Frequently asked questions
How do I book an appointment?
Send a message on WhatsApp, LINE, WeChat or KakaoTalk with your preferred date. A coordinator replies with available times, usually within a few hours during opening hours.
What payment methods are accepted?
We accept international credit cards, Korean cards, cash in Korean won, Alipay and WeChat Pay.
Is a tax refund available?
Foreign visitors may be eligible for a VAT refund on certain cosmetic procedures. We issue the refund document at checkout, which you can process at the airport.
Will an interpreter be with me during consultation?
Yes. A coordinator joins your consultation if you prefer, and our doctors also speak English.
How do I reach the clinic about aftercare?
Message your coordinator on the same messenger you used to book. Photos are reviewed by a doctor when needed.
Do all Seoul skin clinics offer service in English?
No. Some clinics have staff who handle English messages and consultations, while others rely on translation apps or outside interpreters. It is reasonable to ask directly, in your first message, whether an English-speaking person will be present during the consultation itself, not only at the front desk.
Can a clinic tell me what treatment I need from my photos?
Photos can help a clinic give a rough idea of options, but they are not a diagnosis. A doctor usually needs to see and examine your skin in person, review your history, and then decide whether a treatment is suitable for you.
Is it safe to have a skin procedure right before a long flight?
It depends on the procedure and on how your skin reacts. Some treatments may cause redness, swelling, or sensitivity for several days, so ask the doctor how much time they suggest between treatment and departure for your specific case.
Patient guides
- How do you book a Seoul skin clinic in English, and what should your first message say?Many Seoul skin clinics accept bookings in English through WhatsApp, email, Instagram messages, KakaoTalk, or LINE, usually handled by a coordinator rather than the doctor. A short, specific first message that states your concern, your dates, and your language needs often leads to a more useful reply.
- What should you send a Seoul skin clinic before you arrive?Sending clear photos and an honest health summary ahead of time lets the clinic spot obvious issues and prepare language support. These details help with planning only, and a doctor's in-person assessment still decides what, if anything, is suitable for you.
- What is an English consultation like, and how can you check the doctor understood you?Consultations for English speakers may involve a doctor who speaks English, a bilingual coordinator, or a medical interpreter sitting in. Whichever setup you get, a few habits help you confirm that the doctor understood your concern and that you understood the plan.
- How should you read a consent form at a Seoul skin clinic if you do not read Korean?Ask for an English version of the consent form, or a verbal walk-through of each section, and do not sign anything you have not understood. Taking time with this document is a normal part of the process, not an inconvenience to the clinic.
