DermaRadar Transparency
A transparent explanation of what DermaRadar collects and how content is classified and ranked.
We use only posts published by medical institutions on their public accounts, together with publicly available advertising information. We do not collect posts from personal accounts, nor private accounts, DMs, contact details, or other non-public information. Cards link to the original post when available.
We count paid clinic advertising separately from the ordinary posts clinics publish on their own accounts. Since August 2026 we no longer collect or display personal treatment reviews — even on public posts, who received which treatment is sensitive health information.
Korean, Japanese, English, and Chinese keywords in captions and hashtags can assign up to three treatments per post. Areas are assigned to Gangnam, Myeongdong, or Hongdae only with clear evidence; otherwise they remain unconfirmed.
Ranking considers public views, likes, saves, and recency while reducing repeated exposure from one account. Weekly Radar compares new posts, ads, active accounts, and treatment mentions on a Monday-based week.
We use only the minimum information needed to analyze public content. Admin tools do not retain passwords in URLs and are separated behind a short-lived, server-issued protected session.
Automated labels can be wrong and counts may change by collection time. DermaRadar is not a medical provider and does not recommend, book, or broker treatments. Confirm price, suitability, outcomes, and risks with a qualified medical provider.
If a post from your account appears here and you would rather it did not, or if you believe your copyright, likeness, or other rights have been infringed, let us know. We will exclude the account from future collection and delete the stored data and images we hold.
We will review and act within 10 days of receiving your request and tell you the outcome using the contact details you provide.
