A dermatology clinic in Jongno

Obliv Clinic Seoul Origin is in Jongno-gu, the historic centre of Seoul, on Cheonggyecheon-ro — within walking distance of palaces, Insadong and Myeongdong, and about 5 minutes from several subway stations.

In the heart of Jongno

Jongno is Seoul's old downtown: the district of royal palaces, traditional streets, the Cheonggyecheon Stream and the busy main road of Jongno itself. It is also where Obliv Clinic Seoul Origin is based. Our address is Pagoda Tower, 93 Cheonggyecheon-ro, Jongno-gu — between Jongno to the north and Euljiro and Myeongdong to the south.

The building brings several clinics together: the Skin & Body Clinic on the first and second floors, the Scalp Clinic on the third, the Footcare & Nail Clinic on the fifth, and BodyLab rehabilitation medicine in the basement.

How to get here

Jongno is well served by the subway, and the clinic is about 5 minutes on foot from several stations:

  • Jonggak (Line 1)
  • Jongno 3-ga (Lines 1, 3 and 5)
  • Euljiro 1-ga (Line 2)
  • Euljiro 3-ga (Lines 2 and 3)

By bus, the Jongno 2-ga · Samilgyo stop is about a minute from the building, with routes including 5000, 5005, G8110, 470, 501, 701, 741 and N37. From Gimpo Airport you can take Line 5 direct to Jongno 3-ga. From Incheon Airport, take AREX to Seoul Station and then Line 1 two stops to Jonggak. Our Subway Guide has more detail.

Why visitors in Jongno choose Obliv

Jongno attracts travellers who appreciate considered, unhurried experiences — and we try to bring the same care to skin treatment. A director sees you from your first consultation, and every plan follows our 8-layer Skin Architecture approach:

  • Diagnose the layer. Is the concern in the epidermis, the dermis, the fat layer, the fascia or deeper? Pigment, fine lines and sagging each start in different places.
  • Decide the depth, then the device. For example, HIFU such as Ultherapy PRIME focuses ultrasound at set depths, while RF such as Thermage heats the dermis more evenly.
  • Protect the barrier. Ceramides and hyaluronic acid before, barrier protection after, plus prescribed pH-5.5-matched home care.
  • Keep a record. Every treatment is logged in your Skin Library, helpful if you return to Seoul.

Mark-Vu skin analysis can also help map pigment, pores, wrinkles, redness and oil–moisture balance at consultation.

Popular treatments for visitors

  • Lifting and contour: HIFU and RF lifting, Onda for fullness under the chin, and jawline Botox .
  • Collagen and regeneration: Rejuran , skin boosters and collagen stimulators, with results that build over months.
  • Tone and texture: PICOALEX , Pico Toning and Potenza .
  • Scalp and body: doctor-led scalp assessment on 3F and body contouring with Body Onda.

Planning around sightseeing

Treatments with little downtime fit easily between palace visits and dinners. After injectables, avoid touching the area for 4–6 hours and skip the sauna, alcohol and strenuous exercise that day. After laser, use SPF50+ and a hat when walking outdoors. The skin, body and scalp clinics are open Monday to Friday 10:00–21:00 and weekends 10:00–19:00. For costs, ask us on WhatsApp for a personalised quote.

Several clinics under one roof

One advantage of a Jongno base is that skin, scalp, foot and body care are all in the same building, so visitors can sometimes address more than one concern on a single trip. How this can work in practice:

  • Start with one consultation. Tell the team everything you would like to discuss. The director looks at your skin first and can suggest whether a scalp, footcare or BodyLab assessment makes sense as well.
  • Each area is assessed separately. The Scalp Clinic on 3F, the Footcare & Nail Clinic on 5F and BodyLab rehabilitation medicine on B1 each begin with their own doctor-led assessment, so recommendations are specific to that concern. See scalp care and footcare for an overview.
  • Check the hours for each floor. BodyLab is open weekdays and Saturday, and the Footcare & Nail Clinic opens from 09:30 on weekdays and Saturday, so weekend plans may need adjusting.
  • Don't try to do everything at once. The doctor may suggest spreading treatments across your stay so each one has time to settle.
