Home › About Yaan Clinic
Yaan Clinic is an aesthetic clinic in Samseong-dong, Gangnam, Seoul, that has offered cosmetic skin, lifting and body-contouring treatments since 2011. At Yaan Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, the founding idea is simple: one specialized clinic for petit treatments, lifting and body contouring, built on long experience rather than "factory-style" volume care. The clinic is led by its founder and chief doctor, Dr. Wontak Choi.
What kind of clinic is Yaan Clinic?
Yaan Clinic is an aesthetic (cosmetic) clinic, not a general or medical dermatology practice. It concentrates on three areas: petit injectables, energy-based and thread lifting, and non-surgical body contouring, plus miraDry and skin care.
In practice this means treatments such as fillers and collagen stimulators, botulinum toxin, skin boosters, laser and ultrasound lifting, thread lifting and fat-dissolving injections. You can browse every option in our aesthetic treatment hub, or start with the filler and non-surgical anti-aging guides.
Yaan Clinic does not diagnose or prescribe for skin diseases such as eczema or psoriasis. For those, a board-certified dermatologist is the right first stop.
How long has Yaan Clinic been open?
Yaan Clinic has been operating in Gangnam since 2011. Across its pages the clinic describes its experience as "over 16 years" of aesthetic practice, with filler treatments and laser lifting offered since 2011.
That history shows up in specific, checkable ways: Yaan Clinic describes itself as an official Artecoll filler clinic for more than 15 years, and as a clinic that has used Sculptra in Korea since its first launch.
