Skin Care

Medically reviewed by Dr. Jin-Woo Doh, Representative Director, JD Clinic, Gangnam, Seoul, and Hyunseon Kee, Director, JD Clinic

Skin care at JD Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul is a category of non-surgical treatments aimed at skin concerns rather than facial structure: hydration, texture, pigmentation, pores, acne-related concerns, dullness and overall skin condition. Which treatment is appropriate depends on the patient's skin and goals, and the clinic's stated position is to choose according to the underlying cause rather than applying one treatment universally.

What Is Professional Skin Care?

Professional skin care is in-clinic treatment of the skin's condition — how it is hydrated, textured, toned and behaving — as distinct from treatments aimed at laxity, volume or contour.

• It covers several concerns, not one. Dryness, dullness, uneven tone, rough texture, pigmentation, acne, enlarged pores and early signs of skin ageing all sit here.
• The treatment follows the cause. The clinician evaluates skin type, pigmentation, hydration, texture and acne alongside medical history before selecting anything.
• Duration is not uniform. Basic treatments may run around twenty to thirty minutes, while peels or energy-based treatments take longer.
• Anaesthesia is generally not required.
• Results are not permanent. Skin continues to age, and pigmentation and photoageing can return with continued ultraviolet exposure.

The Bottom Line

• Skin care here is a category of treatments for skin condition, not a single facial.
• The right treatment follows the cause — pigmentation, acne, texture, hydration, redness and ageing are not one problem.
• Downtime ranges from none to over a week, and that difference decides how it fits a trip.
• Results are maintained, not permanent, and sun protection is part of the treatment.
