What we offer
Why visitors choose a dermatologist-led clinic
Korean clinics are known for up-to-date devices and natural-looking results, but quality varies. At our clinic, a board-certified dermatologist examines you and performs your treatment, and options are explained clearly so you can decide with full information. Our patients come from Asia, North America, Europe, the Middle East and beyond, with many skin tones and facial structures.
Our particular focus is non-surgical facial contouring, alongside full dermatology care. See also our English-speaking dermatologists page.
Treatments popular with international patients

- Acne and acne scar management
- Skin boosters such as Rejuran
Who we help
Tourists, business travellers and expats

Patients with darker skin should read our page on care for Black and melanin-rich skin, as laser choices may differ.

Recovery, flying and aftercare
Bruising and swelling after injectables usually settle within days to about two weeks; lasers may cause redness or peeling. Flying soon after many non-surgical treatments is generally acceptable, but your dermatologist will advise on timing for your specific plan.
Tell the doctor about medical conditions, medicines including blood thinners, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and previous fillers or threads. If a complication is suspected after you return home, contact us and see a local doctor promptly.
Aftercare tips
- Schedule higher-downtime treatments early in your trip
- Avoid saunas, jjimjilbang and alcohol for the advised period
- Use sunscreen and a hat while sightseeing after lasers
- Stay hydrated and moisturise on long flights
- Keep your aftercare instructions and clinic contact details
Questions we hear every day
Seoul Skin Clinic for Foreigners FAQ
How many days should I allow in Seoul?
For low-downtime treatments such as Botox, boosters or lifting devices, a few days is often enough. For filler or lasers that may bruise or peel, allowing about a week is more comfortable. Tell us your dates and we will suggest a realistic plan.
Can I fly after treatment?
After many non-surgical treatments, flying the next day is generally fine, though swelling can feel more noticeable on long flights. Your dermatologist will advise on timing for your treatment, especially after filler or lasers.
What if I have a problem after I go home?
Message us with photos and details, and seek a local doctor promptly for anything urgent, such as severe pain or skin colour change after filler. Keep your treatment record, which helps any doctor understand what was done.
Can I book without a consultation?
Treatment is decided after an in-person examination, because suitability depends on your skin on the day. You can, however, message us beforehand so we can reserve enough time and suggest likely options.
Do you treat different skin types and ethnicities?
Yes. We have treated international patients of many skin tones and facial structures since 2011. Laser settings and treatment choices are adapted to your skin type, and contouring goals are discussed with your own preferences in mind.
