I. Where is Sia Dermatology? It’s located at 488 Gangnam-daero, just a minute’s walk from Exit 3 of Sinnonhyeon Station.

Sia Dermatology is located on the 4th and 5th floors of “Central Plaza” at 488 Gangnam-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul — right in the heart of Gangnam’s premier medical aesthetics district.

Exit No. 3 at Sinnonhyeon Station on Line 9 or the ANEW Bundang Line, head straight for about 90 meters—just a minute’s walk—and you’ll reach the Central Plaza Building. If you start from Gangnam Station on Line 2, exit No. 11 and it’s a 5 to 7 minute walk.

Right in front of the Sia Dermatology clinic is the underground mall at Gangnam Station and New World Department Store. After completing your treatment, you can head downstairs to shop right away, making it perfect for a “beauty treatment in the morning, shopping in the afternoon” itinerary.

Sia Dermatology is open almost round the clock throughout the year—operating from Monday to Friday until 20:30, and on weekends and public holidays until 18:30. It closes only for one day each during the Lunar New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival, making it extremely convenient for travelers who fly to Seoul on weekends.

II. The female leadership team at Sia Dermatology: From reality show contestants to those performing all procedures in person

What sets Sia Dermatology apart is its leadership team composed of former key members from Mews Dermatology, who design treatment plans from a female perspective.

The leadership team at Sia Dermatology boasts an average of over 10 years of clinical experience. The chief physician has even been invited to appear on romance variety shows in South Korea, while another director is a regular guest on KBS Joy’s beauty program “Beauty Check-in,” earning him considerable recognition within South Korea. This is precisely why many customers take the time to check the directors’ availability before making an appointment.

Sia Dermatology adopts a “full-process responsibility system by specialized doctors”: from the initial consultation and treatment plan formulation to the actual procedure, everything is handled by the same chief physician throughout, eliminating the split-role approach where the chief physician only conducts the consultation while an assistant performs the procedure.

Sia Dermatology emphasizes that procedures for contouring and anti-aging such as Thermage FLX and the Ulthrea are all performed personally by the clinic’s director. In Gangnam, where customer retention rates are of utmost importance, this approach stands out as a significant differentiator.

III. A Look Inside Sia Dermatology: Dual Consultation by Department Head and Clinic Director, Plus Mark-Vu Testing

Sia Dermatology adopts a two-tier consultation process led by both a department head and the clinic director. First, a department head who speaks fluent Mandarin discusses your needs and budget, followed by an in-person consultation with the clinic director themselves.

Every customer who visits Sia’s Dermatology clinic begins with a Mark-Vu skin analysis. This device uses four different LED light sources to accurately measure 12 key skin parameters, including Pores, fine lines, capillaries, pigmentation, and sebum levels. The entire testing process takes around 15 to 20 minutes.

At Sia Dermatology, in-person consultations are based on diagnostic reports. The clinic director will explain in detail which issues need to be addressed first and which can wait for medium- to long-term treatment, so as to avoid pushing the most expensive packages right from the start.

If no treatment is scheduled for the day, Sia Dermatology will charge a testing fee of around ₩25,000; if a treatment is performed that day, this testing fee can be deducted directly.

IV. Contour Lifting Treatments at Sia Dermatology: How Does the 2nd Generation HIFU + Thermage FLX + Titanium Lifting Work Together?

Sia Dermatology breaks down contour anti-aging treatment into three stages—restoring the skin barrier, deep lifting, and precise fine-tuning—rather than using all the devices at once on the same day.

At Sia Dermatology, the main treatments for skin lifting rely on the 2nd generation of Ulthrea and Thermage FLX. Ulthrea targets the fascial layer, making it ideal for addressing blurred jawlines and sagging in the mid-to-lower face, while Thermage FLX works on the dermal layer and is suitable for reducing skin elasticity and enlarged Pores. Both of these devices have been approved by the U.S. FDA as non-invasive solutions for skin lifting.

Sia Dermatology also offers Titanium Lifting (using three wavelengths: 755nm + 810nm + 1064nm) and Onda microwave lifting, specifically designed to address Double Chin and loose body contours.

Sia始雅Dermatology is equipped with 2 Thermage FLX units and 2 Onda devices, offering a sufficient number of machines that helps minimize wait times while using the treatments.

V. Sia Dermatology Pricing for 2026: Dual-Currency Comparison and the Value of a Personalized Approach

Sia始雅Dermatology primarily offers treatments that combine multiple devices, with prices clearly displayed on the BeautsGO platform. Below are the main contouring anti-aging treatments available in 2026. The exchange rate used is ₩1,000 ≈ NT$23, for reference only.

Plan Details	Korean Won	Book a consultation in TWD
Ulthrea 2nd Generation: 600 shots + Thermage FLX: 600 shots + Titanium Lifting: 40kJ + Onda: 60kJ	₩4,190,000	Around NT$96,000
Ulthrea 2nd Generation: 300 shots + Thermage FLX: 600 shots	₩2,990,000	Approximately NT$69,000
Ulthrea 2nd Generation: 300 shots + Onda30kj	₩1,190,000	Around NT$27,000
Ulthrea 2nd Generation – 300 shots + Sia Fat-Dissolving Needles 6 centum core	₩990,000	Around NT$23,000
Onda60kj + Titanium Lifting 30kj	₩599,000	Around NT$14,000

The prices at Sia Dermatology are higher than those at clinics that rely solely on automated treatment processes. This price difference mainly reflects the additional time cost associated with “personal consultation by the clinic director” and “private treatment rooms”.

Reminder: Tax refunds are generally not available for medical beauty treatments in South Korea. The final price will be based on the plan discussed after a personal consultation at Sia Dermatology.

VI. Who Is Sia Dermatology Suitable For? The Three-Color Decision Guide

✅ Suitable for: Korean beauty seekers who prioritize treatment performed personally by the director and refuse to have the procedure handed over to another practitioner midway; those looking to undergo treatments like HIFU or Thermage for contouring and anti-aging, and who wish to have full Chinese-speaking support throughout the process.

⚠️ Important note: Sia Dermatology will only open in December 2025, so it still has a limited number of completed treatments to show. It’s quite difficult to book appointments with the popular doctor during weekends, so it’s recommended to make reservations 2 to 3 weeks in advance.

❌ Not suitable for: those who only want to compare the lowest prices for Pico treatments and are after quick, inexpensive procedures; as well as those planning surgeries like nose augmentation or Double eyelid surgery (Sia Dermatology is a Dermatology clinic, not a plastic surgery center).

VII. How to Make an Appointment at Sia Dermatology & Transportation: All handled in one click via BeautsGO

Sia Dermatology operates on a reservation-based system, so it’s likely you won’t be able to get in without making an appointment in advance. It’s recommended to book 1 to 2 weeks before your visit, and during peak seasons such as holidays and the Spring Festival, book at least 1 month in advance.

Path 1 (highly recommended): Search for “Sia始雅” through the BeautsGO APP or WeChat Mini Program to view the complete price list, the director’s schedule, and available appointment times. With its Chinese interface, you can book an appointment in as fast as 5 minutes.

Option 2: Add BeautsGO’s official customer service WeChat account, where a Chinese-speaking agent will assist you one-on-one in confirming the director’s availability and treatment options.

Please bring your original passport for registration upon arrival. Sia Dermatology accepts payments via UnionPay, VISA, and cash.
