At Pyeongtaek Choi Yoo-seop Dermatology Clinic,
I used to receive treatment.
This is a phrase we often hear when asking people who come to Mutoel Plastic Surgery Clinic with skin conditions how they found us.

Notice of closure for Pyeongtaek Choi Yoo-seop Dermatology Clinic
For 37 years, from 1989 to June 2025,
while consistently caring for countless people in Pyeongtaek,
the name Choi Yoo-seop Dermatology Clinic came to be established like a brand.


After the news of the closure became known,
in local Pyeongtaek communities,
there were reactions expressing regret that a long-running clinic had closed,
and emotional responses from local residents who felt a sense of loss at the disappearance of a familiar clinic.

Unfortunately, Choi Yoo-seop Dermatology Clinic has closed in Pyeongtaek,
but he is currently continuing dermatology care as a dermatologist at Mutoel Plastic Surgery Clinic in Yongsan, Seoul.

These days, when many people hear “dermatology,”
they first think of Botox, fillers, and lifting procedures.
In fact, there are quite a few places that say dermatology but make it difficult to receive treatment for skin conditions.
However, Dr. Choi Yoo-seop, in Yongsan,
as an experienced dermatologist,
focuses on treating conditions that affect daily life, beyond general skin concerns,
and provides care covered by the national health insurance system.
Because small differences can make a big difference in outcomes,
diagnosis is especially important in skin conditions.
Based on 37 years of accumulated experience,
he places the highest priority on accurate diagnosis.

- Treatment Method and Process

Dr. Choi Yoo-seop assessing the condition of the skin
Dermatology care at Mutoel Plastic Surgery Clinic
is carried out in the following order.
| Checking symptoms and understanding the current condition |
|---|
| We first listen to the duration, symptoms, time of worsening, and lifestyle habits, and prioritize assessing the current state of the skin. |
For example, if your skin suddenly becomes itchy,
and then becomes red and oozes after scratching,
we need to understand specific lifestyle habits such as how many times a day you shower, whether you use tools like a shower puff when showering, and whether you frequently moisturize after showering.
| 2. Guidance on necessary measures |
|---|
| We explain the direction for improving the symptoms, including the dosage and application method of the necessary medication, and whether additional tests are needed. |
Many people feel reluctant about oral and topical medications prescribed by dermatology clinics.
However, Dr. Choi Yoo-seop prescribes medication only when absolutely necessary,
and with the minimum dosage and duration.
If a test is difficult to carry out at Mutoel Dermatology,
we will promptly refer you to another medical institution.
| 3. Insurance coverage is decided after the consultation |
|---|
| Depending on the type and condition of each person’s illness, insurance coverage may vary. In all cases, we follow the process of confirming this clearly after the dermatology consultation. |
You may come in because you are concerned about acne, but in reality,
it could be folliculitis rather than acne.
Acne and folliculitis can only be clearly determined for insurance coverage after a diagnosis following the consultation.

| 4. Consideration for visitors coming from far away |
|---|
| If you are visiting Mutoel from far away, it may be difficult to come frequently. We adjust the schedule while taking individual circumstances into account, such as the timing of visits for follow-up observation. |
If a skin tumor has been surgically removed,
periodic wound disinfection is necessary until the sutures are removed.
However, commuting from a place outside Seoul to Yongsan just for disinfection is really difficult.
In such cases, we arrange the schedule so that you can receive disinfection at a clinic near your home,
and then visit Mutoel on the day the sutures are removed.
- Closing

If you have everyday skin-related symptoms
or changes that keep recurring and bothering you,
after consulting with a dermatologist,
it is best to find a treatment direction that suits you.
From those who remember us from far away and come to visit,
to everyone who visits us for the first time,
the goal of Mutoel Plastic Surgery Clinic and Mutoel Dermatology is to provide an experience of “coming in discomfort and leaving more at ease.”
