DM Dermatology / The-M Skin Clinic
4F DM Dermatology, 158 Apgujeong-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul
Overview
1 / 6
DM Dermatology (디엠피부과) is a specialist dermatology practice in Apgujeong led by Dr. Shin Young-eui, a board-certified dermatologist who serves as an adjunct professor at Hanyang University — bringing academic-level expertise to a boutique private practice setting. With active membership in four professional societies (dermatology, hair medicine, dermatologic surgery, and acne research), Dr. Shin's credentials reflect a breadth of specialized knowledge.
The clinic's approach revolves around its "Custom Signature Program" — a treatment methodology where every protocol is individually designed based on the patient's specific skin condition, concerns, and goals. Rather than applying standardized packages, DM Dermatology creates bespoke treatment plans that may combine Ulthera lifting, thread lifting, laser therapy, Rejuran, Botox, fillers, and scalp treatments in unique configurations tailored to each individual.
DM Dermatology's multilingual capability — with the director consulting in English and staff providing support in Japanese and Chinese — makes it accessible to the international community in the Apgujeong-Sinsa area. With a 4.9 rating from 86 reviews and expertise spanning general dermatology, acne, lifting, hair loss, and anti-aging treatments, DM offers the personalized attention and academic rigor that distinguish a specialist practice from a high-volume clinic.
Our Core Values
Board-Certified University Professor
Dr. Shin serves as an adjunct professor at Hanyang University while maintaining his private practice. This academic appointment ensures that DM Dermatology's treatments are informed by current research and taught to the next generation of dermatologists.
Four Professional Society Member
Active membership in dermatology, hair medicine, dermatologic surgery, and acne research societies reflects Dr. Shin's commitment to staying current across multiple subspecialties. This breadth of professional engagement informs a more comprehensive approach to skin care.
Custom Signature Programs
Every treatment plan at DM is individually designed — the "Custom Signature Program" tailors combinations of lifting, laser, injectable, and regenerative treatments to each patient's unique skin profile. No two patients receive identical protocols.

Dr. Shin consults directly in English, while staff members provide support in Japanese and Chinese. This multilingual capability makes the clinic accessible to the diverse international community in the Apgujeong-Sinsa district.
