Depth instead of volume
Each clinic receives a detailed profile presented in the same format. A focused selection makes meaningful comparison easier than searching through hundreds of limited listings.
For clinics
List your clinic on SHEA
SHEA begins with 10 clinics in each region so visitors can compare a manageable selection and every listing can receive proper attention. Here is what listing costs, what information SHEA requires and how clinics are selected.
From ₩100,000
Starting monthly listing fee. Fees vary by region but remain the same for every clinic within the same region.
0%
Commission taken from bookings or treatments
10

60
Initial clinic capacity across the 6 Seoul regions
Why begin with 10
Small on purpose
SHEA may add places gradually if visitor demand becomes greater than the selected clinics can reasonably serve or if a wider range of treatments is needed. Expansion will respond to visitor needs rather than a desire to sell more listings.
10
Visible within a limited selection
Each selected clinic receives a detailed profile within a deliberately limited regional group. No clinic can purchase a higher position, and additional places will be introduced only when visitor needs justify them.
What the process requires
Detailed listings take time and cooperation
01
Each listing is built as a complete clinic profile
Treatments, price ranges, doctors, languages, equipment, clinic policies, accessibility and directions are organized into one detailed profile. SHEA also films the clinic and the route from public transport. Because every listing is prepared by hand, completing it properly takes time.
02
Share complete and accurate information
Provide as much relevant and current information as possible, along with supporting material when requested. SHEA does not sell better placement or promote one listed clinic above another. The detail and usefulness of each clinic's own information help visitors understand what makes it different.
What the profile requires
What goes into a SHEA clinic profile?
SHEA presents every clinic through the same detailed structure. Much of this information is difficult for international visitors to find together in one place.
Doctor credentials, experience and specialty
Documents board certification and relevant experience separately for each doctor, where applicable.
Who performs each type of procedure
Explains whether care is provided by a doctor or another trained member of staff.
Specific equipment listed by brand and model
Shows which equipment is used and the treatments for which it is used.
Price ranges for every treatment listed on SHEA
Shows visitors the expected minimum and maximum price before they contact the clinic.
Language ability and consultation availability
Lists the languages spoken by each doctor and whether consultation is available directly or with an interpreter.
Experience treating different skin tones
Each claimed skin tone must be supported by at least 5 before and after examples. SHEA reviews these privately and does not publish them.
Treatment and comfort information
Includes the available treatments, consultation process, numbing options and other practical care details.
Hours, appointments and clinic policies
Includes reservations, waiting periods, payment methods, deposits, cancellations and accessibility.
Permission for SHEA to film the clinic
SHEA records the clinic walkthrough so visitors can see the space before arriving.
Location and route information
SHEA records the route from public transport to the clinic entrance and publishes practical walking directions.
Fees and rules
The mechanics, plainly
How listing fees, important changes and departures are handled.
Pricing
Starting price
Monthly listing fees start at ₩100,000. Fees vary by region, but every clinic within the same region pays the same current rate.
If the price changes
SHEA will provide notice before a new rate takes effect. After the effective date, new and existing clinics within that region will pay the same current rate.
No commission
SHEA takes no commission from bookings or treatments. The clinic keeps the treatment fees it receives directly from its patients.
Your listing
Initial setup
There is no separate setup fee for creating the original clinic profile. The applicable monthly listing fee begins when the listing becomes active.
Ending your listing
A clinic may end its listing at any time by asking its authorized SHEA contact to notify us. Any final payment obligations will follow the listing agreement.
If the clinic contact changes
SHEA must be introduced to the replacement contact and receive any necessary updates. The listing may be paused until SHEA completes that review.
Changes and relocation
Moving within the same region
Remaining in the same region does not guarantee that the listing will continue. SHEA will reassess the new location, including transport access, walking distance, accessibility, interior and overall suitability for international visitors.
If the move is approved
SHEA must update the address, directions, photographs and videos before the revised listing is complete. A relocation update fee may apply and will be confirmed before the work begins.
Moving to another region
The clinic must apply for the new region. If no place is available, it may join the applicant waiting list. Waiting does not guarantee future selection.
Other important changes
Changes involving the interior, ownership, management, doctors, treatments, equipment, language support or other important parts of the clinic must be reported. SHEA may update, pause or end the listing after reviewing the change.
The 2027 reinvestment plan
Clinic listing revenue will be reinvested in building SHEA
During 2027, SHEA intends to reinvest the revenue received from clinic listing fees into launching, operating and promoting the directory rather than distributing it as owner profit. This may include Google and Instagram advertising, content production, selected partnerships, clinic visits, filming, website systems and the people needed to carry out that work. The purpose is to build a useful directory and introduce it to international visitors. This commitment does not guarantee a particular number of views, inquiries or patients for any clinic.
How it works
From application to an active listing
1
Apply directly
An authorized representative of the clinic contacts SHEA directly. Applications submitted on behalf of a clinic by an unrelated third party are not accepted.
2
Interview and review
SHEA interviews the clinic and reviews its treatments, staff, communication, facilities and willingness to provide the information required for a complete profile.
3
Selection and profile creation
SHEA compares applicants before selecting the initial clinics for each region. Selected clinics complete the agreement, provide the required information and allow SHEA to visit and film the location. Selection is not based on who applied first.
4
Activation and ongoing review
The monthly fee begins when the completed listing becomes active. Clinics must report important changes and cooperate with future updates. Every listing remains subject to SHEA's current standards and continued review.
A SHEA listing requires a clinic to share more than most clinics currently make public. The clinics that join will be those willing to let international visitors see the details before making a decision, because they believe clearer information builds stronger trust.
