What is “SIA”? The brand philosophy
“SIA” comes from “Where Your Beauty Begins.”
SIA aims to help customers preserve their timeless elegance by respecting each person’s innate natural beauty, rather than transforming them into someone else.
SIA believes that true beauty isn’t just about changes reflected in the mirror—it’s the confidence that subtly permeates every choice you make and every significant moment, becoming the strength to face life with ease.
Introduction by Dr. Lee Yu-yeok, Director of SIA Shiya Dermatology in South Korea
Dr. Lee Yu-yeok currently serves as the director of the SIA Dermatology branch in Gangnam. He has previously held positions such as academic director at the Korean Association of Aesthetic Medicine, director of the Muse Dermatology branch in Gwangmyeong, and director of the Muse Dermatology branch in Gangnam. With extensive experience in clinical practice and management at large-chain dermatology clinics, he is now responsible for overseeing medical quality and treatment protocols at SIA.
Many clients who travel to South Korea for cosmetic treatments take the time to research the background and clinical experience of the lead doctor before making an appointment. Having worked at large chain Dermatology clinics for years, he was involved in various skin treatment and anti-aging procedures and was responsible for overseeing the quality of medical services and treatment processes within those clinics. As a result, many first-time visitors to South Korea ask about his availability when scheduling appointments. The actual treatment will still be determined based on individual skin conditions, specific treatment needs, and the doctor’s assessment on the day—whether it will be performed by Lead Doctor Lee Yu-yeol depends on the appointment arrangement and on-site decisions.

The Unique Features of Treatment at SIA Chiya Dermatology in South Korea
① Mark-Vu Skin Analysis
All clients who visit the clinic undergo a Mark-Vu skin imaging diagnosis (a quantitative analysis of 12 skin issues), with the data serving as the basis for designing treatment plans rather than relying solely on visual inspection.
② One-on-one consultation
A one-on-one consultation is conducted by the clinic director in a professional consultation room. After fully understanding your needs, budget, and concerns, you will be referred to the clinic owner for an in-person appointment.
③ Performed personally by the clinic director
From the initial consultation and treatment plan design to the actual procedure, everything is carried out by a experienced director. For procedures that require precise skills such as thread Lifting and Filler injections, the director personally performs the treatments to ensure both safety and optimal results.
④ Personalized treatment plan
Not everyone uses the same package. The clinic director creates a personalized combination based on test results, degree of aging, and treatment goals.
⑤ Independent Clinic
All 21 treatment rooms in the clinic are private suites, offering high levels of confidentiality. Patients can quickly fix their makeup after the procedure before heading out. With its independent suite design, each room ensures both privacy and comfort during treatment—a feature that SIA specifically highlights in its official introductions.

Is SIA Clinic in Dermatology worth a visit?
If you meet the following criteria, SIA is a great option worth considering:
- I hope the director performs the procedure personally, rather than having it assigned through a standard workflow.
- We place a strong emphasis on customized treatment plans—no fixed packages for us.
- Looking to try anti-aging lifting treatments, Filler injections, and thread lifting procedures
- Need to communicate in Chinese; hope the process is clear.
- I’m looking for a place with convenient transportation where I can get treated on weekends too.
If price is your only concern, or if you plan to undergo just a basic treatment course, it’s still a good idea to compare other Dermatology clinics as well before making a choice based on your budget and needs. Ultimately, whether it’s right for you depends on a comprehensive evaluation of your treatment goals, budget, and the recommendations from the attending physician.
