Every time I search “Korean dermatology prices” on REDnote, the results always show quotes from high-end clinics—prices starting from 1 million Korean won, which really scare people. But in reality, there are many “hidden” dermatology clinics in Seoul with reasonable prices and good results; they just don’t get as much attention. Today, I’ll reveal the actual prices of two such clinics: Chang Dermatology (a boutique clinic in Cheongdam-dong) and you&me Dermatology (a cost-effective option in Gangnam).
This article is not an advertisement. It’s a price comparison based on the quotes I received after visiting two clinics in person. All the figures were obtained during actual consultations in March 2026 and are provided for your reference.
I. Comparison of the basic profiles of the two dermatology clinics
| Comparison items | Chang Dermatology | you&me Dermatology |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Cheongdam-dong, Seoul | Gangnam, Seoul |
| Type | Niche and premium options (operating for less than 3 years) | Value-for-money options (with special discounts for first-time customers) |
| Signature treatments | Personalized treatment plans and skin care services | Hydrofacial injections, lasers, basic skin care |
| Price range | Mid-to-high-end (400,000–1,200,000 KRW per treatment) | Mid-to-low-end (150,000–600,000 KRW per treatment) |
| First-time customer discounts | Yes (around 20% off) | Available (with discounts of about 50-70%, significant savings). |
| Chinese-language services available. | Translation requires prior reservation. | Chinese-speaking consultation services are provided. |
| Who it is suitable for? | People who want to find niche, high-quality stores and avoid long queues. | Those with limited budgets or who are doing cosmetic procedures for the first time. |
II. Chang Dermatology: A hidden gem in Cheongtan-dong.
Chang Dermatology is located in Cheongtan-dong, but unlike the flashy signs of large-scale clinics, it remains quite low-key—so much so that you might pass by without even noticing it if you don’t look specifically for it. It is said to be run by several doctors who previously worked at larger clinics, and their focus is on “personalized skin care.” They don’t aim for high foot traffic; instead, they take the time to conduct in-depth analyses for each patient before developing a treatment plan.
Chang Dermatology: The consultation process.
I arrived at 2 p.m., and there were only me and another customer in the clinic. The receptionist greeted us in simple English. I had reserved a translator through BeautsGO in advance, so communication was no problem. The doctor spent about 25 minutes analyzing my skin and asked many questions about my lifestyle habits—my routine, diet, skincare products I use, and any previous treatments I had received. They were more detailed than what other clinics usually ask.
Your skin barrier is somewhat damaged, so it’s not recommended to undergo too many treatments at once. We will start with basic repairs first, and you can consider laser trea
tment after two months.
— Dr. Chang from Chang Dermatology
This statement really increased my goodwill towards this clinic. Many clinics would encourage you to have five treatments at once to boost sales, but the doctor at Chang Dermatology actually advised against it, which shows that they truly care about their customers’ well-being.
Chang Dermatology: The quotation received
| Treatment | Original price (in ten thousand Korean won) | First-time discount price (in ten thousand Korean won) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personalized skin care (including consultation) | 45 | 36 | Includes VISIA detection + repair essence treatment |
| Hydrating needle therapy (basic) | 55 | 44 | Korean brand injectables |
| Picosecond laser treatment (for the entire face) | 90 | 72 | Includes a soothing facial mask |
| HIFU (lower half of the face) | 120 | 96 | Ultra-high-end equipment |
| Personalized packages (testing + management + hydration) | 95 | 68 | Director’s recommended package |
III. you&me Dermatology: The king of value for money in Jiangnan
you&me Dermatology, located near Jiangnan Station, is a typical popular clinic on REDnote. The prices are very transparent; you can see the cost of each treatment on their official website. Moreover, new customers receive significant discounts, which is quite rare among dermatology clinics in Korea—many only tell you about these discounts after the initial consultation.
you&me Dermatology: The Consultation Process
The experience at this clinic was completely different from that at Chang Dermatology — there were significantly more patients here, with five or six people waiting in the waiting area. The front desk staff could speak Chinese, so communication was seamless. The consultation itself took about 10 minutes; the doctor directly asked what I wanted to have done and then gave me a quote. The process was fairly quick, without too much in-depth analysis, but it wasn’t at all perfunctory either.
you&me Dermatology: The Quote Received
| Service | Original Price (in ten thousand Korean won) | First-Time Discounted Price (in ten thousand Korean won) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydrating Needle Treatment (Basic) | 40 | 18 | New customers get 45% off |
| Picosecond laser treatment for the entire face | 60 | 35 | Includes a soothing facial mask |
| Basic skin care | 25 | 15 | Cleaning + preparation + facial mask |
| Laser whitening treatment | 55 | 30 | IPL equipment |
| Hydrating treatment + management services + mask package | 60 | 28 | Popular packages, please reserve in advance |
| Picosecond treatment + hydrating treatment combination | 95 | 48 | Approximately 50% off |
IV. Direct price comparison for the same service
For your convenience in comparing prices, I have prepared a comparison table for the services offered by both companies:
| Service | Chang Dermatology (initial price) | you&me (initial price) | Price difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydrating needle therapy (basic package) | 440,000 Korean won | 180,000 Korean won | you&me is 59% cheaper! |
| Picosecond laser treatment for the entire face | 720,000 Korean won | 350,000 Korean won | you&me is 51% cheaper! |
| Basic skin care | 360,000 Korean won | 150,000 Korean won | you&me is 58% cheaper! |
The numbers speak for themselves: the prices at you&me are approximately 40-50% of those at Chang Dermatology. But low prices don’t necessarily mean good value—let’s analyze the cost-effectiveness next.
V. Considerations Other Than Price: Cost-Effectiveness Analysis

VI. Real User Reviews
I had two skin treatments at Chang Dermatology, and each time the doctor adjusted the treatment plan based on my current skin condition—so it wasn’t always the same. Although the prices are a bit higher than other clinics, I felt that I was truly recei
ving personalized care, which was worth it.
— Taiwanese user, 31 years old, January 2026
You&Me offers great value for money. The hyaluronic acid injections cost 180,000 Korean won, which is about the same as what it would cost me in Taiwan to get similar treatment. However, the consultation was too quick; I felt like the doctor didn’t take much time to examine my face. This clinic is suitable
for people who already know what they want to do.
— Malaysian user, 27 years old, February 2026
Personally, I first go to You&Me for basic skincare treatments (which are affordable), and then I go to Chang Dermatology for more specialized procedures. Using both clinics together saves money
while still ensuring high quality care.

VII. My Conclusion: Where Is the Best Value for Money?
| Your situation | Recommendations | Suggestions |
|---|---|---|
| Budget of up to 200,000 Korean won | you&me Dermatology | First-time treatments for hyaluronic acid injections or picosecond lasers at great prices |
| Looking for a highly personalized treatment plan | Chang Dermatology | High-quality in-person consultations and customized treatment plans |
| First time getting cosmetic procedures | you&me Dermatology | Low prices, low entry barriers, and low costs of trial and error |
| Skin problems can be quite complex | Chang Dermatology | Doctors conduct thorough analyses and do not push unnecessary treatments on patients |
| Multiple trips to Korea in pursuit of quality | Chang Dermatology | Long-term follow-up and management make it trustworthy |
| Just want to spend a little money on skincare | you&me Dermatology | Just 150,000 Korean won is enough for basic management. |

IX. Frequently Asked Questions

A: Yes. The prices at Korean dermatology clinics are usually adjusted quarterly, and considering exchange rate fluctuations, it is recommended to refer to the actual prices during the consultation. The prices listed above are for March 2026.
Q2: Can the first-time discount only be used once?
A: Basically, yes. You&me’s new customer discount is limited to the first visit. Chang Dermatology sometimes offers return discounts, so you can check the latest promotions on the BeautsGO platform.
Q3: Is it possible to try both clinics before making a decision?
A: Of course. It is recommended to schedule a free consultation first and then listen to the recommendations from both doctors before deciding. If you book through BeautsGO, it is possible to schedule appointments for both clinics on the same day.
X. Finally
To sum it up in one sentence: You&me wins on price, while Chang Dermatology wins on quality. If your budget is limited, You&me’s first-time discount is indeed very attractive—180,000 Korean won for hyaluronic acid injections is quite affordable in Seoul. However, if you are looking for more professional consultations and personalized treatment plans, spending a bit more at Chang Dermatology might be more cost-effective in the long run.
