About Oaro Dermatology Clinic
A customizing dermatology clinic in Cheongdam, Apgujeong
Oaro means a clinic where the dermatologist, not a menu, decides. Founded as Korea’s customizing dermatology brand, Oaro now runs clinics in Cheongdam, Nowon and Gangdong. The Cheongdam clinic on Dosan-daero brings that diagnosis-first approach to Apgujeong with two board-certified dermatologists and nineteen clinical devices.
Our story
From customizing dermatology to reverse aging
Oaro began with a simple observation: the same laser at the same setting gives different results on different skin. So every Oaro clinic was built around a six-step process in which a board-certified dermatologist diagnoses first, writes a plan, treats, and reviews. The network’s doctors lecture internationally on filler and laser technique and publish in peer-reviewed journals, and that research culture shapes how the Cheongdam clinic works day to day.
The Cheongdam clinic adds a second idea: reverse aging . Prevention slows change; reverse aging treats change that has already happened, layer by layer, combining ultrasound, radiofrequency, collagen stimulation and volume in the order your skin needs.
What we believe you should expect from a dermatology clinic in Apgujeong: a doctor who examines you personally, genuine devices and products, honest expectations, and prices explained before anything is done.

How a visit works
The Oaro six-step customizing process
01
Personal consultation
You meet the dermatologist, not a consultant. Medical history, medications, previous treatments and what you want to change.
02
Skin diagnosis
Examination, imaging and dermoscopy where needed. You hear what will help, what will not, and what order makes sense.
03
Customized treatment
Device, depth, energy, dose and intervals set for your skin. Treatments are performed or supervised by the dermatologist.
04
Post-treatment care
Cooling, LDM or regenerative care in clinic so that redness settles faster and results build properly.
05
Care notes
Written aftercare, what to avoid, when to return. International patients receive instructions in English.
06
Ongoing custom care
Results are reviewed at each visit and the plan is adjusted. Follow-up by message is available after you travel home.
