Among the numerous Dermatology clinics in Seoul, Heritique Dermatology Clinic, located in the heart of Gwanghwamun’s commercial district, stands out for its emphasis on “personal consultations by specialized Dermatology doctors.” This feature has attracted a large number of tourists and local customers who value the quality of treatment services. Unlike chain-based clinics with a standardized treatment process, Heritique insists that Dr. Kim Jung-yeol, who holds a Doctor of Dermatology degree, personally conducts all consultations. By combining extensive clinical expertise with state-of-the-art international equipment, the clinic offers comprehensive medical aesthetics and dermatological treatment services. This article will provide an in-depth introduction to Heritique Dermatology Clinic, including its background, main treatment programs, facilities, and how to get there, to help you plan your visit to this top-tier Dermatology clinic in Seoul’s Gwanghwamun area.
What kind of clinic is Heritique Dermatology Glow Center?
The name “Heritique” combines the words “Heritage” and “Technique”, reflecting the clinic’s commitment to preserving and passing on advanced medical techniques. The clinic is located on the 2nd floor of the Goryeo Building in Gwanghwamun, Seoul, in a conveniently accessible area – just a 3-minute walk from Gwanghwamun Station on Line 5 of the subway, making it an ideal location for foreign tourists.
Heritie does not rely on “event marketing” or “special offer packages” as its main competitive strategies. Instead, it emphasizes that each patient is personally diagnosed and treated by a specialist in Dermatology. The hospital director, Kim Jeong-yeol, holds a Doctor of Dermatology degree and has accumulated extensive clinical experience at several well-known medical institutions. He possesses profound expertise in dealing with complex skin pigmentation issues, difficult-to-treat acne scars, and the operation of high-end lifting devices.

Dean’s introduction: Dean Kim Jung-yeol
The core competitiveness of Herit lies in its founding director, Dr. Kim Jeong-yeop. Dr. Kim holds a license as a specialist in Dermatology and has obtained a Doctor of Science degree in this field. His research interests include pigment disorders, skin photoaging, and the clinical application of various laser treatments.
- Dermatology specialist (certified by the South Korea Dermatology Society)
- Dermatology PhD
- Rich clinical experience in the treatment of pigmented spots and difficult-to-treat skin discolorations
- Physicians certified to operate advanced devices such as Thermage FLX and HIFU ultrasound systems
- Has held positions at several well-known Dermatology institutions in Seoul
In the South Korea medical aesthetics market, where the “assembly line” approach is prevalent, it is relatively rare to find clinics where treatments are personally conducted by doctors with doctoral degrees. For this reason, Heritii often receives positive reviews from patients, with comments such as “meticulous examinations,” “doctors providing detailed explanations,” and “no pressure to undergo additional treatments.”
Main treatment programs
I. Lifting and anti-aging treatment programs
Lifting and tightening the skin is one of Heriti’s core strengths. The clinic has introduced a range of internationally certified, state-of-the-art devices that can be customized according to each patient’s individual facial conditions.
- Thermage FLX: Utilizes monopolar radiofrequency to deeply heat the dermis, stimulating the production of new Collagen and thereby improving issues such as skin laxity, roughness, and fine lines. The new version of the FLX device features AccuREP technology, which allows for real-time adjustment of the treatment intensity according to the specific area being treated, resulting in more precise and effective results.
- HIFU Ultherapy Prime: High-intensity focused ultrasound directly targets the SMAS fascia layer, making it one of the most effective non-invasive treatments for skin tightening. Herreti uses the new version of Ultherapy Prime, which offers greater comfort and more stable energy delivery compared to the previous model.
- TuneFace: Combining micro-focused ultrasound with multi-functional skincare treatments, this innovative therapy is highly popular among South Korean celebrities in recent years and is designed specifically for shaping the facial contours and tightening the skin.
- V-Ollet: A multi-polar radiofrequency device suitable for improving sagging in the lower face and reducing fine lines around the neck; can be used in conjunction with other rejuvenation treatments.
- Novastem (stem cell therapy): A regenerative treatment that incorporates stem cell components to aid in post-operative recovery and enhance the durability of the lifting effects.
II. Treatment of pigmentation and erythema
Dr. Jin’s doctoral research focused on the treatment of pigment disorders; therefore, removing skin pigmentation is another area of expertise for Heritie.
- Treatment for liver spots/freckles: For the common liver spots seen in East Asian women, a combination of multiple low-energy laser treatments and medication is used to avoid the risk of skin darkening.
- Treatment of Refractory Pigmentation: For stubborn pigmentation spots that do not improve despite repeated treatments, Director Kim personally evaluates each case and develops a customized treatment plan.
- Improvement of red blood vessels and skin flushing: Suitable for patients with sensitive skin or rosacea, this treatment uses pulsed glow or vascular lasers to soothe and improve the condition.
III. Treatments for Acne, Scars and Pores
- Potenza Gold Potenza Radiofrequency Therapy: By using microneedles to penetrate the skin while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy, this treatment effectively improves sunken scars (ice cone-shaped or box car-shaped), enlarged Pores, and uneven skin texture.
- Acne treatment programs: For cases ranging from mild comedones to moderate to severe inflammatory acne, we offer comprehensive solutions that combine medication therapy with laser treatments.
- Pores Reduction surgery: By combining various lasers with skin care devices, this treatment helps to address the problem of enlarged Pores and makes the skin smoother and more delicate.
IV. Body beauty and other services
- Hair removal (Clarity2 laser): Clarity2 is the world’s first dual-wavelength hair removal laser, combining an Alexandrite wavelength of 755nm with a Nd:YAG wavelength of 1064nm. It is suitable for various skin types and hair textures, offering high efficiency with minimal side effects.
- Skin Care: This includes various deep-skincare treatments such as LDM ultrasonic therapy, Ionzyme iontophoresis, and CryoCell cryogenic tightening. These treatments are suitable for use as post-treatment soothing therapies or for routine maintenance on their own.
- Infusion Therapy: To meet the needs of fatigue recovery, immune system enhancement, and skin whitening, personalized intravenous infusion treatment plans are provided.
Clinic environment and facilities
Heritie Dermatology is located on the 2nd floor of the Goryeo Building at Guanghua Gate. The overall decoration features a simple and modern style, with a well-organized space layout and clear divisions, including:
- Service Front Desk and Waiting Area: Spacious and well-lit front desks and comfortable waiting areas, with staff available to provide consultation services in Chinese (please confirm in advance).
- Private consultation rooms: Each patient communicates one-on-one with the doctor in a private consultation room, ensuring privacy.
- Specialized treatment rooms: Multiple treatment rooms are equipped with advanced medical instruments, which are regularly maintained to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatments.
- Cleaning and grooming facilities: Provide clean and comfortable dressing room amenities to facilitate patients’ post-operative grooming.
Overall, although Heriti’s facilities are not as grand as those of large-scale chain Dermatology clinics, their focus on providing dedicated and meticulous service makes them an ideal choice for customers who prefer smaller, more intimate settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Does H瑞缇 offer Chinese-language services?
The clinic provides services for foreign tourists, and its official website includes a Chinese-language version. It is recommended to indicate your preference for communication in Chinese when making a reservation through BeautsGO; the platform’s customer service can assist in arranging interpretation services.
Q2: What are the differences between Thermage and HIFU, and which one is more suitable for me?
Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency energy to heat the dermis, thereby improving skin laxity and texture. Its effects are mild and suitable for people of all ages; HIFU ultrasound, on the other hand, penetrates deeper into the SMAS fascia layer, providing more noticeable contour tightening effects, making it ideal for those with more pronounced skin laxity. It is recommended to consult Dr. Kim before choosing the most appropriate treatment option based on your individual skin condition.
Q3: Is there a recovery period required after the treatment?
Most non-invasive treatments (such as Thermage, HIFU, and hyaluronic acid injections) do not require a significant recovery period after the procedure, and patients can resume their normal activities. However, after the Potenza treatment, there may be mild redness, which usually subsides on its own within 1 to 3 days. It is recommended to schedule the treatment 1 to 2 days before returning home to avoid any discomfort during the journey.
Q4: Is Gwanghwamun far from Myeongdong or Hongdae?
Not far at all. Gwanghwamun is located in the center of Seoul, about 2 subway stops away from Myeongdong on Line 4, and about 4 subway stops away from Hongdae on Line 5. The travel time by subway is less than 15 minutes in either case, making it extremely convenient for integration into your sightseeing itinerary.
Q5: How much in advance should one make a reservation?
It is recommended to make a reservation through BeautsGO 1 to 2 weeks before your trip to ensure that you can get the desired appointment time. During the peak seasons (March to May in spring, and September to November in autumn), it is advisable to book your appointment even earlier.
In summary
Heritique Dermatology in Gwanghwamun offers “personal consultations by the Dean of the Doctoral Program in Dermatology” as its core service, enabling it to distinguish itself from numerous other cosmetic clinics in Seoul. Whether it’s advanced lifting treatments such as Thermage FLX and HIFU ultrasound, the treatment of difficult-to-treat skin pigmentation, or the improvement of acne scars and Pores, Heritique provides professional and personalized medical advice.
