The Heal Dermatology Clinic · Dongdaemun, Seoul
Dermatology in Seoul
for international patients
Located one minute from Cheongnyangni Station on Seoul's main rail interchange, the clinic makes it straightforward to plan a visit around fixed travel dates. Review the fees and directions below, then send over your main concern along with your preferred dates — the actual treatment plan is only finalized once a dermatologist has examined you in person.
Plan in this order
Fix the travel constraints first. Choose the procedure in the room.
Confirm logistics before you fly, but keep the treatment plan open until the in-person assessment; a 3D scan often changes what a dermatologist recommends.
Share fixed dates
Send your arrival and departure days, your main concern, photos in daylight, previous procedures and any medical history on WhatsApp, LINE or KakaoTalk.
Share your priorities
Tell us what matters most: a treatment you have researched, a budget, an event date, or a flight you must look presentable on. The clinic replies with what fits the stay.
Decide after examination
On the day, a board-certified dermatologist examines you, runs Meta-Vu 3D and Mark-Vu, and confirms the plan, shot counts and price before anything starts.
Follow up from home
Aftercare in English, a prescription where needed, and photo follow-up by message. Staged programmes continue on your next trip.
