The best dermatology clinics in Apgujeong!! I had an excellent experience at D&A Dermatology Clinic in Apgujeong! From the moment I arrived, the staff were welcoming, professional, and attentive. One of the biggest advantages is that the staff speak English, making communication easy and comfortable throughout the entire visit. What really impressed me is the clinic’s team of five dermatology specialists, each with over 25 years of experience, along with more than 20 years of treatment experience. They provide personalized, one-on-one consultations tailored to each patient’s individual skin concerns and needs. The clinic is also equipped with advanced, state-of-the-art technology, which adds to the overall confidence and quality of care. The consultation was thorough, and the treatment process was explained clearly, making me feel comfortable and confident. The clinic itself is clean, modern, and well-organized, and the level of service is outstanding👍👍👍 Most importantly, the results are amazing, and I’m extremely satisfied with my experience! In my opinion, D&A Dermatology Clinic is the best dermatology clinic in Apgujeong. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for professional, personalized skin care in Seoul, especially international visitors who prefer English-speaking service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I have been to many clinics in the past but I highly recommend this place. Not only does the actual doctor give you one on one consultation but she takes her time to explain every detail and exactly what she recommends for your skin type instead of trying to upsale like some clinics do. I loved my experience would come back here time and time again and recommend my friends and family. Such an amazing experience.

What a great experience. There is staff members who spoke in English. They thoroughly explained every procedure I was going to do. Very patient. When you first arrive, you will do analysis on your skin. It’s very thorough and the dermatologist just actually goes over all the different aspects of your skin that could use a little bit of help. Then she will make a recommendation for you that will best fit your particular needs in terms of skin care health. The staff used numbing cream on my face worked really well and did not feel any pain. The most discomfort I felt was a little bit of a static shock but barely. And I also felt a little bit of a sandpaper blast very faintly in another procedure for laser Genesis. I’m excited to see my results which should show maximum benefits in 3 to 4 weeks.

This place needs to be more famous..! 🥺 I did know that there are experts here but I didn’t realise that they were this friendly! and they actually care about the patients. I’ve been to a lot of dermatologist in Korea and is the first time that I felt that the doctor actually really cares about the patients skin condition and they were extremely friendly and explain explained every part of the process which I really appreciate and I was smiling throughout the whole procedure because the atmosphere in this clinic was so nice which is actually not common in creatinine dermatologist and hospitals as it is usually very busy and everything has to be in order so it’s tends to be strict and monotonous. So thank you so much for this experience🩷 I’m Definitely coming back :)
