How to Find a Good Skin Clinic in Korea

We all know that South Korea is pretty big on skin care. Asides from the overflow of cheap yet high quality cosmetic products, affordable dermatology procedures are another reason behind flawless Korean skin, and another excuse for tourists to come to Seoul. If you take a close look around, you might notice a skin clinic pretty much around every corner. However, don't be fooled because they are not all the same! If you can read basic Korean (or even if you can't), here is one very basic but important factor you should keep in mind to find a good skin clinic with doctors you can trust:

Check whether or not the doctor is a certified dermatology specialist. 

You will need basic Hangul reading skills for this, but make sure that the sign of the clinic mentions '피부과전문의' or '의원,' which indicates that the doctor is a board-certified specialist. If the sign just says '클리닉' or '진료과목,' this means that the doctor offers skin treatment but is not a specialist in that field.


If you can read Korean, another helpful website to check out is akd2.or.kr, the official page of the Association of Korean Dermatologists. It offers information on how to determine whether a skin clinic is legitimate, and even helps you find specialists in your area.

So that's pretty much it! Once you've found a specialist, the next step would be to determine whether or not the dermatologist has enough years of clinical experiment to deliver the diagnosis and results that you need. Good luck (or just come to Renewme Skin Clinic instead of saving yourself the trouble of searching, *wink)!

Mini-Liposuction Blog Post by Dr. Ko Na Young

Here is a blog post written by Hwagok branch head dermatologist Dr. Ko Na Young. The original post, written in Korean, can be read by clicking here . Ever since I was young, I was always concerned about the extra fat in my thighs. My calves were not so bad after I started to work out in my twenties. My thighs, on the other hand, would not budge no matter how hard I exercised. All of the clothes I bought had to fit my thighs more than any other area, and I couldn't wear pencil skirts because they would feel so uncomfortably tight, so I had to stick to flared skirts. Then, about 5-6 years ago, I extracted some fat from my thighs for a fat grafting procedure. Since then I have seen some size reduction that has been maintained until now. I didn't remove a tremendous amount of fat like traditional liposuction (over 2000 cc) - it was just about 150-200 cc from both thighs, but it was still very effective in reducing the size of my thighs. Areas such as the thighs and upper arms...
