Registered with the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare to treat foreign patients — certificate M-2024-01-08-7718, issued by the Mayor of Seoul.
Consultations are conducted directly by Dr. Shin in English. Front-desk staff communicate with international patients through translation, and Japanese- and Chinese-speaking staff are on site.
Appointment-only. Same-week slots are usually available; peak season should be booked further ahead.
Overseas credit cards and cash accepted. Medical certificates issued on request for insurance or visa purposes.
Sinsa-dong, Gangnam — the Dosan Park district, walking distance from Apgujeong Rodeo Station.
Registration as a medical institution for foreign patients is a licence granted under Korea's Act on Support for Overseas Expansion of Healthcare System and Attraction of International Patients. It can be verified against the registration number above.
Most energy-based lifting can be performed on the day of consultation if a slot is available, but it is better not to plan it for the day before a flight.
Ultherapy and Thermage leave little visible trace, though mild swelling or tenderness for one to three days is normal. Injectable treatments — filler in particular — can bruise, and a week between treatment and any significant event is a sensible margin. Laser toning and resurfacing carry a short period of redness or flaking depending on the setting used.
If your schedule in Seoul is tight, say so during the consultation. The plan can be sequenced around it, and where a treatment genuinely should not be compressed into your available window, you will be told rather than sold.
Every plan begins with a one-to-one consultation. Tell us what you want to change and we will tell you honestly what is worth doing — and what is not.
