I have been receiving dermatological treatments at Apgujeong for three years. Why is CNP Dermatology the clinic I always return to?
If someone asks me, “Which Dermatology clinic in Gangnam is the best to go to?” I would probably answer immediately: CNP Dermatology’s flagship clinic in Apgujeong. It’s not because it is a medical beauty brand owned by a major South Korean skincare company, nor because it is located in the most prime area of Apgujeong. The reason is simply that I have been receiving skincare treatments at this clinic for a full three years. My skin condition has undergone a remarkable transformation—from suffering from frequent acne in the past to barely needing any makeup coverage nowadays. This clinic has truly witnessed the biggest improvement in my skin’s health.
Today, I would like to share in detail my real experiences over these three years – including the projects I have undertaken, the costs involved, my post-treatment feelings, and why I have never considered changing to another company.
I. What is the background of CNP Dermatology? Why is the flagship store in Apgujeong particularly worth visiting?
CNP (Cosmetic Native Platform) is a highly renowned skincare brand originating from South Korea, and it is part of the LG Health & Wellness Group. CNP Dermatology is the medical aesthetics clinic directly operated by this brand. From skincare products to injectable treatments, all products used are from the brand’s own line or well-known brands such as LG Health & Wellness, ensuring traceability and the authenticity of the products.
The flagship store of Apgujeong occupies the entire third floor of the building – the first floor is used for reception and consultations, the second floor for administrative tasks, and the third floor for advanced medical treatments. Every doctor here has at least 8 years of clinical experience, so there is no possibility of young interns performing procedures as “practice sessions.” In addition, the clinic provides translation services in Chinese, English, and Japanese, and all treatments are conducted in private rooms to ensure patient confidentiality.
It is also worth mentioning that CNP Dermatology has a dedicated page on the BeautsGO platform. You can click here to view detailed information about the clinic and available appointment services. For those visiting South Korea for medical aesthetics treatments for the first time, booking through this platform is certainly much more convenient than trying to arrange everything on your own.

| Address | 4th Floor, Jilin Building, 168 Apgujeong-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (Sinsa-dong) |
| transportation | Exit 1 of Apgujeong Station on Line 3 of the subway, about a 5-minute walk |
| Opening hours | Monday to Friday: 09:30–18:30 (lunch break: 13:00–14:00) Saturday: 0 9:30–17:00 Closed on Wednesday s and Sundays. |

III. Common Services and Price References
| Project Name | Reference price | Suitable for | Recommended frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra-fine bubble Pores cleansing | Starting from ¥3,500 | Enlarged Pores, Blackheads and Acne | Once every 2–4 weeks |
| Basic glow injection therapy | Starting from ¥12,000 | Dry, dull skin with fine lines | Once every 3 to 6 months |
| Photon skin rejuvenation (for the entire face) | Starting from ¥8,000 | Uneven skin tone, visible capillaries | Once a month, 3 to 5 treatment sessions in total. |
| laser whitening | Starting from ¥9,000 | Dull skin tone, pigmentation buildup | Once every 4 to 6 weeks |

| Ultrasound lifting and anti-aging treatment (for the entire face) | Starting from ¥45,000 | The face becomes loose, and the jawline becomes less distinct. | 1-2 times a year |
The price is on the higher side compared to other medical beauty clinics in Gangnam District, but considering the quality assurance provided by the brand’s direct operation and the qualifications of the doctors, I personally think the cost-performance ratio is very good. Especially for injectable treatments, all regular medications are used, and this is a crucial factor when choosing a clinic.
IV. My personal experience: Three-year follow-up – what treatments have I undergone?
To conclude, over the past three years, I have mainly focused on three treatments: ultramicrobubble cleansing, hyaluronic acid injections, and photorejuvenation, with occasional laser whitening treatments as well.
“Visia Generation 7 skin analysis will truly surprise you – it can quantify all aspects of your skin, such as UV-induced spots, clogged Pores, sebum production, and the depth of wrinkles, and it is even capable of detecting potential spots in the subcutaneous layer.”
“About a week after getting the hyaluronic acid injections, my friend said the first thing when we met: ‘What foundation are you using lately? Your skin looks so radiant.’ I told her I wasn’t wearing any makeup at all – and in that moment, I felt that the money spent was well worth it.”
Over these past three years, what I have realized most deeply is that CNP Dermatology never forces customers to undergo certain treatments. Every time I visit, the doctor will provide recommendations based on the results of my Visia examination. If they determine that my skin condition does not require a particular treatment, they will simply say, “You can skip it this time.” This approach of avoiding aggressive sales tactics is one of the main reasons why I continue to return to CNP Dermatology.

VI. How to make an appointment with CNP Dermatology? BeautsGO makes appointments simple.
I also encountered quite a few problems on previous occasions—for example, when I tried to make calls but both parties couldn’t understand each other. Later, a friend recommended BeautsGO, and things completely changed. The exclusive reservation page for the CNP Dermatology Apgujeong store can be found here.

If your skin problems are similar to mine three years ago – enlarged Pores, dull skin tone, and frequent acne – I would highly recommend that you visit CNP Dermatology.
