RejuranSVIPTraining and credentials of Dr. Jongkeun Song
In Korea, the plastic surgery specialist title follows a residency in a teaching hospital and a national specialist examination, and the Ministry of Health and Welfare grants it. The title therefore records a specific training path, separate from the general medical license every doctor holds.
Dr. Song took the full plastic surgery path through two hospitals of The Catholic University of Korea, then moved from trainee to teacher within the same system before founding the clinic.
Dr. Song's training path
| Stage | Where | What it involved |

Korean medical license no. 111776 is held in the name of Jongkeun Song, the same English spelling used on the clinic's government designation certificate.
Why a plastic surgeon handles scars and skin
Plastic and reconstructive surgery is the specialty that closes wounds, treats burns, revises scars and rebuilds facial structure. Scar tissue, skin tension and the way skin heals after an injury are daily subjects in that training. Lasers, radiofrequency devices and injections act on the same tissue, so the judgment about how deep to go, how much energy a scar can take and when to stop comes from that background.
The eight societies Dr. Song belongs to map onto those areas:
- Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons
- Korean Association of Plastic Surgeons
- AAPS, the Korean society for aesthetic plastic surgery
- ACFS, the Korean society for craniofacial surgery
- Korean Microsurgery Society
- Korean Hand Surgery Society
- Korean Wound Society
- Korean Burn Society
Wound, burn and microsurgery societies sit next to the aesthetic ones on that list, and that mix is behind the clinic's focus on scar types and how skin heals.
Roles with device and product makers
Dr. Song is listed as a global trainer for two energy-based devices: the Lumenis UltraPulse Alpha fractional CO2 laser and Alma titanium lifting.
Separately, Jeisys Medical appointed Dr. Song a DENSITY ALPHA TIP Ambassador, a title linked to the Alpha tip for its DENSITY radiofrequency device.
According to the clinic's records, Pixelab was the first plastic surgery clinic in Korea to introduce UltraPulse Alpha, Opus, Soprano Titanium, triLift and Alma Hybrid.
Product-maker recognitions given by the clinic include membership of Allergan's Juvederm and Botox Infinity Club, the Rejuran Healer SVIP grade from PharmaResearch, and Olidia Grand Master with S.O.S Lab membership. These titles come from manufacturers and describe a doctor's use of their products. They are not medical qualifications, and the specialist title above is the qualification.
How Dr. Song works with each patient
Pixelab Beauty Clinic has one doctor. Every treatment plan, from acne scar laser to a thread lift, is set by Dr. Song, including the device, the area and the energy settings. The surgical menu (liposuction by area, face liposuction, fat grafting, gynecomastia surgery and dimple creation) is performed by Dr. Song in person.
The clinic's approach is built on small, precise adjustments: one scar type, one depth, one area at a time. When a treatment does not suit your skin or your timing, for example during active acne inflammation or pregnancy, the plan says so.
Clinic credentials for international patients
Korea's Ministry of Justice designated Pixelab Beauty Clinic an outstanding foreign-patient attraction institution for 2025–2026. The clinic is also accredited under KAHF, Korea's evaluation program for hospitals that treat international patients. Interpreters on staff cover English, Japanese and Chinese, including traditional Chinese, and you can write to the clinic on WhatsApp before you travel.
