Key Results First
In the provided data, the clinic with the highest KakaoMap rating is 잠실루미르피부과의원 (Jamsil Lumiere Dermatology Clinic) at 5 points, but it has only 1 Kakao review. 디온의원 잠실 (Dion Clinic Jamsil) has a Kakao rating of 4.9 with 419 reviews, making it a case where both the rating and the sample size can be examined together. However, 홍피부과의원 (Hong Dermatology Clinic) has the most Kakao reviews at 1,782, while no rating is given in the data. Neither review count nor rating alone can determine how effective acne treatment will be. Many of the actual reviews provided also concern other procedures such as Botox, pigmentation, and skin boosters, so if you want acne care, it is more accurate to ask the clinic directly whether they offer extraction, inflammation treatment, and prescription medication, and what the treatment plan would be.
Analysis Method Disclosed Transparently
This comparison is based on the 3,023 Naver Place visitor reviews and 2,319 KakaoMap reviews provided, along with each clinic's rating, address, hours, amenities, and Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA) specialist information. The total Naver review count is 3,023 and the total Kakao review count is 2,319. Ratings per clinic are listed only where the provided platform gave a value; Naver or Kakao ratings not present in the data were not estimated. Google review counts and ratings are also separated out as supplementary reference information.
The provided data states an average KakaoMap rating of 4.3 for the selected clinics, but individual Kakao ratings are confirmed for only 4 of them. The simple average of those 4 is 4.35, and 홍피부과의원's Kakao rating is not provided, so the basis for the 5-clinic figure cannot be independently verified. The content below is not an evaluation guaranteeing ranking or treatment effectiveness, but a summary of the disclosed data and the themes of actual reviews. Reviews reflect the author's personal experience, and treatment outcomes can vary by individual.
Also, while some review examples mention acne extraction, no statistics on acne treatment volume or outcomes per clinic were provided. Therefore, whether a clinic specializes in acne is presented by distinguishing confirmed information from information that still needs to be verified.
Detailed Clinic-by-Clinic Analysis
미톡스외과의원 (Mitox Surgery Clinic) - 1,780 Naver Reviews, Confirmed Surgical Specialist Information
미톡스외과의원 has 1,780 Naver reviews, the most Naver reviews in this dataset. Its Kakao rating is 4 with 14 reviews, and its Google rating is 5 with 23 reviews. Because review counts and ratings differ by platform, rather than simply comparing scores, look at both the content of the reviews and your own treatment goals. HIRA information lists 1 surgical specialist, and the declared departments are surgery and dermatology. Since this is not data confirming a dermatology specialist, it is best to ask before booking about the specialty and scope of practice of the provider who would handle acne treatment.
"They explained things kindly from the start, suggested only what was really necessary, and I especially felt the director's expert touch. I'll have to come back." — khko7, September 28, 2026
"I liked that they took good care with post-procedure management." — 하나축, September 30, 2026
The address is 2F, Unit 9, 183 Garak-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul, listed as 935 m from Seokchon Station Exit 4. The provided hours are Tue/Wed/Sun 10:00–17:00 and Fri 10:00–19:00. Friday hours run until 7 p.m., but whether there are evening hours on other days is not confirmed. Lunch hours are also not in the data and must be checked by phone. Reservation and parking are listed among the amenities, but the conditions of use should be confirmed before visiting.
The actual sample reviews concern Botox and staff response/post-procedure care, and do not directly demonstrate acne treatment experience. Ask first whether acne extraction, inflammation treatment, or prescription medication is available, and what diagnostic steps are taken at the first visit. The website is mitox.net and the phone number is 0507-1333-6631.
디온의원 잠실 (Dion Clinic Jamsil) - Kakao 4.9, 419 Reviews, and Acne Extraction Feedback
디온의원 잠실 has a Kakao rating of 4.9 and 419 reviews, making it one of the clinics in the provided data where both rating and review count are confirmed together. It has 204 Naver reviews and a Google rating of 3 with 11 reviews, showing differences across platforms. HIRA specialist information is not confirmed in the provided data. This does not mean there is no specialist, so when booking for acne care you should directly confirm the treating provider's license, specialty, and actual scope of practice. Reviews mention acne extraction experience, but reviews alone cannot establish treatment effectiveness or acne care expertise.
"The teacher who helped with the acne extraction ... was skilled, so meticulous, and so kind that I was moved several times." — 포스터06, June 5, 2026
"The doctor listens to all my questions and concerns and answers everything kindly!!!" — sia00, June 24, 2026
The address is 2F, Unit 202, Dongshin Building, 96 Olympic-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul, 307 m from Jamsil Saenae Station Exit 4. The provided hours are Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri 10:30–20:00, so evening appointments are possible on those days. Whether they are open Mon/Sat/Sun and their lunch hours are not in the data, so confirmation is needed. Reservation, parking, and valet parking are listed, but parking fees and reservation change rules should be asked before visiting.
Asking during the consultation whether they give specific guidance on post-extraction care or precautions can help you judge whether this is the care you need. Explain first whether you want extraction only or also treatment for inflammatory lesions and prescription medication, then confirm the treatment options and expected costs. The phone number is 02-6949-3310 and the website is theonclinic-js.com.
잠실루미르피부과의원 (Jamsil Lumiere Dermatology Clinic) - Kakao and Google 5 Points, Limited Review Sample
잠실루미르피부과의원 is rated 5 on both Kakao and Google in the provided data. However, it has 1 Kakao review and 0 Google reviews, so the scores alone make it hard to assess the overall user experience. It has 77 Naver reviews, and HIRA specialist information is not confirmed in the provided data. Review examples include an inflammation injection experience, but there are no detailed cases or statistics showing acne diagnosis and treatment outcomes. It is therefore more practical to check the treating provider, acne care menu, treatment options, and costs than to rely on star ratings.
"I got an inflammation injection and stopped the toning care. Both the director and the manager consulted in detail and kindly." — l7l7l7, September 29, 2026
"I liked that the doctor explained my skin condition in detail. The consultation was also explained thoroughly, so I feel I can trust it :)" — SelfHolic, September 28, 2026
The address is Units 332–337, 3F, Jamsil L'El Shopping Center, 329 Olympic-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul, 285 m from Jamsil Station Exit 9. The provided hours are Mon/Wed/Thu 10:00–19:30 and Tue/Fri 10:00–20:00. Tuesday and Friday hours run until 8 p.m.; whether there are evening hours on other days needs separate confirmation. Lunch hours and amenities such as parking are not listed in the data, so ask the clinic before visiting.
From the data alone, it is not possible to know whether the inflammation injection in the review example was treatment for an acne lesion or what diagnosis preceded it. When consulting about acne, ask what methods beyond inflammation injections they would consider — extraction, topical medication, oral medication — and how they explain side effects and follow-up intervals. The phone number is 0507-1408-7781 and the website is lumirderm.com.
리영의원 (Riyoung Clinic) - Close to Mongchontoseong Station, Kakao Rating 3.5
리영의원 has 517 Naver reviews, 103 Kakao reviews, and 20 Google reviews, with a Kakao rating of 3.5 and a Google rating of 4.6. No Naver rating was provided. HIRA specialist information is also not confirmed in the provided data, so specialist status cannot be determined from this data alone. The main content of the review examples concerns skin boosters, volume procedures, and consultation experiences, and direct evidence about acne care is limited. If you plan to visit for acne treatment, confirm whether they provide that care before booking a consultation.
"They consult well on the areas you want without pushing additional procedures ... The doctor is extremely kind and does the procedure meticulously!" — 강우강아지, September 24, 2026
"The staff are kind, and most importantly Director Kim explains things well, and the location is great!!" — kimp0320, September 18, 2026
The address is Riyoung Clinic Jamsil Branch, 3F, Hyundai Topics, 6 Wirye Seongdae-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul. It is listed as 42 m from Mongchontoseong Station Exit 2. Hours are Tue/Wed/Thu 10:00–19:30, Fri 10:00–20:30, and Sat 10:00–17:00. There are Friday evening hours and Saturday hours, but lunch hours are not in the data, so check them along with your appointment time. Reservation and parking are listed, and it is best to ask in advance about parking availability times and fees.
For acne care, the necessary treatment can vary with the condition of the lesions, so it is good to confirm first whether they offer consultation only or treatment as well. If you want extraction, ask together about whether they perform it, aftercare, and the treatment process and cost if medication is needed. The phone number is 02-421-5550 and the website is reyoung.co.kr.
홍피부과의원 (Hong Dermatology Clinic) - 1,782 Kakao Reviews, Mixed Review Content
홍피부과의원 has 445 Naver reviews and 1,782 Kakao reviews, the most Kakao reviews in this dataset. Its Google rating is 3.5 but with only 1 review, and neither its Kakao rating nor its Naver rating was provided. HIRA specialist information is also not confirmed in the provided data. Actual reviews include both opinions satisfied with the director's explanation and care, and opinions expressing disappointment with the registration and reception process. These are the experiences of some users and do not represent all care, so it is good to confirm the treatment you are curious about and the registration process before visiting.
"Director Lee Geon-hong is truly kind and does diagnosis and treatment well. I'll recommend it to people around me too ^^" — 루돌프76, July 15, 2026
"They explained kindly and I liked clearly knowing the diagnosis." — 세모눈이, May 18, 2026
On the other hand, a review saying the reception guidance was inconvenient is also provided. Rather than generalizing all reviews into a single experience, it is more realistic to confirm in advance whether appointments are needed and how registration works, and to allow extra time in your schedule.
"As I saw in other reviews, it was disappointing that the desk staff were not professional." — creme, August 4, 2026
The address is 5F, 118 Seokchonhosu-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul, 449 m from Samjeon Station Exit 1. Hours are listed as Tue/Fri 09:30–20:00 and Wed 09:30–19:00, so evening appointments are possible on Tuesday and Friday. Whether they are open on other days and their lunch hours are not in the data, so check by phone. Reservation, parking, and a waiting area are listed, but the conditions of use require asking in advance.
No specific examples of acne care are confirmed in the provided reviews. Ask whether they treat acne, what tests or intake questions are used at the first visit, and whether extraction and prescription medication are available, then decide whether to visit. The phone number is 0507-1410-9396 and the website is hongskinclinic.com.

Acne Dermatology Selection Checklist
- Whether they treat acne — First confirm that they actually diagnose and treat acne, not just provide skin care or cosmetic procedures.
- Provider qualifications and scope of practice — Ask the clinic directly about the provider's license, specialty, and acne treatment experience. If information is not in public data, do not assume it is absent — verify it.
- Diagnosis and treatment plan — Check whether they examine your skin condition and explain treatment options and sequence, rather than pushing extraction or a procedure first.
- Treatment methods and expectations — Discuss which options you can consider — extraction, inflammation treatment, topical or oral medication — and their limits.
- Side effects and aftercare — Confirm precautions for procedures and medications, and how to make contact if an adverse reaction occurs.
- Costs and additional recommendations — Check consultation fees, procedure fees, medication costs, and follow-up costs separately, and ask about the cost of options you did not choose.
- Appointments and wait times — Check whether appointments are required, whether same-day visits are possible, and the rules for changing or canceling an appointment.
- Hours and lunch break — Online hours by day may differ from actual registration cutoff times, so confirm on the day of your visit.
- Parking and accessibility — Check not only whether parking is available but also the cost and supported hours, and consider the distance from the station exit to the clinic.
Warning Signs to Watch For
- Being rushed into treatment without a diagnosis or intake — If a specific procedure is recommended immediately without sufficiently checking your skin condition and past treatment history, ask about the reason and alternatives.
- Guaranteeing effects or asserting outcomes — Skin reactions and progress vary by individual, so explanations like "this will definitely cure it" should be viewed with caution.
- Unclear explanations of costs, side effects, or aftercare — Confirm the total cost, precautions, and how problems will be handled before the procedure, and postpone your decision if you are not convinced.
- Judging clinical ability on review ratings alone — Reviews are personal experiences, and review counts or star ratings do not prove acne treatment effectiveness. Verify the actual scope of care and provider information separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I check first when choosing an acne clinic in Songpa-gu as a foreigner?
Start by confirming whether they actually provide acne care and what the treating provider's scope of practice is. Then compare whether extraction, inflammation treatment, and prescription medication are available, the costs, and the follow-up plan. If you need an English-speaking dermatologist, ask the clinic directly — English support varies by clinic and should be checked by phone or the clinic's booking page before you visit. Bring your passport or alien registration card for identification, and confirm whether a deposit or pre-payment is required when booking.
Does the clinic with the most reviews also treat acne best?
That cannot be concluded. 홍피부과의원 has the most combined Naver and Kakao reviews in the provided data at 2,227, but review count is not a measure of acne treatment outcomes or expertise. You should check whether the treatment topics mentioned in reviews match your own treatment goals.
Which clinic has confirmed acne extraction feedback in this comparison?
디온의원 잠실 has an actual review example mentioning acne extraction experience. However, one or even several reviews cannot generalize the quality of care and treatment outcomes. Ask the clinic directly whether diagnosis, prescription medication, and aftercare are available beyond extraction.
Which clinic has the highest Kakao rating?
Among the individual ratings provided, 잠실루미르피부과의원 is highest with a Kakao rating of 5. However, it has only 1 Kakao review, so the sample is very limited. 디온의원 잠실 has a Kakao rating of 4.9 with 419 reviews. Look at ratings and review counts together, but it is important not to interpret them as acne treatment effectiveness.
Can I choose a clinic with a dermatology specialist based on this data alone?
That is difficult. In the provided HIRA information, 미톡스외과의원 is confirmed as having 1 surgical specialist, and the other 4 clinics have no specialist information in the data. Missing information does not mean there is no specialist. Confirm the provider's specialty and whether they handle acne care with the clinic.
How should I check hours and lunch breaks?
The day-by-day hours in this article are based on the provided clinic information. Lunch hours and registration cutoff times were not in the data and are therefore not listed. Hours may also change, so call the clinic before booking or check the official channel for that day's operation.
Final Thoughts
When looking for an acne dermatology clinic in Songpa-gu, rather than comparing only star ratings or review counts, it is better to check whether they treat acne, who the treating provider is, what treatment options exist, and the costs and aftercare. The acne-related reviews and treatment information confirmed in this data have limits, so decide by asking each clinic about the actual scope of care they can provide.
