In Seoul Gangnam-gu, at Xieouting, there is a private clinic known by locals as the “leading institution for skin care” – INEE Clinic. It became widely famous for being the preferred choice of many celebrities, with top artists such as IU and Lee Min-ho being regular clients. However, what truly enabled it to maintain its success for over a decade is the team of physicians led by Director Kim Min-seung, as well as the “Thermal Hyperunion Anti-aging” treatment system that has been refined over the years. In 2026, INEE Clinic remains one of the most frequently searched for Dermatology clinics in the Chinese medical aesthetics community in Cheongdam.

Dean Kim Min-seung: The “tailored” concept of anti-aging treatments
President Kim Min-seung possesses over 15 years of clinical experience in anti-aging treatments for the skin and has served as the official anti-aging consultant for the Miss South Korea beauty pageant. What is most highly regarded in the industry is not a particular technique, but rather his core philosophy: “Following trends is not as important as finding what suits you best; treatment should be tailored to your individual skin condition.”
In Director Jin’s treatment room, you will never be presented with a fixed “set menu.” After conducting a thorough consultation, he will tailor a truly personalized treatment plan based on each client’s skin thickness, degree of aging, and sensitivity. It is said that the director himself personally tests all the equipment before recommending them to clients, ensuring their safety and reliability.
This cautious approach has resulted in astonishing return rates—Annie’s reputation, which has remained intact over the years, is precisely built on this group of loyal customers who only schedule appointments with her on weekends.
Core feature: Thermotherapy combined with advanced anti-aging treatments
The “Thermal Hypercombination” treatment is Seoul I INEE’s signature therapy and also one of the most highly discussed anti-aging methods in the Chinese medical aesthetics community in 2026. The so-called “Thermal Hypercombination” refers to the combined use of Thermage (radiofrequency skin tightening) and HIFU/ultrasonic knife.
Why form a partnership?
Both Thermage and ultrasound lifting procedures have their own advantages:
- Thermage: Utilizes monopolar radiofrequency technology to act on the skin from the surface layer to the dermis, tightening the skin and reducing fine lines, with a focus on “skin tightening”.
- Ultrasound lifting (HIFU): Focused ultrasonic energy is applied to the SMAS fascial layer, physically lifting sagging tissues, with a focus on the “lifting” effect.
When combined, these two methods form a complete “lifting, tightening, and regeneration” cycle that extends from the fascia layer to the dermis, resulting in far superior outcomes than treatment alone. What sets Director Jin apart is his approach of first using ultrasound to establish a new supportive framework, followed by Thermage to reinforce the tightening effects. The sequence and proportions of these treatments are carefully tailored according to the thickness of each client’s skin.
Suitable for: People over 30 years old with moderate to severe facial sagging, deepened Nasolabial Fold Correction, and droop
ing eyelids.
Effect duration: 18 to 24 months.
R
eference price: The anti-aging package (ultrasonic lifting + Thermage + moisturizing care) originally costs 9.8 million Korean won; after the discount, it is approximately 7.7 million Korean won (equivalent to about 41,000 RMB).
Introduction to Popular Services
US version of HIFU | SMAS fascial lifting
INEE’s ultrasound Lifting treatment uses genuine American-made equipment. The probes are disposable, and the energy settings are carefully verified by the clinic director to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment. Director Kim is particularly skilled in operating American-made ultrasound devices, enabling her to apply precise amounts of energy to areas such as the cheeks, eyelids, and neck, resulting in natural and long-lasting Lifting effects.
Features: Cold anesthesia technology reduces pain; the probes are disposable, ensuring safety and hygiene.
Suitable for: Sagging of the lower face, loose eyelids, and neck wrinkles
.
Results: The effects become apparent gradually 1 to 3 months after the procedure and last for 1.5 to 2 years.
REJURAN Black Box Hydrating Treatment | Basal Cell Regeneration
Lizhulan Black Box uses PDRN polynucleotides as its core component; these substances are directly injected into the dermis to repair cellular DNA, stimulate collagen regeneration, and increase the thickness of the skin. At Aini, the Black Box therapy is often used as a “preparatory step” before thermal hypertherapy, ensuring that the skin is in an optimal condition to receive energy-based treatments, thereby doubling their effectiveness.
Reference price: Starting from 750,000 Korean won (4 centum cores, approximately equivalent to 3,975 RMB)
Basic Hyaluronic Acid Injection (2 centum cores) | Daily Hydration
Hyaluronic acid glow injection is one of the most popular treatments among Annie’s regular customers. A large amount of Filler is injected into the superficial dermis, and the effects are immediate: the skin instantly becomes moist and plump, Pores shrink, and the skin tone brightens. Director Jin’s injection technique is extremely delicate, and “no obvious injection marks after the procedure” is a feature that many customers repeatedly mention as a positive aspect of this treatment.
Reference price: Starting from 800,000 Korean won (2 centum cores, approximately equivalent to 4,240 RMB)
Potenza radiofrequency therapy | Shrinking Pores + Tightening the skin
Potenza uses microneedling to penetrate the skin while simultaneously releasing radiofrequency energy, which targets the dermis layer precisely. Compared to conventional radiofrequency treatments, Potenza is particularly effective in reducing enlarged Pores, mild acne scars, and rough skin, making it an ideal “skin improvement” option for young people aged 20 to 35.
Suitable for: People with enlarged Pores, oily skin, or early signs of f
ine lines
Effect duration: 3 to 6 months. It is recommended to use it once every quarter.
