For those seeking skin care in Korea, the fear is rarely about “trying it” — but rather about being pushed through an assembly line, opaque pricing, stacking procedures with no visible results, or walking into a clinic that treats foreign tourists as a “one-time business.” Cheongdam-dong is the heart of Seoul’s high-end medical aesthetics, packed with dermatology clinics, but those that truly offer privacy, professionalism, and no hard selling are actually few.
Under the plane trees on Dosan-daero 55-gil in Cheongdam-dong, there is a clinic that has built a strong reputation over the years. NEWYOUNG Dermatology (Youth & Young) is not just a small skincare shop that does facials and masks; it is a mid-to-high-end medical institution grounded in plastic surgery and extended through skin care — offering under-eye fat repositioning, lifting procedures, skin boosters, and energy-based device anti-aging treatments.
NEWYOUNG Dermatology is located at 2F, 49 Dosan-daero 55-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (Cheongdam-dong). Cheongdam-dong is the heart of Seoul’s high-end medical aesthetics and fashion — unlike the budget assembly lines in Hongdae or Sinchon, clinics here generally place greater emphasis on atmosphere, privacy, and service quality — and NEWYOUNG is one of them.
Walking into NEWYOUNG, the first impression is “this doesn’t feel like a hospital” — the interior resembles a quiet café, with floor-to-ceiling windows in the waiting area overlooking Cheongdam-dong’s tree-lined avenue. The design of private treatment rooms ensures patient privacy, so you won’t be disturbed from check-in until the end of your treatment.
As a mid-to-high-end dermatology clinic, NEWYOUNG does not compete on low prices but rather on professional medical expertise and meticulous service. The clinic is equipped with advanced laser devices, including the Lumenis UltraPulse CO₂ fractional laser, which can be used for scar revision, pore contraction, skin rejuvenation, pigmentation removal, and wrinkle reduction.
The lead director of NEWYOUNG Dermatology is Dr. Yoo Joong-ha (유중하). His credentials are solid and focused in Korea’s dermatology and plastic surgery fields:
Many patients ask: “What is the difference between under-eye fat repositioning and traditional eye bag surgery?” — Traditional surgery often simply removes the eye bag fat entirely, which can lead to darkened circles or a hollow appearance post-operatively. Dr. Yoo’s fat repositioning technique does not “remove” but “rearranges” — redistributing the protruding fat to sunken areas like the tear troughs, thereby eliminating bags and filling depressions simultaneously for brighter, more vibrant eyes.
In addition to under-eye fat repositioning, Dr. Yoo has also accumulated extensive clinical experience in face lifting, collagen injections, skin boosters, and energy-based device anti-aging.
NEWYOUNG’s brand philosophy can be summed up in four words: natural and restrained. For injectables, the clinic adheres to the “small amounts, multiple sessions” injection technique — not large-volume filling in one go, but gradually shaping a natural “born-with-it” good skin look through precise, staged injections.
“Here, you don’t have to worry about looking fake from overfilling. The director uses precise techniques to create your ideal skin condition.” — This quote from the clinic’s introduction reflects the genuine experience of many visitors.
The consultation process is also sincere — not a rushed two-minute chat. It begins with a skin analysis to systematically assess pigmentation, pores, wrinkles, and other concerns. The director then reviews the report carefully and discusses the plan one-on-one. The whole process is unhurried, never perfunctory, and certainly never starts with pushing a list of unnecessary procedures.
This is NEWYOUNG’s signature treatment and Director Yoo Joong-ha’s core area of expertise. Unlike traditional eye bag removal surgery, this technique uses a CO₂ laser to make a tiny incision under the lower eyelid, redistributing the protruding fat to hollow areas such as the tear troughs. Post-operatively, it not only eliminates eye bags but also improves tear troughs and dark circles, leaving the eyes brighter and more expressive.
NEWYOUNG is equipped with advanced laser and energy-based devices, including the Lumenis UltraPulse CO₂ fractional laser. These devices can be used for scar revision, pore contraction, skin rejuvenation, pigmentation removal, and wrinkle reduction. The doctor selects appropriate devices and energy parameters based on each individual’s skin type and needs to ensure natural and safe results.
In the field of injectables, NEWYOUNG adheres to the “small amounts, multiple sessions” principle. The clinic offers hyaluronic acid fillers, collagen injections, and skin boosters. The doctor precisely controls injection depth and volume based on each patient’s facial characteristics and needs, avoiding a “mask-like” look or overfilling.
In addition to the above specialty treatments, NEWYOUNG also offers standard skin care services, including deep cleansing, acne treatment, and skin brightening. While basic, these services also follow the “diagnose first, treat after” principle, without blind recommendations.
As a mid-to-high-end clinic in Cheongdam-dong, NEWYOUNG’s pricing is not based on rock-bottom prices but is aligned with its professional medical expertise, private environment, and quality service. Below are reference prices for some treatments (excluding 10% VAT, exchange rates for reference):

NEWYOUNG Dermatology is located at 2F, 49 Dosan-daero 55-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (Cheongdam-dong). In the heart of Cheongdam-dong’s commercial district, surrounded by luxury flagship stores, high-end cafes, and art galleries — perfect for combining treatment with shopping and coffee.
The clinic operates on an appointment-only basis. We recommend scheduling a consultation in advance. Cheongdam-dong’s tree-lined avenue is especially beautiful in autumn, and sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window with a coffee while waiting is an experience in itself.

At NEWYOUNG Dermatology, medical aesthetics is not treated as a competition about the “number of procedures” — more is not always better, and higher cost doesn’t guarantee better results. What truly matters is: whether each treatment you choose is truly appropriate for your current condition — whether it allows you to see a better version of yourself without altering your natural essence.
Under the leadership of Director Yoo Joong-ha, an Inha University graduate, NEWYOUNG — a mid-to-high-end clinic on the 2nd floor near Cheongdam-dong’s tree-lined avenue — has cared for countless individuals with meticulous attention.
