About Dr. Shin-Young Cho

Dr Shin-Young Cho is a UK-trained Consultant Dermatologist with expertise in general dermatology, skin cancer, skin lesions and dermatological surgery. She undertook her medical training at the University of Cambridge and Imperial College London, followed by a sub-internship in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Harvard Medical School, where she achieved a distinction. She subsequently completed specialist dermatology training across hospitals in London and the South East and was awarded an NIHR Academic Clinical Fellowship for research in skin cancer and dermatology.

Her clinical practice encompasses conditions including acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, pigmentation and hair loss, alongside the assessment of suspicious moles and other skin lesions. She has particular expertise in mole assessment, dermoscopy, skin cancer diagnosis and surgical treatment of skin lesions.

Dr Cho takes a holistic, skin-health-first approach to her consultations, combining careful clinical assessment with dermoscopy and, where appropriate, biopsy or surgical treatment. She places importance on clear communication, ensuring patients understand their diagnosis and treatment options so that they can make informed decisions about their care.

Her academic interests include skin cancer and dermatology, supported by her experience as an NIHR Academic Clinical Fellow. Alongside her medical dermatology practice, she also has an interest in Korean aesthetic and regenerative dermatology, with experience in treatments including skin boosters, polynucleotides, collagen stimulators and laser treatments.

I've been seeing Dr Shin-Young Cho for a few years now and have always been impressed by her expertise, professionalism, and caring approach. She has helped me successfully manage both acne and rosacea, and my skin has improved significantly under her care. Dr Cho takes the time to understand your concerns and creates a personalised treatment plan that delivers real results. Thanks to her advice and treatments, my skin is clearer, calmer, and healthier than it has been in years. I've also noticed a remarkable improvement in my overall skin quality and rejuvenation. I would highly recommend Dr Shin-Young Cho to anyone looking for an experienced dermatologist for acne treatment, rosacea management, and skin rejuvenation. Her knowledge and attention to detail are exceptional.

Dr Cho analysed my personal patient history with much attention, explained her deductions in a way I could easily understand, performed a very thorough consultation, discussed with me the most appropriate therapy especially taking into account my personal needs, and even detected and corrected an inaccurate diagnosis for an additional problem that I had had from a less specialised public health practitioner. Would highly recommend.
