Nonsurgical Aesthetic Care in Gangnam, Seoul
Dong-An Joongsim Clinic What Makes Us Different?
We focus on nonsurgical treatments for people who want to look fresher without surgery or anesthesia.
Dr. Soyoun Koo and Dr. Chang-Hwan Cho: 20 years of experience at the forefront of Korean aesthetics (Featured in Noblesse, November 2024)
What we find beautiful often changes with age. In our early twenties, we may want more defined features. As the first signs of aging appear in our mid-to-late twenties, looking fresh and youthful tends to become more important.
Smooth, firm skin has always been closely associated with a youthful face. Today, though, more people want results that suit their own features, rather than skin that simply looks tight and flawless.
One question comes up again and again in online discussions about aesthetic treatments: how natural will the results look?
At Dong-An Joongsim Clinic, our approach to a youthful face, body and overall appearance gives body balance just as much attention as skin quality.
We call this ideal Perennial Youth. It guides the way we interpret beauty, study new treatment methods and develop our own approach to nonsurgical facial rejuvenation and body contouring.
Dong-An Joongsim Clinic opened with a clear focus: natural-looking rejuvenation without surgery. Our name reflects that purpose. We concentrate on noninvasive anti-aging treatments, offering people who are hesitant about surgery or anesthesia a comparatively safe, effective way to look more youthful while still looking like themselves.
Drawing on that experience, we continue to refine our approach for patients seeking a more exclusive level of care: lasting beauty, understated elegance and the highest standards in aesthetic treatment.
The Pleasure of Looking Like Yourself. Looking youthful should contribute to feeling well, both physically and emotionally. We believe the pleasure of feeling good about your appearance is part of a fulfilling life. That belief shapes our approach to beauty.
We were the first clinic in Korea to introduce several premium laser systems, and we now hold the largest range of premium laser equipment in Asia. Our BTL range includes EMFACE, EMSCULPT NEO, EMSELLA and EXION. Explore Our Technology →

A Welcome from the Doctors Who Will See and Treat You
We are Dr. Chang-Hwan Cho and Dr. Soyoun Koo of Dong-An Joongsim Clinic.
Thank you for visiting our website. We opened this clinic with excitement and gratitude, and we still feel that way when we welcome each patient. We aim to treat everyone with the warmth, respect and care we would want for our own families.
We work to make the latest medical care available to our patients. We see that as a basic responsibility, both as doctors and as the people running this clinic.
We will always listen to what you have to say. From the way we organize appointments to the care we provide, our goal is to be a clinic you can trust to give you its full attention.

Dr. Chang-Hwan Cho
The Pleasure of Looking Like Yourself
Our first principle is that looking youthful should be a pleasure. As we live longer, caring for our appearance matters to more of us. We believe the treatment experience should be as positive as the result: safer, more comfortable procedures, natural-looking changes and as little disruption to everyday life as possible.
That Last One Percent
Our final principle is to keep working on the last one percent. Even when we are 99 percent satisfied today, there is always something to improve tomorrow. That means looking beyond the face to the body, the neck and even the fingertips, giving the less noticeable details the same care.
Dr. Soyoun Koo on Feeling Better, Inside and Out
Ten or fifteen years ago, surgery was often valued for a dramatic change, even if the result looked a little artificial. Today, more people want natural results from simpler treatments. We aim to meet that preference with up-to-date procedures that are effective without being unnecessarily demanding. My own hope is for this clinic to care not just for how people look, but also for how they feel about themselves.
First in Korea. First Worldwide.

Three Reasons Performers Choose Dong-An Joongsim Clinic
Many actors, entertainers and broadcasters visit our clinic. We keep their identities private. Three things have helped patients find us through word of mouth, without advertising.
Your Doctor Consults and Treats You
We take a personal approach to care. You consult with a doctor, not a sales consultant. The doctor assesses your skin and facial structure, plans where and at what depth to deliver energy, and performs the treatment personally.
Planned Around Your Schedule
If filming is tomorrow, we choose treatments that make a visible difference without swelling or redness. If you have a month, we work back from your filming date to plan treatments in stages.
A Broad Range of Technology in One Clinic
With a wide choice of tightening systems, skin boosters, lasers and body treatments, we can select a combination that suits your face, all in one place.
