Key Findings First
In this data review, the clinics that stood out most for scar treatment were 연세스타피부과의원 신촌점 (Yonsei Star Dermatology Sinchon Branch) and 새오름피부과의원 (Saeoreum Dermatology Clinic). 연세스타피부과의원 신촌점 has 1,181 Naver reviews and 315 Kakao reviews, for a total of 1,496, and it is staffed by 5 dermatology specialists. 새오름피부과의원 has 608 total reviews, 2 dermatology specialists, and repeated mentions in patient feedback about satisfaction with scar and acne care. That said, all five clinics listed here are in the Seoul area rather than Hwaseong, so if you are searching for a Hwaseong scar dermatology clinic, think of this as a comparison guide for whether it is worth traveling from Hwaseong to Seoul.
How We Analyzed This
This article combines real user data with physician information. The sources used were 2,070 Naver Place visitor reviews, 1,004 Kakao Map reviews, and HIRA specialist information. Across the five clinics, the review total comes to 3,171. Of the three clinics with publicly available Kakao ratings, two were rated 5.0, while two clinics had Google ratings of 3.5 or 2.5. We did not rely on rating alone; we also reviewed the number of specialists, treatment details mentioned in real reviews, waiting time, booking method, and access. Because scar treatment usually requires a long-term plan rather than a single procedure, we paid special attention to whether reviews mentioned specific treatments such as subcision, V-beam, scar laser, tattoo removal, and Saesal-needle therapy.
If you are a foreign resident or medical tourist visiting Hwaseong, language support can vary by clinic, so it is best to confirm it by phone or on the clinic’s booking page before you go. Bring your ID, any previous treatment records if you have them, and notes or photos showing when the scar appeared and whether there has been inflammation. If you need an English-speaking dermatologist, do not assume support is available unless the clinic explicitly confirms it.
연세스타피부과의원 신촌점 - Most Reviews, Structured Care with 5 Specialists
연세스타피부과의원 신촌점 is the clinic with the highest review count in this comparison, and with 5 dermatology specialists according to HIRA, it gives the impression of a highly systematized practice.

“I received subcision scar treatment from Director Kang Jin-moon. ... They used local anesthesia by injection first ... I was very surprised and nervous, but it was much more comfortable than I expected. I was told he had been treating scars for more than 25 years...”
“We decided to receive V-beam treatment from Director Lee Sang-joo for my 9-year-old child’s scar. It was the first day, so I worried it might hurt, but she’s smiling, so maybe it didn’t hurt at all...”
The clinic is located at 6F, Terraound, 73 Sinchon-ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, and it is a very convenient 211m from Exit 1 of Sinchon Station on Line 2. Hours are Mon-Fri 09:00-20:00 and Sat 09:00-15:00, with publicly listed late-night hours on weekdays. No lunch break information is provided, so calling ahead is the safest option. It offers booking, parking, a waiting area, and wireless internet, so convenience is relatively good. Reviews also frequently mention staff friendliness and organized guidance. From a scar-treatment perspective, the repeated references to subcision, V-beam, and combination laser treatment make it worth considering if you want combination therapy by scar type. Before visiting, it is a good idea to confirm booking requirements and parking availability.
연세스타피부과의원 방배점 - Strong Scar and Tattoo-Removal Feedback, Extremely Close to the Station
연세스타피부과의원 방배점 stands out for its ultra-convenient location, just 39m from Exit 3 of Bangbae Station. It has 1 dermatology specialist, 530 Naver reviews, 292 Kakao reviews, and 51 Google reviews, for a total of 873. In the scar-treatment category, reviewers directly said things like “there’s nothing they can’t do for scars” and “recommended for scar treatment,” and there were also patient stories about tattoo removal and anti-aging procedures, suggesting a fairly broad treatment portfolio.
“I came here after reading the reviews, and in real life it was just like the reviews. I came worried, but the director was kind and clearly professional. They say there is nothing they can’t do when it comes to scars, and it really seemed true. I recommend it.”
“I’m currently getting tattoo removal because I have an important schedule early next year. There’s still some left, but it has faded a lot, so I’m looking forward to the remaining sessions.”
The address is 7F, 83 Bangbae-ro, Seocho-gu, Seoul, and hours are Mon 10:00-20:00, Tue-Thu 10:00-19:00, Fri 10:00-20:00, and Sat 09:00-16:00. Publicly listed late-night hours are on Monday and Friday. One review mentioned waiting two hours after applying numbing cream, so it is best to allow plenty of time if you plan to receive scar laser treatment or a combination procedure. Booking, parking, and quick payment options are available, and the facility amenities are solid. From a scar-treatment perspective, its strength is the visible experience with combined scar procedures, but because wait times can be long, advance booking and enough time on your schedule are important.
새오름피부과의원 - Strong Reviews for Acne Scars and Deep Scars
새오름피부과의원 is the clinic with the most diverse reviews mentioning acne scars, deep scars, and burn scars. According to HIRA, it has 2 dermatology specialists and 1 emergency medicine specialist.

“For deep scars and acne, I booked with Dermatology Specialist Director Park Ah-young. I’ve been receiving acne scar treatment from Director Park Ah-young for nearly a year! She is extremely careful and thorough, and I love that there is no excessive treatment ”
The clinic is at Room 301-1 and 301, 3F, 89 Dongjak-daero, Dongjak-gu, Seoul, just 106m from Exit 7 of Isu Station.

Lunch break information is not publicly available, so asking in advance is wise. Reviews repeatedly mention waiting less than 10 minutes after booking, careful explanations, and no excessive treatment. From a scar-treatment viewpoint, the repeated references to extractions, scaling, and scar laser combination treatment are especially strong. If you are worried about pitted acne scars left after inflammation, this clinic is worth a look.
청담하트피부과의원 - Doctor-Led Care, with Reviews Suggesting Less Overtreatment
청담하트피부과의원 is not a large clinic, but reviews repeatedly mention that the doctor personally handles extractions, injections, and consultations, which makes it a good fit for people looking for physician-led care. According to HIRA, it has 1 dermatology specialist, with 93 Naver reviews, 4 Kakao reviews, and 2 Google reviews, for a total of 99. The overall review count is smaller, but the content is relatively specific.
“My skin suddenly got much worse, so I searched for a specialist clinic and came here after reading the reviews. ... This is the first clinic where the director personally performed the extractions. They don’t do excessive treatment and treat carefully so that there is little scarring.”
“I really liked that there was none of that here at all. All consultations are done by the doctor, and even extractions and injections are done directly by the doctor. The reviews saying they are kind and don’t over-treat were actually true.”
The address is 4F, 704 Yeongdong-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and it is extremely close at 8m from Exit 14 of Cheongdam Station on Line 7. Hours are publicly listed only for Mon-Thu 11:00-19:00, while Friday and Saturday information is not disclosed, so you should confirm before going. Public information suggests no late-night hours, and no lunch break is listed. Parking, booking, and a waiting area are available, but because the review count is relatively small, if you need long-term scar care, it is better to ask carefully about the treatment plan and cost structure at the first consultation. Its scar-related strength is the sense of minimal scarring after extractions and less overtreatment.
자연재생한의원 - Focused on Scar and Wound Care, Kakao Rating 5.0
자연재생한의원 is not a dermatology clinic, but it is worth including because reviews clearly mention scar treatment, burns, pressure sores, necrosis, and other traumatic wound care. HIRA specialist information is listed as none. It has 0 Naver reviews, 55 Kakao reviews, and 40 Google reviews, for a total of 95. Its Kakao rating is 5.0.
“Scar treatment (laser, Saesal-needle) — after booking, I was able to go in right away, and because I booked in advance, they consulted very kindly.”
“Wound treatment — burns, pressure sores, necrosis, and other trauma care — after booking, I was able to go in right away. The director was very kind, gave detailed counseling on what the patient needed, and treated me carefully.”

It may be worth considering if you want to look at scar aftercare and recovery together with wound healing.

Scar Clinic Selection Checklist
- Did you first identify the scar type? — Pitted scars, red scars, hyperpigmentation, and hypertrophic scars are treated differently.
- Is there a dermatology specialist? — Checking whether HIRA specialist information is available helps you gauge clinical reliability.
- Does real review content show scar-treatment experience? — Look for specific procedure names such as subcision, V-beam, scar laser, or extractions.
- Are the number of sessions and treatment duration clearly explained? — Scar treatment is rarely finished in one visit.
- Is pain control available? — Numbing cream, injection anesthesia, and explanations of treatment intensity matter.
- Is there evidence of overtreatment? — Check reviews to see whether the clinic avoids unnecessary procedures.
- How is booking and waiting handled? — It helps to know the actual waiting time after booking.
- Are there evening hours? — For working patients, weekday evening hours can be a major advantage.
- Is parking available? — Long-term treatment often means repeated visits, so parking can matter.
- Is aftercare explained? — Regeneration care, return-visit timing, and sun protection guidance are essential.
Warning Signs to Watch For
When choosing a clinic for scar treatment, be especially cautious of the following signs:
- The explanation is too brief and they immediately push treatment — Scars should be evaluated by cause and depth first.
- All the reviews sound too similar and lack detail — This may be marketing text rather than real treatment experience.
- Specialist information is unclear, but expensive packages are emphasized — The focus may be on sales rather than care.
- There is no explanation of waiting time, booking method, or side effects — That can make long-term treatment more difficult.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do Seoul clinics appear in an article about Hwaseong scar dermatology?
The real data provided by the user is centered on Seoul-area clinics, so this comparison is meant to help people in Hwaseong evaluate whether a trip to Seoul would be worth it for scar treatment. In other words, think of these as candidate clinics if you are willing to travel from Hwaseong.
Do I need a dermatologist for scar treatment?
Not absolutely, but because scar types vary and treatment often requires multiple sessions, a clinic with a dermatologist usually provides a more structured explanation. This is especially important for pitted scars or scars left after inflammation.
If I am a foreign resident, can I expect English-speaking staff?
Not automatically. Language support varies by clinic, so you should confirm by phone or on the booking page before visiting; that is also the best way to check whether an English-speaking dermatologist is available.
Does a high review count always mean a better clinic?
No. Review count is only one indicator. You should also check the specificity of scar-treatment reviews, specialist status, and booking / waiting system.
How many scar-treatment sessions will I need?
It depends on the scar type and depth, but in many cases more than one session is needed. The reviews here also show examples of treatment over two sessions and even more than a year of ongoing care.
Is a long wait time always a bad sign?
Not necessarily. However, because scar treatment is often appointment-based, it is smart to confirm the booking method and the actual waiting time beforehand.
What should I prepare before visiting a scar clinic?
It helps to organize when the scar first appeared, whether there is current inflammation, any previous treatment history, any medication you take, and how much sun exposure the area has had. If possible, bring photos as well.
