This is my third time in Seoul for skin care treatments, and I finally found this doctor’s clinic in Cheongdam-dong that doesn’t push sales or use a mass-production approach.
To be honest, when it comes to seeking medical beauty treatments in South Korea, what worries people the most isn’t the cost—it’s realizing upon arrival that the consultation lasts only 2 minutes, you can’t even see the doctor throughout the process, the prices are unclear, and you might even be treated like a “easy target for exploitation.” But my experience at NEWYOUNG Dermatology in Cheongdam completely changed my perception of dermatology clinics in South Korea. Dr. Oh Su-jun, who has a background in internal medicine, provided personalized one-on-one consultations, used ultrasound to examine the condition beneath the skin before any treatment, and offered prices that were identical to those in Korea—no hidden fees at all. In this article, we’ll take a thorough look at whether NEWYOUNG Dermatology is really worth visiting.
I. First Impression of Cheongdam NEWYOUNG Dermatology: A Boutique Doctor’s Clinic in the Heart of the Bustle
NEWYOUNG Dermatology (뉴영의원) is located in the prestigious Rodéo complex area of Cheongdam/Apgujeong in Seoul—specifically at 78-9 Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The first floor of the building houses an Alexander Wang store, while the clinic is situated on the second floor.
For the Apgujeong Rodeo show, head to Exit 3. It takes less than 2 minutes to get there. To be honest, this location itself acts as a kind of “threshold” — surrounded by high-end boutiques, fashion stores, and top-tier cosmetic clinics, it’s widely recognized in Seoul as a prime area for mid-to-high-end cosmetic treatments.
But the real surprise at NEWYOUNG awaits once you step inside: a luxurious design featuring warm beige, creamy white, and light wood tones accented with champagne gold highlights, which gives it a far cry from the cold atmosphere of traditional hospitals—more like stepping into a high-end SPA. The clinic operates on a one-client-at-a-time basis, ensuring complete silence and privacy throughout the visit, free from the crowded and hectic vibe typical of dermatology clinics in busy shopping areas.

💡 Before heading out, I usually check BeautsGO first to confirm the current business hours and the director’s schedule, so as to avoid making a wasted trip.
II. Dr. Wu Xujun, Director: Why does a physician with internal medicine expertise switching to medical aesthetics make me feel even more confident?
The key figure at Cheongdam NEWYOUNG Dermatology is Director Dr. Oh Seo Joon / 오서준. His background really impressed me—he’s not one of those doctors who graduated from some quick-fix medical aesthetics training programs.
Dr. Wu initially worked as a specialist in internal medicine in South Korea. After gaining extensive experience in medical judgment and risk assessment within the clinical healthcare system, he transitioned to the field of non-surgical cosmetic medicine. This background gives him significant advantages:
- More rigorous safety assessment: His medical training enables him to make more systematic judgments regarding medication contraindications, allergic reactions, and post-operative recovery compared to average cosmetic surgeons.
- Ultrasound scan before injection: This is NEWYOUNG’s most distinctive feature—using ultrasound to identify subcutaneous blood vessels, tissue layers, and the condition of existing fillers before proceeding with the injection. The ultrasound examination is included in the in-person consultation and comes at no extra cost.
- Embrace a natural approach to aesthetics: He emphasizes “natural rejuvenation” — not plumping up the face, but allowing the skin to regain its natural texture on its own.
- Fluent in English communication: The clinic director has international teaching experience and can communicate directly in English with clients from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas, eliminating the need for translation intermediaries.
The clinic director formerly served as the vice president of Dermaster Clinic and was the director of Abijou Clinic and Shinestar Clinic, having managed large-scale medical aesthetics networks in South Korea. He is also an official trainer for InMode’s website, a lifetime member of the South Korea Laser Dermatology and Hair Removal Association, and a full member of the South Korea Association for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and Laser Medicine, bringing extensive expertise in non-surgical anti-aging treatments.
III. Service Model: No assembly-line approach — the director provides personalized care throughout the entire process
At many popular Dermatology clinics, the process usually goes like this: a consultant conducts a quick visual assessment to give an estimate, then documents the patient’s medical history. Only after that does the patient lie down on the treatment table, and it’s at this point that the doctor enters to perform the procedure—during which time the patient has little chance to speak with the doctor. But NEWYOUNG follows a completely different approach.
From the moment you walk in until it’s over, Director Wu handles everything personally on a one-on-one basis—he conducts the consultation, performs the assessment, and carries out the procedure himself. There’s no situation where someone else does the consultation while he does the actual treatment. He takes the time to examine your facial bone structure, fat thickness, and skin aging level, then designs a treatment plan tailored to your specific goals for improvement, rather than immediately asking about your budget and pushing the most expensive package.
To be honest, my first in-person consultation took nearly 40 minutes. After carefully analyzing the condition of my face, the director suggested I start with “collagen regeneration + skin quality management” instead of the filler treatment I had originally planned. This is precisely the difference in mindset between medical doctors and cosmetic specialists: diagnose first, then treat.
IV. Official Complete Price List for Cheongdam NEWYOUNG Dermatology as of August 2026 (KRW & TWD Version)
The prices listed below are taken directly from NEWYOUNG’s official price list (August 2026 edition), organized into two comprehensive tables by treatment category. Prices remain the same for both Korean and Chinese clients, with no additional charges for foreigners. The actual amount to pay upon arrival is calculated as the listed price multiplied by 1.1 (including 10% VAT). For reference, 1 KRW is approximately equivalent to 0.024 TWD, with the final payment based on the exchange rate on the day of service.
Table A: Lifting & Anti-Aging Treatments

| Facial: 80,000 shots | 800,000 | ~19,200 | Strengthen |
※ The actual payment for anti-aging lifting treatments = List price × 1.1 (including 10% VAT). For example, the actual cost for 600 shots of Ultherapy Prime for the face is around 2,970,000 KRW (~71,300 TWD); similarly, 600 shots of Thermage FLX for the entire face also costs approximately 2,970,000 KRW (~71,300 TWD).
Table B: Skin Type Management / Glow Restoration (Skin Booster & Skin Quality)
| Project Name | Specifications/Areas Treated | KRW (South Korean Won) | Equivalent to TWD (Taiwan Dollar) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rejuran Series | Rejuran | 2cc in the Butterfly Area | Application Technique | 300,000 | ~7,200 | — |
| Rejuran i Eye Area Treatment｜1 centum core｜Application Method | 200,000 | ~4,800 | — | |

| UC100 | 2cc for Forehead | 250,000 | ~6,000 | — | |
| ※ An additional ₩20,000 (approximately +480 TWD) is charged for replacing DERMASHINE. | ||||
※ The pricing for skin texture improvement treatments remains the same in both Korea and China, with no extra charge for foreigners. All listed services include 10% VAT, and the actual amount to be paid upon arrival is the listed price multiplied by 1.1. Belotero Revive may be more expensive per treatment but provides longer-lasting results, making it suitable for skin affected by dry aging; Rejuran focuses on repair and is ideal for sensitive skin and those with damaged skin barriers.
I compared the prices of several Dermatology clinics in the Cheongdam area on BeautsGO. NEWYOUNG offers top-tier equipment (the full range of Thermage FLX, Ulthera Prime, EMFACE, and InMode), with treatments performed personally by the clinic director. While its pricing falls in the mid-to-high end, it remains reasonable—free from the inflated “Cheongdam-dong premium” often seen elsewhere.
V. Core Differentiating Advantage: Ultrasound-Guided Injection + Collagen Regeneration Approach
If I had to pick just one reason to recommend NEWYOUNG, it would be its ultrasound-assisted safe injections—a feature that’s quite rare among Dermatology clinics in Cheongdam-dong.
- Before the injection, an ultrasound scan is performed on the subcutaneous layer of the face to determine: the location and condition of any remaining old fillers, the presence of lumps or hard masses, as well as the relationship between blood vessels and tissue layers.
- It’s not “blind typing” — instead, the technician first identifies the layers before delivering precise injections. For clients who’ve had fillers done but aren’t sure about their current condition, this is truly a “peace of mind.”
- The ultrasound examination is included in the in-person consultation and comes at no extra charge (an independent ultrasound test typically costs around 200,000₩/4,800 TWD).
Additionally, NEWYOUNG’s collagen regeneration products (Rejuran, Belotero Revive, PDRN, UC100, and NEWYOUNG Hyaluronic Acid Repair) account for nearly half of its offerings. Instead of focusing on large-scale Filler injections, these products aim to help the skin regain its elasticity and glow on its own. Compared to traditional filling methods, this approach offers several advantages: more natural results, no stiffness, longer-lasting effects, and it prevents the cycle of needing more injections over time.
VI. Customer Reviews: Genuine feedback from clients from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas
Lily (Taiwan / 34 years old):
I’ve had ultrasound treatments in Taiwan a few times, but the results never lasted long. A friend recommended Dr. Wu from NEWYOUNG, saying he would use ultrasound to scan the area first before adjusting the parameters. Less than two months after getting the Ulthera Prime full-face treatment with 600 shots (priced at 2,700,000₩, or about 64,800 Taiwanese dollars), my jawline became noticeably sharper, and my face didn’t look stiff or artificial. The downside is that it’s quite thorough—the consultation and treatment together took almost an hour and a half—but that’s exactly why I kept coming back.
Jasmine (Hong Kong / 40 years old):
I was actually quite nervous before getting the Thermage treatment—afraid of pain and worried that the results wouldn’t be noticeable. Dr. Wu has excellent English skills; he explained in detail the number of pulses and energy level for each treatment area right to me, without any translation getting in the way. After the Thermage FLX procedure (priced at 2,700,000₩, or about 64,800 Taiwanese dollars), combined with Rejuran treatment, my skin’s glow improved significantly. The clinic offers a very private atmosphere, unlike other clinics where there’s constant comings and goings.
Sandy (Singapore/38):
I’ve had hyaluronic acid treatments at other clinics before, but I always found the results to be short-lived. NEWYOUNG’s UC100 FULL 3-session package (1,350,000₩, approximately 32,400 Taiwanese dollars) is cheaper than others. The director uses ultrasound to scan the area first before administering the treatment, and this whole process makes me feel like a valued client—rather than just another face in the pipeline.

VIII. How to book an appointment at Cheongdam NEWYOUNG Dermatology through BeautsGO?
NEWYOUNG offers one-on-one consultations with the clinic director, with a limited number of patients accepted per day. It’s recommended to make an appointment 1–2 weeks in advance, especially for weekends. Use any of the following five BeautsGO booking methods that suit you best:
- Book through the BeautsGO APP (most comprehensive features, highly recommended): Download the BeautsGO APP → Search for “NEWYOUNG” or “紐漾” → View the director’s full profile, real-time prices for various treatments, and user reviews → Click “Schedule a Consultation” and note your main skin concerns (such as “loose jawline” or “collagen loss”). The app also allows you to compare prices across different clinics in the same area. Download from App Store ｜ Download from Google Play
- One-on-one booking with official customer service (fastest response): Add the customer service’s WeChat account bicimei6 and send “NEWYOUNG + name + preferred time + main concern”. The customer service will check the director’s schedule and send important notes in Chinese.

💡 If you’re dealing with more complex skin issues, it’s recommended to book a one-on-one appointment through the app or customer service, so you can share your symptoms and preferred appointment times in advance. For collagen regeneration treatments such as Sculptra and Rejuran, it’s a good idea to consult customer service first to check out any monthly promotional prices.
IX. Frequently Asked Questions FAQ
Q: It’s my first time getting cosmetic treatments in South Korea. What should I do if I don’t speak the language?
A: Dr. NEWYOUNG is fluent in English, so you can communicate with him directly in English. If you need Chinese support, you can make an appointment through the BeautsGO APP or WeChat mini-program, where the platform offers full Chinese assistance throughout the process.
Q: How do I choose between Thermage FLX and Ultherapy Prime?
A: For those with thinner skin and mainly sagging skin, Thermage FLX (600 shots for the face, priced at 2,700,000 KRW/around 64,800 Taiwan dollars) is more suitable; for those with noticeable sagging in the fascia layer, Ultherapy Prime (600 shots for the face, priced at 2,700,000 KRW/starting around 64,800 Taiwan dollars) is better suited. The prices of these two treatments are similar—what matters most is assessing the facial structure, which should be determined after a personal consultation with Dr. Wu. It’s not recommended to choose based solely on price.
Q: Is there an additional fee for a ultrasound examination?
A: It’s not necessary. The ultrasound examination is already included in the in-person consultation assessment and comes at no extra cost (an independent ultrasound test costs around 200,000 KRW/4,800 TWD in the market).
Q: How is payment handled? Are the prices the same in China and South Korea?
A: Payments are made in South Korean won upon arrival at the clinic, and international credit cards (Visa/Mastercard) are accepted. The price remains the same for both Koreans and foreigners—no extra charge for non-Koreans. The actual amount to pay = listed price × 1.1 (including 10% VAT). For example, the Ultherapy Prime treatment for the face with 600 shots costs 2,970,000₩ in total (approximately 71,300 New Taiwan Dollars); the Thermage FLX treatment for the entire face with 600 shots also costs 2,970,000₩ (about 71,300 New Taiwan Dollars).
Q: How long after completing the treatment can I fly?
A: For non-surgical treatments such as HIFU, Thermage, InMode, hyaluronic acid injections, and Botox, patients can board the flight on the same day. It’s important to protect your skin from sun exposure within a week after the procedure, and avoid soaking in hot springs or using saunas.
Q: How can EMFACE, Thermage FLX, and Ultherapy Prime be used together?
A: After a face consultation, Dr. Wu typically outlines a comprehensive anti-aging plan tailored to last 3–6 months. For significant underlying muscle relaxation, Ultherapy Prime treatment of 600 shots on the face is recommended (2,700,000 KRW, approximately 64,800 TWD) as a foundation treatment. If there’s both skin laxity and dull complexion, Thermage FLX treatment of 600 shots across the entire face is added (2,700,000 KRW, about 64,800 TWD). In cases of noticeable expression lines and Nasolabial Fold Correction, one session of EMFACE is suggested (800,000 KRW, roughly 19,200 TWD). Since each person’s needs are unique, a face consultation is required to determine the most appropriate plan.
Q: How do I choose between Rejuran, Belotero Revive, and UC100 for hydrating treatments?
A: Rejuran is renowned for its repair and collagen-enhancing effects (2 cc for the butterfly area costs 300,000 KRW, approximately 7,200 New Taiwan Dollars), making it ideal for skin with damaged barriers. Belotero Revive provides long-lasting moisture retention (1 dose costs 980,000 KRW, about 23,500 New Taiwan Dollars), suitable for dry, aging skin. UC100 offers excellent value for money (3 cc for the butterfly area also priced at 300,000 KRW, around 7,200 New Taiwan Dollars), perfect for regular skincare routines. Two or more doses of Rejuran can be administered under sedation during sleep.
Q: How far in advance should I make a reservation?
A: It’s recommended to book at least 1–2 weeks in advance, especially for weekend appointments. You can check the director’s available time in real time through BeautsGO and lock in your slot.
Conclusion: Why Did I Include NEWYOUNG on Cheongdam’s “Trusted List”?
Cheongdam NEWYOUNG Dermatology isn’t the kind of clinic that pushes package deals as soon as you walk in or uses a rushed 30-minute treatment process. Instead, it functions more like an anti-aging studio where doctors personally oversee every aspect, prioritize safety assessments, and opt for collagen regeneration over large-scale filler treatments.
In terms of price—Ultherapy Prime for the face starts at 600 shots for 2,700,000₩ (approximately 64,800 New Taiwan Dollars); Thermage FLX for the entire face also begins at 2,700,000₩ (around 64,800 New Taiwan Dollars); EMFACE costs 800,000₩ per session (about 19,200 New Taiwan Dollars); and UC100 hyaluronic acid treatment for 3cc starts at 250,000₩ (roughly 6,000 New Taiwan Dollars)—these rates fall within the mid-to-high-end range but remain transparent compared to other clinics in Cheongdam-dong. Coupled with additional perks such as free ultrasound-guided injections, one-on-one consultation by the chief physician throughout the process, and limited service to just one patient at a time, the actual value for money is far better than what the listed prices might suggest.
A background in internal medicine specialization, experience managing large-scale medical institutions, and qualifications in international teaching—these aren’t just marketing slogans; they are the fundamental guarantees that ensure a safe and reliable treatment experience. If you’re also looking for a reputable dermatology clinic in Cheongdam-dong led by skilled doctors, NEWYOUNG deserves to be on your list of top medical aesthetics options in Seoul.
