Apgujeong CNP Dermatology, my #1 hospital visited due to recurring acne troubles, and reviews of the other top 3.

My skin is naturally very sensitive, so

I'm the type of person whose acne flares up all over my chin and cheeks whenever I'm even slightly tired or stressed.

In particular, small pimples kept popping up and then spread into large, inflammatory acne.

Also, the marks lingered for a long time, so it was very stressful that my skin looked bad even with makeup on.

For a while, I tried squeezing them out myself at home using an extractor and tried every cosmetic product that was supposed to be good, but it only damaged my skin barrier and made the redness and breakouts worse.

So, I decided to get proper dermatological care before it was too late, and I consulted with several places. I’m going to list my top 3 clinics that I was personally satisfied with!!

I'll attach the before and after photos too~ It definitely looks better, right??

 

 

 

No. 1 Apgujeong Cha & Park Dermatology Clinic

 

From the moment I first went for a consultation, this place felt different from other hospitals.

Usually, when you go to a dermatology clinic, there were places that would immediately recommend lasers or start talking about treatments.

I liked that they asked me in detail about my lifestyle habits and skin concerns.

After examining my skin condition, they explained why I repeatedly get breakouts on my chin.

I trusted the explanation that my skin barrier seemed to have become sensitive due to my squeezing habit because it was absolutely true.

I felt reassured because they adjusted the intensity considering my sensitive skin and kept checking periodically to see if I was uncomfortable during the laser and extraction treatments.

My biggest worries were the pain from the extraction and my face breaking out after the procedure.

It was more bearable than I expected, and thanks to the thorough soothing care, the redness subsided quickly.

After visiting consistently a few times, the frequency of cystic acne breakouts decreased, and I felt like my skin texture itself became smoother.

Seeing the red marks that couldn't even be covered with makeup gradually fading, I thought I should have gotten treatment sooner.

The biggest factor was that the staff explained the after-treatment precautions and how to care for my skin at home in detail, so I stopped trying to fix things on my own!!

 

 

2nd Place Gangnam Oracle Dermatology

 

Overall, the facilities here were very clean, and there was a wide variety of lasers.

I liked that they gave personalized recommendations based on my skin condition, and the blemish-soothing effect wasn't bad either.

I especially felt my skin texture improving quickly, but it was a bit difficult to book an appointment, and there were times when the wait was long.

The consultation itself was friendly, but I remember feeling a bit disappointed because it felt a little faster compared to the top-ranked hospital.

 

 

3rd Place Tox & Fill Clinic

 

It felt like a good place to receive consistent care at a relatively affordable price.

The extraction process was quite clean, and it was effective for inflammatory acne.

I definitely felt that major skin troubles were decreasing as I managed it along with the prescribed medication.

I felt that the detailed explanation regarding the skin type itself was a bit lacking.

Still, I would like to recommend this as a good hospital for students or those just starting out in their careers to begin managing their health!

 

 

Personally, the reason I chose CNP Dermatology as number one is that it doesn't feel like they are just performing procedures.

It is because I felt the most significant factor was that it took care of my skin itself!

Acne-prone skin isn't something that ends immediately with just one treatment.

I needed to consider lifestyle habits and the skin barrier as well, and I trusted you because you explained those aspects as well.

In the past, I used to get stressed every time I looked in the mirror, and I felt self-conscious about meeting people because of my skin.

I'm most satisfied now that my makeup applies much better and I have fewer days feeling down because of my skin haha.

For those of you who, like me, struggle with acne, I really hope you read my post and find it helpful.
