Why we practice the way we do
Gangnam Celliting Clinic is built on a simple conviction: real rejuvenation happens cell by cell, and it deserves a doctor's full attention, heart and soul. Every consultation, treatment, and procedure here is performed personally by our two MD-PhD medical directors, Dr. Ho-chan Kim and Dr. Young-mi Rhee, who each bring more than 25 years of clinical experience to a single, unhurried answer for your skin and body.
Our story began in 2007, when the clinic first opened its doors in Gangnam. Dr. Kim, a board-certified surgeon who served as President of the Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, joined in 2012 and expanded the surgical center. A dedicated stem cell center followed in 2021, and in September 2025 we reopened under a new name, Gangnam Celliting Clinic, to say out loud what we had always practiced quietly. As Dr. Kim puts it: "Thirty years of refined skill and knowledge: devoted, heart and soul, to your best result."

Five things that set Gangnam Celliting Clinic apart
The clinic has operated since 2007 without a serious complication. We use FDA/KFDA-cleared devices and authentic, verified materials only, maintain four sterile rooms, and monitor every patient closely from the first consultation to the final check.
Consultation, treatment, and surgery are all performed personally by our medical directors, never handed off. For major procedures, both directors participate together, combining a surgeon's precision with more than two decades of women's health and anti-aging expertise.
Nobody should dread a treatment. We offer monitored sleep sedation, AirNox nitrous-oxygen analgesia, the X-injector designed to reduce injection pain by about 80 percent, and topical and local anesthesia, all matched to each procedure and each patient.
With 27 premium devices to draw on, we design lifting plans around your age, skin type, and ethnicity rather than fitting you to a machine, and pair treatments with hyperbaric oxygen therapy to shorten recovery. Results vary from person to person.
English, Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese support through partner interpreters and AI translation tablets; more than 1,500 international patients cared for since 2020; free three-month email and messenger follow-up after you return home; and a 24-hour emergency line.
