[Review Report 02] Real Experience at Seongsu newlline Dermatology: No consultation fee, same prices as in Korea – I tried it myself at Seongsu-dong Treasure Dermatology!

[Review Report 02] Real Experience at Seongsu newlline Dermatology: No consultation fee, same prices as in Korea – I tried it myself at Seongsu-dong Treasure Dermatology!

To be honest, when I first considered going to South Korea for skin care treatments, I never thought of coming to Seongsu-dong at all.

In Gangnam District, there are so many well-known areas – Cheongdam-dong, Sinsa-dong, Apgujeong… Each of these names is more familiar than the last. But what about the prices? They are also increasingly unaffordable. Later, I saw someone on Dcard mention Seongsu-dong, saying that the Dermatology clinics there were about 20% cheaper than those in Gangnam, and many local South Koreans actually went there.

I started doing my research and eventually settled on this option: Seongsu newlline Dermatology (Newlline Clinic). The reason is quite simple.

  • Zero barriers: No deposit required, no consultation fee, and free skin examinations. For someone like me who is going for the first time, this completely eliminates any sense of stress.
  • Same price in South Korea and China: It’s not just empty rhetoric about “not cheating foreigners”; the price list is clearly displayed, so you pay the same amount as South Koreans do.
  • Professional translation services throughout the entire process: from filling out forms upon arrival to post-operative care, our translator will be by your side, even helping you figure out how to tell the taxi driver what you need.

But the most important thing is—what exactly is the outcome? In this article, I will explain the entire process from start to finish, without exaggeration or bias. It is simply a record of my own personal experience.

Second, walking from the Seongsu station to the clinic was much easier than I had imagined.

I stayed at a homestay near Hongdae. I left home at 10 am and took the subway Line 2 straight to Seongsu Station, without having to transfer trains – this is extremely important for someone who is not familiar with the local transportation system.

Exit from Exit 4 of Seongsu Station, turn on your phone’s navigation app, and walk along Shangyuan Road for about 5 minutes to arrive. The building looks like an ordinary commercial office complex; take the elevator to the 5th floor, and the clinic is right there when you open the door.

To be honest, I thought I would get lost – but it turned out to be even easier than finding a coffee shop hidden on the second floor in Taipei.

First impression upon entering: clean, bright, and free from the typical smell of disinfectants found in hospitals. The reception area features a design dominated by white and wooden tones; the sofas are very comfortable, and there weren’t many people waiting — I went there on a weekday morning and waited only about 10 minutes before it was my turn.

III. Director Li Enshi’s in-person consultation: We don’t recommend the most expensive options; instead, we suggest what suits you best.

The process is as follows:

1. Fi ll in the basic information – During the consultation, you will be given a form where you are asked about your allergy history, the skincare products you have used, and the treatments you would like to undergo. The entire process is conducted in Chinese, so you don’t need to worry at all.

2. Sk in analysis – An instrument is used to scan your face, and various parameters such as Pore size, pigmentation levels, and moisture content are all quantified. It was only when I saw the data on the screen that I realized something: I thought my skin was in pretty good condition, but actually its moisture level was only 60% of the normal range.

3. T he consultation with the director – this is the part I care about the most. Director Li Enshi held the test report and, while looking in the mirror, analyzed each area of my face for me: “There is too much oil on your T-zone, but your cheeks are severely dehydrated,” “The fine lines on your Forehead are caused by dehydration, not true wrinkles,” “The pigmentation on your chin is related to your sun protection habits.”

She didn’t immediately recommend the most expensive treatment option. My budget was around 1 million Korean won, so she presented me with two options based on my budget – one focusing on anti-aging and the other on hydration. In the end, I chose the combination of 300 sessions of Ulthrea + Rejuran PN hyaluronic acid injections.

IV. Full transparency in pricing: The price list of Seongsu newlline Dermatology

These are the prices I recorded during my in-person consultations and have organized them together; they include taxes. All the rates are the same for both China and Korea, with no hidden fees at all.

Project Classification Project Name Price (Korean Won)
🔴 Anti-aging Lifting Ulthrea 990,000 cases
Single dose of Thermage FLX 308,000 cases
Volnewmer Golden Toon (Oligio) Consult the customer service team
💉 Injection Beauty Treatments Rejuran PN Glow Injection 275,000 cases
Juvederm Filler Consult the customer service team
💧 Basic Management Hydrating Skin Care Package (Micro气泡 + Hydrating Treatment + LED Therapy) 165,000
Oxygen Beauty Skin Care (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) 36,300
Milk Skin Beauty Treatment (Hydrating Glow + SONO + LED + Facial Mask) 108,900
💤 Anesthesia Sleep anesthesia (administered by specialized anesthesiologists) 250,000

💡 The treatment I chose: 300 HIFU sessions with the Ulthrea + 2 centum core of Rejuran PN, for a total cost of approximately 1.2 million Korean won (around NT$27,000). The same treatment in Gangnam would cost around 1.5 to 1.8 million Korean won.

V. Treatment process: It was much easier than I had imagined.

The entire treatment takes approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes and is divided into four stages:

1. Ap plication of anesthetic (30 minutes) – The nurse will apply the anesthetic cream for you; it feels cool and doesn’t cause any discomfort at all. During these 30 minutes, I just lay there and scroll through my phone.

200 HIFU treatments (35 minutes in total) were performed by the director herself. The treatment started on one side of the face; after each session, she would ask me, “How does it feel here?” To be honest, the sensation near the jawline was quite noticeable—it was like being touched by an eraser, but it was completely tolerable. After completing one side of the face, she used a mirror to show me the results: the contours on that side had indeed become more defined.

3. Re juran hyaluronic acid injection (15 minutes) – Immediately after the HIFU treatment, the Rejuran injection is administered. Since the face has already been anesthetized, there is almost no sensation at all. The director injected the substance from the Forehead down to the chin, ensuring that each injection was evenly distributed.

4. A pply a cooling mask and use LED light therapy for 15 minutes — immediately apply a cooled mask after the procedure to reduce inflammation, and use LED red light to promote healing. Those 15 minutes were literally the hardest time for me… I almost fell asleep.

After the procedure, the director gave me a post-operative care kit: an ice pack mask, sunscreen, and a Chinese-language list of post-operative precautions. He even helped me mark the location of the pharmacy on my phone map – truly very thoughtful of him.

VI. Postoperative Changes: From the day of the procedure to one month later

📅 Post-treatment recovery timeline
time Skin condition My thoughts and feelings
On that day A slight blush, as if tanned by the sun Since there was no pain or swelling, I just went to Seongsu Water Cave Coffee Street to drink coffee, and no one noticed that I had just undergone cosmetic surgery.
Days 2-3 The redness has subsided, and there is now a slight sense of tightness. The skin feels a bit rough to the touch, but when I look in the mirror, I notice that my Pores have become smaller.
Day 7 The skin appears more firm and the complexion looks brighter. A colleague asked me if I had changed my foundation; actually, I went out without any makeup that day.
Day 14 The lines at the lower jaw begin to tighten. When I took a side profile photo, I noticed that my chin lines were starting to become visible; it wasn’t just an illusion.
One month The stage where the effects are most noticeable A friend said, “Your complexion looks much better,” and I replied, “I just went to South Korea.” They immediately understood what I meant.

To be honest, HIFU is not a treatment that produces immediate results the day after it is done; it works in a gradual manner. Around the 2nd to 3rd week, you might suddenly notice that your face seems to have become tighter, and the contours of your cheeks appear more defined than before.

VII. Six important things you must know

These are tips I’ve gathered after experiencing various pitfalls and consulting with the hospital directors; they’re really practical.

1 提前一週預約——熱門時段(週五夜間門診和週六)很搶手,建議至少提前一週在BeautsGO上預約。

2 術後24小時不要化妝——這是鐵律。做完皮膚管理的那天,就乖乖素顏吧。

3 多喝水,至少2000ml——超聲刀和水光針都需要水分來幫助膠原蛋白生成。

4 防曬做好——術後皮膚比較敏感,防曬沒做好的話色素沉澱反而會更嚴重。

5 辦退稅——超過3萬韓元的項目可以退稅,櫃檯會給你退稅單,去機場掃一下就行。

6 線上復診——newlline提供海外用戶的線上復診服務(照片或視訊方式),術後有任何疑問都可以聯絡他們。

VIII. What other options are available at Seongsu Cave? Let’s take a look together.

If you are interested in the Dermatology services available at Seongsu-dong, in addition to newlline, there are several other places in this area that are also worth considering.

I previously compiled a comprehensive guide to Dermatology clinics in Seongsu-dong, including reviews of 5 actual visits I made—
“Dif you’re still hesitating about which clinic to choose, you might want to read this first.

In the same area, there is also another Dermatology clinic called Seongsu SERENE Dermatology, which has received a lot of attention on Dcard. I compared the prices of the online, so you can easily compare the prices of both clinics.

If this is your first time going to South Korea for skin care treatments and you are still not quite clear about the procedures regarding visas, appointments, and the actual process of Step by Step
– This article should be able to help you.

As for how to choose between HIFU, Thermage, and hyaluronic acid injections, I have written a separate article comparing the most popular anti-aging treatments in South Korea in 2026 –
The TOP 8 anti-aging this article should help you make a more informed decision.

Finally, regarding prices – I have conducted a very detailed comparison:
How much cheaper is South Korea’ation or not, the numbers speak for themselves – it’s still more cost-effective than choosing Taiwan.

九、FAQ:關於聖水newlline皮膚科,最多人問的8個問題

Q1:不會韓語真的可以嗎?
完全可以。newlline有中文翻譯全程陪同——從填表、面診、治療到術後說明,翻譯就在旁邊。而且不只是翻譯醫療用語,連打車怎麼跟司機報地址、附近有什麼好吃的都幫你,對第一次去韓國的人來說非常安心。
Q2:價格真的跟韓國人一樣嗎?不會現場加價?
中韓同價是真實的。價格表就貼在診所裡,韓國人付多少你就付多少。沒有「外國人加價」這回事,也沒有隱藏費用。我結帳時櫃檯給我看的就是價目表上的數字,含稅。
Q3:美版超聲刀和韓版有什麼差別?
美版超聲刀(Ultherapy)是FDA認證的,能量更精準、效果更穩定,維持時間約1年。韓版(Shurink Universe)痛感較輕、價格更低,適合定期維護。newlline兩種都有,院長會根據你的皮膚狀況推薦。
Q4:做完超聲刀多久見效?
不是做完就立刻變臉。超聲刀是透過熱能刺激膠原蛋白再生,效果是漸進式的——術後2-3週開始有感覺,1個月左右效果最明顯,持續約1年。
Q5:術後可以馬上搭飛機嗎?
可以。超聲刀和水光針都是非侵入性的,術後只有輕微泛紅,不影響搭飛機。我自己是做完隔天就飛回台灣了,完全沒問題。只是飛機上比較乾,記得要多喝水+噴保濕噴霧。
Q6:預算有限的話,推薦先做哪個?
如果你的預算在30-50萬韓元之間,建議先做麗珠蘭水光注射+基礎管理,效果最直接,價格也最親民。如果有60-100萬預算,超聲刀+水光的組合是性價比最高的選擇。
Q7:可以同一天做超聲刀+水光針嗎?
可以,而且是最常見的組合。院長建議先做超聲刀(深層提拉),再打水光針(表層補水),這樣深淺搭配效果最好。我就是這樣做的。
Q8:跟江南區皮膚科比,真的差那麼多嗎?
價格方面,聖水洞確實比江南便宜約20-30%。但設備和技術並不會比較差——newlline的美版超聲刀、Volnewmer等設備都是跟江南同步的進口機型。差別主要在於地段租金,不在於品質。
✦ ✦ ✦

十、總結:聖水newlline皮膚科值不值得去?

我不想講什麼「必去」、「天花板」之類的誇張話。就用最直白的方式總結:

✅ 優點 ⚠️ 考量
無面診費、無預約金,完全零門檻 院長只有一位,熱門時段需提前預約
中韓同價,價格透明 目前超聲刀為一代設備(二代已訂購)
中文翻譯全程陪同 暫無公開案例展示
院長針對膚況制定方案,不推銷 規模較小,非大型連鎖
比江南區便宜20-30%
術後護理包+線上復診

如果你是:預算有限但不想妥協品質、第一次去韓國做皮膚管理、需要中文翻譯、不喜歡被推銷的人——這家很適合你。

如果你追求的是:一定要最新一代設備、需要多位院長可以挑、想要奢華級裝修——那可能江南區更適合你。

但對我來說,花更少的錢、得到一樣好的效果、還不用擔心溝通問題——這筆帳怎麼算都划算。
