Sensitive, Reactive Skin? Ask About Diagnosis First

Hello, I am Dr. Kim Yeon-jin, Chief Physician at UHCELL Clinic Gangnam.

If your skin is sensitive and prone to breakouts, the question I ask first is not which treatment you want. It is whether the diagnosis actually changes the plan. With this skin type, the same breakout can call for different treatments, or for no treatment at all, depending on what is causing it and how compromised the skin barrier already is.

Diagnosis Comes Before the Treatment List

At our Gangnam clinic, the diagnosis determines the order of treatments, the intensity, and sometimes whether a procedure happens at all during that visit.
