Meet the Team of Directors at South Korea’s HEV Dermatology Clinic

HEV Dermatology in South Korea isn’t the largest clinic in the Gangnam Sinsa business district, but its team of directors is truly outstanding. From the information I’ve gathered, HEV currently has three directors on duty: Director Shin Ji-ryeon, Director Lee Seol-hee, and Director Jeong Jong-hyun. Since many clients specifically asked about “Director Shin,” this article will focus on her, while also explaining the fee structure for booking with a specific director, so you can have a clear idea before making an appointment.

Who is Dr. Shin Ji-ryun, the director of HEV Dermatology in South Korea?

Dr. Shin Ji-ryeon graduated from the School of Medicine at Suncheon National University, an institution that enjoys a solid reputation in South Korea’s medical community and offers a comprehensive training program in Dermatology. After completing her residency in Dermatology at Suncheon National University Hospital, she further pursued her studies in dermatological sciences at the graduate school of the same university, giving her a strong academic and clinical foundation.

Based on her current roles within professional associations, President Shin is not only a member of the Academic Committee of the Korean Association of Dermatologists but also serves on the Education Committee of the Korean Society for Skin Anti-aging Research, as well as on the Public Relations Committee of the PENTA-A Society for Anti-aging Aesthetic Anatomy. Additionally, she is an active member of the Korean Society for Clinical Dermatological Therapy and the Korean Dermatology Association. These positions demonstrate her significant academic involvement in South Korea’s dermatology community, going beyond the role of a mere “clinical physician.”

What’s the division of labor among the three directors at HEV Dermatology in South Korea?

Many Chinese patients visiting Dermatology clinics in South Korea often wonder, “Why does a single clinic have several directors?” This is actually quite common in clinics that offer minor cosmetic procedures in South Korea. Clinics with stable business operations typically adopt a system of “rotating directors” to distribute scheduling pressures and enable directors with different specialties to focus on their respective areas of expertise.

At HEV Dermatology, the three directors bring distinct expertise to the practice:

• Dr. Shen Zhilian: Hailing from the Shuntian Township university network, she has a high level of engagement with her patients, making her an ideal choice for clients who prefer a “designated surgeon” and place great importance on the doctor’s experience and communication skills.
• Dr. Lee Hyuk-hee: With experience as a teaching physician at Severance Hospital of Yonsei University and Bucheon Hospital of Suncheon National University, she boasts extensive expertise in treating sensitive skin, pigmentation issues, and acne scars.
• Dr. Jeong Jong-hyun: A graduate of Dongguk University, he formerly served as the director of THE CELL’s Gangnam branch and boasts extensive experience in laser and injection treatments.

If you don’t have a particular preference for the director, the clinic will arrange it based on the daily schedule and your needs. If you’d like to specify Director Shin, an additional ₩200,000 fee will apply to the quote.

Cost Guidelines for Appointment with Dr. Shin, Designated Director at HEV Dermatology in South Korea

This is something users particularly emphasize, so I’ll explain it in its own paragraph for clarity:

• If Dr. Shin Ji-ryun is specified as the surgeon, an additional fee of ₩200,000 (approximately NT$4,600) will apply as a specification fee; the actual procedure cost remains separate.
• No designated director: Assigned by the clinic based on its schedule, with no additional fee.

A fee of ₩200,000 isn’t uncommon in South Korea’s medical aesthetics market—it functions similar to a surcharge for choosing a specific surgeon. From my experience, if you opt for high-cost procedures such as Thermage FLX, Ulthrea, or multiple filler treatments, the fee for selecting a surgeon accounts for a smaller proportion of the total cost. In contrast, for more basic treatments like a single facial cleansing session or basic filler injections, this surcharge tends to make up a larger portion. It’s advisable to check ahead of time whether this ₩200,000 can be deducted from the overall cost of the procedure or if it’s simply an additional charge.

8 Things to Keep in Mind at South Korea’s HEV Dermatology Clinic

The educational backgrounds and professional affiliations of the three directors at HEV Dermatology can be found on the clinic’s website. Director Shen’s degree from Shuntian Township University and his roles as a committee member in several medical associations are his standout qualifications.

If Dr. Shin is specified as the surgeon, an additional ₩200,000 fee applies; otherwise, this fee is not charged. Be sure to confirm with the Chinese-speaking director before making a reservation whether it’s a “pure surcharge” or an “item that can be deducted from the total cost.”

The rotating schedule of three directors means there are more available time slots, making it easier to find suitable appointments on weekends and weekdays evenings—perfect for travelers to Korea with tight itineraries.

The clinic is located on Dosan-daero in Gangnam District, just a 5-minute walk from Exit 8 of Sinsa Station. With numerous cafes and shopping areas in the vicinity, it’s perfect for taking a stroll after your facial treatment.

HEV boasts “original price,” which is a crucial factor in reducing decision-making anxiety for customers worried about product authenticity.

The director conducts personal consultations and designs treatment plans based on individual skin conditions, avoiding situations where nurses handle the process or where the same treatment plan is applied to everyone.

The clinic emphasizes not pushing extra procedures, which is a major advantage for customers visiting Korea for medical aesthetics for the first time and worried about unwanted add-ons.

HEV Dermatology is closed on Sundays and opens until 16:00 on Saturdays. It’s recommended to make an appointment on Friday or Saturday mornings, or on weekdays in the evening.

Who Is HEV Dermatology in South Korea Right For? My Personal Take

If you meet the following criteria, HEV Dermatology is worth considering:

• You value a doctor’s academic background and are looking for physicians with experience working at teaching hospitals and active involvement in professional associations.
• Are you willing to pay an additional ₩200,000 for “Director Shin” to guarantee that he will be the one performing the surgery?
• Do you prefer the shopping areas in Gangnam and Sinsa, where you can go shopping and dining after completing your treatment?
• You’re worried about being oversold and prefer that the consultation focus on “essential procedures” first.

Relatively speaking, if your budget is extremely tight or Sunday is the only day you have free, the “designated fee” and “closed on Sundays” policy at HEV might be drawbacks.

How to Make an Appointment at HEV Dermatology in South Korea

At HEV Dermatology, you can check available appointment times and prices through the BeautsGO Chinese interface, or directly contact the Chinese-speaking director via WeChat. I personally recommend checking the price ranges for various treatments on their official website or BeautsGO first before deciding whether to request Dr. Shen specifically, as this will give you a better idea of what to expect during the consultation.
