Who it suits
- Atopic dermatitis, whether in children or adultsDr. Koh holds membership in the Korean Atopic Dermatitis Association.
- Contact dermatitis or hand dermatitisThe trigger is identified and the skin barrier is repaired.
- Seborrhoeic dermatitis affecting the face or scalpManaged through a long-term control plan rather than a single visit.
What it does
Eczema isn't one condition but a group of inflammatory skin conditions, each with its own trigger — which is why getting the diagnosis right matters so much for treatment. Atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, seborrhoeic dermatitis and hand eczema each call for a distinct treatment plan rather than a single generic approach.
How it is planned here
The approach combines prescription anti-inflammatory treatment to bring flares under control, barrier-repair skincare for the periods in between, identification of the specific trigger involved, and LDM or phototherapy when indicated. The goal being worked toward is longer stretches without a flare, rather than a single fix.
What to expect
Most flares settle within one to two weeks once treatment starts, and a maintenance routine is provided to continue at home afterward.
Questions
Can you prescribe for my trip?
Yes. Prescriptions are issued after consultation and can cover the length of your stay.
Is it safe to have cosmetic treatment with eczema?
Often, once the skin is calm. The dermatologist decides.
Price?
Consultation and medication are charged at standard rates; procedures are quoted at consultation.
Can I see a dermatologist for a skin condition, not a cosmetic treatment?
Yes. All four physicians are medical dermatologists. Eczema, warts, hair loss and other skin conditions are diagnosed and treated here, with prescriptions issued the same day.
Can you prescribe medication for the rest of my trip?
Yes, after consultation, for the length of your stay. Bring a note of any medication you already take.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
It gives long-term reduction after a series of five to eight sessions. Occasional maintenance sessions are usual.
Do I need an appointment for a skin condition?
Message ahead so an English-speaking coordinator and a dermatologist are available; the visit itself is short.
