As a Consultant Dermatologist with extensive experience across medical, surgical, and advanced aesthetic dermatology, Dr Cho is able to offer patients a genuinely integrated approach to skin health – combining accurate diagnosis, procedural expertise, and evidence-based aesthetic care within a single practice. Patients benefit from Dr Cho’s extensive surgical background, having performed thousands of procedures including skin cancer excisions, mole removals, cyst and lipoma removals, and benign lesion surgery – experience that is seldom available within a private clinic setting. Clinically, she manages the full spectrum of skin disease, including acne (with prescribing rights for Isotretinoin), inflammatory conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and rosacea, hair loss, scar management, and rapid-access skin cancer screening with dermoscopy. In aesthetic dermatology, she specialises in Korean regenerative skin protocols, skin boosters, polynucleotides, collagen stimulators, laser treatments, and anti-wrinkle injectables – all delivered within a medically supervised, evidence-based framework. As a Korean-born, UK-trained Consultant Dermatologist, she brings a firsthand understanding of Korean dermatological science that very few practitioners in the UK are positioned to offer.

Education & Medical Background

Training & Rotation Experience: Following her undergraduate training at Cambridge and Imperial College London, Dr Cho undertook postgraduate medical and specialist dermatology training at leading NHS hospitals across London and the South East of England. She was awarded an NIHR Academic Clinical Fellowship for her research in skin cancer and dermatology, and represented the United Kingdom on the prestigious Euroderm Excellence Diploma programme – a distinction reserved for outstanding young dermatologists across Europe.

Transition into Specialism: During her specialist training, Dr Cho developed a particular clinical focus on skin oncology and procedural dermatology, accumulating extensive surgical experience in the NHS. Alongside her NHS work as a Consultant Dermatologist, she deepened her expertise in advanced aesthetic techniques – including Korean regenerative protocols and injectable treatments. Her clinical outlook is further shaped by a deep personal connection to Korean medical culture and its evidence-based approach to skin longevity and regeneration – an affinity rooted in both her Korean heritage and her professional training that, combined with her UK academic and clinical formation, gives her practice a perspective that is genuinely distinctive.
