韓國醫美一站式諮詢服務

No. 403, Jiangnan Da Road, 8th Floor, 343 Jiangnan Tower. When I emerge from Exit 2 of Jiangnan Station on the subway, I can immediately see this office building. Rejuel Clinic’s Gangnam branch is located inside – a Dermatology clinic with only one director in charge. Over the past few years of practicing medical aesthetics in South Korea, I have experienced both standardized, assembly-line-style clinics and those where the director personally handles all consultations and procedures. I chose Rejuel this time because a friend told me, “Director Zhao Hyun-gon handles everything himself, from the initial consultation to the actual treatment – it’s not like other places where different people are involved in each step.” I went there with some skepticism, but this article will share my true experiences.

Rejuel Clinic Gangnam Branch

Gangnam Dermatology: One-on-one consultations with the director

The Dermatology clinic, just a 3-minute walk from Gangnam Station, is managed by Director Zhao Xiangen, who personally handles everything from initial consultations to actual treatments. Their signature service is the combined use of the American-made Thermage FLX900 and LDM technologies, with Chinese-speaking staff providing services without any sales pressure or job transfers.

① Why choose Rejuel? Because I’ve been cheated by someone taking over my order.

Last year, I went to a chain clinic in Gangnam for glow injections. The initial consultation was conducted by the clinic director, but the actual procedure was performed by a young doctor. My face swelled for three days after the treatment, and only later did I find out that this doctor had only been practicing for two years. Since then, I have firmly adhered to one principle: the person who conducts the initial consultation should also perform the procedure.

This is exactly what attracts me most about Rejuel. Director Zhao Xiangen takes full responsibility for the entire process, ensuring that there is no possibility of two different “faces” being created during the consultation and treatment. In fact, this is quite uncommon in Dermatology clinics in Gangnam – many large clinics have directors who only handle consultations, while injections and laser treatments are entrusted to subordinates.

Another reason is transportation. It only takes 3 minutes to walk from Exit 2 of Gangnam Station; there’s no need to transfer trains or take a taxi. If you have ever visited a clinic in Seongsu-dong that requires transferring lines, you will understand how important convenient transportation is. After a treatment, your face is usually red, and the last thing you want to do is stand on the subway for half an hour.

② Basic information about the hospital: A small but highly specialized Dermatology department

Rejuel has two stores in South Korea: one located on Dongseong-ro in Daegu and the other in Gangnam, Seoul. The Gangnam store I visited is situated on the 8th floor of the 343 Gangnam Tower. It isn’t particularly large in size, but it is well-equipped. The waiting area features separate private booths, which is different from some clinics where people have to sit in a row in the lobby.

③ Director Zhao Xiangen: The consultation lasts for 40 minutes, and the entire process is conducted through translation software.

During the consultation, Director Zhao held a tablet, examining my skin condition while using a translation software to type his notes. Although he didn’t speak Chinese, the translation software was more than sufficient to convey all the key information. He examined my skin very carefully—not just giving a quick look before issuing a prescription. There was a spot of pigmentation on my cheek, and he used a handheld magnifying glass to study it for nearly two minutes before offering his advice.

The entire consultation lasted about 40 minutes. He asked me three questions: what treatments I had undergone in the past six months, whether I was taking any medications, and whether my skin tended to be oily or dry. Then he presented me with two options to choose from, without trying to persuade me to add additional treatments – which I really appreciated.

④ Featured services and price references (in Taiwanese dollars)

Rejuel’s flagship products include the American version of Thermage FLX 900-pack LDM droplet Lifting and Soothing Mask. This combination makes perfect sense: Thermage is used for tightening the skin, LDM helps with post-treatment soothing and repair, while the mask reduces redness. All these services are included in one package, eliminating the need to pay for them separately. Below are the price references for some of the popular treatments (in Taiwanese dollars; the exchange rate may vary, so please refer to the actual amount).

※ The above prices are for reference only; the actual charges will be subject to the hospital’s official rates. Booking through BeautsGO may entitle you to additional discounts.

⑤ My personal experience: Thermage FLX900 + LDM

I chose the signature package: Thermage FLX 900 treatments + LDM + facial mask. The entire process took approximately 2 hours.

Step 1: In-person consultation (40 minutes)

Director Zhao examined my skin, asked about my medical history, and used a handheld magnifying glass to check the pigmentation. He presented two options: Option A was to use Thermage alone, while Option B combined Thermage with LDM treatment. He recommended Option B, as LDM could help reduce swelling and promote recovery after the Thermage procedure. I chose Option B.

Step 2: Local anesthetic administration (30 minutes)

Apply the numbing ointment for 30 minutes, and the nurse will check on you regularly. You can use your phone during this time; there is Wi-Fi in the waiting area.

Step 3: SWOMAN treatment (45 minutes)

Director Zhao personally performed the treatment. After each shot, he would ask, “Does it hurt?” The area around my jawbone did feel a bit painful, but it was still tolerable. He would adjust the intensity based on my reactions. A total of 900 shots were applied to my entire face and jawline, and the whole process took approximately 45 minutes. Having compared the prices of Thermage treatments in South Korea before, I must say that Rejuel’s control over the treatment intensity is indeed very precise.

Step 4: SWOMAN Calms Down (15 minutes)

Right after the Thermage treatment, I immediately underwent LDM. LDM uses ultrasonic waves for penetration; it’s painless and feels cool on the skin. After the treatment, the redness on my face had significantly diminished. Finally, I applied a calming facial mask for 15 minutes, and that completed the entire process.

⑥ Horizontal comparison: Rejuel vs other clinics in Gangnam

When it comes to seeking medical beauty treatments in Gangnam, there are countless options available. I have previously visited the Dermatology department at Apgujeong and some clinics in Sinsa-dong. Now, let’s compare Rejuel’s positioning in this context:

In simple terms, the Rejuel option falls somewhere between “value for money” and “quality”. It is a bit more expensive than chain clinics but offers much better service; it is also cheaper than the high-end options in Cheongdam, yet the quality of the experience is comparable. If you have a limited budget and are concerned about the possibility of changing providers, Rejuel represents a compromise solution.

⑦ 5 Little Tips from Those Who Have Been There

1. Avoid taking the lunch break. If you plan to rest from 13:00 to 14:00, don’t waste your time going there. It’s better to schedule your appointment for the first session at 10:00 in the morning, when there will be fewer people and you won’t have to wait.

2. Make reservations in advance. There is only one director, and the number of appointments available each day is limited. It is especially difficult to get a reservation on weekends, so it is recommended to book at least one week in advance.

3. Bring along any previous treatment records. If you have undergone any other cosmetic procedures within the past six months, please inform Director Zhao. He will adjust your treatment plan based on the condition of your skin, rather than simply pushing certain treatments on you.

4. On the day of the procedure, Rima Ji should not wear makeup. Apply the anesthetic directly after arriving at the clinic; wearing makeup would only waste time. Do not apply makeup on the same day either to allow your skin to rest.

5. Using LDM packaging ensures no losses. If only Thermage treatment were used alone, the redness would last for 1-2 days; however, with the addition of LDM, the redness can be reduced on the same day. The extra cost is well worth it, as it saves time on recovery.

⑧ FAQ: Questions You May Have

Q1: What are the differences between Rejuel’s Gangnam store and Dongseong-ro store?

The Dongseong-ro branch is located in Daegu, while the Gangnam branch is in Seoul. Both branches belong to the Rejuel brand, but they have different directors and slightly different facilities. Foreign tourists generally prefer the Gangnam branch due to its convenient location and Chinese-speaking services.

Q2: What if the hospital director doesn’t speak Chinese?

The director uses translation software for communication, ensuring that all key terms are accurately conveyed. The clinic also provides Chinese-speaking customer service who can help with making appointments in advance. During my in-person visit, I didn’t encounter any communication issues; Director Zhao types very quickly.

Q3: How soon after a Thermage treatment can one apply makeup?

It is recommended to wait for 24 hours. The swelling usually subsides within 2 to 4 hours on the same day (the effect is even faster if LDM treatment is used). The next day, you can continue with your regular skincare and makeup routine, but avoid high-temperature saunas.

Q4: How much cheaper is it than having Thermage treatment in Taiwan?

In Taiwan, the Thermage FLX 900 treatment costs approximately NT$50,000 to NT$70,000, while the Rejuel LDM package is only around NT$30,000. If you include the cost of airfare and accommodation, it’s more cost-effective to undergo two or more treatments. However, if you only opt for one treatment, the total cost may not necessarily be lower when you add in the airfare expenses.

Q5: Will I be pressured to opt for additional services?

No. This is exactly what I was most satisfied with. In fact, Director Zhao advised me to “try Thermage first to see the results; we can discuss Pico treatment another time.” There was not a single bit of sales pressure throughout the whole process.

Q6: What precautions should be taken after the procedure?

For the first three days, avoid high temperatures (such as saunas and hot yoga), increase hydration, and use physical sun protection measures. Rejuel will provide you with a list of post-treatment precautions; just follow them carefully.

⑨ Conclusion: Who is Rejuel Gangnam store suitable for?

If this is your first time undergoing cosmetic procedures in South Korea, and you are concerned about communication barriers or the possibility of being handed over to another specialist, or if you would like the chief physician to be involved throughout the entire process, the Rejuel Gangnam branch is definitely worth considering. Although the prices are not the cheapest, the level of service provided is quite high. The combination of a 40-minute consultation followed by direct treatment by the chief physician is quite rare in Gangnam.

If your budget is extremely limited and you just want to get a quick treatment, or if you’re interested in high-end customized options, you might want to look elsewhere. Rejuel falls in the middle – neither too expensive nor too cheap, but the experience definitely lives up to the price.

One last reminder: Making reservations through BeautsGO may offer additional discounts, which is certainly more reliable than making random phone calls on your own. This price comparison of Thermage treatments will help you compare prices quickly and easily.
