What to Expect During Your First Korean Skin Clinic Visit ✨🇰🇷

So, you’ve landed in Korea and heard all the hype about the amazing skin clinics. You’re ready for that famous “glass skin,” but wait… how does it actually work?

Here’s a breakdown of what to expect when you visit a Korean skin clinic for the first time — from check-in to checkout.

1. Booking an Appointment — Call, Kakao, or Walk-In?

Most clinics require advance booking.
- You can book via KakaoTalk, phone, or sometimes Instagram DMs.
- Some popular clinics offer English-friendly booking, especially in Seoul.
- Walk-ins? Possible, but hit or miss depending on time and location.

Pro Tip: Look for clinics with "외국인 진료 가능" (Foreigner-friendly treatment) on Naver or Google.

2. Arriving at the Clinic — Don’t Expect a Spa Vibe

Korean skin clinics look clinical — white walls, lab coats, and skincare gadgets.
- You’ll likely fill out a medical form (in Korean or English).
- Bring your passport or ARC, especially if you want a tax refund.

Expect efficiency, not small talk.

3. Skin Consultation — Science Meets Skin Goals

Most clinics analyze your skin first (often with a scanning machine).
You’ll discuss:
- Skin concerns
- Your current skincare routine
- Recommended treatments

Tip: Be honest about allergies or sensitivities!

4. The Treatment — Painless, Precise, Powerful

You might experience:
- Deep cleansing
- LED therapy
- Aqua peeling or scaling
- Laser treatments
- Hydration facials

Most treatments are gentle with minimal downtime.

5. Post-Treatment — What Happens After?

- You’ll usually get a calming cream or mask after.  
- Avoid sun, hot showers, or active skincare for 1–2 days.  
- Pay with card. Ask about VAT refunds.

Expect to leave looking better, not red.

6. How Much Does It Cost?

Rough average:
- Consultation: ₩0–₩20,000  
- Facial: ₩50,000–₩100,000  
- Laser: ₩100,000–₩250,000  
- Packages = better deals

Tip: Some clinics offer discounts for cash.
