Are the prices at Dermatology of 2026 Sinsa Seoul I Ippo transparent? How much do Rejuran and HIFU cost? Check the complete price list here.
To be honest, what do people who go to Sinsa-dong in Seoul for medical beauty treatments fear the most? It’s not the pain, but rather the lack of transparency in prices—first, you get a quote from the consultant; then, once you lie down on the table, another fee is added; and finally, at the time of payment, some unexpected charges appear out of nowhere. That’s why before flying to Seoul this time, I specifically chose The Ippo Dermatology in Sinsa, which has an ILCHI rating for its “transparent pricing and no aggressive sales tactics.” I went there in person to understand the prices for treatments like Rejuran and HIFU in detail, and then compiled this information for those who might consider going there.
Upon entering the Dermatology department at Sinsa The Ippo, my first impression was one of no sales pitches, no exaggerations—only professional answers and guidance.
The location of Dermatology Seoul I is less than two minutes’ walk from Exit 4 of Sinsa Station, at 3rd Floor, Zi Yin Building, 80 Doguk-ro, Seocho-gu, Seoul. To be honest, I was a bit nervous when I first visited there – after all, the stereotype associated with dermatology clinics in the Gangnam and Sinsa areas is that they are expensive and tend to be very aggressive in their sales pitches. But once I stepped inside The Ippo, the atmosphere was completely different from what I had expected.
The interior design of the clinic follows a modern and minimalist style, featuring predominantly white and wooden tones that create a clean, tidy atmosphere without any unnecessary embellishments. The waiting area is small but comfortable, and it is nowhere near as noisy as some chain clinics that attract many tourists. When I arrived, there was only one local South Korean patient waiting in front of me; the entire space was quiet and peaceful, exuding the feel of a private clinic.
After I completed the consultation form, the Chinese-speaking director accompanied me throughout the entire process – helping me understand the results of my skin test, translating the director’s analysis, and taking pre-treatment photos for me. What surprised me the most was that not a single moment during the whole process did anyone try to promote any specific services. After examining my skin condition, Director Kim Han-ji didn’t say things like “You need to treat this area or get injections there”; instead, he first acknowledged the quality of my skin and then explained in detail the feasibility and budget for each of my requests.
How much does Rejuran charge at The Ippo? Is it more expensive or cheaper compared to other South Korean clinics?
Rejuran (also known as Rejuran or Lijen) can be considered the most popular skin regeneration injection treatment in South Korea in recent years. Its mechanism of action involves extracting the PDRN component from salmon DNA to promote the regeneration and repair of skin cells, making it particularly effective in improving enlarged Pores, fine lines, and decreased skin elasticity. So, how much does it cost to receive Rejuran treatment at The Ippo?
The price of Rejuran at Ippo is determined based on the area to be treated and the dosage administered, which is different from some clinics that simply provide a vague figure for “full face.” According to the prices in June 2026:
| Rejuran Project | Reference price for the Ippo | The general market situation in Seoul |
|---|---|---|
| Rejuran PN (full face) | Around ₩350,000 to 400,000 | ₩350,000 to 550,000 |
| iRejuran 1cc (regeneration, fine wrinkle improvement) for the eye area | Around ₩200,000 to 250,000 | ₩200,000 to 350,000 |
| Rejuran + Glow Injection Combination | Around ₩500,000 to ₩600,000 | ₩550,000 to 800,000 |
For a location like Sinsa-dong, the price of Rejuran at The Ippo is considered to be on the lower middle range – not the cheapest, but certainly not excessively expensive. What’s important is that Dr. Kim will honestly assess your skin condition and tell you how many treatments are needed for effective results, rather than recommending too many sessions just to make a profit. Such honesty is truly rare in the Seoul medical aesthetics industry.
The latest pricing for HIFU in 2026 has been released, and the price set by The Ippo is quite surprising.
HIFU (Ulthera / 울쎄라) is a popular anti-aging treatment that many people include in their trips to South Korea. This procedure uses focused ultrasonic energy to penetrate deep into the SMAS fascia layer, stimulating the regeneration of Collagen and thereby achieving a tightening and lifting effect. However, the prices for HIFU vary greatly – ranging from as low as 9,500,000 won to over 92,000,000 won for top-tier treatments. The differences in price are determined by the age of the equipment, the number of treatments administered, and the skill level of the practitioner.
The Ippo uses original Ulthera equipment. Director Jin has 15 years of experience in minimally invasive lifting treatments. During the procedure, the depth and number of treatments are adjusted according to the degree of asymmetry between the left and right sides of each patient’s face, as well as the tension of their fascia. The fees for HIFU treatments at The Ippo are as follows:
| HIFU treatment | Reference price for the Ippo | Included content |
|---|---|---|
| Ulthera Full Face Treatment (300 shots) | Around ₩800,000 to 1,200,000 | Original equipment, performed personally by the clinic director, followed by postoperative LED phototherapy. |
| Ulthera treatment for the lower half of the face (200 sessions) | Around ₩600,000 to 800,000 | The area below the jawline and around the Double Chin |
| The combination of Ulthera and Rejuran | Around ₩1,300,000 to 1,600,000 | Lifting and skin regeneration – all done in one go! |
To be honest, this price is really not considered expensive in Sinsa, Gangnam. Some well-known large clinics charge a minimum of ⩱1,500,000 for a full-face Ulthera treatment, and it’s not even guaranteed that the treatment will be performed by the clinic director himself. At The Ippo, however, Dr. Kim personally performs the procedures, which is especially reassuring for those who are worried about being treated by different therapists.
Take a look at the complete price list of Seoul I Ippo: everything from basic domestic fillers to advanced Thread Lifting treatments is clearly listed.
This is the latest price list for 2026 that I have compiled based on information from The Ippo’s official website and on-site consultations. All prices listed are inclusive of taxes and represent transparent quotes; there will be no situation where prices are increased upon arrival at the location.
| Types of treatments | Brand/Specifications | Reference price (Korean won) |
|---|---|---|
| Filler injection | Amalian Eraland 1 centum core (Germany) | Starting from ⩡500,000 |
| Restylane (Sweden) | ₩350,000 | |
| Juvederm (France) | ₩390,000 | |
| Introduction to Bellast Domestic Products (South Korea) | Starting from ¥89,000 | |
| Lip augmentation | Amalian Eiralan 1 centum core | ₩280,000 |
| Nasolabial folds (high nose lines) | Four items | ₩340,000 |
| Thread Lifting | 8 items (Min Te Silk 360° 3D) | ₩720,000 |
| 16 treatments (for the entire face) | ₩1,290,000 | |
| Rejuran PN | PDRN for Full-Face Regeneration | ₩350,000 to 400,000 |
| HIFU Ulthera | 300 hairs for the entire face (original brand) | ₩800,000 to 1,200,000 |
| Lipolytic injection | Facial lipolysis | Please consult the clinic for more information. |
It is particularly worth mentioning that the price of this nose Thread Lifting procedure, which consists of 4 threads and costs ₩334,000, is truly very competitive in the Gangnam area – some clinics charge over ₩800,000 for the same service. The option of 16 threads for ₩1,290,000 is also an exceptionally affordable price in Sinsa-dong. If you have a limited budget but don’t want to compromise on quality, The Ippo is definitely worth adding to your shortlist.

Director Kim Han-kyi’s philosophy of practice: Why does he avoid unnecessary treatments and instead manage to retain more repeat patients?
Anyone who has visited a Dermatology clinic in South Korea can probably relate to this experience: after a half-hour consultation, the consultant recommends five or six treatment options, and the bill easily exceeds one million South Korean won. However, at The Ippo, it’s completely different.
President Kim Han-kyung graduated from the School of Medicine at Yonsei University and completed his residency training at Severance Hospital in Sinchon. With over 15 years of clinical experience, he has worked at the Micro-Aesthetic Center of ID Plastic Surgery Hospital and the Apgujeong TopLine Clinic, where he gained extensive expertise in facial anatomy and injection techniques. His core philosophy is clearly stated on the official website: “We do not recommend unnecessary treatments. We respect the natural beauty of each person’s face and strive to bring out their inherent charm through personalized treatment plans.”
This is more than just a slogan. During the in-person consultation, Director Jin carefully examined the thickness of the fat on my face and the tension of my fascia with his fingertips, then used a mirror to show me what he meant, saying, “Look here—if we lift this area just a little bit, the jawline will become much more defined, but your overall facial shape will remain the same; you won’t look like someone else at all.” This way of communicating gave me a great sense of security—he wasn’t criticizing any flaws in my face; instead, he was helping me identify areas where small adjustments could enhance my appearance.
The clinic’s slogan, “One Step, More Beauty,” is also quite interesting. In Korean, “더이뻐 (The Ippo)” means “to become more beautiful,” while in Japanese, “いっぽ (ippo)” means “one step.” Together, they convey the idea of “becoming more beautiful step by step” – rather than aiming for a complete transformation in one go, it emphasizes making gradual progress with each visit. This approach actually makes people more willing to return.

FAQ: 6 Common Questions About The Ippo in Sinsa
Q1: Does The Ippo offer Chinese-language services? What if I don’t know Korean?
Yes, at The Ippo, a Chinese-speaking supervisor will accompany you throughout the entire process. From filling out the consultation form, explaining the results of the skin examination to providing instructions after the procedure, all communications will be conducted in Chinese, so there is no need to know Korean at all. It is recommended to check in advance through BeautsGO to confirm whether the Chinese-speaking supervisor will be on duty on that day before making your appointment.
Q2: How long does it take for Rejuran to take effect? How many treatments are required?
The effects of Rejuran usually begin to appear 2 to 4 weeks after the treatment, mainly manifested in increased skin glow, narrowed Pores, and reduced the appearance of fine lines. It is generally recommended to undergo 3 treatments as a complete course, with each treatment spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart. Dr. Kim will provide specific recommendations based on the condition of your skin and will not urge you to purchase the entire set at once.
Q3: Does HIFU cause any pain? How long does it take for the results to become visible?
During HIFU treatment, there may be a brief stinging sensation, but The Ippo applies anesthesia before the procedure, and Director Kim’s technique is also quite gentle. The effects are most noticeable 2 to 3 months after the treatment; Collagen production continues, providing lasting results for approximately 1 to 1.5 years.
Q4: Is it possible to arrive on the same day without making a reservation?
It is not recommended. Although The Ippo is not one of those clinics where patients have to wait outside in line, it is usually necessary to reserve a appointment with Director Kim in advance, especially on weekends. It is advised to make the reservation at least 3 to 5 days in advance.
Q5: Are the prices really transparent? Will there be any price increases at the location?
All the service prices of Ippo are clearly listed on its official website and on BeautsGO. During the in-person consultation, Director Kim will first provide a quote and confirm the budget; only after you agree will the treatment begin. There will be no situation where additional fees are suddenly added after you have already started the treatment.
Q6: How can I get from Gimpo Airport to The Ippo?
Take the subway Line 9 from Gimpo Airport to the Express Bus Terminal, then transfer to Line 3 and get off at Sinsa Station. Walk out from Exit 4 and it takes about 2 minutes to arrive. The entire journey takes approximately 40-50 minutes. Alternatively, you can book a airport shuttle service through BeautsGO, and the driver will drop you right outside the Zhenyin Building.
In conclusion: Who is Sinsa The Ippo suitable for? My honest opinion
If you fall into any of the following categories, The Ippo would be an ideal choice for you:
- For those who are wary of being pushed into unnecessary treatments – Director Jin truly avoids recommending such procedures, and I have personally witnessed this.
- For those with limited budgets but who want to avoid potential pitfalls – the prices in Sinsa District are considered mid-to-low, offering great value for money.
- For those going to South Korea for cosmetic procedures for the first time, a Chinese-speaking supervisor will accompany you throughout the process, so you don’t have to worry about language barriers.
- For those who seek natural results, President Jin’s aesthetic philosophy emphasizes “subtle adjustments without drastic changes”—the outcomes are natural and never exaggerated.
- For those who want to undergo Rejuran or HIFU treatments – performed personally by the director himself, using original equipment at reasonable prices.
There are truly numerous Dermatology clinics in the Sinsa area, but what impressed me most about Seoul I was that everything was “just right” – the prices were appropriate, the service was excellent, and the results were satisfactory. It wasn’t those exaggerated changes that would leave you amazed enough to share them on social media, but rather a subtle sense of satisfaction when you look in the mirror at home and think, “Hmm, I really do look better now.”
If you’ve already added The Ippo to your favorites list, why not open BeautsGO now and check the prices and schedules in advance? Save that time, and use it to enjoy a refreshing ice Americano at a cozy café on the shaded streets of Sinsa-dong after your treatment.
