What is cosmetic dermatology?
Cosmetic dermatology covers treatments that change the appearance of healthy skin rather than cure disease: lifting sagging skin, softening wrinkles, restoring volume, refining pores and evening out tone. Most options are non-surgical, with little or no downtime.
In Korea these treatments are often called "petit" procedures (fillers, botulinum toxin, collagen stimulators) and "lifting" procedures (laser, radiofrequency, ultrasound and thread lifts). Yaan Clinic specializes in exactly these areas, plus body contouring, miraDry and skin care, and it describes its approach as rejecting "factory-style" care in favor of dedicated doctors who treat patients directly.
Which aesthetic treatments does Yaan Clinic offer in Seoul?
Yaan Clinic offers six main groups of treatment: energy-based lifting, injectables (filler and botulinum toxin), collagen stimulators and skin boosters, laser and skin-quality care, body contouring, and miraDry for underarm sweat. The table below summarizes each group.
