How a first visit works
What happens differently in Korea
Korean skin clinics often move faster than clinics at home, and many treatments are done on the day of consultation. We slow the first visit down for foreign patients: everything is explained in your language, written down, and you can take time to decide.
-
Arrive and register
Bring your passport, fill in a medical form in your language and tell us about medicines, allergies and your travel dates.
-
Skin analysis and consultation
A doctor examines your skin, explains suitable options and downtime, and gives you a written plan and price.
-
Treatment and aftercare
If you go ahead, treatment is done in a private room, followed by written aftercare and WhatsApp follow-up.
