Why Novella

A clinic built around continuity.

Dr. Jung Im No founded Novella Aesthetic Clinic to create a different kind of aesthetic experience: one in which the physician who listens to your goals is also the physician who evaluates, designs, and performs your treatment.

Her career spans more than 15 years across clinical medicine, medical aesthetics, physician education, research, and medical affairs in South Korea. That combination shaped a practice philosophy grounded in anatomy, safety, proportion, and restraint.

At Novella, Dr. No does not begin with a product or package. She begins with the person—how the face moves, what has changed, what still feels essential, and which concerns should be addressed first. Treatment can be staged so each decision remains clear and the result stays recognizably yours.

“Sometimes the most important part of an aesthetic consultation is deciding what not to do.”

— Dr. Jung Im No
