Fast, pain free results
What is Acne?
Acne is a skin condition that develops when hair follicles become clogged with excess oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria. This can result in blackheads, whiteheads, red spots (papules and pustules), or even large, painful cysts. While acne often starts during puberty due to hormonal changes, it can persist into adulthood, especially among individuals with oily or acne-prone skin.
Factors such as hormonal imbalances, environmental triggers, and genetic predisposition can all contribute to developing acne. Increased androgen levels stimulate sebaceous glands, leading to excessive sebum production and blocked pores, which may allow acne-causing bacteria like C. acnes to thrive, causing inflammation.
Whether dealing with oily skin, persistent acne, or adult acne, our approach focuses on addressing the root causes of acne while improving overall skin health.

Rated 5 star by hundred’s of people across the UK, USA and Korea...
The staff was welcoming, and the therapist was knowledgeable and attentive. The clinic is clean and modern, and I am very pleased with my treatment results. Highly recommend!
I had a great experience here at Dr Jinah Yoo! I had the ‘brightening’ treatment after having too much sunburn on my summer vacation, and it really helped. The process was very enjoyable thanks to the skillful and gentle practitioner. I will come back in the future if I have any needs for skin improvements!
A perfect experience! I had the Dermal Tightening Programme which is for lift up. The therapist is very professional and the environment is also very helpful for relaxing. Nice location as well.
Absolutely love the place. Had some moles removed from my face by Dr Yoo. A week later there is not the slightest indication that there was ever even anything there. Results are incredible.
