Girls with sensitive skin really have it tough. While others can beautify themselves however they want, we spend half a year just trying to find a facial cleanser that isn’t irritating. Not to mention getting cosmetic procedures—every time we muster the courage to get a hyaluronic acid injection, we end up with an allergic reaction or redness, and it takes a whole week for our skin to recover.
I am one of those who has suffered from sensitive skin for a long time. My skin’s barrier has been damaged for over three years, and I’ve tried countless products and treatments. Until a friend recommended Cheongtan Antian Dermatology—they named their clinic “Anti-an,” which I guess means “anti-sensitive skin.” They specialize in treating all kinds of sensitive skin issues.
In this article, I will share everything about this amazing clinic that specializes in helping people with sensitive skin, starting with how to make an appointment.
🏥 What is Cheongtan Antian Dermatology?
📍 Basic Information about the Clinic
Cheongtan Antian Dermatology is located in Cheongtan-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. As its name suggests, it is a specialized clinic that focuses on repairing sensitive skin and restoring the skin’s barrier.
- Address: Cheongtan-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (Detailed Korean address provided after making an appointment)
- Transportation: About 5 minutes walk from Apgujeok Station on the Bundang Line, or about 8 minutes walk from Daogok Station
- Opening Hours: 10:00~19:00 (Monday to Friday), 10:00~17:00 on Saturdays (Closed on Sundays)
- Specialized Departments: Sensitive Skin Treatment, Rosacea Therapy, Barrier Repair Center
- Featured treatments: barrier repair therapy, hypoallergenic hyaluronic acid injections, redness-relieving lasers, SVF repair.
🌟 Why do so many people with sensitive skin recommend Antian?
Typically, dermatologists start with a skin check before recommending any treatment. But at Antian Dermatology, the approach is completely opposite—they first assess whether your skin is suitable for treatment and what intensity of treatment is necessary.
When I first went there, the director looked at my face and said right away, “In your current condition, you can’t undergo any laser treatments. Let’s focus on repairing your skin for three months first.”
At that time, I was actually disappointed—I had traveled all the way to Korea, and they weren’t even going to treat me? But looking back now, that decision saved my skin. If I had insisted on having the laser treatments, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

📲 Complete guide to how to make an appointment at Cheongtan Antian Dermatology
💬 Method 1: Official LINE/KakaoTalk appointment booking (recommended ⭐)
This is the fastest and most reliable way. Antian has official KakaoTalk and LINE accounts, and responses are usually given within 2 hours during business days.
Appointment process:
- Search for “antian dermatology” or scan the QR code provided by the clinic.
- Send a message in the following format: “Reservation + Name + Service desired + Desired date and time.”
- The customer service will respond with available appointment times (usually offering 2–3 options to choose from).
- After confirmation, you will receive a reservation confirmation via text message.
💡 Tip: If it’s your first visit, remember to mention “foreigner/Taiwanese”, and they will assign a staff member with experience using translation software to assist you.
🌐 Option 2: Online reservation through the official website
Antian’s official website offers an online reservation form (available in Traditional Chinese). The steps are as follows:
- Visit the official website → Click on “예약” (Reservation)
- Fill in basic information (name, phone number, email address)
- Choose the department you wish to visit (sensitive skin treatment/laser beauty/injection procedures)
- Choose the desired date and time.
- After submitting, wait for confirmation (usually within 1 working day).
📞 Option three: Telephone reservation.
- Telephone number: will be provided after reservation.
- Service hours: 09:00~18:00 (Korean time).
- Language: Mainly Korean, but basic English is also acceptable.
⚠️ The downside of telephone reservations is that communication may be difficult if there is a language barrier. If your Korean is not good enough, it is recommended to use text messages for reservation.
⏰ Best times to reserve
From my experience, appointments with Antian’s director are very popular, especially:
- Saturday mornings (popular among working people) → It is recommended to reserve 2~3 weeks in advance.
- At the beginning and end of each month (after paydays) → It is recommended to book 2 weeks in advance.
- During Korean public holidays → It is recommended to book 3–4 weeks in advance.
For regular times (Tuesday to Thursday afternoons), it is usually possible to get a reservation 3–5 days in advance.
🚫 How to avoid extra fees charged by intermediaries?
This is extremely important!! Many Taiwanese girls use intermediaries to schedule medical treatments in Korea, but intermediaries often charge a 10%–30% service fee. Moreover, the clinics recommended by intermediaries may not necessarily be the best fit for you.
❌ Traps associated with using intermediaries for reservations
- Intermediary fees: Although they claim “free reservations,” the actual clinic prices already include these fees.
- Bundle deals: Intermediaries may require you to spend a certain amount before you can get the “discounted price.”
- Information asymmetry: Intermediaries may not know the details about your skin condition and might recommend inappropriate treatments.
- Lack of support after treatment: If problems arise, intermediaries will not help, and the clinic will claim you are not their direct client.
✅ Benefits of direct booking
- Transparent prices: You pay the standard clinic rate, with no additional fees
- Direct communication: You can contact the clinic directly if you have any questions
- Building a relationship: As a direct customer, you may be eligible for discounts on future treatments
- Accurate information: The clinic is familiar with their services and doctors, so they can provide more accurate recommendations
🛡️ Step-by-step guide for direct booking
For example, here’s how I actually booked directly at Cheongtan Antian Dermatology:
- Search for “Antian Dermatology” on Naver to find their official website
- Go to the booking page on the official website (which offers Chinese options)
- Fill in my basic information and requirements (first consultation for sensitive skin treatment)
- The next day, I received an confirmation email stating what documents to bring.
- I arrived on time that day, and my appointment was already recorded at the front desk.
The whole process took no more than 10 minutes—really simple. There’s no need to spend thousands of dollars in fees for something you can do yourself.

🏥 The complete process for a first visit: from entry to exit
📋 Step 1: Check-in (5 minutes)
At the clinic front desk, present your passport and the staff will handle the registration. On your first visit, you’ll need to fill out a detailed questionnaire, including:
- Basic information (age, occupation, contact details)
- History of skin conditions (allergies, previous treatments)
- Current skincare products and medications being used
- Main Concerns and Expected Outcomes
🔬 Step 2: Skin Analysis (15–20 minutes)
This is the part of Antian Dermatology that impressed me the most. The skin analysis instruments they use don’t just take pictures; they also measure the following:
- Transcutaneous Water Loss (TEWL) → To assess the degree of barrier damage
- Skin pH level → To check if the acidity or alkalinity is normal
- Erythema index → To quantify the degree of inflammation
- Sensitivity threshold test → To determine how sensitive your skin really is
These quantitative test results are a hundred times more reliable than any visual diagnosis.
👨⚕️ Step 3: Personal Consultation with the Director (20–30 minutes)
The director will explain each aspect of your skin condition based on the test results. Here were my results that time:
- TEWL levels are 3 times the normal value → The barrier function is severely damaged.
- pH of 6.2 → Slightly alkaline (the normal range is 4.5 to 5.5).
- Elevated erythema index → Subclinical inflammation is present.
The director’s treatment plan is: no invasive procedures initially, but instead, using medical-grade skincare products for 4 weeks combined with in-hospital repair treatments to lay a solid foundation.
💆 Step 4: Initial treatment/management
Depending on individual circumstances, the initial treatment may include:
- Soothing and calming treatments for skin experiencing an allergic reaction
- Light exfoliation for skin with thickened stratum corneum
- Medical-grade deep hydration for extremely dry skin
- Or—in my case—pure consultation and prescription only, with no actual treatment performed that week.
