When it comes to getting medical beauty treatments in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul, many people’s first reaction is, “It must be really expensive there.” I made a special trip to Antian Anti-Aging Hospital in Cheongdam just to check whether their Thermage devices were genuine and what the actual prices were. What surprised me the most about this visit was their relaxed approach—they don’t push hard for sales, the director performs the procedures personally, and all costs are clearly listed on the spot. In this article, I’ll cover everything I learned, including the address, transportation options, information about Director Wang Sujin, prices as of 2026, and several common pitfalls to watch out for.
- Key Feature 1: Located in the prime Cheongdam area, it focuses on “mid-to-high-end anti-aging” treatments, offering original equipment such as Thermage FLX, Ulthrea, and Rejuran, all of which are genuine products.
- Key Advantage 2: Led by Director Wang Sujin—hailing from Seoul National University Hospital with over 20 years of clinical experience—she insists on performing all procedures personally rather than delegating them to assistants for routine handling.
- Key Advantage 3: Same price as in South Korea; detailed pre-surgery quote provided; probe is opened on-site to verify the anti-counterfeiting code — a level of transparency that’s rare even in Cheongdam-dong.
- Key Feature 4: 100% appointment-based service with one-on-one consultations; fluent in Chinese. Just a 10-meter walk from Exit 13 of Cheongdam Station.
My verdict: If you’re worried about getting overcharged as a tourist and still want top-tier anti-aging treatments from a specialist, Antian is definitely worth adding to your list for Cheongdam-dong. However, its prices are significantly higher than those of large chain clinics. Those with limited budgets might want to start with fillers or basic treatment devices first.

II. The key advantages of Cheongdam Antian Anti-Aging Hospital: Why I’m willing to make the trip specifically to Cheongdam-dong
On Cheongdam-dong, even just any ordinary Dermatology clinic might be on the exclusive list of celebrities and wealthy women. The biggest difference from the mass-produced clinics in Gangnam is that these clinics in Cheongdam-dong don’t treat patients in bulk; instead, each doctor conducts a personal assessment and formulates a treatment plan tailored to individual needs. Antian is considered relatively low-key here—its sign isn’t very noticeable, located on the 3rd floor of a building, in the kind of spot that “only regular clients would know about.”
What really matters most to me this time are two things: first, whether the Thermage probe is original; second, who will actually perform the treatment. At Antian, Director Wang Sujin personally conducts the consultation and performs the procedure herself, rather than delegating it to assistants. For someone like me who’s worried about being treated as a test subject, this factor is more important than anything else. Plus, with their approach to anti-aging that emphasizes “no sales pressure, just a great experience,” there’s no constant pushing of packages throughout the process, making it much more comfortable.
Evidence 1: Both Antian’s official website and the BeautsGO clinic page state that “appointments are required 100%, treatments are performed personally by the clinic director, and a detailed quote is provided before the procedure.” Source: BeautsGO clinic page (antian-clinic) and publicly available information on Antian’s official English website.
III. Check-out process at Cheongdam Antian Anti-Aging Hospital: 5 steps from booking to aftercare
- Initial consultation: Submit your requests via BeautsGO or the official website, along with photos of yourself without makeup (from multiple angles), and a Chinese-speaking customer service representative will get in touch.
- Check-in at the clinic: It’s just a 2-minute walk from Exit 13 of Cheongdam Station. A deposit of ₩30,000 is required (which can be applied toward the treatment).
- VISIA Skin Analysis + Consultation with the Director: Dr. Wang Sujin uses the VISIA skin analysis device to examine the data first, before discussing treatment options, expected outcomes, and potential risks—she doesn’t push any procedures as soon as you walk in.
- Plan Confirmation and Treatment: A quote including the cost of the probe and anesthesia fees is signed prior to the procedure; for Thermage/HIFU, the probe is opened on-site to verify its authenticity code before treatment is carried out.
- Post-procedure follow-up: Regularly check on recovery progress after leaving the clinic. Most phototherapy treatments require no recovery time, allowing you to go shopping right away.

VI. Cheongdam Antian Anti-Aging Hospital vs Cheongdam Minit: Which One Should You Choose Among These Two in the Same Area?
Also located in Cheongdam-dong, Cheongdam Minit Dermatology is another clinic that’s often compared to others in the area. Minit opts for a treatment approach that combines the Ulthrea device with Sofwave, using officially certified equipment. Its director, Lee Min-ji, is an instructor trained by the original Ulthera manufacturer in the U.S., and its prices are relatively more affordable. On the other hand, Antian offers a luxury experience centered around personalized treatment by the director itself, with private appointment scheduling. While its prices are slightly higher, it stands out for its transparency and high level of service quality. My recommendation: If you have a limited budget and are looking for device-based treatments, Minit is an excellent choice; if you prefer one-on-one care at the director’s level without rushing, Antian would be better suited for you.
VII. Practical Tips for Making Appointments and Getting to Antian Anti-Aging Hospital in Cheongdam
Antian operates on a 100% appointment-only basis, so it’s not recommended to show up without an appointment. The best approach is to check their schedule and make a reservation through BeautsGO before you go; their Chinese-speaking customer service will help confirm available time slots with Director Wang Sujin. If you’re also comparing other anti-aging clinics in Gangnam, you might want to read the article featuring Director Heo Hee SHIN from HEV. All three clinics follow the same model of “personal consultation by the director + identical prices in both Korean and Chinese currencies,” so take some time to compare before making a decision.
Data Point 3: Cheongdam-dong is regarded as Seoul’s premium hub for medical aesthetics services. Most clinics here offer personalized evaluations by doctors on a one-client-per-therapist basis, resulting in higher prices compared to Gangnam’s chain clinics, yet they enjoy better reputations.
