韓國醫美一站式諮詢服務

When it comes to medical aesthetics in South Korea, many people’s first thought is: “With so many clinics in Gangnam, Seoul, which one should I choose?”

Before I went to South Korea for my first skin care treatment, I read at least twenty online reviews. The more I read, the more anxious I became—some people said one place offered great value for money, others claimed that a particular clinic was truly specialized, some recommended a streamlined service process, while others insisted on one-on-one consultations… Who is right?

Later, I lived in South Korea for some time and gradually realized that when South Koreans choose a Dermatology clinic, they do not rely as much on recommendations from internet celebrities as foreign tourists do. What they value more are the history of the clinic, the qualifications of the doctors working there, and the reputation built through word of mouth.

What I would like to introduce today is a well-established clinic that many local residents of Gangnam in Seoul regularly visit – the Goun Sesan Kim Yang Je Jang Bong Seok Dermatology Clinic.

I. Why do people from Gangnam, who have been associated with this Dermatology institution for 41 years, continue to return for follow-up consultations?

The JinYang Ji Dermatology Institute of the Beauty World was established in 1984 and has now accumulated over 41 years of clinical experience.

What does the number 41 represent? It means the following:

• I have seen a wide variety of skin types and have experience in dealing with all kinds of situations.
• With extensive technical expertise accumulated over time, it is possible to retain customers without relying on low-price promotions.
• A team composed of multiple specialist physicians, each with their own areas of expertise – rather than relying on just one person to handle everything.

In Gangnam, Seoul – an area with an extremely high concentration of Dermatology clinics – the fact that a business has been able to survive for 41 years while maintaining a good reputation speaks volumes.

II. President Jin Yangji and President Zhang Fengshuo: These two specialists each have their own areas of expertise.

When choosing a clinic, the question that many people care most about is: “Are the doctors at this clinic trustworthy?”

The Kim Yang-ji Dermatology Institute is led jointly by Director Kim Yang-ji and Director Zhang Fengshuo, both of whom are official members of the South Korea Dermatology Society and possess extensive clinical experience.

President Kim Yang-ji is a seasoned figure in the field of dermatological research in South Korea. He is an official member of the Korean Society of Dermatology and has accumulated extensive expertise in the areas of facial rejuvenation and anti-aging treatments. In addition, he holds the position of visiting professor at several medical schools in South Korea.

Dean Zhang Fengshuo is currently an outpatient professor at the Dermatology Department of Busan National University. He has previously served as the head of the Dermatology Department at Busan Medical Center. He is a manufacturer-certified physician for anti-aging devices such as HIFU and Thermage FLX, and specializes in precise lifting treatments and contour shaping procedures.

III. For 41 years, I have focused on only one thing: using genuine equipment and applying precise dosages of the relevant substances.

In the process of choosing medical beauty services in South Korea, many people’s second major concern is: “Are the equipment and medications used by this clinic genuine?”

At Jinyangji Dermatology, only original equipment and genuine injections that have been certified by the FDA and KFDA (South Korea’s Food and Drug Administration) are used throughout the entire process.

• Thermage FLX uses original probes.
• The HIFU device (Ulthera Prime) is operated by medically certified professionals who customize the number of treatment sessions according to the individual patient’s skin condition.
• Botulinum toxin and fillers must strictly adhere to the principle of using “genuine products in the correct dosage” during injections.

This principle is particularly important for those who are going to South Korea for medical beauty treatments for the first time – the actual differences in the same treatment offered by different clinics can be quite significant.

IV. On-site visits: What was your experience on your first visit?

My first visit to JinYang Ji Dermatology was when I went there with a friend for a Pico laser treatment. The atmosphere upon entering was quite different from that of the many tourist-oriented clinics in Myeongdong – here, the environment and vibe were more geared towards “professional medical care” rather than “commercial packaging”.

Check-in at the front desk: There are staff members who speak Chinese to assist you in filling out the basic information, so you don’t need to worry about language barriers.

Skin examination: The nurse will first use specialized equipment to conduct a comprehensive skin examination and record all relevant data.

Doctor’s consultation: Based on the test results, Dean Zhang Fengshuo provided a very detailed analysis report.

What impressed me the most was that Dean Zhang Fengshuo did not try to promote any additional, expensive treatments. He clearly told me, “Given your current skin condition, it would be better to start with two basic moisturization treatments first to restore the integrity of your skin’s barrier. Only after that can you proceed with laser treatments for better results.”

Such advice that tells you what not to do first actually increased my trust in this clinic significantly.

V. Is it suitable for first-time visitors to South Korea to undergo cosmetic procedures?

In the following situations, I would particularly recommend considering Jin Yang Ji:

• If you are looking for reliable anti-aging treatments such as Thermage or HIFU, both directors have extensive experience in facial lifting procedures, ensuring natural results after treatment.
• High standards are required regarding the safety of injections: only genuine products and accurate dosages are allowed; any dilution or cutting corners are strictly prohibited.
• During my first visit to South Korea, I was concerned about the language barrier. However, staff who could speak Chinese were available to assist me throughout the entire trip, so I didn’t need to find an interpreter separately.
• It is important to have someone provide follow-up care after the procedure: a comprehensive post-treatment management process that ranges from “pre-departure consultation” to “continuous follow-up after returning home” should be established.

VI. Practical reservation information compilation

Written at the end

Among the numerous Dermatology clinics in Gangnam, Seoul, Kim Yang-ji’s clinic cannot be considered a “internet-famous clinic” – it lacks flashy packaging or extensive endorsements from KOLs. Instead, it has built a loyal base of local patients through 41 years of accumulated reputation.

Such clinics that rely on actual quality rather than marketing might be more suitable for those who are going to South Korea for medical beauty treatments for the first time and don’t know how to make a choice – because 41 years of experience is in itself the best form of selection.

If you are considering going to South Korea for skin treatment, it is recommended that you schedule a consultation with Dr. Zhang Fengshuo at BeautsGO first. He will be able to provide you with professional advice based on the actual condition of your skin.
