Doctors
Jang Ju-wangRepresentative director
Kim Do-hyunDirector
Korea's HIRA registry (Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service) lists 1 doctor at Louave Skin Clinic, a dermatology specialist: 1 board-certified dermatologist (October 2026). HIRA does not publish names.
The clinic's website names two doctors, and says both are board-certified dermatologists:
- Dr. Jang Ju-wang (장주왕), representative director. The clinic describes Dr. Jang as a board-certified dermatologist and lists a degree from Hanyang University College of Medicine and dermatology training at Hanyang University Hospital. HIRA does not say which of the two doctors is the registered one; the representative director is the likelier.
- Dr. Kim Do-hyun (김도현), director. The clinic's website also calls Dr. Kim a board-certified dermatologist. HIRA's count of 1 doctor does not cover a second dermatologist, so this listing shows that title as the clinic's statement only.
HIRA's count is 1; this listing uses it. Ask the clinic which doctor will treat you.
