Inside the clinic

One floor, laid out as private rooms

Nucellin occupies a single floor in Hannam-dong. The clinic describes its treatment rooms as “private one-person suites reminiscent of a luxury spa,” and its own hospital tour names four areas: reception desk, waiting room, procedure room and hospital room. These are photographs of the clinic, supplied to Himedi in August 2026.

The programs

Three programs, published in English

These are the three treatment programs Nucellin publishes on its English site, described in the clinic’s own terms. Tell Himedi which one interests you and we will come back to you with what it costs for your case.

Regenerative Joint & Spine Therapy

The clinic’s core orthopedic program: non-surgical treatment aimed, in its words, at “restoring function and preventing recurrence.”

What the clinic lists
  • PRP — platelet-rich plasma drawn and centrifuged from the patient’s own blood
  • PDRN injection using Italian Placentex, a purified salmon DNA extract
  • Conjuran, a polynucleotide (PN) joint injection
  • Focused and radial shockwave on a Swiss STORZ Medical Ultra SD1
  • QMR (quantum molecular resonance) therapy with manual therapy

Hyperbaric Oxygen & Extracorporeal Photonic Therapy

Two treatments the clinic pairs with its regenerative work, aimed at recovery, circulation and what it calls cellular activation.

What the clinic lists
  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in an IBEX Light 3 chamber at 2–3 ATA
  • Extracorporeal photonic therapy — blood circulated outside the body and exposed to light energy
  • Offered before and after regenerative procedures, which is how the clinic positions it

Body Silhouette

A non-surgical thread lifting procedure for body contour, which the clinic groups under the same regenerative philosophy.

What the clinic lists
  • Absorbable threads inserted into muscles and ligaments
  • About 30 minutes for the procedure; about two hours in total with anesthesia and aftercare
  • Threads dissolve over roughly one year, which the clinic says stimulates collagen production
How the clinic works

What Nucellin says it does differently

Four things the clinic states about its own method. All of these are Nucellin’s claims about its practice, quoted or paraphrased from its English site — not Himedi’s assessment, and not clinical evidence.

Doctor-led

The chief director runs the diagnosis himself

Nucellin states that Dr Hee-Jun Kim personally oversees consultation, diagnosis, treatment planning and the key regenerative procedures, marks the pain points himself, and that therapists then carry out the treatment against that marking.

“This doctor-led system — combining specialist judgement, skilled therapeutic execution and advanced global-standard technology — forms the foundation of Nucellin’s premium, non-surgical regenerative treatment approach.”

Non-surgical by design

Surgical training, used to avoid surgery

The clinic frames its own positioning as precision non-surgical care shaped by surgical expertise — anatomy and biomechanics applied without incisions. Its recurring line across every program page is “Healthier, for longer — without surgery.”

“The Art of Recovery — Not Surgery.”

Two shockwave modes

Focused and radial, on the same device

Nucellin runs both shockwave modes on the Swiss STORZ Medical Ultra SD1: focused shockwave for deep muscle layers, tendons and joints — the clinic names chronic pain, tendinitis, calcific tendinopathy and myofascial pain — and radial shockwave to relax broader muscle areas.

Cell-level therapy

QMR at 4–64 MHz, with manual therapy

The clinic uses Telea Medical’s QMR (quantum molecular resonance) technology from Italy, describing multi-frequency resonance across 4–64 MHz applied alongside hands-on manual therapy in the same session. It names neck and shoulder, lower back and pelvis, knee and ankle, and elbow and wrist as the areas treated.

Published prices

The clinic’s non-covered fee schedule

Korean clinics publish a fee schedule for the services they provide outside national insurance. This is Nucellin’s, reproduced in Korean won exactly as published — individual procedures and materials, priced line by line. A program combines several of these, so ask Himedi for the figure that applies to your treatment plan.

Reproduced from Nucellin’s published non-covered medical services table, read 27 August 2026. Prices are the clinic’s and are subject to change; Himedi has not converted them to US dollars, because the exchange rate on your treatment date is the one that will apply. Where the clinic publishes a range, both ends are shown; where it publishes a single figure with no ceiling, it is shown as “from”.

Planning the visit

Getting to Hannam-dong

Nucellin sits on Dokseodang-ro, on the fourth floor of the Smith & Wollensky steakhouse building — which is the landmark the clinic itself uses in its directions.

Address
4F, Nucellin Clinic, 71 Dokseodang-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea — same building as Smith & Wollensky Steakhouse.
From Incheon airport
Airport limousine bus 6010 to the Hannam-dong stop. The clinic states it is directly in front of that stop, in the same building.
By car
From Hannam Five-way Intersection, take Dokseodang-ro toward Hannam The Hill and UN Village for about 50 metres; the building is on the left.
Valet parking
Professional Valet Service beside the Smith & Wollensky building, in the alley between Olive Young and CheongKwanJang. Say you are visiting Nucellin Hannam. The clinic covers the valet fee for patients who receive treatment — not for consultation-only visits.
Clinic contact
Main line 02-749-8880 · Fax 02-749-8890. Book through Himedi rather than calling the clinic directly.

This is Himedi material about a partner clinic. It is not published by Nucellin and is not the clinic’s own page. Himedi coordinates your visit; care is delivered by Nucellin Hannam, Seoul.

Every treatment description, credential, device name, address and price on this page comes from Nucellin’s own website (nucellin.com and en.nucellin.com) and its Naver Place listing, read 27 August 2026, or from photographs the clinic supplied to Himedi in August 2026. Statements about what a treatment does are the clinic’s own and are presented as such; Himedi makes no independent claim about their effect. Prices are the clinic’s published non-covered fees and are subject to change.
