A Skin Clinic Near Gangnam, in Seongsu, Seoul
Physician-led skin and body care in Seongsu, an easy Line 2 ride from Gangnam
If you searched for a skin clinic in Gangnam, we want to be upfront: Seongsu Melting Clinic is not in Gangnam. We are in Seongsu-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, a short walk from Seongsu Station (Line 2, Exit 2). For many visitors staying in or around Gangnam, that is roughly a 20 to 30 minute ride on Line 2, depending on where you start.
This page explains where we are, how to get here from Gangnam, and why some patients choose to make the trip.
What is Seongsu, and how far is it from Gangnam?
Seongsu is a neighborhood on the east side of Seoul, north of the Han River. Once known for workshops and small factories, it is now full of cafes, design studios, and shops, which makes it an easy place to combine a clinic visit with an afternoon out.
Line 2 is the green circle line that runs through Gangnam Station and Seongsu Station, so there is usually no need to transfer if you start on Line 2. From Seongsu Station, take Exit 2 and walk about three minutes. Village buses Seongdong 10 (from Exit 2) and Seongdong 13 (from Exit 3) also stop nearby, and parking is available at the building if you come by car or taxi.
How we approach care at Seongsu Melting Clinic
Our clinic is led by Dr. Park Kyung-min, MD, PhD, a board-certified family medicine physician and certified obesity specialist whose practice focuses on aesthetic skin, lifting, and body contouring. He handles consultations and treatments personally, one-on-one, from start to finish.
- Face-structure-first lifting: Dr. Park palpates ligaments and fat before choosing a device such as ONDA, InMode, Shurink Universe, Sunny lifting, Lapera Pro, or Ultherapy Prime.
- Signature recipes: the steroid-free MelFat injection, the Melting Glow regeneration injection, and our golden-ratio MiraJet protocol.
- Genuine products at the exact dose for Botox, fillers, and skin boosters.
- A calm space: private one-person skincare rooms and separated flows for skincare, laser, and procedures.
A good fit if…
- You are staying in Gangnam or elsewhere on Line 2 and do not mind a short subway ride.
- You value speaking with the same doctor from consultation through treatment.
- You want an honest plan, including being told when a treatment is not right for you.
Consider something else if…
- You specifically need a dermatology specialist or a surgeon; Dr. Park is a family medicine physician.
- You have very little time and need a clinic within walking distance of your hotel.
- You are looking for surgical-level results; we will tell you honestly if a surgeon is a better choice.
What to expect when you visit from Gangnam
Most visitors start by messaging the clinic in English through WhatsApp, LINE, WeChat, or KakaoTalk to share their concerns and preferred dates. On the day, allow time for travel, a consultation, and the treatment itself. Some treatments are quick; ONDA lifting takes about 20 minutes and skin boosters or MelFat about 30 minutes, not counting consultation and preparation. Pricing is explained at consultation.
We are open weekdays 10:00 to 20:00 (lunch 13:00 to 14:00) and Saturdays 9:30 to 15:00. We are closed Sundays and public holidays, so plan around those if your trip is short.
Aftercare on the way back
- Bring sunscreen and a hat, especially after laser or peel treatments.
- Skip saunas, hot baths, and heavy exercise on the day if advised.
- Keep our messaging contact so you can send a photo or question after you leave.
A note from Dr. Park
Dr. Park believes a longer ride is only worth it if the consultation is honest. He looks at face structure before recommending any device, explains his reasoning before he starts, and keeps talking with patients during treatment so they know what is happening. If a simpler option or no treatment makes more sense, he says so.
