Founded in 1997 , Dr Ko Skin Specialist Centre stands among the pioneers in the field of dermatology and medical aesthetics in Malaysia .
The first clinic opened in Klang on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur after Dato ’ Dr Ko Chung Beng returned to Malaysia after years of working in the United Kingdom . He had initially settled into a role heading the dermatology department at Seremban Hospital in 1994 , but three years later gave in to the attraction of opening his own private practice .
Ko Skin is dedicated to the pursuit of self-enhancement through medical and cosmetic dermatology , aesthetic procedures , and laser treatments . It strives to provide advanced , proven technologies and innovative cosmetic procedures so that patients will always be assured of quality service from registered medical practitioners .
Over the years , the group has grown and matured to become Malaysia ’ s largest dermatology , laser , and medical aesthetic clinic and was even recognised as such by the Malaysia Book of Records .
The clinic regularly introduces new equipment , innovative dermatology , and medical aesthetic procedures . Above all , it continues to retain its sense of responsibility , medical ethics , and care for the well-being of its patients .
