Worried about “factory clinics” in Gangnam? This guide explains what people usually mean by a factory clinic, why it matters who consults you and who actually treats you, and how The H Faceup Clinic in Seoul works differently — with one doctor, Dr. Hwang In-sung, from consultation to the final shot.
Before booking an aesthetic treatment in Seoul, international patients often ask us:
“Will the doctor I meet be the one who treats me?”
“Is this a factory clinic?”
“Can you tell me how many shots I need from a photo?”
The short answer: at our clinic, Dr. Hwang In-sung personally consults and treats every patient. Your treatment is decided at your visit, after Dr. Hwang examines your face in person, and the same doctor performs it, adjusting the plan as the treatment goes.
What is a “factory clinic” in Gangnam?
“Factory clinic” is an informal term patients use for very high-volume aesthetic clinics. It is not a medical category, and every clinic works differently, but the concerns people describe are usually the same:
■ The consultation is with someone else
Patients meet a counselor or coordinator and agree on a package before ever speaking with a doctor.
■ The doctor changes
The doctor who performs the treatment may not be the one the patient met, and may see the patient for only a few minutes.
■ The plan comes from a menu
Treatments are chosen from a fixed list of packages rather than designed for the individual face.
None of this is unusual in a busy city, and many patients are happy with fast, simple appointments. But for treatments like Thermage FLX and Rejuran, where the result depends on how the energy or product is placed, who decides and who treats matters a great deal.
Why does it matter that the same doctor consults and treats you?
The same device and the same number of shots do not guarantee the same result. With Thermage FLX, the outcome depends on reading your facial structure, skin thickness and the direction of sagging, and then deciding where and how much energy to deliver. With Rejuran, it depends on the depth, spacing and amount placed in each area.
When the doctor who assessed your face is the one holding the handpiece or the needle, nothing is lost between the plan and the treatment. Dr. Hwang adjusts as the treatment goes — zone by zone — based on what was seen at the consultation and how your skin responds on the day.
Can you decide my treatment from a photo or a chat message?
Your treatment, number of shots and amount of Rejuran are decided at your visit, after Dr. Hwang examines you in person. An examination shows what a photo cannot — skin thickness, firmness and how your face moves — so the plan truly fits your face.
Every plan at our clinic is decided after Dr. Hwang examines you in person. WhatsApp and KakaoTalk are for booking your consultation and answering general questions — the decision itself happens in the consultation room.

What happens from consultation to treatment at The H Faceup Clinic?
■ 1. Consultation — Dr. Hwang
Dr. Hwang examines your skin and listens to what bothers you. If a treatment is not right for you, you will hear that too.
■ 2. Your plan — Dr. Hwang
The number of Thermage shots, the amount of Rejuran and the areas to focus on are decided for your face, not picked from a menu.
■ 3. Treatment — Dr. Hwang
Dr. Hwang performs the treatment personally. For Thermage, you stay awake, as the manufacturer recommends, so the energy can be adjusted to your response.

You leave with the same written aftercare guide we give every patient, and you can contact us with any questions after you return home.
How do you keep treatments genuine and full-dose?
Genuine and full-dose (정품·정량) is one of the basics we never compromise on:
• As an Official Thermage FLX Anti-Aging Center, we use only genuine tips officially imported through Solta Medical, opened in front of you.
• You receive a certificate of authenticity and your used tip after treatment.
• Rejuran products are strictly managed from distribution to storage, and opened in front of you.
• The number of shots you paid for is the number delivered.
What questions should I ask a clinic in Gangnam before booking?
Whichever clinic you choose, these five questions tell you a lot:
| Question to ask | At The H Faceup Clinic |
|---|
| Who will consult me? | Dr. Hwang, in person |
| Who will perform the treatment? | The same doctor, Dr. Hwang |
| Is my plan decided before I arrive? | No — only after an in-person examination |
| Will the tip or product be opened in front of me? | Yes, with a certificate of authenticity for Thermage |
| Will I be awake during Thermage? | Yes, as the manufacturer recommends |
Prices are published openly on our price page with VAT included, so there is no pressure to decide on a package before you have met the doctor.
Who is Dr. Hwang In-sung?
Dr. Hwang In-sung is the representative director of The H Faceup Clinic, a graduate of Korea University College of Medicine, a Thermage FLX Key Doctor, and a Rejuran Key Doctor and Clinical Advisor. Dr. Hwang has personally performed 4,614 Thermage FLX treatments (as of September 2026) and administered more than 10,000cc of Rejuran by hand.
