Bottom line first: the places the review data points to
When choosing a Seoul dermatology clinic for acne, the first thing to check is how real visitors responded. Among the five clinics analyzed this time, the average KakaoMap rating was 4.5 stars, and 디온의원 잠실 had the highest Kakao rating at 4.9 stars (448 reviews). By sheer review volume, 은평우태하피부과의원 was far ahead with 3,160 Naver reviews, and in terms of specialist staffing, the same clinic had six dermatology specialists, the largest team among the five. The places most often mentioned for acne scar care were 메이퓨어의원 고덕점 and 닥터이레이저피부과의원. In the end, rather than asking which place is simply “the best,” it is more practical to choose one that matches your acne condition, whether it is inflammatory acne or scar management, as well as your location and available appointment times. Below, we break down each of the five clinics one by one.
How the analysis was done
We collected and analyzed 6,037 Naver Place visitor reviews and 3,276 KakaoMap reviews, for a total of 9,313 reviews. We also cross-checked specialist information registered with the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) to confirm how many dermatology specialists were actually working at each clinic. Ratings are listed for both KakaoMap and Google Maps, while Naver only publicly shows the number of reviews and does not separately display an average rating, so the Naver data is summarized by count. The selection criteria were narrowed to clinics in Seoul where acne treatment and acne scar care reviews could actually be verified, with at least 100 reviews and active review activity within the last six months. Review content was filtered to remove exaggerated promotional wording and event marketing posts, prioritizing reviews that described actual treatment experiences and an intention to return. Hours, accessibility, and convenience features were cross-checked using each clinic’s official channels and platform information.
은평우태하피부과의원 - 6 specialists, a neighborhood dermatology clinic with over 3,000 reviews
Located 158m from Exit 3 of Yeonsinnae Station, it is also well positioned for access to the GTX-A Yeonsinnae Station. Based on HIRA data, six dermatology specialists are working there, making it the largest specialist team among the five clinics, and with 3,160 Naver reviews and 529 Kakao reviews, it also has by far the most total reviews. Both the Kakao and Google ratings are 4.0.
"I had never had skin care or laser treatment before, so I visited after looking for a well-reviewed place in my neighborhood. After looking at my skin, the director didn’t push unnecessary treatments and simply pointed out exactly the prescriptions and care I needed right now, which I really liked."
"I visited because of acne concerns and have kept going because my skin has improved so much. It’s the best!"
The clinic hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10:00 to 19:00, and Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00 to 20:00, so it offers evening hours twice a week. On Saturdays it is open from 10:00 to 15:30, and on Sundays it also operates from 9:00 to 13:00, making it convenient for people who have difficulty finding time during the week. No separate lunch break is listed, so it is best to call ahead at 02-352-1675. Since facility information has not been publicly disclosed, it is safer to ask in advance about parking. As many reviews mention lifting procedures such as HILOWAVE and Thermage, people considering acne treatment alongside other procedures should clearly state that acne is the priority during consultation.
은평아이디의원 - One-doctor practice, two-minute walk from Yeonsinnae Station
At 113m from Exit 7 of Yeonsinnae Station, this clinic has the best accessibility among the five. Naver review counts were not available, but there are 979 Kakao reviews and 5 Google reviews. Specialist information is not publicly available in HIRA data, so it is recommended to check the director’s background directly before visiting.
"I’ve been going regularly for toning. It’s right in front of the station, so it’s convenient, and the staff are kind! The director is really thorough, and I already had acne marks on my face, but they’ve become much lighter."
"There’s only one director, so they must be busy, but they still provide kind and careful treatment. Among the dermatology clinics I’ve been to, this one seems to do the best job."
The clinic operates Monday through Friday from 10:00 to 20:00, with relatively extensive evening hours, and on Saturdays from 10:30 to 16:30. It is closed on Sundays. It explicitly provides Wi-Fi, reservations, separate men’s and women’s restrooms, easy payment, and parking, which are confirmed details. However, since it runs with a single director, wait times may be longer during busy periods such as after work in the evening, so advance booking through the KakaoTalk channel is recommended. Several reviews mention acne scar improvement, making it worth considering for those focused on scar care.
디온의원 잠실 - 4.9 Kakao rating, near Jamsilsaenae Station
It is located 307m from Exit 4 of Jamsilsaenae Station. With a Kakao rating of 4.9, it had the highest rating among the five clinics analyzed here. It has 448 Kakao reviews, 204 Naver reviews, and 7 Google reviews. However, its Google rating is 3.0, so there is a noticeable platform-to-platform difference, making it a good idea to check multiple channels.
"The small, fair-skinned staff member who helps with acne extraction must have a stake in the hospital, because there’s no way someone could be that kind otherwise... Their skills are great, they’re so delicate, and they’re so kind that I was moved several times."
"The nurse was incredibly kind, so I left feeling touched. She sincerely explained the precautions and helpful tips we needed, and I was very grateful."
The clinic is open Monday through Friday from 10:30 to 20:00, and on Saturdays from 10:30 to 16:00; it is closed on Sundays. Amenities include parking, valet parking, reservations, and separate men’s and women’s restrooms. Since valet parking is available, it is convenient for visitors coming by car. Because acne extraction is mentioned repeatedly in reviews, those considering extraction may want to ask in advance to be assigned to a specific coordinator. As the clinic operates by reservation, check its website or blog before visiting.
메이퓨어의원 고덕점 - Many acne scar care reviews, Google rating 4.9
It is 214m from Exit 4 of Godeok Station. The Google rating is 4.9, and with 1,557 Naver reviews, it also has a substantial total volume of feedback. Kakao reviews are relatively low at 114, so in terms of information volume, Naver Place reviews are more useful than KakaoMap reviews.
"I’ve been going regularly every month for acne scar care, and I’m satisfied because the marks have faded."
"While receiving Quad S treatment in Gangdong-gu, I could see the pores around my nose steadily getting smaller."
The clinic operates Monday through Friday from 10:30 to 20:30, with long evening hours, and on Saturdays from 10:00 to 17:00. It is closed on Sundays. Amenities include reservations, separate men’s and women’s restrooms, a waiting area, easy payment, and parking. Since reviews repeatedly mention acne scars, pores, and collagen toning, it may be a useful option for those focused on scar-stage care. Many reviews mention monthly regular visits, so it would be a good idea to ask during consultation whether a regular maintenance program is available.
닥터이레이저피부과의원 - 1 minute on foot from Apgujeong Rodeo Station, over 2,000 reviews
At just 47m from Exit 4 of Apgujeong Rodeo Station on the Suin-Bundang Line, it is the closest to a station among the five. It has a Google rating of 4.9 with 23 Google reviews, and 1,116 Naver reviews and 1,206 Kakao reviews, for a total of more than 2,300 reviews. Based on HIRA data, one dermatology specialist is registered there.
"It’s already been two years since I started going to Doctor Laser. I’m so happy because I found hope for my acne-prone skin. If you choose laser or care here, you won’t regret it!"
"I visited because of skin concerns, and the consultation was so thorough from the start that I trusted them right away. After carefully checking my skin condition, they only recommended the care I actually needed, so it didn’t feel burdensome."
The clinic is open Monday through Friday from 10:30 to 20:00, and on Saturdays from 10:30 to 17:00; it is closed on Sundays. Amenities include reservations, Wi-Fi, separate men’s and women’s restrooms, a waiting area, parking, and valet parking, making it one of the more convenient clinics in the Gangnam area. Since there are multiple reviews from people who have returned for more than two years, it may be well suited for those considering long-term care. Because Apgujeong Rodeo is a busy commercial district, advance reservations are recommended.

Checklist for choosing an acne dermatology clinic
- Whether a specialist is on staff — Check through the HIRA website or the clinic’s information whether a dermatology specialist actually provides treatment.
- Treatment plan by acne stage — Because treatment differs depending on whether it is inflammatory acne or scar-stage acne, ask about a stage-by-stage plan during consultation.
- Signs of over-treatment — Observe whether the first consultation pushes too many procedures at once.
- Share of return visits in reviews — Check whether reviews include many mentions such as “I keep going” or “been going for two years.”
- Hours and evening availability — If you work during the day, check in advance whether evening appointments are available on weekdays.
- Reservation method — Check whether booking is convenient via phone, KakaoTalk channel, or app.
- Parking and transport convenience — Confirm public transportation access and parking availability ahead of time.
- Transparency of pricing — Check whether treatment estimates and aftercare costs are clearly explained before procedures.
- Aftercare guidance — Verify in reviews whether the clinic gives specific post-treatment instructions.
Warning signs to watch for
Be cautious if a clinic strongly pushes overly large treatment packages in a single consultation. Clinics where reviews repeatedly say there is “no over-treatment” tended to appear relatively more trustworthy. Second, be cautious if specialist information is not publicly disclosed and is difficult to verify. It is safest to check HIRA registration yourself or contact the clinic directly. Third, be wary of cases where treatment is performed without clear aftercare instructions, because acne can easily recur or lead to scarring if care is neglected. Finally, if a clinic has not updated reviews for more than six months, it is a good idea to separately confirm its current operating status and whether there have been any changes in medical staff.
Frequently asked questions
Which dermatology clinics are known for acne scar care in Seoul?
In this analysis, 메이퓨어의원 고덕점 and 닥터이레이저피부과의원 had many reviews related to acne scars and pores. However, the appropriate procedure depends on the scar condition and treatment history, so it is best to confirm directly through consultation.
