I visited D&A Dermatology today for a Potenza treatment and had a very positive experience. The consultation was thorough, and the staff guided me carefully throughout the entire process. The clinic felt professional, clean, and welcoming. I’m excited to see my results and would happily recommend them! 😊Posted on Google![]()

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 :)Posted on Google![]()

Such a great experience at D&A! This is the complete opposite of a factory-style clinic I felt like I received really personalized attention and never felt rushed. The English translator was amazing, and the doctor also speaks English, which made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. Really excited to see their new location!Posted on Google![]()

Did hair PRF. Great experience, very personal and much better than the factory clinic experience. The doctors also do the consultation and the treatments. Dr. Lee did my treatment and she was wonderful. Very friendly and understanding, gave detailed explanations, and also speaks great English. They offer a lot of services- I will definitely come back in future trips.Posted on Google![]()

I visited this clinic for mole removal treatment, and my wife also had one session of Rosacea laser treatment. (machine only, no additional skincare products or injections) The communication was good, and I had no problems during the recovery no complication occurs, but moles are still visible, i was hoping moles completely gone or at least more than %50. However, my other concern is the pricing. After the treatment, I discovered that other clinics in the same area offer similar treatments at significantly lower prices. For example, I paid for a 7 mole removals, while I later found packages offering around 20 mole removals for nearly half the price, I paid 850 usd for these 1 session treatment This made me question whether I received fair value for my money. I felt I was scammed, what I received with the money i paid ,does not satisfy me. The pricing was disappointing. There is no pricing menu with services that you can see clearly, all done in computer by doctor and assistant, because of the feeling of being scammed, I would choose another clinic next time.Posted on Google![]()

디엔에이 피부과의원에서 RF 시술이랑 자가혈청피부주기 받고 왔어요 처음 상담부터 시술까지 전체적으로 꼼꼼하게 설명해주셔서 편하게 받을 수 있었어요 궁금한 부분도 하나하나 친절하게 알려주셔서 좋았고, 시술도 생각보다 부담스럽지 않았어요 시술 후에는 시간이 지나봐야겠지만 피부가 한층 촉촉하고 탄탄해진 느낌이라 만족스러웠어요 관리받는 느낌도 좋았고, 전반적으로 직원분들도 친절해서 기분 좋게 다녀왔습니다 강남에서 피부과 알아보시는 분들이라면 한 번 상담받아보셔도 좋을 것 같아요-Posted on Google![]()

The quality of the service is excellent, and the doctors are fully certified. I’m very happy with the clinic. Everything was done professionally and carefully — they thoroughly checked my skin first, then I had a consultation, and after that the Potenza treatment itself, which was completely painless. Overall, I’m very happy with the experience and the results.Posted on Google![]()
