Have you ever experienced this? After going through so much trouble to arrange your schedule and book your flight, only to discover upon arriving in Myeongdong that the Dermatology clinic you wanted to visit is closed on Sundays, leaving you with no choice but to stand there in frustration?
I am the person who once stood outside the entrance of the Myeongdong subway station on a Sunday afternoon and spent hours checking the opening hours of various businesses one by one on my phone. In order to prevent others from making the same mistake, I spent an entire afternoon researching the opening hours of over 10 Dermatology clinics in Myeongdong and compiled this list of those that are open on Sundays—a total of 6 clinics, each of which I confirmed was indeed open on Sundays.
In short, after checking the opening hours of over 10 Dermatology clinics in Myeongdong, I found that only 6 of them were open on Sundays: LIJIN (9:30-19:30), PPEUM (10:00-19:00), REBERRY (10:30-19:00), HeyDay (10:30-18:00), Cellin (10:00-17:00), and TOXNFILL (11:00-17:00). Clinics like DAN-A and Yami Zhu are closed on Sundays. If you plan to visit on Sunday, I recommend checking these 6 clinics first before booking a appointment.
🟢 6 Dermatology clinics open on Sundays in Myeongdong
The following 6 stores have been verified one by one by checking their official websites, BeautsGO, as well as comments from Korean online forums; they will indeed be open on Sunday. I have listed them in order according to their opening hours on Sunday, from morning to evening:
① LIJIN Dermatology — Open 24/7, Sunday 9:30-19:30
If you are looking for a clinic where you can be completely sure that your visit will not be in vain, LIJIN is undoubtedly the most reliable choice. It operates 365 days a year, without any holidays or closures, including national holidays, the Spring Festival, and the Mid-Autumn Festival. On Sundays, its business hours are from 9:30 am to 7:30 pm, a full 10 hours of service—longer than many other clinics operate on regular weekdays.
LIJIN is located next to Exit 5 of the Myeongdong Station. Its main services include Potenza, hyaluronic acid injections, and laser whitening treatments. It provides comprehensive Chinese-language support, with interpreters available throughout the entire process, from consultation to payment. When I visited there last time, even the post-treatment care instructions were available in Chinese, which is really considerate towards foreigners.
💰 Reference prices: Basic treatments start from ₩50,000 to ₩80,000, while Potenza treatments cost ₩200,000 to ₩300,000. For a more comprehensive comparison between LIJIN and PPEUM, you can refer to the comparative article I wrote previously.

② Cellin Dermatology — Dean of the Seoul National University Hospital, open every Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Cellin is located within the Myeongdong shopping district, right next to Lotte Department Store. It’s extremely convenient to schedule a treatment session after a day of shopping. Previously, I wrote an analysis titled “Is Cellin just a mass-production service?” and concluded that it isn’t. The director personally conducts consultations and provides one-on-one services, so the experience is even better on Sundays when there are fewer people.
💰 Reference prices: Botulinum toxin starting from ¥38,500, Pico treatment starting from ¥55,000, HIFU starting from ¥350,000. For the complete price list, please refer to this article.

③ PPEUM (丽芬聚) – The largest chain in Myeongdong, open from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Sundays.
PPEUM is one of the most well-known dermatology chains in Myeongdong, specializing in what it calls “gentle medical aesthetics” treatments—services such as laser hair removal, microbubble cleansing, and basic hyaluronic acid injections are particularly strong. It is open on Sundays from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM (a total of 9 hours), offering ample operating hours.
One of the strengths of PPEUM is its extensive range of available projects and transparent pricing, with all prices clearly listed on its official website, so there’s no need to worry about being overcharged. For those visiting Myeongdong for the first time to seek medical beauty treatments, PPEUM is a reliable option—at least, you don’t have to worry about communication issues or price discrepancies. You can refer to my previous comprehensive comparison between LIJIN and PPEUM for more details.
💰 Reference prices: Basic skin cleansing treatments start from ₩30,000 to ₩50,000, while hyaluronic acid injections cost ₩80,000 to ₩150,000. These options are ideal for those with limited budgets but still want to experience the services of South Korea’s Dermatology clinics.

| Address | Near Myeongdong Station (there are multiple branches; it is recommended to check BeautsGO for the nearest location). |

④ REBERRY — Japanese-style creamy cuisine, open every Sunday from 10:30 AM to 7:00 PM.
The REBERRY clinic in Myeongdong features a Japanese-style decor with a creamy, wooden theme, making it one of the most visually appealing clinics in the Myeongdong area. It is open on Sundays from 10:30 am to 7:00 pm (a total of 8.5 hours), with no fixed lunch break, allowing for very flexible working hours.
REBERRY’s strengths lie in thread lifting, hyaluronic acid injections, and HydraFacial treatments; its services in Chinese-speaking regions also cover the entire process. The complete price list I previously compiled for REBERRY shows that thread lifting starts from ₩70,000, while hyaluronic acid injections cost ₩200,000—these rates are considered moderate in Myeongdong.

⑤ HeyDay — 1 minute away from the entrance to Yizhi Road, available on Sundays from 10:30 am to 6:00 pm
The HeyDay Myeongdong store is located next to Exit 6 of the Ikjil-ro entrance station, just a 1-minute walk away. Its convenient location ranks it among the top three clinics that are open on Sundays. The operating hours on Sundays are from 10:30 am to 6:00 pm (a total of 7.5 hours).
What sets HeyDay apart is that the director personally handles the entire process on a one-on-one basis, rather than following a standard “consultation followed by someone else performing the procedure” model. I have experienced this service before, and the director is very attentive, adjusting the treatment plan according to the specific condition of your skin in real time. With Chinese interpreters present, communication is completely unobstructed.

⑥ TOXNFILL — boasts the highest CP value; available on Sundays from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
TOXNFILL is a well-known and affordable Dermatology clinic in Myeongdong, where the prices for Botox and Filler are quite competitive in the area. It is open on Sundays from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM (a total of 6 hours), and it is one of the six clinics that closes the latest on Sundays. It is recommended to make it your first stop on a Sunday visit.
⚠️ Note: TOXNFILL is closed on public holidays in South Korea and is not open every Sunday. If you plan to visit on a Sunday during a national holiday in South Korea (such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, Spring Festival, or Liberation Day), please confirm in advance.

📋 Guide to Making an Appointment at the Dermatology Department on Sundays
Although there are fewer people on Sundays, not many clinics are open on that day. Here are some tips I’ve gathered from my own experience:
- Book 2-3 days in advance: This is especially important if you want the director to perform the treatment personally. On Sundays, the staff may be fewer than on weekdays, so it’s advisable to discuss customized treatments in advance.
- Go in the morning; don’t wait until afternoon: Some clinics (such as TOXNFILL and Cellin) are only open until 17:00 on Sundays, so it will be too late if you go in the afternoon.
- Check whether it is a public holiday: On many national holidays in South Korea, such as Lunar New Year, Chuseok, and Liberation Day, many clinics will close for business, even if the holiday falls on a Sunday.
- Check the daily schedule using BeautsGO: With BeautsGO, you can view the real-time schedules of various clinics, saving you the time of making individual phone calls.
- First, check whether the treatment you want to undergo is available on Sundays. Some special procedures, such as deep laser treatments that require anesthesia, may not be offered on Sundays, so make sure to inquire about this when booking.

How should people in different situations make their choices?
- If you are a tourist who arrives in Myeongdong on a Sunday afternoon: You can choose either LIJIN or PPEUM. Both places are open until after 7:00 PM, so you still have enough time to undergo a treatment at 3:00 PM.
- If you are interested in advanced anti-aging treatments such as Thermage or HIFU, consider Cellin or REBERRY. Both companies specialize in anti-aging equipment, and the treatments are performed personally by the clinic directors – so you can get a better experience on Sundays when there are fewer people.
- If this is your first time coming to Myeongdong for medical beauty treatments and you’re worried about language barriers: consider choosing LIJIN or HeyDay. Both services offer comprehensive Chinese-language support, with interpreters available throughout the entire process, from consultation to treatment.
- If you have a limited budget and are interested in basic treatments or starting with laser procedures, consider TOXNFILL – their prices are highly transparent, and basic treatments can be done for less than ⩺50,000.
My conclusion: It is completely feasible to go to Myeongdong on Sunday for medical beauty treatments.
To be honest, at first, I also thought that all the Dermatology clinics in Myeongdong were closed on Sundays. But after checking, I found that not all of them were closed; in fact, 6 of them were still open. From the earliest one, LIJIN (opening at 9:30), to the latest one, TOXNFILL (closing at 17:00), there were actually quite a few options available in terms of time.
If you ask me…
- If you want the most reliable option – choose LIJIN. We operate 24/7 without any interruptions.
- If you’re interested in anti-aging or advanced treatments, consider Cellin or REBERRY – where the director personally performs the procedures.
- If your budget is limited and you just want to get started with basic treatments, then TOXNFILL or PPEUM are the best options, as they offer the highest cost-performance ratio.
- Those who care about the environment and the quality of the experience should choose REBERRY or HeyDay – these products are by no means mass-produced on an assembly line.
No matter which clinic you choose, it is recommended that you check the schedule and prices for that day on BeautsGO before making your trip. This is because South Korea’s public holiday arrangements are different from those in Taiwan; sometimes, when Sunday coincides with a national holiday, even clinics that are usually open will be closed.
If you still have questions after reading this, feel free to visit BeautsGO and ask them directly—they respond very quickly, much more efficiently than if I spent half a day looking up the information myself 😂
