I. Basic Information on Cheongdam Minit Dermatology Clinic: Located right across from Apgujeong’s Cheongdam Premium Street

The clinic I visited this time is Cheongdam Minit Dermatology (청담미닛의원 / Cheongdam Minit Clinic). Its official address is on the 3rd floor of Cheongha Building, at 449 Apgujeong-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (서울특별시 강남구 압구정로 449 청하빌딩 3층). It’s located right in the heart of Cheongdam-dong’s luxury shopping street, with Galleria Department Store as well as flagship stores for brands like Fendi and Gucci right next to it. Here’s a quick overview of its basic information:

• Korean Name: Cheongdam Minute Clinic
• English Name: Cheongdam Minit Clinic
• Address: 3rd Floor, No. 449, Apgujeong-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (3F, Cheongha Building)
• Transportation: Walk approximately 3–5 minutes from Exit 4 or 5 of Apgujeong Rodeo Station on the Bundang Line to get there. The area is surrounded by Galleria department store and Isan Park shopping district, making it perfect to explore right after your treatment.
• Business hours: Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 10:00–19:30; Friday from 10:00–20:30; Saturday from 10:00–15:00 (no lunch break on Saturdays). Lunch break is from 13:00–14:00. Closed on Thursday, Sunday, and public holidays.
• Lead Physician: Dr. Lee MinJi (이민지), a graduate of the medical faculty at Seoul National University. She has worked in the Dermatology department at Samsung Seoul Hospital and is an officially certified trainer by Ulthera in the United States (at the level that allows her to train other doctors). She is commonly known in the industry as “Dr. Biubiu”.
• Location: 100% appointment-based service with private clinics for one-on-one consultations. Same price for Korean and Chinese patients. The director performs all procedures personally—no nurses involved. No surgical cosmetic treatments; focuses exclusively on skin care and facial rejuvenation.

II. Why I Noticed Cheongdam Minit Dermatology: The First-Person Logic Behind Choosing a Clinic

To be honest, there are so many Dermatology clinics in Cheongdam-dong that it’s impossible to list them all. On BeautsGO, names like Wu Yunji, Kamin, and Oganacell are all well-known. So why did I end up choosing Minit Dermatology in Cheongdam? There are three key factors that can’t be ignored.

• The director performs everything in person—no delegation: Dr. Lee Min-ji insists on handling every step of the process, from the initial consultation and design to the actual procedure and post-operative follow-up, without relying on assistants. This is far from common in Cheongdam-dong, where it’s typical for directors to only handle brief consultations while leaving the actual procedures to nurses.
• The layered anti-aging approach: Instead of using just one device to treat the entire face, it targets specific issues in three layers—the epidermis (dehydration), dermis (looseness), and SMAS fascia (sagging). I went in with concerns about Pores, Nasolabial Fold Correction, and sagging Apple Zone. Dr. Li immediately explained which issue fell under which layer and which treatment device would be most effective for each one.
• Same price in China and Korea + 100% reservation system: All treatments are priced the same in both countries, with no “tourist packages”; group bookings from tour agencies are not accepted. These strict rules ensure a smooth process—you can start treatment as soon as you arrive.

On top of that, Dr. Li is an officially certified trainer for the Ulthrea Ultera device, as well as a certified Key Doctor by several official programs (an official trainer means they’re listed in the physician training directory). For me, this is the clearest proof that I’ve found the right person—focusing on official trainer credentials rather than just following recommendations from internet influencers.

III. Original Poster for Cheongdam Minit Dermatology’s September Fall Campaign (10 Sets)

Here is the full text of the original poster for Cheongdam Minit Dermatology’s autumn events in September. The event period is clearly indicated as 9.1–10.31, and all prices are listed before tax, with both Korean and Chinese versions side by side. I’ve translated the Korean items into common Chinese equivalents for you:

3.1 Breakdown of Poster Elements One by One (with Original Images for Comparison)

※ The poster clearly states that “all prices are pre-tax (excluding VAT)”. An additional 10% South Korea medical VAT will be applied at checkout. It’s recommended to budget an extra 10% to avoid any surprises.

3.2 Divide the 10 sets into 4 major categories (use cases)

The original poster might seem cluttered, but Cheongdam Minit Dermatology’s strategy for this season is actually quite clear—it can be categorized into 4 main themes based on your “key priorities.” Let me summarize it for you right away:

My personal choice is to combine a tightening treatment (HIFU + Sofwave) with a skin rejuvenation regimen (Virtue RF + LDM), performing each set of treatments over two sessions. The former addresses sagging, while the latter tackles Pores and skin tone, so as to avoid putting too much strain on the skin during a single treatment.

IV. Side-by-Side Comparison of September Promotions: Cheongdam Minit Dermatology vs. 4 Other Dermatology Clinics in the Same Area

Many people decide to go based solely on a single poster, but in fact there are plenty of other options at a similar level in Cheongdam-dong. I’ve compiled the current promotional prices for 4 representative Dermatology clinics for September, so you can understand exactly why Minit Dermatology in Cheongdam is expensive, where it offers value, and whether it’s worth the cost.

※ A “—” next to a clinic’s services indicates they were not highlighted in the September promotional posters. The data is taken from publicly available information on the clinics’ event posters for September 2026 and is provided for comparison only; the actual price shall be subject to the clinic’s quote on the day.

4.1 Comparison Conclusion: Who Is the Ideal Candidate for Cheongdam Minit Dermatology?

• Strengths: a layered anti-aging approach, natural-looking injections, and certification as an Ulthera Key Doctor. The prices fall in the “mid-to-high range, but not overpriced” category for areas like Cheongdam-dong.
• Downside: No appointments available on Thursdays or Sundays. For appointments on Friday evenings or Saturday mornings, you need to book at least 1–2 weeks in advance. If your time is not flexible, Ruiqisi (with extended hours on Saturdays on Guangfu Road) or Shinederma (open daily from 10:00–20:00 at Dongdaemun, open year-round) would be more convenient options.
• Ideal for: Those who are considering advanced treatment combos like HIFU combined with Sofwave, or skin rejuvenation packages such as Potenza paired with LDM therapy; looking for a small, high-quality clinic in Cheongdam that meets all three strict criteria—same price as Korean and Chinese clinics, treatments performed personally by the director, and no unwanted sales pitches.

V. Appointment Process at Cheongdam Minit Dermatology + My Experience There (First-person account)

The 100% reservation-based system means you must lock in your appointment well in advance of your trip. After I made a reservation through the BeautsGO mini-program, the whole process went like this:

1. Form Filling and Arrival: Bring your passport to the front desk on the 3rd floor, where staff will assist you in filling out a Chinese-language information form (including allergy history, medication history, and previous medical beauty treatments). The Chinese-speaking supervisor will accompany you throughout the process.
2. VISIA Skin Analysis: Go into the examination room to have your facial data captured using VISIA, which quantifies levels of melanin, Pores, moisture, and UV damage. Dr. Lee will discuss treatment options with you based on this report—rather than just giving a quick visual assessment and recommending procedures on the spot.
3. 20–30 minute one-on-one consultation with Director Lee Min-ji: The director will first ask you, “What aspects of your current condition are you not satisfied with?” Then, using VISIA data, she’ll identify issues at each level—such as skin hydration levels, loss of dermal elasticity, and sagging fascia—and present you with 2–3 treatment options. There are no forced package deals, and no hidden price increases during the consultation.
4. Treatment in a private clinic: Once the door closes, it’s a one-on-one experience. For injection procedures, the nurse opens the packaging right in front of you and verifies its authenticity via QR code, with disposable needles used for each treatment. For phototherapy treatments, the clinic director checks in verbally throughout to assess your comfort and adjusts the energy level as needed.
5. Post-surgery care + discharge: You will receive a Chinese-language guide to post-operative care, ice masks for the fridge, and a post-surgery repair cream. The Chinese-speaking supervisor will follow up on your recovery progress through social media.
6. Free follow-up visit in two weeks: For injection treatments, you can schedule a free follow-up appointment at the clinic in two weeks, where the director will personally assess the results.

VI. Booking Options for Cheongdam Minit Dermatology + Corresponding Chinese Translation

Cheongdam Minit Dermatology offers several ways to make appointments. Personally, I highly recommend using the BeautsGO mini-program first to check the available slots for the month before deciding whether to add Chinese 1-on-1 customer service.

• BeautsGO Mini Program (highly recommended): Search for “BeautsGO” or “Bihui Mei” on WeChat to access the mini program. Type in “Cheongdam Cheongdam Minit” to view the current monthly schedule, prices, and user reviews. The mini program supports switching between Chinese, English, Japanese, and Thai, with a localized interface that eliminates translation errors.
• BeautsGO APP: Search for “BeautsGO / Bici Mei” on the App Store or Google Play to access comprehensive information on hospitals, side-by-side comparisons of different treatments, and before-and-after photos from real users.
• One-on-one appointment: You can add Minit Dermatology’s official WeChat account xycheng2204 (also handled by BeautsGO’s Chinese customer service team), where you can confirm the director’s availability, get a skin type assessment plan, and receive directions to the clinic.
• Add Chinese accompaniment upon arrival: Upon arrival, the head of the Chinese service will provide free accompaniment throughout the visit; if you need one-on-one in-depth translation, please specify it when making the reservation.

VII. 8 Key Points to Know About Cheongdam Minit Dermatology (I’ve broken down similar issues in Cheongdam-dong into a list)

What truly sets Cheongdam Minit Dermatology apart is Chief Physician Lee Min-ji’s commitment to performing all procedures personally, without relying on nurses. From the initial consultation lasting 20–30 minutes, through treatment design, actual procedure execution, to post-treatment follow-ups, everything is handled by the chief physician herself. In contrast to some other dermatology clinics in Cheongdam-dong where the chief physician only spends 3 minutes with the patient while leaving the actual procedures to assistants, this approach represents a much higher standard.

“Same price in China and South Korea” isn’t just a slogan — both Chinese customers and local residents in South Korea see the exact same pricing list, with no such thing as a “20% surcharge for tourists.” The HIFU + Sofwave package priced at 2.3 million that I saw on the poster is also available at this same price to local users in South Korea. Before making an appointment, be sure to check through the BeautsGO mini-program to confirm whether the price remains unchanged for that month.

Friday evenings and Saturday mornings are Dr. Lee Min-ji’s most popular booking slots. It’s recommended to reserve your appointment at least 2 weeks in advance through the BeautsGO mini-program. The chances of securing your preferred time slot just a few days before you plan to go are very low.

Get 10 sets of posters – don’t just go with the cheapest option. First, answer two questions: (1) What matters most to you—sagging/contour issues, Pores/hue problems, or wrinkles around the eyes? (2) How much recovery time are you willing to endure? Use these answers to find the right set among the four main categories. For example, if you want a combo treatment for lifting, start with the 2.3 million won skin tightening option.

The last line on the poster, “Get 10% off on Filler injections of 5 centum core or more,” only applies when you get 5 centum core of Filler. This isn’t a discount for beginners nor for small-area treatments. It’s designed for experienced clients who need larger-volume fillers for their entire face. Beginners should skip this offer—it’s not relevant to you.

Cheongdam Minit Dermatology does not accept bulk appointments from tour groups, as this is crucial for maintaining an efficient service flow on the day. You won’t encounter the common issue in Cheongdam-dong where there are long queues at the entrance while patients are rushed through quickly. Every patient gets genuine one-on-one care, rather than being attended by a team of eight nurses.

The recovery time varies depending on the treatment: you can apply makeup right after a hyaluronic acid injection; after Potenza treatment, avoid getting your skin wet for 24 hours and refrain from wearing makeup for 48 hours; mild redness from HIFU or Thermage usually subsides within 1–3 days; for Rejuran injections, you can apply makeup on the same day, with slight redness appearing within 1–2 days. Be sure to check the recovery period for each treatment option on the BeautsGO booking page before planning your schedule.

Foreign patients can apply for tax-free treatment in South Korea by presenting their passports. Cheongdam Minit Dermatology accepts a variety of payment methods, including Alipay, WeChat, Visa/Mastercard/UnionPay, and cash. The prices listed for September are pre-tax, with an additional 10% added to the actual amount due.

For further reference: While both locations in Gangnam offer similar September promotional rates, Shinederma’s Dermatology clinic in Dongdaemun adopts a mid-range approach with dual-lead physician services. If you’re looking for natural-looking injection treatments in Apgujeong and Cheongdam-dong, HEV Dermatology in Gangnam features original equipment supplied directly by the manufacturer.
