To be honest, too many people around me have tried various anti-aging methods – HIFU, Thermage, thread lifting, Rejuran… The options are so numerous that it’s hard to keep up. But in reality, there aren’t many clinics and doctors that one can truly trust when it comes to treating their face.
While doing my homework, I repeatedly came across a name: Associate Director Pei Zaihe, who works at the DAN-A Dermatology Center in Myeongdong. Upon further research, I discovered that he is not just an ordinary injection specialist but also a resident physician who graduated from the Seoul National University Hospital. He holds certifications from various professional organizations, including the South Korea Association of Cosmetic Laser Medicine, the Society of Cosmetic Dermatological Surgery, and the Association of Aesthetic Medicine. He is truly the kind of doctor that his peers would also seek out for treatment.
Why choose Vice President Pei Zaihe? Three compelling reasons.
With a background from an academy, I possess a solid technical foundation.
Vice President Pei comes from the residency program at Seoul National University Hospital, which is considered a highly prestigious qualification in South Korea’s medical aesthetics industry. The residency training program at Seoul National University Hospital is known for its rigor; physicians who complete it possess a solid foundation in anatomy and clinical judgment.
② Regenerative therapy is our core strength, while we also specialize in precise injections.
Deputy Director Pei’s core expertise lies in regenerative therapies, and he is particularly skilled in the precise injection of Rejuran products (both the black box and white box series). He adheres to the strict aseptic procedure of “changing the needle after each 1 centum core of injection,” and his precise control over the injection depth and dosage is crucial—such details often determine the final effectiveness of Rejuran treatments.
In addition to Rejuran, Vice President Pei also offers a comprehensive facial rejuvenation package that includes the following services:
- Thermage FLX (US version): 600 treatments, approximately ¥1.95 million
- Korean version of the Oligio X ultrasonic device: 300 shots for approximately ₩750,000
- Juvederm Filler: approximately 500,000 yen per 1 centum core
- Rejuran HB Regenerative Glow Toner: 2 centum cores approximately ¥310,000
③ The vice president personally oversees the entire process, ensuring no standardized, assembly-line approach is used.
Deputy Director Pei personally oversees the entire treatment process for every patient, from the pre-operative assessment to the post-operative care guidance. In Myeongdong, where numerous similar clinics are concentrated in one area, achieving such attention to detail is no easy feat.
Analysis of the Facial Lifting Procedures Specialized by Deputy Director Pei Zaihe
When it comes to “facial lifting,” many Taiwanese people immediately think of HIFU or Thermage. Although Deputy Director Pei’s expertise lies primarily in Rejuran-based regeneration treatments, during actual consultations, he will flexibly combine various instrumental lifting procedures based on the skin condition and characteristics of each client, thereby achieving a synergistic effect where 1+1>2.
Thermage FLX (US version) – Deep-tissue tightening and anti-aging treatment
Thermage FLX is currently the gold standard for non-invasive radiofrequency skin tightening treatments. It stimulates the production of new Collagen by heating the dermis, thereby achieving a Lifting effect on facial contours. During the procedure, Deputy Director Pei adjusts the radiofrequency energy parameters according to the differences in skin thickness in different areas of the face (Forehead, eye area, cheeks, jawline), ensuring maximum effectiveness while minimizing the risk of burns.
- Suitable for: People aged 25–55 with loose facial contours, deepened Nasolabial Fold Correction, or blurred jawlines.
- Recovery period: Slight redness may occur within 1 to 3 days; no special care is required.
- Results are visible: Within 2 to 4 weeks, the contours begin to tighten gradually; the effects last for 6 to 12 months.
Korean version of Oligio X ultrasonic device – layered, targeted lifting technology
The principle of the ultrasonic cannon (focusing ultrasonic waves) is to precisely concentrate ultrasonic energy on the SMAS fascia layer. By causing thermal damage, it stimulates the contraction and reorganization of collagen, thereby achieving Lifting effects. The Oligio X is a officially certified model in South Korea and offers excellent value for money. It is often recommended by Deputy Director Pei as an ideal entry-level option for those who are new to using such devices for Lifting purposes.
Rejuran series – unleashing the power of regeneration from the dermis layer
Rejuran PN is currently the most popular regenerative hyaluronic acid injection series in South Korea, available in various versions such as Volume (for volume enhancement and regeneration), Classic (for basic moisturization), and HB Plus (high-concentration formula). Deputy Director Pei’s Rejuran PN injections are known for their precise, deep-layer delivery, providing significant improvements in areas such as the Forehead, fine lines under the eyes, sunken cheeks, and the surrounding areas of the Nasolabial Fold Correction.
Rejuran and instrumental lifting are not mutually exclusive options. In fact, many of Vice President Pei’s clients choose the “Ulthrea + Rejuran HB package”: first, the Ulthrea is used to perform targeted lifting on the contour fascia layer, followed by the application of 2 centum core of Rejuran HB to nourish the dermis layer, providing a more comprehensive treatment approach. The total cost of this package is approximately ₩1.8 million, offering excellent value for money.

Essential Pre-Surgery Information: Who Is Suitable for Consulting with Deputy Director Pei?
- If you want to use Rejuran but have concerns about the number of injection sessions required – Vice President Pei’s approach of “changing the needle after every 1 centum core of injection” represents a high standard in the industry.
- When I first came into contact with South Korea’s medical beauty industry, I had no idea what the differences were between those operating on a mass-scale and the clinics I chose to visit.
- I hope that a doctor will personally conduct the entire consultation from start to finish, rather than having different people present each time.
- I want to pursue a comprehensive anti-aging approach, rather than focusing on just one specific treatment.
- There is a clear demand for improvements in facial contours (Nasolabial Fold Correction, sagging facial features, jawline).

A genuine account of the postoperative recovery period
- On that day – Day 1: Slight redness or a burning sensation; the soothing mask provided by the clinic can help relieve these symptoms. Avoid wearing makeup and staying in hot environments.
- On the 2nd to 3rd day: The swelling will have largely subsided, and you can now apply light makeup as usual. Resume your regular skincare routine, but avoid using irritating ingredients such as retinol or salicylic acid.
- Days 7 to 14: Collagen regeneration begins, and a gradual tightening of the skin’s contours becomes noticeable; sun protection remains of utmost importance.
- Day 30 and beyond: The effects enter a stable phase, and the next maintenance treatment can be scheduled according to individual needs.
⚠️ Three tips to avoid common mistakes for newcomers in the medical beauty industry
⚠️ The price traps associated with additional services offered on-site during the treatment: Upon arrival at the clinic, you may be advised to add Rejuran or other treatments, and the oral quotes given on the spot usually cost 20–30% more than the prices quoted during reservation. It is recommended that you clearly list all the treatments you wish to undergo when making a reservation through BeautsGO, and request a written quote for the entire package.
⚠️ The necessity of having an interpreter: If it is your first time undergoing anti-aging treatments in Myeongdong (especially when it comes to communicating about the parameters of the equipment used), it is highly recommended to bring an interpreter who speaks Chinese. You can refer to the “Myeongdong Beginner’s Guide” to find out which clinics offer Chinese-speaking services.
⚠️ It is recommended not to undergo high-energy phototherapy within 1 month after receiving Thermage treatment: After Thermage treatment, the skin is in a phase of collagen regeneration. If high-energy phototherapy is performed during this period, it may reduce the effectiveness of Thermage or even cause skin sensitivity. It is essential to inform the clinic in advance about any treatments you have received in the past 30 days as a basic measure of self-protection.
Q&A: The most frequently asked questions from readers to Deputy Director Pei
Q: Was Vice President Pei Zaihe personally in charge of the procedure?
A: Yes. From the pre-operative assessment to the post-operative guidance, Vice President Pei was personally involved in every step of the process. This is the basic commitment of Myeongdong DAN-A Dermatology to every patient seeking cosmetic treatment.
Q: Which is more suitable for me, Thermage or HIFU?
A: The two
work on different principles. Thermage uses radiofrequency to heat the dermis, focusing on tightening the skin; HIFU uses focused ultrasonic waves to target the SMAS fascia layer, aiming to lift the contours. Vice President Pei recommends combining both treatments for the best results, but those trying it for the first time may want to start with the Oligio X ultrasonic device for more noticeable effects.
Q: How many treatments with Rejuran are required to see
results?
A: Most people notice improvements in their skin quality 2–3 weeks after the first injection. A full course of treatment consists of 3 injections, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, and the effects can last for 6–12 months. Deputy Director Pei will recommend the appropriate frequency of treatments based on the condition of your skin.
Q: How much in advance should I make a reservatio
n?
A: It is recommended to reserve 7-14 days in advance. During peak seasons (such as holidays or before consecutive weekends), it may be necessary to book even earlier. When making a reservation through BeautsGO, you can specify the doctor you would like to see, which reduces the risk of being assigned to a random doctor upon arrival.
Q: What should I do if foreign tourists don’t understand the local langu
age?
A：DAN-A Dermatology in Myeongdong provides Chinese-speaking services, and the team led by Associate Director Pei has a relatively well-established process for receiving foreign tourists. If you are concerned about potential communication barriers before the procedure, you can request the arrangement of a Chinese translator to accompany you during the appointment.
