Overview

Healing Paper operates the GangnamUnni cosmetic-medical information platform, providing quantified ratings and real user reviews for more than 1,700 plastic surgery and dermatology clinics nationwide. Users can search personalized procedure information on mobile and request consultations with a single click. Over the past five years, doctors on the app have provided about 1.7 million cosmetic estimates and the platform has connected over 600,000 mobile consultations. The service has accumulated 2 million registered users, with roughly one in ten monthly active users located overseas and overseas usage reportedly growing 200% month-over-month. A multilingual version launched in November surpassed the monthly consultation-request volume of Japan's top local cosmetic-medical service within three months. Healing Paper plans to accelerate global patient acquisition while expanding its hospital network and improving user experience, and recently closed a Series B round raising ₩18.5 billion. 힐링페이퍼 operates the medical-beauty app Gangnam Unni, a platform where about 1,200 clinics (plastic surgery, hair transplant, liposuction) are listed for price comparison and live video consultations. The company was founded by former doctors and positions itself to reduce information asymmetry in the medical beauty sector. It has just secured a 45억원 investment to support growth. Management says the proceeds will be used for talent acquisition, acquisition of hospital software businesses, and overseas expansion. An investor from Premier Partners characterized the team’s clinical background and execution capability as central to building a new medical-beauty ecosystem.
