When you look for a dermatology clinic around Gangnam Station, the procedure lists start to look similar from clinic to clinic, and in the end who treats you remains the deciding criterion. Repic Clinic in Gangnam is located on the first basement level and the second floor at 318 Gangnam-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and is staffed by five physicians, including head physician Dr. Yong-Heon Ha. This article is a guide to how to check the medical staff at a Gangnam dermatology clinic and a summary of each physician's published background.
Why to look at medical staff information first
Even for the same Botox or the same lifting, how a physician reads the skin before the procedure and how far they recommend going depends on that physician's judgment. For this reason, checking the medical staff's society activities and clinical experience before procedure or device names makes it easier to gauge the direction of a consultation. However, regular membership in a society or clinical experience is only information about a physician's background, not grounds for promising results. Results may vary from person to person.
Backgrounds of the five physicians at Repic Clinic in Gangnam
Dr. Yong-Heon Ha, head physician, is a regular member of the Korean Society of Aesthetic and Plastic Laser Medicine and the Korean Society for Laser Dermatology and Hair. He belongs to two societies that deal with laser and energy-based procedures, which is useful background for laser-related consultations.
Dr. Seung-yong Shin is a regular member of the Korean Society for Laser Dermatology and Hair. His background as a Main Medical Staff for Juvederm, Chaeum and Ulthera is also published. This indicates a history of training and activity related to filler and lifting products, and the specific details can be confirmed directly at a consultation.
Dr. Kang Mijeong has clinical experience in family medicine and is a regular member of the Korean Academy of Family Medicine, the Korean Society of Aesthetic and Plastic Laser Medicine and the Korean Society of Anti-Aging Medicine. Her background combines clinical experience from family medicine with society activity in anti-aging and aesthetics.
Dr. Kim Hyojin has clinical experience in pediatrics. This is useful background when a consultation about adolescent skin is needed along with adult skin concerns.
Dr. Seung-won Lee is a regular member of both the Korean Society of Aesthetic and Plastic Laser Medicine and the Korean Society of Anti-Aging Medicine. He continues academic activity in aesthetic lasers and anti-aging.
Areas of practice and how consultations work
The procedures described at Repic Clinic in Gangnam include masseter (square jaw) Botox, wrinkle Botox (1 area or 3 areas), skin Botox, Black Peel, Body InMode, stem cell treatment, keloid injection treatment, and Repic Scar Care, an acne scar treatment program. Three-area wrinkle Botox is a package that treats the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes together. Which physician handles each procedure and whether it suits you depend on your individual skin condition, so you should confirm this at the consultation.
Scar Care is a program that analyzes scar type and skin condition from precise skin diagnosis data and then applies subcision, Cure Jet and Collaum in combination. Because the flow is diagnosis first, then deciding the procedure, a clinic with five physicians from different clinical backgrounds lets you hear several perspectives at the consultation. Every procedure can cause temporary reactions such as swelling, bruising and pain, and the degree of reaction and recovery time differ from person to person.
