About Gangnam Meditour

Gangnam Meditour is an English-language editorial directory built for international patients planning aesthetic, regenerative, and medical-tourism trips to Korea. We index treatment categories (stem cell, ultherapy, MFU, thread, thermage), Seoul districts (Gangnam, Myeongdong, Incheon Airport), pricing references, visa and travel logistics, and aftercare workflows. Every page is written in English with global readers in mind — Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia, the United States, and the Gulf — and signposted to the specialised editorial archives we operate alongside this directory.

Who operates this directory

Gangnam Meditour is operated by HEIM GLOBAL, a Seoul-based medical-tourism facilitator registered with the Korea Health Industry Development Institute (KHIDI) under registration number A-2026-04-02-06873. Our business registration number is 405-04-54000, and our operations are subject to Article 56 (4) of the Medical Service Act covering foreign-patient attraction. Editorial decisions on this site are made by our internal editorial board with named contributing editors who also write for our specialised treatment archives.

How we index clinics

Clinics listed on Gangnam Meditour are sourced from public Korean Medical Association registry data, manufacturer authorised-provider lists for specific platforms (Ultherapy, Sofwave, Thermage FLX), and cross-checks against KHIDI-registered foreign-patient-attraction clinics. We exclude unverified contact details and reject any clinic that cannot be matched against a primary public source. Editorial coverage does not imply endorsement; some outbound links may be commercial referrals and are disclosed in our editorial policy and on the relevant pages.

Editorial team and contributing editors

Day-to-day editorial work is performed by an internal editorial board operating under the HEIM GLOBAL banner. Contributing editors with bylines on this site also write for our specialised treatment archives — including the stem-cell archive, the Ultherapy archive, the Sofwave and Thermage archives, the Myeongdong and Incheon Airport regional archives, and our Seoul- and Korea-wide editorial sites. Each contributing editor is profiled on their author page, with cross-references to the archive where they publish in greater depth.

Commercial disclosure

Gangnam Meditour is a commercial publication operated by a registered medical-tourism facilitator. Some outbound links — including WhatsApp coordinator links — are commercial referrals. Editorial inclusion is independent of commercial relationships, but readers should treat featured-clinic shortlists as informed editorial picks rather than ranked rankings. Where we publish a side-by-side comparison, we use named criteria documented in our editorial policy.

Frequently asked questions

Is Gangnam Meditour a clinic?

No. Gangnam Meditour is an English-language directory operated by HEIM GLOBAL, a KHIDI-registered medical-tourism facilitator. We do not provide medical services ourselves — we publish editorial coverage and connect international patients with named Korean clinics.

Do you charge international patients to use this site?

No. Reading the directory and contacting clinics is free for patients. HEIM GLOBAL operates as a registered facilitator under standard Korean medical-tourism regulation and may receive referral fees from clinics where commercial relationships exist; these are disclosed in our editorial policy.

Why is this site in English on a .kr domain?

The .kr top-level domain reflects that we are a Korea-based publisher. The site itself is written entirely in English for international patients planning trips to Korea. The domain choice reflects domain history, not target audience.
