What kind of clinic is Dear Clinic?
An aesthetic clinic in Cheongdam, Gangnam, Seoul, operating across six treatment categories with five licensed directors. The working model is diagnostic: imaging first, a written plan second, the instrument third, and the same order runs for a first-time visitor and a ten-year patient.
Where exactly is it, and which floors?
Fifth and seventh floors of the Namhangang Building, 85-3 Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Consultation, treatment and recovery are spread across the two floors, so you are not waiting in the same corridor you were treated in.
Is the clinic open on Sundays and public holidays?
Yes, 365 days a year. Weekdays run 10:00 to 19:00; Saturdays, Sundays and Korean public holidays run 10:00 to 16:00, with no lunch closure. For a short trip, that usually decides whether a plan happens at all.
Are prices published, and do foreign patients pay more?
Rates are published in KRW with a USD equivalent for orientation, and there is no foreign-patient surcharge. The figure on the list is the figure charged. Shot counts and unit numbers are set at examination, so your plan is the published units added up and written down before treatment.
Who will actually see me — a doctor or a therapist?
A director. All five doctors consult and treat, and the one who reads your imaging is the one performing. Aesthetic outcomes turn on placement and setting, so the reading and the doing are not split between two people here.
What happens at a first visit?
EVE Muse 3D imaging under five light sources with AI analysis, then a consultation where that reading is discussed against what you want changed, then a written plan with unit counts priced from the published list. Treatment follows only after you have approved that plan.
Which treatment categories are offered?
Lifting and tightening, dermal fillers, skin boosters, botulinum toxin, laser and pigment and acne work, and body and wellness — plus fixed Dear Signature programmes built from those categories. Each has a category page listing what is genuinely performed here.
Which devices does the clinic actually own?
Seven lifting platforms including focused ultrasound, monopolar and high-density radiofrequency, microwaves and multi-wavelength lifting, plus a laser room with vascular and pigment lasers, RF microneedling, insulated microneedle radiofrequency, a needle-free jet injector and a two-wavelength hair removal console.
What certifications does the clinic hold?
Thermage certification for three consecutive years, 2024, 2025 and 2026, and Ultherapy Certified Treatment Provider certificates held by two of the five directors, issued by Merz Aesthetics. Display plaques and attendance records exist in the cabinet but are not presented as qualifications.
Can I be seen in English or Spanish?
Consultations run in English, and the site and enquiry handling exist in Spanish as well. Messaging before you travel is the usual route, because the decisions worth making — suitability, visit count, figure — can largely be settled in writing first.
Can I have treatment on the same day as the consultation?
Often yes, where the imaging supports it and the treatment needs no preparation you have not already done. Where a session has to wait — recent sun, active inflammation, a medication that changes bleeding risk — the reason is explained and a date is set instead.
What if the treatment I ask for is not suitable?
You will be told so in the consultation room, with the reading on the screen, and offered the alternative that does fit or told that nothing here addresses it. Holding every category in one building is what makes saying that affordable.
