Dean Zheng Dongmin – Expert in Photodynamic Anti-aging Treatments and Thread Lift Lifting Procedures
Director Zheng is a specialist in Dermatology from South Korea, with expertise in photothermal anti-aging treatments using devices such as Thermage FLX, Ultraformer III, and Titanium Lifting. His greatest strength lies in the precise pre-operative quantitative assessment: he first uses a skin analysis instrument to create a 3D model of the patient’s skin, and then adjusts the treatment parameters according to the individual’s specific skin condition. This ensures that every dose of energy is precisely targeted at the treatment area, preventing burns caused by excessive energy or reduced effectiveness due to insufficient energy.
In the field of online sculpting, Director Zheng is expert in the “Ota P Thread Lifting technique.” This method uses fine threads instead of large quantities of sutures to achieve a natural and long-lasting Lifting effect, with no noticeable bruising after the procedure.
President Kim Sang-woo – Expert in injectable aesthetics and fat regeneration treatments
Director Kim is an expert in Korean injectable treatments such as JUVELOOK, Rejuran, and SWOMAN Sculptra, and enjoys an excellent reputation in the Seoul cosmetic surgery community. His approach to treatment is based on the concept of “subtractive aesthetics” – only performing necessary fillings and avoiding excessive injections to ensure natural results without altering the facial structure. In addition, he has extensive clinical experience in the use of Asce+ Exosomes for post-treatment recovery and the reconstruction of sensitive skin.
In-depth analysis of the five most popular services offered by ShineBom
1. Thermage FLX – The flagship of anti-aging and tightening treatments
Thermage is the treatment service that receives the most inquiries from customers at ShineBom. We use the original, genuine fifth-generation Thermage FLX equipment to apply monopolar radiofrequency waves to the Collagen in the dermis, thereby stimulating the production of new Collagen and tightening loose tissues. During the treatment process, the AccuREP technology is used to automatically adjust the energy level, ensuring both safety and effectiveness.
Suitable for: People with loose facial contours, deep Nasolabial Fold Correction, blurred jawlines, or numerous fine lines around the e
yes.
Number of treatments: Usually, 1 treatment is sufficient to see results, which last for 1–1.5 years.
Postoperative recove
ry: There may be mild redness after the procedure, but it will subside within 24 hours, and there is no need for any downtime.
2. JUVELOOK Hyaluronic Acid Injection – The Next Generation of “Collagen Hyaluronic Acid Treatments”
JUVELOOK is the latest generation of hyaluronic acid glow injection product in South Korea. Different from traditional pure Filler injections, it also contains PDLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) microspheres, which can continuously stimulate collagen growth in the deeper dermis for a period of 6 to 12 months. This product offers both immediate moisturization effects and long-lasting firming results, earning it the nickname “the injectable version of Thermage”.
Main specifications:
- JUVELOOK Hyaluronic Acid Injection 5 centum core: Approximately 550,000 Korean won (≈ NT$13,200)
- For JUVELOOK with an injection volume of 8 cc: approximately 800,000 Korean won (≈ NT$19,200)
3. DongAn Center Introduction Sculptra – A Long-Lasting Collagen Regeneration Solution
After the injection of SWOMAN Sculptra / Polylactic Acid, a scaffold is formed under the skin, which activates the body’s own Collagen and promotes its excessive production. The effects are more lasting than those of Filler, lasting for 2 to 3 years. Director Kim Sang-woo uses the “precise layered injection technique” to ensure even distribution of the product and prevent the formation of lumps.
Treatment recommendations: Typically, 2–3 sessions are required, with an interval of
4–6 weeks between each session.
Reference fee: 10 cc costs approximately 1 million Korean won (≈ NT$24,000).
4. Potenza – Improves Pores and Acne Scars
Using the Israeli Potenza Potenza RF platform, ultra-fine insulated and gold-plated needles are inserted into the dermis to deliver targeted RF energy, precisely stimulating collagen production. At the same time, this treatment helps to reduce Pores, fade acne scars and red marks. The procedure is highly precise and requires a short recovery period after treatment.
Suitable for: people with enlarged Pores, acne scars, rough skin,
or oily skin
Reference price: 280,000 – 550,000 Korean won (depending on the specifications, approximately NT$6,700 – 13,200)
5. Rejuran Skin-Nourishing Needle – Restores the barrier function of sensitive skin
Rejuran is a PDRN (polynucleotide) preparation developed in South Korea. It can effectively repair damaged DNA and rebuild the skin barrier, making it particularly suitable for use in cases where the skin barrier has been compromised after long-term laser treatments, for those suffering from rosacea, or for individuals with chronically sensitive skin. The Healer version contains a higher concentration of PDRN, resulting in more pronounced effects.
Main specifications:
- Rejuran PN 2 centum core: approximately 400,000 Korean won (≈ NT$9,600)
- Rejuran PN 4 centum core: approximately 700,000 Korean won (≈ NT$16,800)
- Rejuran HB 1 centum core: approximately 260,000 Korean won (≈ NT$6,200)
- 1 centum core of Rejuran for the eyes: approximately 240,000 Korean won (≈ NT$5,760)

Pre-departure checklist
- 2 weeks before the procedure: Stop taking supplements that may cause bleeding, such as aspirin, fish oil, and vitamin E.
- 1 week before the procedure: Avoid high-intensity laser treatments or exfoliation procedures.
- On the day of the procedure: Come to the clinic without makeup (if facial injections are required); bring your passport and your mobile phone (with a spare battery).
- After the procedure: Avoid strenuous exercise for 12 hours after the injection; after Thermage treatment, strictly protect yourself from sunlight and use medical repair masks.

Q&A: Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Does ShineBom accept walk-in appointments?
It is recommended to make an appointment 3 to 7 days in advance, especially on weekends and holidays, as the schedules of the chief physicians are often full. If you arrive at the clinic without an appointment, you may have to wait for a long time, and it is not guaranteed that you will be seen by a chief physician.
Q2: Can I take a flight back to Taiwan immediately after undergoing Thermage treatment?
Sure. Thermage does not require any downtime; you can resume your normal activities on the same day after the procedure. It is recommended to wear a mask and protect yourself from the sun. However, the dry environment associated with long-distance flights may exacerbate the post-procedure tightness feeling; therefore, it is advisable to drink plenty of water and carry a moisturizing spray with you.
Q3: What is the difference between JUVELOOK and traditional hyaluronic acid injections?
The main component of traditional hyaluronic acid injections is Filler, which provides excellent moisturizing effects but has a relatively short duration of action (about 1–3 months). JUVELOOK contains PDLLA microspheres, which continuously stimulate collagen production in the dermis, resulting in longer-lasting effects (6–12 months). It also offers both filling and tightening benefits, making it ideal for those who desire to achieve both “hyaluronic acid hydration” and “anti-aging” results in one step.
Q4: Which director is more suitable for me, Kim Myung-woo or Zheng Dongmin?
Simple principle: If you want to undergo treatments with photoelectric devices such as Thermage or Medlite, or with thread lifting procedures, choose Director Zheng Dongmin; if you prefer injections like JUVELOOK, DongAn Center Introduction needles, or Rejuran, choose Director Kim Sang-woo. If you have both types of needs, you can request that the clinic arrange a joint consultation with both directors during your initial consultation.
Q5: Is the price of SWOMAN more expensive than that in Gangnam?
Located in Songpa District, ShineBom has overall lower rental costs compared to areas such as Cheongdam-dong or the core areas of Gangnam. As a result, the prices for some treatments (such as Thermage and Potenza) at ShineBom are approximately 10–20% lower than those at mainstream clinics in Gangnam, making it more cost-effective.
Itinerary suggestion: A perfect day with ShineBom
In Songpa District, there is not only ShineBom, but also a wealth of tourist attractions in the surrounding area. It is recommended to combine medical aesthetics with tourism.
- Morning: Arrive at ShineBom Clinic (around 09:30), and complete the consultation and treatment (usually taking 1.5 to 2 hours).
- Lunch: Walk to the vicinity of Seokchon Lake and enjoy light meals at the restaurant on the 1st floor of Lotte Tower or at a café by the lake.
- In the afternoon: Visit Shicun Lake to enjoy the scenery, shop at Lotte World Mall, or take a stroll around Mengcun Earth City.
- In the evening: Take the subway back to Myeongdong or Hongdae and enjoy a dinner of fried chicken and grilled wine.
In conclusion: Is ShineBom right for you?
Based on the above information, ShineBom Dermatology is particularly suitable for the following groups of people:
- Those with a moderate budget who seek good value for money and are unwilling to pay extra for the high rent in Gangnam areas
- Those who wish to undergo Korean-style injection treatments such as JUVELOOK/Rejuran/DongAn Center Introduction and would like to be examined personally by the clinic director
- Those who have a need for Thermage treatment and wish to receive a detailed assessment and a personalized treatment plan before the procedure.
- Those who are concerned about language barriers and prefer to communicate in Chinese throughout the process, and who want transparent reservations without any hidden fees.
If you are also considering going to South Korea for medical beauty treatments, you might want to add ShineBom to your list of options to consider. It is recommended that you first consult and compare prices through the BeautsGO platform before making a decision, in order to avoid any potential pitfalls.
