Yonsei Star Dermatology Sinchon is comprised entirely of dermatology specialists. However, it may not be immediately clear why you should receive tattoo removal from a dermatology specialist.
This article explains where results can differ even when using the same equipment, and how to check on a signboard whether the clinic you plan to visit is a dermatology specialist medical institution.
Where Results Differ Even with the Same Equipment
Even when using identical equipment, the difference in results is clear. If the equipment is a tool for delivering energy to pigment, then the diagnosis determines where and with what intensity that tool will be used.
Yonsei Star Dermatology Sinchon has dermatology specialists with over 20 years of experience and expertise who diagnose the current skin condition and then design the treatment.
What is Actually Seen in Diagnosis
The criteria for customized treatment are as follows:
- Size of the tattoo
- Type of pigment
- Depth of pigment penetration
- Current skin condition
Because these four factors vary in combination, even tattoos that appear similar may not be treated with the same irradiation method. The overall treatment flow is summarized in Tattoo Removal Treatment Guide.
Information That Can Be Read from Signboard Markings
Whether a medical institution is a dermatology specialist clinic can be distinguished by its signboard markings. Non-specialist clinics indicate their medical departments after the clinic name, while dermatology specialist medical institutions are marked with "Dermatology Clinic" as part of the name itself.
| Signboard Marking Example | How to Read |
|---|---|
| ss Clinic, Medical Department: Dermatology | Indicates Dermatology as a medical department |
| ss Clinic | No specific type name or medical department indicated |
| Yonsei Star Dermatology Clinic | Indicates a dermatology specialist medical institution |
If you were confused because the type name or medical department text was not specified, or if a name other than the medical department name stipulated by law was used, it is best to check the signboard first.
Red Dermatology Specialist Mark
Dermatology specialist hospitals have a red dermatology specialist mark. This is because if the founder of the hospital is a specialist, they are allowed to indicate that they are a specialist.
This is a certification mark recommended by the Korean Dermatological Association, so you can check for the red logo along with the signboard markings.
Treatment Focused on Reducing Scars
Yonsei Star Dermatology Sinchon diagnoses individual skin conditions with 20 years of accumulated experience and expertise in scar treatment, and operates a scar prevention safety system that minimizes potential scarring after tattoo removal.
Methods for managing scars and blisters together can be found in the Pinhole for Burn & Surgical Scar Treatment Guide.
When Equipment and Experience Go Hand in Hand
It's not just about removing tattoos with good equipment.
When good equipment and skilled experience go hand in hand, tattoo removal can proceed safely. The equipment used can be found in the R-Zero Pico-Frectat Tattoo Removal Guide.
