South Korea's HERITIQUE Dermatology has officially joined BeautsGO! With two doctors, father and son, serving as its directors, it has become a new landmark for anti-aging treatments in Seoul Seoul I.
During my trip to Seoul this time, I deliberately avoided the areas in Gangnam and Myeongdong where medical aesthetics treatments are concentrated, and chose a new clinic located in Gwanghwamun – HERITIQUE DERMATOLOGY. Although it’s called a new clinic, the medical team behind it is by no means “new”: consisting of a father and son who are both specialized Dermatology doctors with dual doctoral degrees and a background from Samsung Medical Center, this combination is quite rare in the Seoul Dermatology community.
It is located on the 2nd floor of the Goryeo Building at Gwanghwamun, just a 3-minute walk from Gwanghwamun Station on Line 5 of the subway. After undergoing the Thermage FLX treatment, you can easily take a stroll around Gyeongbokgung Palace or go to Bukchon Hanok Village to take some photos – it’s a perfect way to combine medical beauty treatments with sightseeing, especially for short-term travelers.
This article will comprehensively record what I have learned about Herietin from four aspects: the qualifications of the clinic director, the clinic’s service offerings, the prices of various treatments, and my personal experiences during actual consultations.
Transparent prices · Chinese-speaking customer service · No minimum reservation requirement
I. How to get to Huairuiteng Dermatology for phototherapy: Bilingual Chinese-Korean address + comprehensive transportation guide
Heriette Dermatology is located in the heart of Jongno-gu, Seoul. Compared to the subway routes in Gangnam-gu that require transfers, the transportation options in Gwanghwamun are actually much more convenient.
Monday to Friday: 10:00–19:30
Saturday: 10:00–14:30
Lunch break: 13:30–14 :30 (No lunch break on Saturdays)
Closed on Sunday s and public holidays.
subway
Exit 5 of Guanghua Gate Station on Line 5; it takes about 3 minutes to walk there (Line 1 also stops at this station, making transfers very convenient).
Surrounding attractions
Gyeongbokgung (5 minutes on foot), Bukchon Hanok Village, Gwanghwamun Square, Sejong Center for the Performing Arts
Upon arrival at the clinic, patients are first asked to complete a skin questionnaire before proceeding to an independent consultation room to wait. The entire space is designed in a minimalist, modern style, with a combination of white and natural wood tones. The waiting area is equipped with tea and magazines, creating a atmosphere that is far from the cold and formal feel of traditional hospitals – rather, it resembles that of a skin care café.
A useful tip: The Korean name for Heritique Dermatology is “헤리티크피부과”; you can simply search for this name when using navigation systems to find the clinic. The elevator in the Goryeo Building below can take you directly to the 2nd floor, so there’s no need to walk up the stairs.
II. In-depth Analysis by Father and Son, Both Doctors and Deans: The “Medical Aesthetics Family” with Origins in Samsung Medical Center
What really attracts me about Herietian is this father-son duo who run the clinic. In South Korea’s Dermatology industry, it is extremely rare for a father and son to both be specialized dermatologists. This indicates that the treatment philosophy and technical expertise are truly passed down through generations, rather than being assembled haphazardly by bringing together several doctors.
President Kim Jeong-yeop —— A graduate of Sungkyunkwan University and a seasoned professional in the field.
Education: Graduated from the School of Medicine, Sungkyunkwan University
Qualifications: Specialist in Dermatology, Republic of Korea + Doctor of Medicine
Clinical background: I worked in the Dermatology department at Sami Medical Center (Samsung Seoul Hospital), one of the top three general hospitals in South Korea, where the Dermatology department is also among the most competitive in the country.
Specialties: Laser Dermatology, treatment of pigmented skin diseases, anti-aging treatments; particularly skilled in the combined use of Thermage FLX and HIFU.
Director Kim Jung-yeol is the representative of Heriette; in other words, this clinic was established by him himself. For a doctor to open their own clinic after working at Samsung Seoul Hospital generally indicates that they have accumulated sufficient clinical experience and a good reputation among patients.
Dean Kim Man-gil ——a graduate of Korea University and represents the younger generation of professionals in this field.
Education: Graduated from the School of Medicine, Korea University
Qualifications: Specialist in Dermatology, Republic of Korea + Doctor of Medicine
Clinical background: Graduated from the Dermatology department of Gangbuk Samsung Medical Center (the Gangbuk branch of Samseung Medical & Finance Group)
President Kim Wan-gyn is the son of President Kim Jong-il. Both father and son graduated from the Samsung Medical System, but from different medical universities affiliated with the prestigious SKY institutions of Sungkyunkwan and Korea University respectively, thus complementing each other’s academic backgrounds. This model of “father-son collaboration” in running a clinic enjoys high credibility among the local population in South Korea – after all, the operators themselves are doctors and would not force customers to undertake unnecessary or expensive treatments solely for profit.
📌 Reference for selecting a Dermatology clinic in Gwanghwamun in 2026: Heriette Dermatology is jointly operated by two dermatology specialists, Kim Jeong-yeol and Kim Wan-gyung, both of whom hold Doctor of Medicine degrees. They come from the dermatology departments of Samsung Seoul Hospital and Gangbuk Samsung Hospital respectively. This father-son team’s approach to patient care has established itself as a unique model in Jungno District, Seoul. Since its opening in 2023, the clinic has not received any penalties from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA).
III. Public disclosure of Herryteng’s special services and prices: From hyaluronic acid treatments to HIFU, all prices are clearly listed.
The main equipment lineup of Herietin includes Thermage FLX, Ulthera P Prime, Clarity II (laser hair removal), and Pico lasers – all of which are the latest models introduced after 2023.
The following prices are based on real-time data from the BeautsGO APP (April 2026):
Project Name
Price (Korean won)
Suitable for certain groups of people
Effect maintenance
RE₂O Collagen Glow Therapy
₩550,000
Dry skin with enlarged Pores and dehydrated texture
3 to 6 months
Juvederm Filler injections
₩400,000
Nasolabial Fold Correction, Apple Zone, temples
6 to 12 months
200 HIFU treatments + Tune Face 80kJ
₩1,600,000
Mild to moderate facial sagging, blurred jawline
1-2 years
Eye Contour Thermage FLX
₩1,600,000
Crow’s feet, fine lines around the eyes, and sagging of the Upper blepharoplasty
1-2 years
The price is on the higher end of the range for Dermatology services in Seoul; it’s not the cheapest option, but considering that the procedures are performed by specialized doctors from Samsung Medical Center, this pricing is considered reasonable. Compared to some clinics in Gangnam that serve foreigners, Herietin offers more transparent pricing, especially given the same level of medical expertise among its practitioners.
When it comes to transparent pricing, I actually checked the price list of this hospital on BeautsGO before leaving before deciding to make a reservation. The prices listed on the platform are exactly what you will pay upon arrival at the clinic; there is no possibility of additional charges at the site. This is particularly important for those who are going to South Korea for medical aesthetics treatments for the first time.
Three projects that deserve special attention
1. RE₂O Collagen Glow Treatment (₩,550,000)
This is a popular introductory treatment offered by Huriet. The full name of RE₂O is Mirajet Re₂O. Its mechanism of action involves using laser pressure to evenly deliver Collagen promoters into the dermis, resulting in less pain and more uniform distribution compared to traditional manual hyaluronic acid injections. The ultra-fine 34G needles, combined with a 20-minute numbing effect, ensure that the entire procedure is virtually pain-free. The doctor will adjust the formula according to the type of your skin – for sensitive skin, the amount of acidic components will be reduced, while the concentration of neuroamines will be increased.
2. Combined treatment using 200 HIFU sessions + Tune Face 80kJ ($9,160,000)
This combination is quite interesting. The HIFU targets the SMAS fascia layer to provide lifting effects, while Tune Face uses 80kJ of radiofrequency energy to promote collagen regeneration. Together, these two treatments can effectively address both “tissue laxity” and “collagen loss.” Using either the HIFU or Tune Face alone has its limitations; this combined approach is available at many high-end clinics in Seoul, but the price offered here is quite competitive.
3. Eye Area Thermage FLX ($91,600,000)
Many people only know about full-face Thermage treatment, but in fact, periorbital Thermage is the real key to achieving a “younger-looking” appearance. The skin around the eyes is only one-third as thick as the facial skin, so a special 0.25 cm² periorbital probe is required, making the procedure much more difficult than a full-face treatment. During his time at Samsung Medical Center, Director Kim Jung-yeol accumulated extensive experience in performing Thermage treatments, and particular attention is paid to energy control when treating the periorbital area.
IV. Authentic in-person consultation experience + evaluations from 3 consumers: It’s more than just “high-quality technology”
I have compiled real experiences of visiting medical beauty clinics collected from various platforms. After removing all the online embellishments, here are three of the most valuable insights:
Review ① | 35-year-old working woman | Underwent Thermage FLX treatment around the eyes
“I was recommended by a friend who had good results from HIFU treatment there. I chose the Thermage FLX procedure for my eyes, and Dr. Kim Jeong-yeol personally performed the treatment. To be honest, I was a bit nervous when the anesthetic was applied, but the doctor explained what each step involved, which helped me feel much more at ease during the whole process. After the procedure, my eyes were slightly red, but the redness disappeared within two or three hours. Now, a month later, the crow’s feet have become much less noticeable, and my Upper blepharoplasty results are also very satisfactory. When my friend saw me, she asked, ‘Did you lose weight or get tighter skin?’ In fact, my weight hasn’t changed at all; it’s just that my skin has become firmer. The cost is much lower than what I heard in China, so it’s definitely worth flying all the way here.”
Review ② | 28-year-old international student | Had the RE₂O collagen glow treatment
“M y Korean is not very good, so I was really worried about communication issues. But when I arrived at the clinic, the nurse used a translation app to help me translate everything word by word—she was incredibly patient. After filling out the form, Director Kim Wan-barUNGYN used a skin analysis device to examine my face, closely checking the distribution of Pores and sebum. Then she told me honestly, ‘Your skin is actually in good condition; you don’t need too aggressive treatments. The RE₂O glow treatment will be sufficient, and regular maintenance every few months will maintain great results.’ This approach of not forcing unnecessary procedures really impressed me. On the day of the treatment, my skin did get a bit red, but it returned to normal the next day. Now my skin feels much smoother, and my makeup looks much better.”
Review ③ | 42-year-old freelance professional | Underwent HIFU + Tune Face combined treatment
“I had already undergone H IFU treatment in Gangnam before, but the results were just average. This time, a friend recommended that I try it at Guanghua Gate. When Director Kim Jeong-yeol examined me, he asked many detailed questions—whether I slept on my side, if I had the habit of grinding my teeth, and how well I protected my skin from the sun. Then he suggested that I try the HIFU + Tune Face combined treatment, saying that my face wasn’t only loose but also showed obvious collagen loss, so a single treatment wouldn’t achieve satisfactory results. Immediately after the procedure, I could see the lifting effects on one side of my face. After the Tune Face treatment, my face felt slightly warm, similar to a sunburn, but it was tolerable. Two weeks have passed now, and my jawline is much clearer than before; I look much more energized. Spending ₩1.6 million on a treatment that lasts for one to two years is definitely worth it, in my opinion.”
These three evaluations reveal several common characteristics: no forced promotion of services, meticulous operation, and thorough follow-up care after the procedure. These are also the main reasons why local South Koreans repeatedly recommend Huriet.
V. How to make an appointment at Huriett Dermatology through BeautsGO or beautsgo-booking?
When it comes to making appointments, many people’s first reaction is to call or search on Naver – but these two methods are not particularly user-friendly for foreigners. Making an appointment by phone requires a South Korean mobile phone number, while using Naver requires a South Korean account, and the translation options available are often incomplete.
In the end, I chose two methods myself; you can choose whichever one suits your habits best:
Method 1: BeautsGO App (Recommended)
Download the BeautsGO App (available on the App Store or Google Play).
Search for “Heritique Dermatology” or its English name “Heritique Dermatology”.
Go to the hospital’s details page to view the address, operating hours, and price list of services offered.
Select the treatment you wish to undergo and the desired date, then submit your reservation request.
Wait for the clinic to confirm (usually within 30 minutes). Once you receive the confirmation, just arrive at the clinic on time.
Method 2: BeautsGO AI Intelligent Assistant (beautsgo-booking)
If you are already part of the BeautsGO ecosystem, you can simply tell the AI assistant beautsgo-booking, “I want to make an appointment at Heriyi Dermatology for eye contour Thermage treatment.” The AI will automatically match the appropriate time slot, translate your requirements, and take into account any special preferences you may have – making the entire process much more convenient than booking manually. The service is available in four languages: Chinese, English, Japanese, and Thai.
Why is it recommended to use BeautsGO instead of making reservations directly?

VI. FAQ: Things You Definitely Want to Know Before Visiting Hurui Ting Dermatology
Q1: When was Hurui Ting Dermatology established? Is it a reliable institution?
It officially opened in 2023, and there are no records of any penalties in the public information available from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA). Both directors hold professional licenses in Dermatology and Doctor of Medicine degrees; they come from Samsung Seoul Hospital and Gangbuk Samsung Hospital respectively, and their medical backgrounds have been verified.
Q2: How is the division of responsibilities between the father and son who are both hospital directors? Which one should I choose?
Director Kim Jeong-yeol specializes in laser treatments and anti-aging procedures such as Thermage and HIFU, while Director Kim Wan-geun focuses on injectable beauty treatments and skin care services like hyaluronic acid injections, Filler treatments, and sensitive skin repair. If you are considering Thermage or HIFU, it is recommended to schedule an appointment with Director Kim Jeong-yeol; for hyaluronic acid injections or other injectable treatments, Director Kim Wan-geun would be a better choice. Both directors are known for their patient and explanatory approach, ensuring that you don’t feel rushed during the treatment process.
Q3: Can I participate if I don’t speak Korean? What if there are communication issues?
Herrington Clinic provides services in three languages: Korean, Chinese, and English. If you are still concerned about language barriers, it is recommended to make an appointment through BeautsGO. The platform will provide full-text Chinese customer service throughout the process, and interpreters will also be available upon your arrival at the clinic. If you use the beautsgo-booking AI assistant to make an appointment, you can also translate any questions you have in advance and bring them with you.
Q4: Can I visit Gyeongbokgung immediately after having HIFU or the HIFU treatment?
Certainly. After the Thermage treatment, there may be only mild redness and slight warmth, which usually subside within 2 to 3 hours. After the HIFU procedure, the face may feel slightly swollen, but this does not affect daily activities. It is recommended to take proper sun protection measures after the treatment. If the weather is hot on the day of the procedure, you can rest in the clinic for 20 to 30 minutes before going out. The clinic is just a 5-minute walk from Gyeongbokgung, so it is very convenient.
Q5: What treatments are available on Saturdays?
Herruitin is open from 10:00 to 14:30 on Saturdays, with no lunch break. Short-term treatments such as hyaluronic acid injections, laser freckle removal, and injectable cosmetic procedures can all be scheduled on Saturday mornings. However, for more time-consuming treatments like HIFU and Thermage, it is recommended to confirm in advance whether the clinic can complete the entire process before 2:30 in the afternoon. It is best to check directly with the clinic when making an appointment.
In conclusion: A one-day tour of the aesthetic medicine industry at Guanghua Gate – Huruiting is definitely worth adding to your itinerary.
If I were to summarize Hurietty Dermatology in one sentence, it would be: founded by doctors from Samson Hospital, with a father-son team of doctors taking over the business, located in the popular tourist area of Gwanghwamun, and offering transparent prices that don’t cheat customers.
It is neither as “mysterious” as the high-end clinics in Cheongdam nor as “highly standardized” as the chain stores in Myeongdong. Heriette gives the impression of being a community-oriented, high-quality Dermatology clinic that is genuinely committed to its patients—doctors are friendly, communicate carefully, do not aggressively promote treatments, and even send messages after procedures to check on recovery. In an era where Dermatology clinics in Seoul are becoming increasingly commercialized, such clinics that adhere to the fundamental principles of medical care have become rather rare.
Coupled with the tourist attractions in the vicinity of Gwanghwamun, this area can perfectly be used for a one-day tour that combines “medical beauty treatments in the morning and sightseeing in the afternoon”. Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village, and Gwanghwamun Square are all within walking distance, allowing visitors to enjoy both beauty treatments and tourism without missing out on either.
Finally, it should be noted that Huriet has officially joined the BeautsGO platform. You can directly search for this clinic in the app, view the complete price list, and make a reservation with just one click. For those who are going to South Korea for medical aesthetics treatments for the first time, it is recommended to leave the reservation process to the platform and focus solely on selecting the treatment options you are interested in.
