Real Experience Sharing with Pind Dermatology in South Korea｜Same Price as China + Personal Consultation by Director Huang Zongyi – Competitive Prices but Limited Slots, Book Early!

When I went to Seoul for medical aesthetics treatments this time, I ended up choosing PIND Clinic’s Dermatology department. There were only three main reasons for my decision: the same prices as those in Korea without any extra charge for foreigners, personalized consultations conducted directly by Director Hwang Jong-eui rather than a standardized process, and more affordable prices for Thermage and Titanium Lifting treatments compared to similar clinics in Gangnam. However, I have to be honest about one drawback—appointments at PIND Clinic’s Dermatology department are very hard to get, especially slots for direct consultations with Director Hwang Jong-eui. If you plan to visit on weekends, you need to make reservations well in advance. This is based on my own real experience—no exaggeration or criticism, just a clear breakdown of the costs, treatment procedures, and tips for making appointments.

I. First Impression of Pind Dermatology in Sinnonhyeon: A Unassuming Sign, But a Legitimately Certified Clinic

Pind Dermatology is located in the Sinnonhyeon area of Gangnam, Seoul — just an 8-minute walk from Sinnonhyeon Station. While its exterior doesn’t look particularly grand and its sign is unassuming, as soon as you step inside, you’ll see the medical certification badges hanging on the walls, confirming that it’s a legitimate dermatology clinic rather than some casual roadside treatment shop. The waiting area at Pind Dermatology is clean and bright, free from the harsh white lighting typical of hospitals, giving it a more upscale salon-like atmosphere that helps patients feel relaxed even on their first visit.

II. Why Did I Write This Personal Experience? Same Price as Korea + Personal Consultation by Director Huang Zongyi—No Factory-Style Treatment

I decided to write about Pind Dermatology because I once had a frustrating experience at another clinic where the doctor only spent 3 minutes with you before handing you over to a sales representative to push products. Pind Dermatology is completely different: Dr. Huang Zongyi takes care of everything personally, from the initial consultation and assessment to the planning of your treatment plan, ensuring you’re not left to fend for yourself in a robotic process. Pind Dermatology offers identical prices for both locals in South Korea and foreigners—no hidden surcharges. This is especially important for patients from Hong Kong and Taiwan, as many clinics secretly charge more from foreigners.

III. Is the price at Pind Dermatology really competitive? A side-by-side comparison of Thermage/Titanium Lifting/Rejuran in both currencies

Here’s the price list right away. The following are the official prices for services at Pind Dermatology on the BeautsGO platform as of September 2026 (same price for Koreans and Chinese, same price for foreigners):

Project	Pind Dermatology (₩)	Around NT$	Notes
Thermage FLX	₩1,800,000	Approximately NT$41,400	BeautsGO 2026-09 Price Check
Titanium Lifting	₩1,200,000	Approximately NT$27,600	Same as above
Rejuran Polynucleotide Repair	₩400,000	Around NT$9,200	Same as above
inmode single mode	₩300,000	Around NT$6,900	Same as above
American Version of Ultrasound Deep Lift	₩500,000	Approximately NT$11,500	Same as above

The prices at Pind Dermatology are considered quite affordable among similar clinics in Gangnam: for the same Thermage FLX treatment, Kleam Dermatology in Myeongdong lists its price at around ₩1,990,000 (as detailed in our “Kleam Dermatology Myeongdong 2026 Price Guide”), while Pind Dermatology charges ₩1,800,000—about 10% cheaper. Seongsu NEWLINE offers a package that includes “Thermage FLX 600 sessions + American version ultrasound 300 sessions + Rejuran 6cc” for ₩3,900,000, meaning Pind Dermatology has a better deal when it comes to just the Thermage treatment alone. The competitive pricing is clearly evident when you compare the actual figures.

IV. Why are appointments at Pind’s Dermatology department so hard to get? The number of slots for in-person consultations by the director is limited, so you need to book in advance to secure one.

The main drawback of Pind’s Dermatology department is clearly its limited availability of appointments. The reason is easy to understand — Director Huang Zongyi insists on conducting personal consultations, so only a limited number of patients can be seen each day. During peak times such as weekends, public holidays, and school breaks, all appointments are usually booked up as soon as they become available. Pind’s Dermatology department does not accept walk-in patients to ensure slots are reserved, so my advice is to secure an appointment through BeautsGO 2–4 weeks in advance, especially if you want to have the consultation conducted by the director personally.

V. How to get there on the day of your appointment? It’s just an 8-minute walk plus 5 steps from the Pind Dermatology Sinnonhyeon station – here’s what to expect on that day.

The process at Pind Dermatology that day went smoothly: ① Walk about 8 minutes from the Sinnonhyeon subway station to the clinic; ② Check in at the counter (show your BeautsGO appointment code, with Chinese-speaking staff); ③ Director Hwang Jong-il personally examines your skin to assess its condition; ④ Confirm the treatment plan and price (same price in both Korean and Chinese, quoted on the spot); ⑤ Treatment procedure plus post-treatment care. A Chinese translator is available throughout the whole process at Pind Dermatology, so there’s no need to worry if you don’t speak Korean.

VI. Who Is Pind Dermatology Right For? 3 Key Decision Factors and My Honest Advice

Ideal for: ① those who prefer to be treated by a chief physician in person and dislike mass-produced treatments; ② those with limited budgets but still want to use professional equipment such as Thermage/Titanium/Lejuran; ③ those who want the same prices as in South Korea and don’t want to pay extra as “tourists.”

Not suitable for: ① Those who decide to come last minute without making an appointment (slots are highly limited); ② Those looking for the lowest price at discount stores (Pind Dermatology follows standard pricing practices—prices may not be the lowest on the market, but they are transparent).

My advice: Consider Pind Dermatology as a balanced option that offers consistent quality, reasonable prices, and consultations by the director in person. Make your appointment well in advance, and clarify your goals before starting the treatment so you won’t end up being led around by the nose.

VII. Common Questions About Pind Dermatology FAQ

Q1: Do foreigners at Pind Dermatology have to pay a higher price?

No need to worry. Pind Dermatology offers the same prices in South Korea and China, while BeautsGO maintains consistent pricing—both foreigners and locals pay the same amount, so you won’t have to deal with inflated prices just because you’re a tourist.

Q2: Is it okay to go to a Pind Dermatology clinic if you don’t know any Korean at all?

OKAY. Pind Dermatology offers Chinese translation services, so you can communicate in Chinese throughout the process—from making an appointment to the actual consultation—making it hassle-free even if you don’t speak Korean.

Q3: Will Dr. Huang Zongyi personally perform the procedure?

Pind Dermatology is renowned for its consultations conducted by the chief physician in person. However, slots are limited during peak hours, so it’s recommended to specify “consultation with the chief physician” when making a reservation and book well in advance for the best chance of getting a slot.

Q4: Is it still possible to make a last-minute walk-in appointment at Pind’s Dermatology?

Not necessarily. Pind’s Dermatology appointments are in high demand and often fully booked on weekends. It’s recommended to book through BeautsGO 2–4 weeks in advance rather than relying on getting a spot on the spot.

Q5: Are the prices at Pind Dermatology inclusive of tax?

BeautsGO lists the price as the cost per treatment session, and whether tax is included depends on the quote given on the spot. Pind Dermatology provides a clear, upfront quote without any hidden upsells.

Q6: Is there a recovery period after a Thermage FLX treatment?

Thermage FLX uses non-invasive radio waves, allowing most people to return to work and apply makeup normally after the treatment. BARUNGYN Dermatology provides guidance on post-procedure care, with swelling usually subsiding within a few hours.
