Clinic Identity & Philosophy
Overview & Facilities
Dr. NewCell Clinic is a dermatology clinic located on Gangnam-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (near Sinnonhyeon Station), setting 'anti-aging' and 'flawless skin texture' as its core treatment areas. It differentiates itself from the high-volume 'factory-type hospital' model, aiming to be a 'high-end boutique hospital' providing customized solutions.
The clinic's name, 'Dr. NewCell,' implies a treatment philosophy of restoring the skin's natural health and balance by reviving each individual cell, reflecting the 'Well-Aging' trend. Located on the 7th floor of Namyoung Building, 458 Gangnam-daero, with excellent accessibility. The interior is designed with patient privacy as top priority, featuring a gallery-like waiting room and VIP single-person care rooms.
Treatment Philosophy & Pain Management
"A person's face is distinctly different when lying down versus sitting due to the influence of gravity."
- Director Shin Yong-bae
- Medical Staff Direct Consultation System: The most significant feature is that 'consultation managers do not decide the direction of treatment.' Medical staff, including Director Shin, are directly responsible for the entire process from consultation to procedure and post-care to prevent unnecessary excessive treatment.
- Sitting Design and Customizing: Immediately before procedures, patients sit up to reconfirm the design and mark the procedure area, ensuring natural appearance in daily life.
-
Pain Minimization System (3-step anesthesia):
- Anesthetic Cream (Surface anesthesia)
- Local Nerve Block Anesthesia
- Air-Nox Anesthesia (gas anesthesia reducing pain and anxiety while conscious)
