FOUNDER · METHOD ARCHITECT

Han Cheong Woo

Wanting to provide better scar care, Han Cheong Woo built his own measuring device. While treating scars at RECOVER Clinic, he designed the device and review screen to record the same site under consistent conditions. He combines surface measurements with his examination to choose treatment methods and their sequence.

What we look at

RECOVER Clinic Gangnam is a Korean medicine clinic treating scars on the fifth floor of Buil Tower, in front of Seolleung Station Exit 7.

The device measures surface depressions, while the doctor examines scar edges, tethering and skin response. He selects the methods and sequence from Saesalchim, laser and needle RF, then compares records under consistent conditions at follow-up. Take home a 3D scar record with an explanation after your first consultation.

Clinical experience continues through the name and address change

RECOVER Clinic Gangnam is the same business and medical institution continued from Gyurim Korean Medicine Clinic under a new name and address. Han Cheong Woo's ten years of scar and skin-recovery practice and the clinical records from before the name change remain on one institutional line.

Records from before the name change include cases with confirmed treatment timing, procedures, capture conditions, and patient publication consent, and are published separately from current Gangnam records and capture standards.

A verifiable clinical career timeline

  1. Education · credential
    Master's degree, Kyung Hee University Graduate School · Korean Medicine Doctor licence no. 24718

    The degree and the national licence are published with the same content wherever they are checked.

  2. 10 years of clinical practice
    Scar and skin-recovery practice continued from Gyurim Korean Medicine Clinic

    Clinical experience from before the name change and records with verified publication consent are maintained separately from current records.

  3. 2026
    RECOVER Gangnam established through a name and address change of the same business

    Clinical records continuing from Gyurim Korean Medicine Clinic remain in the same record flow in Gangnam.

Han Cheong Woo's clinical standards

01We begin with a same-condition baseline

We match lighting, angle, distance and expression for the first record, then compare the same area next time.

02Treatment begins after the skin has calmed

Heat, discharge, rapidly increasing redness, and strong residual reactions after a recent procedure are reviewed first.

03The plan follows response, not a fixed session count

The initial plan is not treated as a fixed prescription; it is adjusted after reviewing the actual skin response and the next same-condition record.

From the consultation room to an instrument he built

01 · Wanting to treat scars better

While treating scars, Dr. Han wanted to see with patients what had changed and what remained after treatment. That question led him to develop the instrument.

02 · The same area, under the same conditions

He designed the lighting, controller and viewing interface. Below are an actual scar capture and the 3D surface reconstructed from that capture.

03 · Using the record to plan treatment

After measuring surface depressions, the doctor examines scar borders, tethering and skin response. He explains the treatment methods and sequence suited to the current condition and shares the 3D Scar Record. At the next visit, records taken under the same conditions are compared.

Research builds the standard

To explain more precisely why scars become indented and firm, and why redness and pigmentation linger, RECOVER publishes a skin-recovery research record. This research sharpens the consultation standard.

Map your scar recovery direction first

Have your scars measured and take home your 3D Scar Record with the treatment methods and sequence chosen by the clinician.
