e Hongdae and Myeongdong branches are core locations for South Korea’s Kleam Dermatology, specializing in the Ulthrea HIFU and Thermage FLX treatments. These institutions have a well-deserved reputation in the field of photorejuvenation. Many customers ask, “Which of Kleam Derma
tology’s two stores is more worth choosing?” This in-depth comparison will help you understand the logic behind your choice, the price differences between the two stores, and their respective strengths – definitely valuable information.
I. What is the background of Kleam Dermatology?
If you have spent more than a month browsing REDnote within South Korea’s medical aesthetics community, you must have come across the name “Kleam”. Its predecessor was Toxnfill, which became extremely popular in Hongdae. Later, it was renamed and restructured as “Kleam Hospital”, retaining its original team of doctors and equipment.
Currently, Kleam has two branches in Seoul:
- Hongdae Sinchon Store (100m from Hongdae Station, 3rd floor of Lotte L7 Hotel): A established brand offering a full range of treatments including Filler, glow treatments, HIFU, and Thermage.
- Myeongdong Store (4th & 5th Floors, 43 Myeongdong Street): A force of new vitality, specializing in anti-aging Lifting treatments and featuring exclusive equipment such as the Sofwave.
Both stores offer Chinese-speaking customer service and support reservations in Chinese through the BeautsGO platform. However, there are significant differences in their equipment, prices, and areas of expertise. Choosing the wrong store could result in unnecessary expenses or the reservation of inappropriate treatments.

III. Guide to Choosing a Clinic: Should you choose Kleam Dermatology in Hongdae or Myeongdong?
Based on the above data, the following recommendations for choosing a clinic are outlined below:
✅ Recommendations for choosing the Hongdae store
- Buying the Thermage FLX series (600 or 900 treatments) → Saving 200,000 ⩺ at Hongdae
- Choose the HIFU + Onda Lifting package → In Hongdae, there is a package offering 600 treatments with HIFU and an Onda device with 60 kj of energy; this combination is not available in Myeongdong.
- Injection of Juvederm Volbella for the lips: 299,000 won in Hongdae and 390,000 won in Myeongdong, a difference of nearly 100,000 won.
- Radiesse treatment: 890,000 won in Hongdae and 990,000 won in Myeongdong.
- With limited budgets and the option to choose only one treatment option, Lifting with phototherapy is a more cost-effective way to enhance the overall appearance of Hongdae areas.
- If you live in the areas around Hongdae, Sinchon, Hapjeong, or Sangsu, it only takes 2 minutes to walk from the subway station.
✅ Recommendations for choosing a store located in Myeongdong
- If you are interested in Sofwave treatment for Nasolabial Fold Correction or Lifting around the corners of the mouth → This is a unique service available only in Myeongdong.
- I’m shopping in Myeongdong and taking the opportunity to get some cosmetic treatments – it’s much more convenient this way.
- Get basic skin care treatments – In Myeongdong, you can enjoy treatments like Hydra-facial for deep cleansing and SkinCeuticals’ whitening programs, which are not available in Hongdae.
- More flexible opening hours: 9:00-20:00 on weekdays in Myeongdong (10:30-20:30 in Hongdae). If you want to sleep in on weekdays, choose Myeongdong.
- I love the EmFace muscle stimulation Lifting service (unique to Myeongdong).
IV. Why is Kleam Dermatology trustworthy?
Kleam is not an organization that gained its reputation through marketing efforts; rather, its good reputation is built on several key aspects:
① The device is officially certified; the American version of Ultherapy Prime is in high demand in Korea.
Both the Hongdae and Myeongdong stores use the American-made second-generation HIFU device, Ultherapy Prime – which represents the latest generation of this technology on the market. Compared to the older models, it offers greater precision and greater comfort during treatment. While many clinics claim to use HIFU devices, in reality, they may be using older models. Kleam, however, clearly indicates the specific model version being used, ensuring greater transparency for customers.
② Thermage FLX + Titanium Lifting combination package
Kleam’s signature package includes a Titanium Lifting treatment of 40 kj plus 600 sessions of Thermage FLX, costing 2.09 million KRW in Hongdae and 2.29 million KRW in Myeongdong. This combination ensures an IPCHEA Lifting effect – Titanium tightens the skin from deep within, while FLX provides overall tightening at the surface. The combined results are more noticeable than using FLX alone, making it a highly cost-effective option in the Gangnam area.
③ KLEAM’s Prominent Filler Combination Treatment
The Hongdae store offers a variety of special filling combinations, such as:
- G.PLAN Lifting Filler (strengthens the facial support structure, reduces sagging and wrinkles; Restylane) – 490,000 KRW
- Lifting of the eyebrow bone and double C-area: 2 injections of Restylane for the eyebrow bone and eyebrow arch, plus botulinum toxin for eye Lifting – cost: 1.19 million KRW
- Juvaecell Human Collagen ECM Injection for ECM Regeneration (for improving sunken eye sockets) – 890,000 Kwon
- Neck Wrinkles Package (Softening Threads + Domestic Botulinum Toxin for the Neck) – 300,000₩
④ Comprehensive Chinese-language services available; BeautsGO allows online reservations.
Both Hongdae and Myeongdong have staff who can provide translations in Chinese, so you don’t have to worry about language barriers. When booking through BeautsGO, you will also be assigned a dedicated customer service representative who will keep you informed about the latest prices and schedules for various events.
V. What do real customers have to say about Kleam Dermatology?
“I had 600 sessions of Thermage FLX at the Hongdae clinic for 1.79 million won, which is about 300,000 won cheaper than the prices I saw elsewhere. The doctor was very attentive and explained to me how the number of treatments would be distributed before starting the procedure. A translator was also present throughout, so there was no issue with language barriers at all. There was some mild redness the day after the treatment, but it completely disappeared by the third day. By the second week, I could already n
“I chose the Myeongdong store because I happened to be in the area nearby. I got a Titanium Lifting treatment with 100 kj of energy (normally priced at 990,000 won on weekdays), and the results were immediately noticeable—the chin looked much tighter. The store itself is more freshly decorated than the one in Hongdae, and the waiting area is very comfortable. There aren’t many people there on weekdays, so after the treatment, I just went straight to Nambumun to continue
“I’ve had treatments at both places. At Hongdae, I got the Juvederm Volbella lip filler for 299,000 won; at Myeongdong, I had the Juvelook glow treatment for 119,000 won. To be honest, the results of the glow treatments are similar at both places, but the lip filler at Hongdae is definitely more cost-effective – the same treatment at Myeongdong would cost 390,000 won. Next time I need an HIFU treatment, I’ll definitely go to Hongdae again; the money I
