What is CHANG Dermatology known for?
CHANG Dermatology presents itself as a “well-aging” dermatology clinic. On its own pages the clinic lists five treatment principles: individual treatment based on precise diagnosis, treatment grounded in dermatologic science, safety first, natural results that are not exaggerated, and the use of approved genuine equipment, consumables and medicines. These are statements by the clinic, and MTK reports them as the clinic’s own positioning rather than as independently verified outcomes.
In practice the menu is broad. The clinic’s website groups its services into lifting, beauty injections, skin boosters, laser, acne and scar care, medical skin care, and hair or other skin conditions. The clinic describes its space as 110 square meters. The lifting section is the most developed: the clinic describes a stepwise “C-System” approach that combines devices, threads and injectables according to whether volume, sagging, wrinkles or elasticity is the main concern.
Who is the Chief Director of CHANG Dermatology?
Dr. Kim Chang-sik is the Chief Director, and the clinic’s profile lists him as a dermatologist with training at Konkuk University College of Medicine, a dermatology residency at Samsung Medical Center and Kangbuk Samsung Hospital, and an international fellowship in dermatology at Harvard Medical School. His teaching roles, lecture activity and lifting focus are covered in a separate profile: Dr. Kim Chang-sik, thread lifting and Thermage.
The clinic also has other physicians. This guide introduces only the Chief Director, and MTK has not verified individual qualifications beyond the clinic’s own statements.
What lifting treatments does CHANG Dermatology offer?
Lifting is the clinic’s most visible category. The table shows the main options the clinic lists and what each is, in general terms. Treatment area, energy level or shot count and any combination are set after consultation.
| Treatment | Category | Planning point |
|---|---|---|
| Ultherapy PRIME | Microfocused ultrasound lifting | The clinic describes it as acting on deeper layers for sagging along the jawline and forehead. |
| Thermage FLX | Monopolar radiofrequency tightening | The clinic describes it as improving elasticity from the surface layers, with fine lines and texture in mind. |
| TOC lifting | Absorbable-thread lifting | The clinic states that thread-lift results depend heavily on who performs the procedure and how. |
| Density, Onda, Potenza, DermaFit 4LS, Eve Synergy | Other devices on the clinic’s menu | Listed by the clinic as separate options; ask which one fits your concern. |
| All Layer Boost Up | Combination elasticity program | The clinic describes combining radiofrequency, ultrasound, infrared and laser devices. |
These treatments are not interchangeable. Independent literature supports microfocused ultrasound and monopolar radiofrequency for selected skin-tightening goals, with pain and temporary swelling or redness commonly reported, while outcomes vary by patient and settings (see references 1 and 2). Systematic reviews of thread lifting describe a different risk profile, including swelling and contour irregularities, which is why technique and patient selection matter (reference 3).
Which injectables and skin boosters does CHANG Dermatology list?
The clinic’s injectable menu covers several different purposes, and “injectable” should not be read as one uniform procedure.
| Group | Items the clinic lists | What to clarify at consultation |
|---|---|---|
| Fillers | Well-aging filler | Product, volume, injection depth and technique. The clinic states a preference for cannula use where appropriate. |
| Neuromodulators | Botox, Dermotoxin | Treatment areas, dose and how natural movement is preserved. |
| Collagen-stimulating injectables | Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid), Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite), Juvelook, UltraCol | Goal, number of sessions and expected timeline of change. |
| Skin boosters | Rejuran HB Plus, Hilo Wave, exosome program, Potenbooster, Cell Skin Booster | Skin goal, product and number of sessions. |
| Contouring injections | Fat-dissolving injection for submental fat | Suitability, number of sessions and spacing. The clinic describes a typical course of two to four sessions about four weeks apart. |
Independent reviews of hyaluronic acid fillers report that most adverse events are short-lived injection-site reactions, while severe events are rare but need prompt treatment (reference 4). Reviews of collagen-stimulating injectables report improvement in elasticity and volume, with durability that differs between products (reference 5). Neither supports a guarantee for any individual result.
What else does CHANG Dermatology treat?
Beyond lifting and injectables, the clinic lists laser treatment for pigmentation, redness and visible vessels, dark circles, hair removal and tattoo removal. It also lists acne and scar care, including a gold-particle acne treatment and mild photodynamic therapy, plus medical skin care programs, treatment of burns, excessive sweating and other skin conditions, and hair-loss care. The clinic’s English pages also list intravenous “well-aging” vitamin programs.
Which concern matches which part of the CHANG Dermatology menu?
| If your main concern is… | Menu area the clinic lists | Question to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Sagging jawline or loose skin | Ultherapy PRIME, Thermage FLX, TOC lifting | Is a device, a thread or a combination suited to my anatomy? |
| Lost volume or deep lines | Well-aging filler, Sculptra, Radiesse | Which product and how much, and in how many sessions? |
| Dull or uneven skin quality | Skin boosters, exosome program, medical skin care | What is the aim of each session and how many are planned? |
| Pigmentation, redness or vessels | Laser care | Which laser, and what aftercare is needed? |
| Acne or acne scars | Acne and scar clinic | Is this active acne, marks or scar tissue? |
| Thinning hair | Hair-loss care | What is the cause, and what is the realistic goal? |
How much do treatments cost at CHANG Dermatology?
MTK could not verify a published aesthetic fee schedule for CHANG Dermatology. The clinic’s Korean-language non-covered fee notice that MTK reviewed lists diagnostic ultrasound fees only, and the clinic’s treatment pages do not show prices. For that reason this guide does not print a price table, and it does not estimate amounts.
Price for lifting and injectable treatment typically depends on the device or product, the number of shots, units or vials, the treatment area, the number of sessions and whether treatments are combined. When requesting a quote, ask what is included, whether value-added tax is included, whether the price covers aftercare visits, and whether any promotional price applies. Promotional offers are not used as reference prices in MTK articles because they change. International patients can request a written quote through the CHANG Dermatology page on MTK.
Are consultations at CHANG Dermatology led by a dermatologist?
MTK’s clinic description states that treatment is personalized through direct consultation with a dermatologist and that three specialists perform procedures. The clinic’s website also publishes a monthly calendar showing which of its physicians are in clinic on which days. That means the doctor who sees you depends on your date. If you want the Chief Director, Dr. Kim Chang-sik, state this when requesting the appointment so that the date can be matched.
