For Those Looking for a Dermatology Clinic in the Apgujeong and Dosan-daero Area
Walking through the Apgujeong area, you quickly notice that quite a few anti-aging and regenerative dermatology clinics have gathered here. Between Seoul Metro Line 3 Apgujeong Station and Suin-Bundang Line Apgujeong Rodeo Station, and stretching along the adjacent Dosan-daero corridor — a variety of clinics operate within this zone.
This guide, based on guidance from Dr. Kim Gun-woo, Medical Director of Cellinique on Gangnam Dosan-daero, focuses on the local accessibility of the Apgujeong area — its location, transit, and walking routes. General criteria for choosing which clinic to visit are organized separately in the Dosan-daero dermatology clinic guide, which you may find helpful to read alongside this one. This is not a ranking or comparison of specific clinics.
Three-point summary
1. The zone extending from Apgujeong Station and Apgujeong Rodeo Station to Dosan-daero has a high concentration of anti-aging-focused dermatology clinics, and is a local area with multiple access routes — by subway, bus, or car.
2. Anti-aging care more often requires a consistent revisit flow than a single visit, so a location and accessibility that make it easy to travel from home or work is a more important variable than many expect.
3. Cellinique (228 Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu) is approximately 10 minutes on foot from Apgujeong Station and Apgujeong Rodeo Station and offers valet parking, making it an accessible option for a care flow with frequent revisits. General criteria for which clinic to choose are delegated to the Dosan-daero guide.
1. What Kind of Area Is the Apgujeong and Dosan-daero Zone?
Geographically, Line 3 Apgujeong Station and Suin-Bundang Line Apgujeong Rodeo Station (K212) sit at the intersection of Apgujeong-dong, Cheongdam-dong, and Sinsa-dong in Gangnam-gu. Dosan-daero — the main arterial road linking the two stations — runs from the direction of Galleria Department Store toward Sinsa-dong Garosu-gil, with anti-aging and aesthetic medical institutions distributed along this corridor.

- Apgujeong Rodeo Station (Suin-Bundang Line K212) is located at the boundary of Apgujeong-dong, Cheongdam-dong, and Sinsa-dong in Gangnam-gu, approximately 5 minutes on foot from the Dosan-daero corridor.
- Cellinique address: B1 & 2F, Yeonseung Building, 228 Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Per the clinic's official guidance, the clinic is approximately 10 minutes on foot from Apgujeong Station and Hak-dong Station.
- Walking distances and times may vary depending on the route taken.
This area has convenient access across multiple transport options. Beyond the subway, bus and vehicle access are relatively easy, and some clinics — including Cellinique — offer valet parking, which lowers the barrier for patients driving in. Anti-aging care more often requires a consistent revisit flow rather than resolving everything in a single visit, so accessibility tends to be a more important variable than many patients initially expect.
2. From Apgujeong Station and Apgujeong Rodeo Station to Dosan-daero — Transit and Walking Routes
The greatest strength of this zone is that there are multiple ways to get here. Here is how to reach the Dosan-daero corridor from the Apgujeong area, broken down by route.
By subway
From Line 3 Apgujeong Station, it is about a 10-minute walk toward Dosan-daero; from Suin-Bundang Line Apgujeong Rodeo Station (K212), the Dosan-daero corridor is about 5 minutes on foot. Walking along the Dosan-daero corridor from the direction of Galleria Department Store toward Sinsa-dong Garosu-gil makes the route easy to follow. Cellinique (228 Dosan-daero) is within walking distance of both Apgujeong Station and Apgujeong Rodeo Station, so either station works without difficulty.
By bus or car
Dosan-daero is a major arterial road, so bus routes are plentiful and vehicle access is relatively easy. Some clinics — including Cellinique — offer valet parking, which eases the parking burden for those arriving by car. Anti-aging care more often requires a consistent revisit flow than a single visit, so it helps to check in advance whether the route from home or work is easy to travel.

If you are choosing a dermatology clinic for the first time, reading that guide alongside this one is helpful. This guide focuses on the location and accessibility of the Apgujeong area.
3. Anti-Aging Procedure Trends in the Apgujeong and Dosan-daero Area
Anti-aging focused dermatology clinics operating in this area generally frame their approach around combination care design. Rather than resolving all concerns with a single procedure, the current direction involves addressing different axes — skin structure, elasticity, and regeneration — as distinct dimensions.
Procedure types commonly discussed
- Skin boosters and collagen stimulation — Products such as Juvelook (PDLLA + HA) and Rejuran (PN-based) aimed at supporting the skin's own regenerative capacity
- Lifting — Device-based procedures such as Ulthera and Thermage aimed at restoring tissue elasticity
- Booster and regenerative combination — Regenerative-direction approaches such as Profhilo (NAHYCO® HA) and SVF (autologous adipose-derived cell) procedures
- Botulinum Toxin and fillers — For wrinkle correction and volume restoration
Which combination of procedures is right for you depends on your skin condition, age, and lifestyle patterns. Rather than choosing a "popular procedure of the season," the more important sequence is to first assess your current skin condition through consultation, then design the procedure plan from there.
Outcomes, duration of effect, and suitability vary depending on each individual's skin condition, age, and lifestyle patterns; identical results cannot be guaranteed. Procedures carry the possibility of temporary redness, swelling, and other side effects, and contraindications may apply — these should be confirmed during pre-treatment consultation.
4. How Cellinique Has Established Itself in This Area
Cellinique is located at 228 Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu (B1 & 2F, Yeonseung Building). If traveling via Apgujeong Station or Apgujeong Rodeo Station, the clinic is approximately 10 minutes on foot, and valet parking is available for those arriving by car.
Cellinique's operating approach can be summarized as one-on-one direct consultation and treatment by Dr. Kim Gun-woo, Medical Director. The clinic maintains a structure in which the physician who handles the initial consultation is also responsible for treatment and follow-up. Per the clinic's information, operations are centered on clinical experience in anti-aging and regenerative procedures, with suitability assessment and procedure design reviewed together during the pre-evaluation stage.
The following items reflect the operating approach as disclosed by Cellinique.
- Direct consultation, treatment, and follow-up review by Dr. Kim Gun-woo, Medical Director (per clinic information)
- VAIM Juvelook Global Trainer education completion (per clinic information — official manufacturer roster requires separate verification)
- IFAAS Faculty listing (per clinic information — original official roster requires separate verification)
- Valet parking · Mon–Fri 10:00–19:00 · Last Saturday of each month 10:00–16:30
For details on credentials and training history, confirming directly during consultation is recommended. Whatever the clinic, the best way to assess whether stated information aligns with actual operating practice is to experience the consultation in person.
5. Mapping Out Your Route in the Apgujeong Area in Advance
When visiting this area for the first time, sketching out which station and direction give you the closest approach makes the trip much smoother. Choose whichever of Apgujeong Station (Line 3) or Apgujeong Rodeo Station (Suin-Bundang Line) is closer to your starting point, plan your walking route toward Dosan-daero from there, and if driving, confirm valet parking availability in advance. Cellinique is at Yeonseung Building, 228 Dosan-daero — within walking distance of both stations.
Meanwhile, the general checklist worth preparing before a consultation (current skin concerns, previous procedure history, current medications, allergies, pregnancy/breastfeeding status, care goals, budget range, and so on) consists of location-independent shared items, organized in the Dosan-daero dermatology clinic guide. The more thoroughly this information is shared during the consultation stage, the more accurately the physician can suggest a direction suited to your condition.
6. Apgujeong and Dosan-daero Area — For Those Beginning Their Care Journey Here
The Apgujeong and Dosan-daero zone offers an abundance of options for anti-aging-focused clinics while also being a local area that is easy to reach — by subway, bus, or car. For a care flow with frequent revisits, like anti-aging care, checking first whether the location is one you can travel to consistently from home or work — rather than chasing the name of a popular procedure — is more likely to influence satisfaction.
Cellinique is one clinic within this zone, located on Dosan-daero (228 Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu). Given its location adjacent to Apgujeong on Dosan-daero, it can be a consultation option worth considering for those thinking about a consistent longer-term care flow, particularly due to the convenience it offers for revisits and follow-up.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. Are Apgujeong dermatology clinics and Dosan-daero dermatology clinics different?
Geographically, the Apgujeong area and Dosan-daero are adjacent. Dosan-daero connects Line 3 Apgujeong Station and Suin-Bundang Line Apgujeong Rodeo Station, which is why this zone is often referred to collectively as the "Apgujeong and Dosan-daero area." Cellinique is located at 228 Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu, approximately 10 minutes on foot from Apgujeong Station.
Q2. Should I choose a clinic that has a dermatology specialist?
A dermatology specialist credential is one reference indicator for understanding a physician's background. In Korea, aesthetic and regenerative procedures can be performed by any licensed physician regardless of specialty, and in practice the physician's proficiency with the specific procedure, clinical experience, and safety management standards tend to have a more direct impact on outcomes. Reviewing both credentials and experience alongside the consultation approach is recommended.
Q3. Are dermatology clinics in the Apgujeong area expensive?
Pricing varies by clinic, and within the same clinic it depends on the type of procedure, the area being treated, and the overall plan design. Specific pricing can only be shared during a pre-treatment consultation. Rather than assuming "it must be expensive because it's Apgujeong," confirming the actual plan and cost together in consultation is more accurate.
Q4. Can I visit Cellinique for just an initial consultation?
Absolutely. You are welcome to visit for a consultation regardless of whether you decide to proceed with any treatment. Having a conversation in consultation about what procedure direction might be appropriate for you in the Apgujeong and Dosan-daero area, and what approach may suit your current skin condition, is the most helpful first step toward making a good decision. Please contact us at 02-6203-3434 or via KakaoTalk.
Q5. Is parking available if I come by car?
Cellinique offers valet parking. The clinic is located at Yeonseung Building, 228 Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu. By public transportation, take Line 3 Apgujeong Station or Suin-Bundang Line Apgujeong Rodeo Station and walk approximately 10 minutes.
Q6. What is a good order to follow for someone receiving anti-aging treatment for the first time?
There is no single fixed answer — it depends on skin condition, age, and goals. In general, a safe flow is: pre-treatment consultation to evaluate current skin condition → goal setting → sequential design starting with the highest-priority procedures. Rather than choosing a "trending procedure" first, identify the direction that fits your skin through consultation.
Q7. Who is the physician at Cellinique?
Dr. Kim Gun-woo, Medical Director, is a specialist in clinical laboratory medicine (not a dermatology specialist). The clinic operates with a focus on clinical experience in anti-aging and regenerative procedures, and maintains a structure in which Dr. Kim personally handles consultation, treatment, and follow-up review. Detailed credentials and training history can be confirmed directly during consultation.
Q8. Can I compare Cellinique with other dermatology clinics in the Apgujeong and Dosan-daero area?
This guide does not rank or compare specific clinics against one another. Multiple clinics operate within the same zone, each with different operating approaches, areas of focus, and physician backgrounds. General selection criteria — direct physician care, depth of pre-treatment consultation, safety standards, side effect explanation, and follow-up accessibility — are organized into five axes in the Dosan-daero dermatology clinic guide; using those as your guide and confirming through direct consultation is recommended.
