V Clinic Gangnam(Korean: 브이의원 강남) is a mid-to-high-end boutique dermatology clinic located on Gangnam-daero in Seocho-gu, Seoul. Positioned around the concept of “premium quality at the same price for Korean and international patients,” the clinic has built its reputation in the Gangnam medical aesthetics scene on transparent pricing and a strictly no-hard-selling approach. For travelers planning skin treatments in Seoul, it is a clinic where the homework is easy and the budget is predictable.
Basic Information and Access
· Address: 15F, Seosan Building, 441 Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul
· Korean address: 서울특별시 서초구 강남대로 441, 서산빌딩 15층

The clinic occupies the 15th floor of an office building — central yet quiet, with consultation and treatment areas kept separate for an unhurried visit. Weekday hours extend to 8 p.m., which suits travelers who prefer to treat in the evening after sightseeing, and the clinic also opens on Saturdays for short itineraries.
Director and Medical Team
Representative director Dr. Ryu Dong-geun is a certified Allergan Juvéderm trainer who also holds both Juvéderm Key Doctor and Botox Key Doctor credentials. He is a full member of the Korean Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and Laser, the Korean Society of Fillers, and other academic societies, with prior experience as head of dermatology at multiple clinics.
Anesthesiologist Dr. Park Cheol-hee is on staff full time and monitors every procedure involving sedation. A resident anesthesiologist is an uncommon setup among small dermatology clinics, and a clear advantage for pain-sensitive patients or combination treatment plans.
Signature Treatments and Core Directions
The clinic’s aesthetic philosophy is “natural and native,” built on three core directions:
· Facial contour fixation: injections at structural support points of the facial bone frame to rebuild three-dimensional support, letting soft tissue lift naturally — no surgery, no “filled face”
· Premium device-based anti-aging: a full lineup including Ultherapy, Thermage FLX, Titanium Lifting, and Onda
· Fine-tuning injectables: Juvéderm fillers, SKINVIVE, Rejuran, Juvelook, botulinum toxin, thread lifting, and more
Dr. Ryu is particularly known for his judgment in delicate areas such as the nasal base, brow ridge, and aegyo-sal, where the goal is not simply “filling it flat” but harmony with overall facial features. Consultations combine AI-based skin analysis — quantifying pores, pigmentation, wrinkles, and elasticity — with the director’s item-by-item explanation of the treatment plan.
Pricing and Fees
The clinic advertises identical pricing for Korean and international patients with no surcharge for Chinese-language service. The consultation fee is ₩50,000 (about NT$1,100), which is generally deductible from the treatment cost once a plan is confirmed. Reference prices: Rejuran (black vial) 2cc around ₩250,000; Ultherapy Gen 2, 100 shots from ₩400,000; Thermage FLX full face, 300 shots from ₩1,400,000; Titanium Lifting 40KJ from ₩500,000; Juvéderm SKINVIVE 1cc around ₩590,000. Actual quotes depend on the same-day consultation and exchange rates; prices are for reference only.
