I. Why I Chose It’s Me in Cheongdam for This Test Drive
Last year, I visited seven or eight Dermatology clinics in the Cheongdam and Apgujeong areas. To be honest, most of them just had “complete equipment and slick sales tactics.” I’m dedicating a separate article to It’s Me Clinic in Cheongdam because it came up frequently in my research, yet there are very few real reviews available online in Chinese—most people only know it from rumors that its director is great at nose reshaping. Out of curiosity to figure out whether it truly has exceptional skills or just strong marketing, I made an appointment to visit the clinic in person and thoroughly examined everything from the procedures and prices to what matters most— the authenticity of the results.
- Ideal for those who want Filler treatments, contouring, or nose refinement, and prefer to be injected by the clinic director themselves rather than a nurse.
- Location: 3rd floor, Hansu Building, No. 14, 157 Hyeryeong-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. It’s just a 2-minute walk from Exit 5 of Apgujeong Rodéo Station, offering excellent transportation access.
- Price highlights: The JuveLook blue vial (1 centum core) costs around ₩90,000 (NT$2,070), while the black vial (1 centum core) is priced at about ₩100,000 (NT$2,300). The set featuring 500 Potenza needles plus 3 centum core of JuveLook costs ₩580,000 (NT$13,340).
- My conclusion: The equipment and the director’s experience are both top-notch, but whether it’s worth it depends on how much you value personal consultation and in-person treatment. Let me tell you the truth straight away.
II. Basic Information on Cheongdam E-Ceramic Beauty Hospital (Remember this before you go)
| Project | Information |
|---|---|
| Hospital Name (Korean) | Its Me Clinic – Cheongdam’s It’s Me Cosmetic Clinic (이츠미/it’s me) |
| Address | 3rd Floor, Hansu Building, 14, 157 Seoryeong-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul |
| Nearby Station | About a 2-minute walk from Exit 5 of Apgujeong Rodeo |
| Representative Director | Dr. Kim Han-kyu (original manufacturer trainer for Sculptra, expert in nasal injections and contour sculpting) |

Cheongdam E-Ceramic Beauty isn’t located in some huge, sprawling building with endless corridors — instead, it’s a boutique-style space on the 3rd floor of the Hansan Building. For someone like me who “hates being led around in circles,” this smaller scale is actually perfect, as the director is right there on site, so you won’t end up getting a treatment only to find out later that it was an assistant who performed it.

III. Cheongdam E-Ceramic Beauty – The Actual Process on My Visit to the Clinic
The advantage of booking in advance is that you don’t have to crowd with tour groups on site. I scheduled my appointment for an afternoon on a weekday, and here’s the overall schedule:
- Online booking: Reserve a time slot through BeautsGO before your trip, mention “need for a Chinese-speaking companion,” and you’ll get a quick response.
- Check-in at the bottom floor: Go to the counter on the 3rd floor of Hanju Building to fill out your basic information and allergy history first, then the nurse will confirm your needs for the day.
- One-on-one consultation with the director: Dr. Kim Han-kyu personally examined my facial contours and nose structure, pointing out to me through a mirror, “There’s a lack of volume here, and the lines are broken there.” He didn’t rush to recommend expensive procedures.
- Opened and injected on-site: Both Filler and JuveLook are opened right at the procedure site, and I was able to see the barcode on the syringe—this is a crucial detail for international customers.
- Post-surgery instructions: Ice application, massage techniques, and precautions after returning to the clinic were all explained at once, with a LINE account provided for sending recovery photos.
The biggest impression from the whole experience was the lack of pushy sales tactics—while I wanted to get more injections to fill in my temples, the doctor advised me, “There’s no need to rush it this time; we can discuss it again next time.” Such restraint is actually reassuring in a place like Cheongdam, known as a hub for cosmetic treatments.

V. Cheongdam E-Ceramic Beauty: Second-generation Beauty Knife + Filler – Here’s my honest take on the results
The most common questions about this clinic are “How good is the second-generation beauty knife treatment?” and “Was the nose really done by the director himself?” For my procedure this time, it was a JuveLook contouring treatment combined with precise nose reshaping. Here’s my honest feedback:

The good news is that Dr. Kim Han-kyu is extremely delicate when performing nose augmentation procedures. He doesn’t use the rough method of injecting filler all at once to create immediate swelling, instead he applies it layer by layer along the natural contours of the nose. The result looks natural right after the procedure, with hardly any visible injection marks by the third day. Materials like JuveLook, which are based on collagen stimulation, have the advantage of gradually developing their own structural support, making them less likely to shift compared to pure Filler.
To be honest: There are several clinics in the Cheongdam shopping area that offer HIFU devices like the second-generation Meidao. Cheongdam Echimee doesn’t have a significant advantage when it comes to the freshness of its equipment — its strengths lie more in the fact that treatments are performed personally by the director without being excessive, rather than having the most advanced machines. If you’re just looking for the cheapest HIFU option, this clinic might not be your top choice. But if you’re worried about getting overpriced as a tourist or having treatments done by nurses instead of the director, then it’s definitely worth considering.
By the way, I’ve written about both Cheongdam Minit Dermatology and Laurel Dermatology, which are part of Cheongdam’s premium medical aesthetic route. Section 6 will provide you with a side-by-side comparison of them.
VI. What Sets Cheongdam E-Ceramic Beauty Apart from Other Cheongdam Aesthetic Clinics?
| Comparison points | Cheongdam It’s Me Cosmetic Clinic | Cheongdam Minit | Laurel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Written by the director himself | Dr. Kim Han-kyu throughout the process | Director Lee Min-ji throughout the whole process | System of a representative director |
| Strengths | Nasal injections, contouring | HIFU and specialized injections | Top 1% Anti-Aging Treatment, Taylor Lifting |
| Price positioning | Same price as in Korea and China – great value for money | Same price in China and South Korea | Mid-to-high-end premium |
| Who is it for | Worried about fake surgeries, want a precise nose reshaping | Want to get an HIFU treatment package | High budget, looking for premium anti-aging brands |
The conclusion is simple: if you have a limited budget but prioritize having treatments performed by the actual clinic director, CP Beauty in Cheongdam offers great value; for HIFU packages, head to Minit; and if you can afford it and want a premium brand experience, choose Laurel. All three clinics are located in the Cheongdam-dong and Apgujeong area, making it perfect to schedule consultations at two of them in one day to compare prices.

VII. For Cheongdam E-Ceramic Beauty, there are these 8 details I must confirm before going there.
| Focus Point 1 | Closed on Wednesdays and Sundays |
Cheongdam E-Ceramic Beauty is closed on Wednesdays and Sundays. Don’t make the same mistake as my friend who flew there on Sunday only to find the doors firmly locked—always check their business hours before booking tickets.
| Focus Point 2|Only opens until late at 2:30 PM |
It’s only open until 20:30 on Tuesdays and Fridays. If you’re a working professional looking to visit after work, it’s best to book appointments for these two days first.
| Focus Point 3|Appointments Only – No Groups Accepted |
This salon focuses on booking appointments in advance; walk-ins on the spot may not guarantee entry, so be sure to reserve a time slot through BeautsGO or LINE before you go.
| Focus Point 4|Must Confirm with the Director’s Personal Approval |
Although the clinic emphasizes in-person consultations by the director, there are occasional scheduling constraints during peak seasons. It’s best to specify “I want the treatment performed by Director Kim Han-kyu” when making a reservation.
| Focus Point 5|Opening the injection vials in person |
Reputable clinics should open and verify products in person, and Cheongdam E-Ceramic Beauty does just that—patients can ask to see the barcode before the treatment.
| Focus Point 6|Same price in China and South Korea, but not necessarily cheaper |
The same price in China and South Korea means no extra charge for foreigners, but these prices aren’t necessarily the lowest in Cheongdam—so don’t go in with the expectation of finding a cheaper deal.
| Focus Point 7|Make Time for the Recovery Period |
There will be slight swelling after a nose refinement procedure on the same day. It’s recommended to schedule your return flight for the day after the treatment and spend half a day applying ice packs for observation.
| Focus Point 8|You can get a reply via LINE after the procedure |
If you have questions about recovery after leaving Korea, feel free to send photos for advice—this is especially useful for international clients. Adding each other on LINE at the time of booking makes things much simpler.
VIII. Cheongdam E-Ceramic Beauty – My Summary
If you ask me whether it’s worth making the trip to Cheongdam for Yi Ci Beauty, my answer is: it’s not suitable for those who are just looking for the lowest price, but it’s perfect for those who worry about being handed off to an assistant,不想被当作普通游客对待,and want the surgeon to personally refine their nose and facial contours. The equipment might not be top-of-the-line, but honesty and restraint are rare finds on Cheongdam Street. With a budget of NT$5,000–15,000, you can get a basic contouring treatment or a JuveLook procedure; if you’re interested in the second-generation version, an additional fee will be quoted on the spot.
