To be honest, every time someone asks me, “Is there a reliable Dermatology clinic near Exit 6 of Myeongdong Station?”, I’m always taken aback—because there are simply too many of them. In fact, as soon as you step out of the subway station and start walking forward, two out of every three clinics you see are Dermatology clinics. But just because there are many doesn’t necessarily mean they are good; foreigners who visit there for the first time can easily end up making mistakes.
I visited four relatively well-known clinics near Exit 6 of Myeongdong several times and tried each of their services in detail. In this article, I have shared my real experiences. If you are also struggling with the question of “which clinic to choose after coming out of Exit 6,” I hope this article can help you save you some time in making this decision.
If this is your first time visiting Myeongdong for a Dermatology appointment, we recommend that you first read this guide for newcomers to Myeongdong. Understanding the basic concepts beforehand will help you make more informed choices when selecting a clinic.
Before choosing a Dermatology department, I believed these four aspects were the most important.
Many people choose a Dermatology clinic solely based on price, but after visiting several of them, I realized that there are actually four more crucial factors that foreigners consider when selecting a clinic:
- Language services: Is Chinese translation available? Is the translation provided on-site or online? These factors directly determine whether you will be able to clearly express what you want.
- Convenience of transportation: How far is it from the subway station? After getting your face swollen from the treatment, you really don’t want to walk too far.
- Areas of expertise: Different clinics focus on different services – go to one if you want lifting effects, and another if you’re looking for a glowing complexion. Make sure to choose the right specialist according to your needs.
- Price transparency: Are the quotes clear and straightforward? Are there any hidden surcharges? This is exactly what foreigners fear the most.
As I mentioned in the article about the map showing the locations of dermatology clinics in Myeongdong, the area around Exit 6 is where the highest concentration of dermatology clinics in Myeongdong can be found. Three out of the four clinics in this area are within a three-minute walk of each other, which is extremely convenient for tourists.
A quick comparison of 4 institutions: Who is suitable for whom?
Let’s start with a comparison table to make it clear at a glance:
| institute | Away from Exit 6 | Chinese translation | Strengths | Who it is suitable for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reberry | Just a 2-minute walk | ✅ Mandarin spoken on-site | Thread lifting, HydraFacial, and hyaluronic acid injections | Doing it for the first time and wanting to get started in a gentle way |
| doctorpetit | Just a 3-minute walk | ✅ Mandarin spoken on-site | Juvelook’s Youthful Glow Skin Care and JAMBER Thread Lifting Treatment | Those who are looking for a good cost-performance ratio and considering getting a Juvelook treatment. |
| DAN-A in Myeongdong | Just a 2-minute walk | ✅ Mandarin spoken on-site | Meichao Lift, Rejuran, anti-aging treatments | For those over 30 who want to fight aging and are looking for Director Pei Zaihe’s services… |
| HeyDay | Just a 3-minute walk | ✅ Online Chinese content | Inmode, Pico lasers, botulinum toxin | Those who want to undergo laser treatments or Botox injections and prefer a faster pace. |
Reberry: For my first Dermatology appointment, I chose this clinic because I felt completely at ease there.
My first experience with medical aesthetics in Myeongdong was at Reberry. The reason was simple: a friend recommended them, saying, “They are especially friendly to foreigners.” Indeed, when I went there, the receptionists could speak Chinese, and someone accompanied me throughout the entire process, from consultation to the actual treatment, so I never had to worry about not understanding Korean.
Reberry specializes in thread lifting and HydraFacial treatments. If it’s your first time undergoing cosmetic procedures, HydraFacial is an excellent entry-point option – it’s painless, requires no recovery time, and leaves your skin looking radiant. You can go out and about as usual the very next day.
For thread lifting, they use relatively fine PDO threads, which provide a more natural lifting effect without causing the sensation of being “dragged into becoming someone else.” The recovery period is usually around 3 to 5 days, during which there may be some mild swelling and discomfort, but these symptoms are not very noticeable.
In terms of prices, HydraFacial starts at around ₩150,000, while hyaluronic acid injections begin at ₩198,000 – which are considered reasonably affordable in the Myeongdong area. For a more comprehensive list of services and their prices, you can visit BeautsGO directly.
doctorpetit: If you want to achieve the youthful, glowing skin of Juvelook, come to this place.
Doctorpetit was my second choice for medical beauty treatments. I chose them specifically because they specialize in providing Juvelook services. Their flagship product, the “Juvelook Youthful Glow Serum,” actually combines Juvelook technology with hyaluronic acid injections, resulting in longer-lasting effects—around 6 to 8 months.
When I went there, I found that their IPL photorejuvenation treatment was also very popular. With a price starting from ₩120,000, it is quite competitive in Myeongdong. If you have oily skin or large Pores, IPL is definitely worth considering.
There is on-site Chinese language support for translation services, and the medical team performing the procedures is said to have over 10 years of experience. Overall, the experience was truly “highly cost-effective” – nothing too fancy, but everything necessary was available. For more details about the process, you can refer to my previous guide on how to make an appointment at doctorpetit.
DAN-A in Myeongdong: For those over 30 who want to fight aging, choose this place.
DAN-A is definitely the best option among my friends in the medical beauty industry. In particular, the anti-aging treatment program led by Deputy Director Pei Zhahe attracts many people who come specifically for it. I had a HIFU treatment once, and the results were indeed noticeable – one week after the procedure, the contours of my jawline became clearer, and I looked much more energetic.
Their Rejuran is also very popular, with prices starting from ₩350,000 for the black box version. Both Rejuran and Juvelook are classified as “Collagen stimulators,” but Rejuran provides a more immediate filling effect, while Juvelook offers a more gentle and natural result. It depends on which effect you prefer.
Among the four options, DAN-A offers prices that are on the higher side, but their equipment and the quality of their doctors are indeed quite superior. For a detailed list of fees, please refer to this article on the price schedule of DAN-A in Myeongdong.
HeyDay: The efficient choice between lasers and botulinum toxin treatments
Compared to the first three institutions mentioned, HeyDay has a different approach – it’s more of an efficient “fast-in, fast-out” type of clinic. They specialize in Inmode Diamond MicroLift and Pico laser treatments. If you’re looking to get rid of spots, Pores, or have Botox injections, HeyDay is very efficient at providing these services.
The translation is done online in Chinese (not on-site), so the procedure is carried out at a relatively fast pace, which is more suitable for those who have already undergone several treatments and know exactly what they want. If it is your first time undergoing cosmetic surgery, you might find the process a bit too fast-paced.
At Inmode, the prices start from ₩250,000 for Pico treatments, ₩200,000 for Pico procedures, and ₩150,000 for botulinum toxin injections – which are considered moderate in Myeongdong. Overall, it is a clinic where you can “get the treatment done right away once you arrive”.
For people with different needs, which companies would I recommend respectively?
Finally, let me help you make an informed choice so you don’t have to hesitate any longer:
- My first experience with medical aesthetics → Reberry: The environment is friendly, the process is clear, and there is no pressure to purchase additional services – perfect for beginners.
- If you’re considering getting a Juvelook treatment / baby face injection, then doctorpetit’s Juvelook baby face glow treatment is definitely a great option – it offers excellent value for money.
- For those over 30 who want to take anti-aging seriously → DAN-A in Myeongdong: The advanced beauty treatment combined with Rejuran offered by Deputy Director Pei Zaihe delivers remarkable anti-aging results.
- If you want to undergo laser treatments or Botox injections and prioritize efficiency, then HeyDay is the right choice – fast-paced, goal-oriented, and you can leave right after the procedure is completed.

⚠️ Tips to avoid pitfalls when visiting a Dermatology clinic at Exit 6 of Myeongdong
- ⚠️ Do not follow those who solicit customers on the street: When you exit at Exit 6, someone will approach you and say, “The Dermatology clinic is upstairs.” Most of these people are intermediaries who will take you to clinics that charge a commission, and the prices there may be 20–30% higher than if you book directly.
- ⚠️ Make sure to book in advance: Popular clinics at Exit 6 of Myeongdong are usually fully booked on the day of visit, especially on weekends. It is recommended to book at least 3-5 days in advance through BeautsGO, and you can also specify the time slot for the Chinese translation service.
- ⚠️ Make sure to clarify whether the quoted price includes taxes: Some institutions provide prices excluding taxes, and a 10% VAT is added at the time of payment. Please confirm this before making a reservation to avoid exceeding your budget.
Pre-departure checklist (it is recommended to complete it 3 days in advance)
- ☐ Ensure that your passport is still valid for at least 6 months.
- ☐ Book a appointment at the clinic and confirm the time slot for the Chinese translation service.
- ☐ Stop using irritating skincare products such as retinol and salicylic acid 3 days before the procedure.
- ☐ Avoid drinking alcohol and engaging in strenuous exercise 1 day before the procedure.
- ☐ On the day of the procedure, do not wear makeup or apply sunscreen (makeup will be removed at the clinic, but it’s better to bring your own clean products).
