Checklist
What should you verify before choosing a clinic in Seoul?
Check eight things before you book, ideally in writing. Each one is easy to ask about by message, and a clear, specific answer is a good sign.
- Doctor credentials Find out who will treat you and confirm their degree, specialty and board certification.
- Device authenticity Ask which exact devices are used and whether consumables such as tips are genuine and single-patient.
- Official designations Look for recognition from government or district bodies, not only online rankings.
- Language support Make sure explanations, consent and aftercare come in a language you understand well.
- Aftercare abroad Ask what happens if you have questions or a reaction after you fly home.
- Sterile preparation For injectables and regenerative care, ask where and how materials are prepared.
- Transparent consent Expect a clear explanation of benefits, side effects, alternatives and limits before you sign.
- Practical access Check the location, opening hours and how easy it is to return during your stay.

Practicalities
Where is the clinic and when is it open?
The clinic occupies the 11th and 13th floors of the WON Building, 121 Teheran-ro, Gangnam-gu, about a 4-minute walk from Exit 12 of Gangnam Station (Line 2 and Shinbundang Line).
| Day | Hours (KST) |
|---|---|
| Monday to Thursday | 10:00–19:00 |
| Friday | 10:00–21:00 |
| Saturday | 10:00–16:00 |
| Sundays and public holidays | Closed |
Friday evenings suit travellers who land in the afternoon, and Saturday mornings work for short weekend stays. Gangnam Station is on Line 2, Seoul's circle line, so many central hotels are a short subway ride away.
Plan treatment for Monday to Saturday, because the clinic is closed on Sundays and Korean public holidays.

FAQ
Anti-Aging Clinic: your questions, answered
Reviewed by Dr. Ho-chan Kim, MD, PhD · Updated October 2026
How do I check a doctor's credentials in Korea?
Ask the clinic for the doctor's full name, degree, specialty and year of board certification, then confirm that the same doctor will treat you. At Celliting, Dr. Ho-chan Kim is a board-certified General Surgeon and Dr. Young-mi Rhee is board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology, both since 1995.
What does the MOHW designation mean for patients?
It means Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare designated the clinic an Advanced Regenerative Medicine Institution on June 15, 2026. For patients it is an external, government-level recognition related to regenerative medicine, which is useful when comparing clinics that offer stem cell or cell-based programs.
How can I tell a lifting device is genuine?
Ask for the exact device name and whether consumables are new and used for one patient only. For Thermage, patients can verify a genuine tip through the official Korean Thermage website, and Celliting uses a dedicated tip for each patient. A clinic should be comfortable showing you this.
Is the clinic open at weekends?
The clinic is open on Saturdays from 10:00 to 16:00 KST and closed on Sundays and public holidays. On weekdays it opens at 10:00 and closes at 19:00 from Monday to Thursday and at 21:00 on Fridays.
Can I contact the clinic before I arrive in Korea?
Yes. You can reach the team on WhatsApp at +82-10-4567-3237, through KakaoTalk or Instagram, or via the consultation form. Sharing photos, concerns and travel dates in advance helps the team prepare for your consultation in Gangnam, Seoul.
