About Dr. Hongseok Kim

Dr. Kim focuses on aesthetic dermatology — skin regeneration, facial contour and healthy ageing — and builds each plan from a close look at the individual patient's skin and goals, aiming for natural, refined results.

At VOS the same specialist is responsible for the whole course of care: diagnosis, the procedure itself and follow-up. An accurate reading of skin structure and how it changes is what makes results more complete and keeps the risk of side effects low.
