Advanced Thread Lifting Options
Patients can choose between different types of threads depending on their aesthetic goals. Mint Thread Lifting may cost around $220 and is known for results that last over 10 months, often up to 18 months. This method helps with moderate skin sagging and creating a sharper V-line.

For those focusing on the mid-face, nose thread lifting is available starting from around $130.
What to Expect During the Visit
The process begins with a detailed diagnostic step using a Mark-Vu or Meta-Vu skin scan. This scan is free and helps the doctor create a precise plan. The treatment itself takes about 30 to 60 minutes. Doctors use local anesthesia or numbing cream to keep the patient comfortable. After the procedure, the team provides specific guidance on how to care for your skin at home.
- Mint Threads: Focus on lifting sagging skin with results lasting 12+ months.
- Jamber Threads: Provide a subtle lift with a downtime of 1–2 weeks.
- Skin Analysis: Includes a free professional skin scan before the procedure starts.
Recovery and Results
Downtime is relatively short compared to traditional surgery. Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising for about 3 to 7 days. The clinic maintains transparent pricing, charging the same rates for international visitors and local residents. A 10% VAT is added at the time of payment. The facility also provides free parking and on-site interpreter services to help international guests feel at home.

REPIC Clinic Gangnam: more details about the clinic
REPIC Clinic Gangnam is a private medical aesthetics facility in Seoul's Gangnam-gu district. The clinic uses a diagnostic-first approach, with objective data guiding all treatment decisions. Every visit begins with a Mark-Vu or Meta-Vu skin scan to analyze underlying conditions. Doctors personally review these reports with patients before recommending procedures.
Accreditations and Professional Team
The clinic is registered to treat international patients and holds medical liability insurance. Six doctors perform all consultations and device-based treatments personally. Dr. Kang Mijeong, a board-certified Family Medicine specialist, heads the aesthetic department. She completed her residency at Seoul National University Hospital. Dr. Kim Hyojin, a board-certified pediatrician trained at Catholic University St. Mary's Hospital, is also on staff.
Aesthetic Dermatology and Skin Lifting
The clinic specializes in non-surgical lifting and skin rejuvenation using radiofrequency and ultrasound technologies. Specialists use Thermage with AccuREP™ technology to tighten skin. This system delivers cooling pulses and vibration to protect the outer layer while heating the dermis. For targeted care, the clinic uses specialized Thermage tips:
- Thermage Total tip (4.0 cm²) for full-face treatment
- Thermage Eye tip (0.25 cm²) for the area around the eyes
Density RF is also available as a high-frequency option for skin tightening. The clinic integrates Ultherapy and MOXI laser treatments into its lifting protocols. Dr. Yong-Heon Ha, a member of the Korean Society for Aesthetic Laser Medicine, oversees many laser-based procedures. Treatment plans for acne, pigmentation, and redness are adjusted based on the initial digital skin scan.
Injectables and Advanced Scar Care
REPIC Clinic Gangnam provides customized injection therapy for wrinkles, jaw contouring, and hyperhidrosis. Four toxin brands are available:
- Allergan Botox (imported)
- Xeomin (imported)
- Hitox (Korean)
- Coretox (Korean)
Doctors open imported vials in front of patients to confirm authenticity and dose. Wrinkle and jaw injections typically take 10 minutes.
For acne scars, the clinic uses a signature Subcision + Curejet method. This technique releases fibrous bands under the skin and adds Collaum collagen boosters to improve texture. Doctors also perform filler injections tailored to individual facial proportions.
Diagnostic Technology
The clinic uses advanced digital imaging to spot skin concerns before they become visible. Mark-Vu and Meta-Vu scans provide detailed RSTI reports on pores, dryness, and dark circles. Specialists also use digital dermoscopy for mole mapping and assessment. These tools let the team track progress accurately over multiple sessions. All diagnostic data is stored to keep long-term treatment planning consistent.
International Patient Services
On-site interpreters are available for English, Chinese, and Japanese speakers. Arabic, Spanish, and Russian support can be arranged with advance booking. Patients receive clear aftercare instructions and can ask follow-up questions through mobile messengers after returning home. The facility is in Tower 837 and offers free parking. Staff assist with communication through WhatsApp, LINE, and KakaoTalk for convenient scheduling.
