Location & Facilities
Dr. NewCell Clinic is located on the 7th floor of Namyoung Building, 458 Gangnam-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, boasting excellent accessibility next to Exit 6 of Sinnonhyeon Station (adjacent to the Apple Store).

Treatment Philosophy & Operational Features
Medical Staff Direct Consultation System
Unlike typical 'factory-type hospitals' where consultants guide treatments, Dr. NewCell ensures medical staff, including Director Shin, directly manage the entire process from consultation to procedure and post-care, preventing unnecessary treatments.
Sitting Design and Customizing
Emphasizing that facial appearance differs when sitting versus lying down, Director Shin performs reconfirmation and marking while the patient is seated, ensuring natural results that align with daily life.
Pain Minimization System
A 3-step anesthesia system is employed: anesthetic cream, local nerve block, and Air-Nox gas anesthesia (nitrous oxide and oxygen) for conscious pain and anxiety reduction.
