Blood Testing Services at Yeongjong Central Dermatology Clinic, Incheon
Accurate Laboratory Testing to Support Dermatologic Diagnosis and Treatment
Blood tests are an essential part of comprehensive skin and health evaluations, helping dermatologists uncover underlying causes of various skin conditions and monitor treatment safety. At Yeongjong Central Dermatology Clinic, we offer in-house and partnered diagnostic laboratory testing for accurate, fast, and patient-friendly blood analysis to support safe and effective dermatologic care.
Understanding the Role of Blood Tests in Dermatology
Many chronic or treatment-resistant skin conditions—such as acne, hair loss, eczema, pigmentation disorders, or sudden rashes—can be influenced by internal health factors. Blood tests provide valuable information about hormonal balance, immune responses, liver function, inflammation levels, and potential allergies.
Blood tests are commonly recommended for individuals who:
- Are starting prescription medications like isotretinoin (Accutane)
- Have unexplained or chronic skin conditions requiring further investigation
- Experience sudden changes in skin, hair, or nails with no clear cause
- Need hormone, thyroid, allergy, or vitamin level assessments
These tests ensure safe treatment decisions and reveal contributing factors that may not be visible on the skin’s surface.
Consultation at Yeongjong Central
All blood tests are ordered following a dermatologist consultation and are tailored to your medical and dermatologic needs:
- In-depth evaluation of your symptoms and skin history
- Identification of necessary tests (e.g., liver function, hormones, inflammation markers)
- Coordination with current medications or planned procedures
- Clear explanation of what each test means and how it will guide your care
Common Blood Tests Offered
- Liver and Kidney Function Tests
Required before and during medications like isotretinoin, these assess how well your body can process oral treatments. - Hormonal Panels (e.g., Androgens, Estrogen, LH/FSH)
Useful for patients with adult acne, hair loss, or suspected hormonal imbalances—especially in women with irregular menstrual cycles or PCOS symptoms. - Thyroid Function Tests (TSH, Free T3, Free T4)
Thyroid issues can contribute to dry skin, hair thinning, or sudden skin changes, especially in women. - Inflammation and Autoimmune Markers
Tests like ESR or ANA may be ordered for patients with chronic rashes, eczema, or suspected autoimmune skin conditions. - Vitamin and Mineral Levels
Deficiencies in vitamins such as B12, D, zinc, or iron can influence acne, pigmentation, and hair health.
