Dr. Lee Eun-ji is the lead director of Dana Dermatology Myeongdong (단아피부과 / DAN-A CLINIC), the clinic that has held its Myeongdong address for over 14 years. For anyone evaluating a medical-aesthetics trip to Korea, the director’s training, brand authorizations, and treatment style tend to matter far more than marketing language. Below is a consolidated profile of Dr. Lee Eun-ji and the clinic’s standout features, to help you prepare before booking a consultation.
Education and Training
Dr. Lee graduated from [Inje University] College of Medicine and completed her specialist training at [Inje University Sanggye Paik Hospital], earning a Master of Medical Science. She continues to serve as an external physician at Sanggye Paik Hospital. Inje University has a long-standing reputation in Korean medicine, with alumni across major hospitals and specialty clinics. Completing training in such a system means her clinical foundation is more rigorous than what is typical for a private aesthetic clinic.
On the academic side, Dr. Lee currently serves as [Academic Director of the Korean Society of Obesity & Aesthetics] and is a [Founding Academic Director of the Korean Society of Tattoo and Piercing]. She is also a full member of the [Korean Academy of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and Laser Medicine], the [Korean Society for the Study of Obesity], and the [Korean Hyaluronic Acid Society]. Holding academic roles across multiple specialty societies indicates meaningful influence within the field, beyond day-to-day clinical work.
Current Roles and Authority
Dr. Lee currently holds three core positions:
· [Lead Director, Dana Dermatology Myeongdong] — Directly leads the clinic’s medical team, responsible for treatment planning and quality control.
· [Merz Aesthetics Certified Key Doctor] — Official Key Doctor for Ultherapy (US ultrasound), Belotero, Xeomin, Radiesse, and other Merz brands.
· [Wontech Certified Key Doctor] — Official Key Doctor for Oligio Thermage, Titan ultrasound, and other Wontech brands.
Taken together, these roles mean Dr. Lee is not just a treating physician but a [core instructor who trains other physicians] for multiple international brands. Her understanding of devices and injectables extends well beyond “knows how to use them.”
Experience Highlights
Dr. Lee brings [15+ years of injectable and anti-aging experience] and is among the [first generation of Korean physicians to use Radiesse (Sculptra) and Belotero]. Both products have been on the Korean market for roughly 15 years; she has been using and clinically researching them since the early days, giving her unusually deep familiarity with material behavior, injection depth, and combination protocols.
Ulthera has been on the Korean market for 14 years, and Dr. Lee has been performing it for the same 14 years. In an ultrasound-lifting field where experience is the dominant variable, her tenure essentially mirrors the technology’s history in Korea — a strong credential.
Treatment Philosophy and Style
Dr. Lee’s hands-on style has several distinctive features:
· [Precise shot-to-tissue matching in ultrasound lifting]: She watches the device screen throughout treatment, ensuring each shot lands on the correct fascial and fat layers, never wasting a purchased shot. She swaps transducers and adjusts energy by zone, avoiding overtreatment and skin damage.
· [Meticulous injection control]: When injecting Rejuran, she changes to a fresh needle after every 1cc to reduce the pain and tissue trauma of dull needles. For Juvederm and other hyaluronic acid fillers, the nurse hands the needle from behind the patient so the patient never sees the needle and feels less anxious.
· [Personalized design]: Before treatment, she explains the injection layer and plan in detail and adjusts the dose flexibly — if a localized 200-shot plan can deliver the result, she does not push a full-face package.
Areas of Expertise
Dr. Lee’s strengths cover [skin rejuvenation/anti-aging] and [injectable aesthetics]. The table below summarizes her main areas:
| Field | Representative Treatment | Strength |
