It took me a long time to find this place in Gangnam, Seoul – the hyaluronic acid injection treatment at Biwu Dermatology was much more affordable than I expected.
This isn’t my first time flying to Seoul for cosmetic procedures, but choosing a clinic every time still causes me a lot of hesitation. Last time, I had hyaluronic acid injections at Hongdae, and the results were quite good. But this time, I wanted to try a different place. I heard that there are several Dermatology clinics in the Sinnonhyeon area of Gangnam with great reviews. After doing some research, I came across View Skin Clinic – their website is very well-designed and even comes in Chinese, which really put me at ease.
The first impression upon entering the Sinnonhyeon View Skin Clinic: Just 20 meters away from the exit of the seoulcheil Sinnonhyeon station, with extremely convenient transportation.
View Skin Clinic is located on the 3rd floor of 107 Bongeunsi-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. You can take the subway Line 9 to Sinnonhyeon Station and exit at Exit 3; it takes less than a minute to walk from there to the clinic. This location is truly a great advantage, as you don’t have to spend hours searching for the clinic in the unfamiliar streets of Seoul.
The clinic is located on the 3rd floor, with an reception area on the 1st floor where patients need to register upon entry. The interior space feels quite spacious, and there are VIP waiting rooms available. The overall atmosphere is refined and understated, nothing like those fancy-looking online celebrity clinics. As soon as the staff saw that I was speaking Chinese, they immediately assigned a consultant who could speak Chinese to assist me, without the need for any translation software at all.
Biwu Dermatology opened its doors in 2005 and has been in operation for over 20 years now – a considerable length of time in the Seoul Dermatology industry. What’s more important is that this clinic holds several highly prestigious certifications: it is an authorized Ultherapy HIFU provider, has received the Restylane Appreciation Award, and has been recognized as an excellence institution for Rejuran treatments. Simply the fact that they hold the “Rejuran Excellence Institution” certification indicates that they have performed a vast number of Rejuran treatments over the years.
What are the main types of hyaluronic acid injections promoted by Dermatology Biwu? I inquired clearly about Juvelook, Rejuran, and Revive.
On the day of the consultation, the doctor took great pains to explain to me the differences between the several mainstream hyaluronic acid injections currently available on the market. This is indeed something that many foreigners find difficult to understand, so I have summarized the key points as follows:
| Types of hyaluronic acid injections | Main Ingredients | Suitable for | Key aspects of the results |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rejuran, Rejuran | PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotides) | Acne scars, enlarged Pores, and damaged skin barrier | Repair and regenerate, tighten Pores |
| Juvelook Qiuqiuke | HA + PDLLA (polylactic acid) | The skin has become loose, lacks glow, and fine lines have begun to appear. | Moisturizes and brightens the skin, stimulates collagen production |
| Bring back to life | Complex vitamins + amino acids | Prolonged stress can lead to muscle fatigue and a yellowish complexion. | Lighten the skin tone and reduce dullness |
| Filorga 135 | DNA + 50 effective ingredients | Age-related skin, deep-level sagging | Anti-aging and overall rejuvenation |
My own skin issues include enlarged Pores and occasional acne, so my doctor recommended Rejuran as the primary treatment. If you want to brighten your skin and boost collagen levels, Juvelook might be more suitable; if your skin is dry and dull, Revive is a great option. Since everyone’s skin condition is different, it’s advisable to consult a doctor for an evaluation before making a decision.
How much does the Hyaluronic Acid Injection treatment at Biwu Dermatology cost compared to Taiwan and Hong Kong? (Current prices in 2026)
This is exactly what many people want to know. The prices of glow injections in Seoul vary greatly, ranging from affordable options to high-end treatments. Taking the standard of Biwu Dermatology (an accredited institution with 20 years of experience) as a reference, here is an approximate price range for your information:
| Project | Seoul, South Korea (₩) | Taiwan (NT$) | Hong Kong (HK$) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rejuran Rejuran (1 centum core) | ₩200,000 to ₩350,000 | NT$8,000 to 15,000 | HK$2,500 to HK$5,000 |
| Juvelook Qiuyouke (1 time) | ₩250,000 to ₩450,000 | NT$10,000 to 18,000 | HK$3,000 to HK$6,000 |
| Revive (Full Face) | ₩150,000 to 280,000 | NT$6,000–12,000 | HK$2,000 to HK$4,000 |
| Skin Care Package (1 session) | ₩180,000 to 350,000 | NT$8,000 to 15,000 | HK$2,500 to HK$5,000 |
In terms of cost comparison, HIFU treatments in South Korea are approximately 30-40% cheaper than those in Taiwan and 20-30% cheaper than in Hong Kong. Taking into account the costs of airfare and accommodation, if you have other cosmetic procedures scheduled during this trip (such as HIFU or Thermage), the overall cost will still be quite affordable.
Compared to other hyaluronic acid injection clinics in Gangnam’s Apgujeong area, there are three reasons why I chose Dermatology by Bi Wu.
With so many options in the same area, why did I ultimately choose Dermatology Biwu? There were several factors that influenced my decision:
- Official Rejuran certification: Rejuran Healer is one of the most popular hyaluronic acid injections in South Korea. Being recognized as an “institution with outstanding treatment capabilities” indicates that a high number of treatments are performed by highly skilled professionals. When it comes to the same treatment, choosing a certified provider ensures greater peace of mind.
- 20 years of experience: Many clinics change their doctors after just two or three years of operation. But Bi Wu has been in business since 2005, so its expertise is truly reliable.
- Comprehensive Chinese-language service: This is particularly important for Taiwanese people. Only by getting clear explanations during the consultation process can one choose the right treatment option and avoid misunderstandings.
- 20 meters from the exit of Sinnonhyeon Station: Direct subway access, no need to rush, making it extremely convenient for travelers with tight schedules.
- We also offer Lifting treatments: in case you want to undergo HIFU or Thermage during this trip, there’s no need to change clinics.
Of course, each clinic has its own strengths. If you are primarily interested in using HIFU for Lifting, Betterme Gangnam and peche in the same area are also great options; if your main concern is laser freckle removal, Theia Dermatology is highly specialized in this area. However, if, like me, you are mainly interested in hyaluronic acid injections or skin management services, the various certifications held by Bi Wu Dermatology, along with its multilingual support, indeed give it a significant competitive advantage among clinics of its caliber.
What is the experience like for foreigners when visiting Biwu Dermatology for treatment? Language is definitely not an issue at all.
The language barrier, which many people are concerned about, is not an issue at Bihu Dermatology at all. The clinic provides services in 10 languages, including Chinese, English, Japanese, Russian, Thai, and Indonesian. This alone demonstrates their extensive experience in treating foreign patients – it’s certainly not the case where they simply find a translator on the spot when foreigners come in.
My schedule that day was roughly as follows:
- Registration on the 1st Floor: Go to the 1st floor to register and provide your name for the appointment.
- Guidance on the 3rd Floor: Upon arriving at the 3rd floor by elevator, staff will guide you to the consultation room.
- Doctor’s consultation: The hospital director personally provided me with a consultation, explaining my skin condition in detail and recommending the appropriate treatments for me.
- Applying topical anesthetic: After deciding to undergo the Rejuran treatment, apply a topical anesthetic and wait for approximately 20–30 minutes.
- Procedure: Full-face Rejuran treatment, lasting approximately 15–20 minutes.
- Postoperative care instructions: The staff provided detailed instructions on what to pay attention to after the procedure, along with written guidelines.
On the day of the procedure, the skin may appear slightly red and have small pinholes, which is normal. Staff recommend avoiding makeup on that day and refraining from using irritating skincare products. The next day, I could hardly tell any signs that the procedure had been done, and a week later, my skin’s moisture and glow had significantly improved, and my Pores also seemed to be narrower than before.
Frequently Asked Questions: The most common questions about Biwu Dermatology’s glow injection therapy
Q1: Are View Skin Clinic and SWOMAN Plastic Surgery the same institution?
They are both under the same brand, but there are differences. “View Skin Clinic” specializes in dermatological treatments, hyaluronic acid injections, laser therapies, and injectable procedures; “SWOMAN Plastic Surgery Hospital” primarily focuses on cosmetic surgeries. If your needs relate to dermatological care, you should visit View Skin Clinic (Address: 3rd Floor, No. 107, Feng’en Temple Road).
Q2: How can foreigners make an appointment at Biwu Dermatology?
You can make an appointment in advance via WhatsApp (+82-10-2103-7174) or Line (link: lin.ee/gL8S1v8), or you can also use the BeautsGO platform for reservation services with full Chinese-language support. It is recommended to book at least 3-5 days in advance; during the peak seasons (spring and autumn), it is even better to book sooner.
Q3: How many treatments are required to see the effects of Rejuran?
It is generally recommended to undergo 3-4 treatments in a course, with each treatment spaced 2-4 weeks apart. The first 2 treatments are mainly aimed at improving the basic condition of the skin, while the effects of the 3rd and 4th treatments become more noticeable and stable. If you only come to Seoul once, you can start with 1-2 treatments and then continue to maintain the results at a clinic that offers Rejuran services after returning to Taiwan.
Q4: What other treatments does Biwu Dermatology recommend in addition to hyaluronic acid injections?
In addition to the Hyaluronic Acid Injection treatment, Bi Wu Dermatology also offers various Lifting procedures such as the Ultherapy Prime HIFU, Thermage FLX, and Shurink, as well as skin-resurfacing lasers and Fraxel lasers. If you want to combine skin care with anti-aging treatments in one go, it’s convenient to schedule them at the same clinic to save time and effort.
Q5: How to get to Dermatology at Biwu?
Exit 3 of Sinnonhyeon Station on Subway Line 9 is just 20 meters away. It is highly recommended to take the subway. Parking in the vicinity is not very convenient, so drivers should be aware that the area is a one-way street. The clinic is open from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM from Monday to Thursday, until 9:00 PM on Fridays, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays, and is closed on Sundays.
Q6: Is there a recovery period after receiving hyaluronic acid injections?
After the Rejuran treatment, there may be slight redness and pinhole marks, which usually subside within 24 to 48 hours. After the Juvelook treatment, mild swelling may occur, but it will disappear within 2 to 3 days. It is not recommended to attend important events immediately after the treatment, but daily activities can generally be resumed the next day without any issues.
Q7: What are the differences between Juvelook and Rejuran? Which one is more suitable for my skin type?
Rejuran uses PDRN to repair DNA and regenerate skin tissue, making it particularly suitable for those with acne scars or Pores issues. Juvelook, on the other hand, is a combination of HA and PDLLA that not only hydrates the skin but also stimulates collagen production, focusing more on enhancing the skin’s glow. These two treatments are not mutually exclusive, and many people choose to use them together. It is recommended that you inform your doctor of your primary skin concerns during the consultation so that they can provide an appropriate assessment.
Q8: Are the consultations and treatments at Biwu Dermatology provided by the same doctor?
Biwu Dermatology emphasizes that “the director personally conducts all consultations and treatments,” ensuring that every step from consultation to procedure is carried out by the director himself, rather than by nurses or assistants. This is particularly important when it comes to hyaluronic acid injections, which require precise technique; the practitioner’s expertise directly affects both the results and the patient’s comfort during the procedure.
