If you, like me, live or work in the Banpo area of Seocho District in Seoul and don’t want to trek to the crowded Gangnam just to get an HIFU treatment or dermal filler injection, then this guide I put together over some time featuring price references for the main branch of Alive Dermatology in Banpo should be quite helpful. I’ve lived in Banpo for two years and visited there three or four times. This time, I’ve compiled the latest information on transportation, the director in charge, business hours, as well as price ranges for other dermatology clinics of similar standards in Banpo and Seocho District, to help you plan your budget.

30-Second Summary: Who Is the Alive Dermatology Banpo Flagship Store Perfect For?
  • Easiest transportation option: Head straight out of Exit 8 at the Express Bus Terminal on Lines 3 and 9, walk about 200 meters for a 3-minute ride to the 4th floor of One Bailey Square — perfect for making follow-up appointments with your luggage in tow.
  • Direct Consultation by the Director: Director Xu Shengluo (서성락) is the only full-time physician at the clinic. He handles everything from the initial consultation to the actual procedure himself, without relying on assistants.
  • Transparent pricing with low entry barriers: The initial consultation fee is only ₩20,000 (about NT$460). The typical price ranges for common services at Dermatology clinics in the Banpo and Seocho areas are already well-publicized and listed below.
  • Before going, make sure to check: the clinic is closed on Sundays and only opens until 15:00 on Saturdays. Exact pricing for specific procedures will be confirmed in person upon arrival. The prices mentioned here are for reference only and not the official rates set by the clinic.

My conclusion: For those with a limited budget who prioritize “proximity to home + in-person consultation by the director,” the main branch of Alive Dermatology in Banpo is worth adding to your list. However, if you’re considering high-cost device-based treatments, it’s advisable to compare options at similar clinics in Gangnam first before making a decision.

I. Why am I writing this article, “Price Reference for Alive Dermatology’s Banpo Flagship Store”?

I decided to provide price references because I noticed that most of the information available online about the main branch of Alive Dermatology in Banpo focuses on customer experience stories, with few sources offering actual price ranges for 2026. Especially in the Banpo area, located between Gangnam and Seocho, prices are often reported as if they were those in Gangnam, yet there are differences in pricing among clinics of similar standards in this region. After visiting the clinic myself, I thought it would be better to clarify details such as transportation options, the doctor in charge, and business hours first, followed by the price ranges, so people can have a clear idea before making a visit.

By the way, there was a previous article before this one that provided booking tips for the main branch of Alive Dermatology in Banpo (the one about trying out three clinics for sensitive skin), focusing on the “why choose it?” perspective from an experience standpoint. This article, on the other hand, focuses on prices and budgets. The two complement each other without overlapping, so those who want to read about real experiences can read them together.

IV. Why Is the Main Branch of Alive Dermatology in Banpo Worth a Visit?

I went to the main branch of Alive Dermatology in Banpo because the appointment at the clinic in Gangnam was scheduled two weeks away, and I simply couldn’t wait for that inflamed pimple on my face. Since this location is close to the express bus terminal, I took the opportunity to visit there after work. What surprised me the most was that Dr. Xu Shengluo was the same person who examined me from start to finish—during the consultation, he immediately used a skin analysis device to show me the condition of my Pores and sebum levels, without the usual routine where a nurse talks first and the doctor shows up for just five minutes.

Next is the pricing strategy. Unlike some top-tier clinics in Gangnam that factor in “reputation” into their fees, the main branch of Alive Dermatology in Banpo charges only ₩20,000 for the initial consultation. Even if you opt for a minor treatment, you won’t be deterred by such a low consultation fee. For someone like me who gets occasional treatments without committing to multiple sessions, this low entry barrier actually makes things feel more reassuring. If you live in the Seocho, Banpo, or Samyeon areas, it’s definitely a practical choice compared to traveling to Gangnam—no need to go out of your way.

V. Process of visiting the main Alive Dermatology clinic in Banpo: from booking to treatment

  1. Online booking: Leave your details through the BeautsGO Chinese interface or WeChat (xycheng2204), specifying the procedure you’d like to have done and your preferred time slot. You’ll usually receive a response within 1 business day.
  2. Check-in at the clinic: Exit No. 8 at the express bus terminal, head straight for 200 meters, and check in at the counter on the 4th floor of One Bailey Square to fill out the basic information.
  3. In-person consultation by the director: Director Xu Shengluo conducts the consultation in person, uses a diagnostic device to explain the skin condition, and determines the appropriate treatments and dosage on the spot—without pushing expensive package deals.
  4. Procedure Execution: The treatment is carried out on the same day after the plan is confirmed. The device probe is opened in front of the client for verification, and post-procedure care instructions are provided afterward.
  5. Post-operative follow-up: Follow-up appointments are scheduled based on the nature of the procedure, with some treatments including free follow-up visits for monitoring.
