ClearMD Da Nang

A dermatology clinic in Da Nang’s An Thuong area

ClearMD is a medical dermatology and aesthetic dermatology clinic at 38–40 An Thuong 2, in Ngu Hanh Son Ward. This places it in the An Thuong area, a practical location for many international residents and visitors staying near My Khe Beach. The clinic publishes daily opening hours from 08:00 to 22:00 and offers one-to-one consultations in English, which may make the first clinical conversation easier for people who do not speak Vietnamese.

The distinction between a medical consultation and a cosmetic procedure matters. A changing mole, persistent rash, inflamed acne or suspected infection first requires an appropriate assessment; it should not automatically be approached as a beauty treatment. ClearMD describes a pathway that begins with examination and diagnosis, followed by a proposed treatment plan and follow-up. For an expatriate, that is a useful basis for asking what the clinician believes the condition is, what alternatives exist and what signs should prompt reassessment.

ClearMD says its clinical direction is led by dermatologist Dr Ngo Hong Phong, PhD, MD. The clinic was established in 2026, so travellers should focus on the individual clinician, the proposed procedure and the aftercare arrangements rather than interpreting a new clinic’s branding as evidence of a particular outcome.

Medical skin concerns and the first consultation

The clinic’s published scope includes consultation for skin concerns as well as treatment planning. Its service pages cover acne, acne-related pigmentation, unwanted pigmentation, warts and moles, alongside skin-rejuvenation procedures. The precise cause of a skin change cannot be determined from a service list. Acne-like eruptions, for example, may need a different approach from bacterial folliculitis, rosacea or irritation caused by a new sunscreen.

Bring a short history of when the problem began, any medicines and supplements you take, known allergies and the products currently used on the affected area. Photographs showing how a rash or lesion has changed can be useful, particularly if symptoms fluctuate. Mention recent sunburn, swimming, insect exposure, hotel products, hair removal, previous peels or laser treatment. People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking isotretinoin or using medicines that increase sun sensitivity should say so before discussing a procedure.

Ask the clinician to explain the working diagnosis in plain English, whether a test or referral is needed and how long a reasonable trial of treatment should last. If a lesion is changing in size, shape or colour, bleeding without a clear cause or failing to heal, the priority is diagnostic evaluation. Cosmetic removal should not replace assessment of a potentially significant lesion.

Procedures and technology available

ClearMD publishes a mixture of device-based and procedural services. These include IPL for acne and pigmentation, Pico laser, radiofrequency microneedling, HIFU, wart and mole removal, and skin-rejuvenation treatments. These names describe technologies, not a guarantee that one is suitable for every skin type or every concern. The consultation should establish the target condition, the exact device or technique proposed, expected downtime, common adverse effects, the number of sessions being suggested and who will perform the treatment.

For laser and light treatments, international patients should discuss their natural skin tone, recent tanning and history of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Ask whether a test area is appropriate and obtain written aftercare instructions that you can follow in Vietnam’s strong sun and humid climate. After some procedures, heat exposure, swimming, intense exercise or active skincare ingredients may need to be paused. The timing deserves particular attention if you are flying, diving, trekking or moving to another city soon afterwards.

Published prices can help with preliminary planning, but the final scope and fee may depend on the area treated and the clinical assessment. Confirm the full quotation before consenting, including consultation, anaesthetic if applicable, prescribed products, follow-up and management of a complication. Do not assume that an advertised starting price represents the complete course.

Readers comparing services can also consult Vietnam Clinic’s guides to dermatology clinics in Da Nang, acne treatment clinics in Da Nang and aesthetic clinics in Da Nang. These comparisons are useful for identifying alternatives; they do not replace an individual medical assessment.

Practical information for international patients

Appointments can be requested through the contact details or booking form on ClearMD’s official website. When booking in English, state whether you need a medical dermatology assessment or want to discuss a specific aesthetic procedure. Send photographs only through a channel the clinic confirms is appropriate, and remember that images alone may not be enough for diagnosis.

Before travelling to the clinic, reconfirm the appointment time, the clinician you will see and whether an English-speaking consultation is available for that slot. Bring identification, relevant medical records and the names or photographs of current medicines and skincare. If you have had a device treatment elsewhere, the date, device name, settings or treatment record can help avoid unsafe overlap. Arrive without heavy makeup over the area being assessed unless the clinic advises otherwise.

ClearMD lists the address as 38–40 An Thuong 2, Ngu Hanh Son Ward, Da Nang City and the telephone number 0932 539 199. Its published hours are 08:00–22:00 every day. Holiday schedules and clinician availability can change, so a same-day confirmation is sensible, especially for a visitor with limited time in Da Nang. The clinic does not publish verified information about international insurance direct billing. Ask your insurer in advance whether outpatient dermatology or elective aesthetic care is covered and request an itemised receipt if you plan to make a claim.

Consent, records and follow-up

A useful pre-procedure discussion should cover the proposed benefit, realistic limitations, material risks, alternatives and the option of doing nothing. Ask who will carry out each stage and what credentials are relevant to the procedure. If sedation, injections or removal of a lesion is proposed, clarify the method, sterility arrangements, specimen handling where relevant and how urgent questions are managed after closing time.

Keep copies of the consent form, treatment record, prescriptions and device details. International patients should also obtain a contact route for follow-up and ask what can be handled remotely if they leave Da Nang. A planned review is especially important after treatment for an active skin condition or after a procedure with meaningful downtime. If the clinic recommends a package, you can still decide session by session after considering response and adverse effects.

Avoid starting several new topical products at once immediately before the appointment, because this can obscure the cause of irritation. After treatment, follow the specific cleansing, moisturising and sun-protection instructions you receive. Seek prompt review for worsening pain, expanding redness, pus, fever, extensive blistering, marked swelling or an unexpected change in vision.

When a hospital is the better first destination

ClearMD is an outpatient dermatology clinic and should not be treated as an emergency department. Go to a hospital or call local emergency services for breathing difficulty, facial or throat swelling, fainting, a rapidly spreading severe reaction, extensive burns, major bleeding, severe eye involvement or high fever with a rapidly worsening rash. A widespread painful rash with blistering or involvement of the mouth or eyes also requires urgent medical assessment.

A hospital may also be more appropriate when a skin problem accompanies serious systemic illness, when intravenous treatment or inpatient monitoring might be needed, or when an injury requires broader surgical care. For stable concerns, ClearMD’s long daily schedule and published English consultation option provide a practical route to outpatient assessment. The safest choice still depends on urgency, the diagnosis under consideration and whether the clinic can provide the required examination, testing and follow-up.
