you what treatments are necessary and which ones are not. Once, I wanted to add an expensive anti-aging treatment, but he immediately said, “You’re only 28 years old; it’s too early for that. Save that money and focus on proper skincare instead.”
- The equipment is purchased rather than rented: Both the Injura hydrodermabrasion device and the Picosure Pico device are owned by the company, so there is no need to pay rental fees on a monthly basis. This is a very common method of reducing costs in the South Korea medical aesthetics industry.
I had seen reviews before and truly advise against going ahead blindly! In the review of Lamine Clinic, it was mentioned that Lamine’s liquid lifting treatment costs ₩350,000, while Haye’s HIFU treatment is much more affordable at ₩200,000. Moreover, Director Park only applies the HIFU treatment to the areas that need it, rather than covering the entire face indiscriminately – “Save where necessary; spend where it’s worth it” is Director Park’s motto. Additionally, locals have shared some insider information about reservation procedures! The reservation process at Lamine Medical Spa also highlighted the aggressive marketing tactics used by some clinics in Myeongdong, which are completely the opposite of Director Park’s approach.
✨ Performed personally by Director Park: Every procedure involves “director-level” techniques.
Many people don’t know that in South Korea, many routine treatments in Dermatology, such as hyaluronic acid injections, LDM therapy, and microneedling, are actually performed by dermatology nurses, while the clinic directors are only responsible for more expensive procedures. However, at Haye Skin Clinic, Director Park personally performs all treatments, including the most basic LDM therapy. I have provided more detailed information on this in my review “South Korean Girls’ Secrets to Glowing Skin! Haye Skin Clinic | Director Park and the 200,000-hyaluronic-acid-injection treatment”.
The first time I underwent LDM HIFU treatment, Director Park explained while performing the procedure: “Your cheeks have some mild capillaries; the HIFU ultrasonic waves will avoid those areas and focus on the Forehead and chin instead.” Such details are usually not mentioned by therapists. Later, when I had HIFU for the Apple Zone, Director Park even designed three specific treatment lines based on my bone structure—the jawline, below the Apple Zone, and on both sides of the Forehead—each line precisely positioned to the millimeter. On the same day after the treatment, a friend noticed that “my eyes seemed bigger”; in fact, it was because the Apple Zone had been lifted, causing the shape of my eye sockets to appear different visually.
There is another thing that surprised me greatly: when Dr. Park performs Pico laser treatments, he first uses a dermoscope to determine the depth and size of each freckle before adjusting the energy settings. Different areas require different levels of energy – higher energy is used on the Forehead (due to the thicker skin), while lower energy is applied around the eyes (because the skin there is thinner). In Taiwan, the Pico laser treatments I had previously received all used a “uniform energy setting for the entire face,” which is probably why my skin ended up getting darker. Dr. Park said, “Everyone’s skin thickness is different, and even within the same face, the thickness varies significantly in different areas. Using a uniform energy setting is simply too lazy of an approach.” This statement made me deeply admire his professionalism.
🔬 In-depth analysis of popular treatments in the medical aesthetics industry: LDM hyaluronic acid therapy vs. hyaluronic acid injections
Many people fail to distinguish between LDM glow therapy and injectable glow treatments; in fact, the two are completely different. LDM uses ultrasonic waves to deliver nutrients deep into the skin, eliminating the need for injections, preventing bleeding, and resulting in zero recovery time. It is ideal for daily skincare and for those with sensitive skin. On the other hand, injectable glow treatments (using Injura microneedles) use extremely fine needles to directly inject ingredients such as Filler, vitamin C, and botulinum toxin into the dermis. While the effects are more pronounced, these treatments require a 1-2 day recovery period.
This approach of “observing first, then treating” is not very common in South Korea’s medical aesthetics industry, but Director Park insists on “not wasting customers’ money.” If you have sensitive skin or are undergoing medical aesthetics treatment for the first time, you will truly appreciate such an attitude. Later, I took my mother for a Pico laser treatment to remove freckles, and Director Park again conducted a skin examination for her. It was found that her freckles were actually nevus of Ota rather than sunspots, so she was immediately advised to seek treatment at a specialized pigment disorder clinic – such honesty is extremely rare in the medical aesthetics field.
📊 Haye vs Myeongdong Chain Stores: A True Comparison
Many people ask, “What exactly makes Haye better than chain stores?” I will compare it based on my own experience. Before going to Haye, I had a hyaluronic acid injection at a well-known chain store in Myeongdong for ₩200,000. The process went like this: the Chinese staff at the front desk were very welcoming → I filled out a questionnaire → a therapist took me to the treatment room → I received anesthesia → the therapist performed the injection → I applied a mask → and then the front desk staff recommended that I sign up for a membership card. Throughout the entire process, I never saw a doctor, and the therapist didn’t ask about my skin condition or medical history either.
However, at Haye: registration at the front desk → a 20-minute personal consultation by Director Park (skin examination + consultation) → recommendations for treatment and explanations for the reasons behind them → the procedure performed personally by Director Park → post-treatment instructions on how to care for the skin → appointment for the next follow-up visit. Although the price is only 40% of that of chain clinics, the quality of service and the professional level of medical care are definitely of a different order of magnitude.
It is also worth mentioning Haye’s post-operative follow-up care. Director Park provides free follow-up consultations on the 3rd and 7th days after the surgery, using a dermoscope to check the recovery progress. If any abnormalities are detected (such as redness or excessive peeling), he immediately adjusts the treatment plan. This responsible approach really reassures me, and it is also the reason why I always make sure to visit Haye every time I go to Seoul.

💬 Conclusion: Why should the petty bourgeoisie consider investing in Haye?
In one sentence, Haye can be described as follows: it may not be the cheapest option among roadside clinics, but among Dermatology practices run by directors of the same caliber, its prices are indeed the most reasonable. Director Park doesn’t engage in any sales tactics, doesn’t add unnecessary treatments, and doesn’t charge tourists extra—such practices are truly rare in the medical beauty areas near Myeongdong. Moreover, Director Park has a unique trait: he remembers the skin condition and treatment history of each patient. When you visit him for the second time, he will say, “The Pico treatment last time worked well; this time, let’s address the remaining spots.”

To be honest, in the several years I have been in the medical aesthetics industry in South Korea, Haye is the only clinic that has achieved a “100% customer satisfaction rate” for me. I believe every word Dr. Park says, because he never makes you spend a single unnecessary penny. If you have a limited budget but still want to find a doctor with genuine expertise, Haye is definitely the top choice in the Myeongdong area. Every time I return to Taiwan from Seoul, my friends always say that my skin has improved significantly. The secret is simple: finding the right doctor is far more important than choosing the right treatment.
