So Yang-hee

Dr. So Yang-hee, M.D. serves as Vice Director and Attending Physician at 815clinic in Apgujeong, Gangnam, Seoul. Known for her meticulous anatomical eye and gentle, patient-centered procedural technique, Dr. So focuses on restoring natural skin density, refined facial contours, and healthy dermal luminosity without artificial stiffness or over-correction.

At 815clinic, Dr. So upholds the clinic's core medical principles—Zero Over-Treatment, 1:1 Custom Aesthetic Design, Verified Genuine Devices & Tips, and Private Multi-Floor Care. She conducts thorough one-on-one consultations to evaluate each patient's dermal thickness, periorbital and perioral skin laxity, barrier sensitivity, and lifestyle recovery constraints before formulating a personalized treatment plan.

Clinical Philosophy & 1:1 Aesthetic Design

Dr. So Yang-hee approaches anti-aging and skin rejuvenation as a balance between structural support and dermal quality. Even when deep tissue laxity is lifted, tired or dehydrated superficial skin can obscure a youthful contour; conversely, surface skin boosters alone cannot correct sagging retaining ligaments.

Her clinical protocols integrate deep and superficial modalities with precision:

• Delicate Vector & Depth Control: When performing ultrasound or radiofrequency lifting, Dr. So carefully adjusts energy levels around thin-skinned zones such as the forehead, temples, under-eye area, and perioral lines to preserve natural facial expressions.
• Barrier-First Skin Rejuvenation: Before administering energy-based procedures or intradermal injectables, she assesses skin barrier integrity, redness, and sebum-moisture balance to minimize post-treatment irritation.
• Transparent Authenticity Verification: Patients verify sealed genuine Thermage FLX tips, Ultherapy transducers, and skin booster ampoules prior to every session.
• Comfort-Oriented Anesthesia & Recovery: Multi-stage topical numbing, cooling calibration, and 6F post-procedure soothing protocols are customized for pain-sensitive patients.
