Best Dermatologists in Seoul

Dermatology in Seoul is known for its mix of medical & cosmetic treatments — lasers, pigment correction, acne, anti-aging, etc. When choosing a dermatologist, check credentials (board certification), technology offered, English friendliness (if you’re a foreign patient), before-/after results, and aftercare. Below are clinic summaries and checklist tips.

Clinic Profiles

Ever Skin Clinic (Gangnam / Apgujeong)

  • Run by Dr. Ji-Eun Kim, a board-certified dermatologist with over a decade of experience.
  • Offers medical and cosmetic dermatology: acne, pigmentation, scar removal, laser toning, fillers & injectables.
  • English-speaking staff, comfortable environment, transparent consultation. Foreign patients report clear communication.

Great for you if you want modern laser options, pigment control, and someone who can explain things clearly in English.

Delight Skin Clinic (Gangnam)

  • Specializes in anti-aging procedures: skin boosters, lifting (non-surgical), botox/fillers.
  • The clinic emphasizes a warm, relaxing environment with personalized care.
  • Doctor(s) are board-certified and part of the small subgroup of dermatologists in Korea who do both medical and aesthetic treatments.

Great if you want treatments focused on rejuvenation, subtle lifting, and a clinic with patient comfort as priority.

SD Dermatology Clinic – Gangnam / Sinsa-dong

  • Offers both medical skin treatments and cosmetic/laser services: laser hair removal, laser tattoo removal, anti-aging, hair loss treatment, etc. Expat Health Seoul+1
  • Located in a convenient area (Sinsa-dong) near public transit (Apgujeong Station Exit 1). English Friendly Korea+1
  • Bilingual / multilingual support tends to be good due to being a known option among foreigners. Expat Health Seoul

Good pick if you need a clinic with a broad range of services (both medical + cosmetic) in a convenient location, and possibly faster appointments for laser/beauty work.

Uni Seoul Dermatology Clinic (Gangnam District)

  • Offers treatment for acne, fungal infections, eczema, dermatosis, cosmetic and laser skin & hair treatments.
  • More traditional medical dermatology + laser; less emphasis (in what I found) on heavy cosmetic injectables.
  • Good option for skin disease management and combined cosmetic-medical dermatology.

Ideal if you want strong support for medical skin issues (eczema, acne, fungal problems) plus options for cosmetic enhancements.

What to Ask / Compare When Choosing

  • Is the doctor board-certified in dermatology (not just cosmetic aesthetician)?
  • Which treatments best match your skin concern (pigmentation/melasma, acne scars, aging, lasers, etc.)?
  • Technology: types of lasers, fractional vs ablative vs non-ablative; choice of fillers or botox.
  • Language support: English / other languages; how well they explain risks, downtime, costs.
  • Before & after photos with cases similar to yours (skin type, concern, severity).
  • Aftercare: follow-ups, skin care plan, handling side effects.
