Mar 19, 2025
Professor Heo Chang-hoon of the Department of Dermatology at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital was inaugurated as the 16th president of the Korean Society of Dermatology and Surgery at the 30th symposium held at St. Mary's Hospital in Seoul on the 16th. The term of office is two years.
The Korean Society of Dermatology is the only dermatology research society in Korea that was founded in 1995 and celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, and it is leading the standard of dermatology treatment by covering not only various cosmetic dermatology such as botulinum toxin, filler, laser, and scar treatment, but also skin cancer treatment and surgery such as benign and malignant tumors.
In 2015, it expanded its horizons and developed into an international conference by organizing and successfully hosting the World Society of Dermatology and Surgery.
In addition, the Korean Academy of Skin Surgeons provided systematic and practical educational programs such as live demonstrations and workshops every year so that beginners in skin surgery can learn basic skills. In 2006, for the first time in Korea, the textbook 'Skin Surgery' containing what must be studied and known as a dermatologist was published. In 2023, a new revised edition of the third edition was published, and the anatomical contents, treatment, and cosmetic surgery techniques of skin surgery were summarized to ensure that essential knowledge and the latest knowledge were well communicated to the medical field.
Meanwhile, Heo Chang-hoon, the new chairman of the Korean Academy of Dermatology Surgery, graduated from Seoul National University School of Medicine and obtained a master's and doctoral degree from the graduate school, and is an authority who has been recognized for his high expertise in skin surgery at home and abroad over the past 20 years.
He cited 'Enhancing the international status of dermatology and expanding research and development of the latest treatment technologies' as his main goals during his term in office.
As Korean medical device companies have recently become more active in the global market, they plan to continue to raise the level of treatment by introducing new scientific technologies such as cell therapy in the field of tumor skin surgery.
Chairman Huh Chang-hoon said, "The Korean field of tumor skin surgery started slightly later than that of cosmetic skin surgery, but now it is one of the fastest growing fields due to the introduction of advanced treatment technologies and active overseas exchanges. We will work hard to create a medical environment in which dermatologists can exercise their abilities with pride centered on the society."
