Looking to shop around in Myeongdong, Seoul, and take the opportunity to get a facial treatment to boost your Collagen levels? Located in the heart of Myeongdong’s shopping district, DAN-A Dermatology has earned a reputation as a highly popular clinic among tourists from China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, as well as local Seoul residents, thanks to its three key strengths: in-person consultations by the director, top-notch techniques, and excellent value for money. This guide provides you with a comprehensive 2026 edition covering everything from the qualifications of the doctors and popular treatment options to the booking process and actual costs.

What kind of institution is the DAN-A CLINIC in Myeongdong?

Founded in 2013, DAN-A CLINIC (Korean: 단아의원) is located on the 3rd floor of the Arnuvo Centum City building at 21, 7-ro, Myeongdong, Jung, Seoul. Situated right next to the back street of Lotte Department Store, it is surrounded by the Kakao Friends flagship store, Starbucks, and Olive Young, making it convenient to stop by during your shopping trips thanks to its excellent transportation access.

It takes about 5 minutes to get there directly from the subway: Take Line 4 to Myeongdong Station, exit No. 6, turn right and walk straight for 200 meters. There are shaded walkways along the way, so you don’t have to worry about getting wet even on rainy days. The clinic focuses on “one-on-one Dermatology” services, with the same doctor handling everything from the initial consultation to the treatment—no assembly-line approach. This makes it highly popular among customers who place great importance on medical quality.

Currently, the clinic has 1 chief physician, 2 deputy physicians, and 3 nursing assistants. Full Chinese-language services are available, allowing visitors from mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong to communicate seamlessly in Chinese.

Medical Team and Technical Expertise

The clinic’s star physician is its chief representative, Lee Eun-ji (이은지). She is one of the few dermatologists today who holds multiple international certifications.

• Ulthrea Key Doctor (Core Instructor) – Represents South Korea in officially certified training programs
• Lizhu Lan Key Doctor – Uses a new needle for every 1 cc when administering injectables to minimize bruising as much as possible.
• Oligio’s core therapist — with a thermal energy output of 400, comparable to the US version of Thermage
• Key Doctor for Microcrystalline Ceramic (Radiesse) — One of the first certified injectors in South Korea

The clinic director is renowned for using the HIFU device by ensuring no energy is wasted and constantly adjusting the tip based on real-time observations of the subcutaneous layers—his technical precision far exceeds that of standard procedural approaches at regular chain clinics. Deputy directors Jeong Go-eun and Bae Jae-hok specialize in pigment treatment and skin management respectively. Together, these three physicians offer comprehensive solutions to a wide range of concerns, including anti-aging, spot removal, and acne-prone skin.

Popular Procedures and Ideal Candidates

DAN-A Dermatology focuses on anti-aging and skin lifting treatments as its two core services. Here are the most popular treatments among tourists right now:

Appointment Process and In-Person Consultation Experience

The schedule of the director at DAN-A Dermatology is usually filled up 3–5 days in advance. It’s recommended to make an online reservation through BeautsGO before you travel to secure your preferred appointment time. Here’s how a Taiwanese tourist actually went about it:

“I booked a HIFU treatment through BeautsGO a week before my trip. Once I arrived in Myeongdong, I headed to the 3rd floor of the Arnuvo Centum building; the reception staff there spoke Chinese. During the consultation, the doctor used a skin analysis device to examine my skin and adjusted the HIFU tip combination based on the degree of sagging under my skin. Instead of pushing the most expensive option, their approach made
me feel very reassured.”
— A 34-year-old tourist from Taiwan, shared with permission in November 2025

The entire process from the consultation to the procedure takes about 1.5–2 hours (depending on the treatment). After the surgery, a nurse will apply ice compresses and provide instructions for post-operative care back home. The clinic also offers Chinese-language post-operative care guides for you to take with you as a reference.

Hospital environment and service details

The clinic is located inside the bustling Arnuvo Centum Mall in Myeongdong, featuring a soothing beige-themed interior design. The waiting area is equipped with drinks and charging stations, allowing visitors to relax fully before their treatments. Thanks to its strict one-on-one service policy, only a limited number of patients are scheduled at a time, helping to avoid crowded corridors and long wait times.

Extra perks offered by the clinic:

• Before the in-person consultation, the clinic director will use skin analysis devices to scan the skin and provide an objective assessment before recommending appropriate treatments.
• For injection treatments, we insist on changing the needle every 1 cc to effectively reduce the risk of bruising.
• Chinese translation is available throughout the process, so international tourists won’t have to worry about communication barriers.
• Multiple payment options available: Alipay, WeChat Pay, and UnionPay cards are all accepted
