I have never had any skin treatment. What should I book first?
Book the diagnosis and nothing else. The scan and the consultation are the appointment; whether a treatment follows in the same visit is decided inside it. Arriving with a treatment already chosen is the commonest way a first visit goes wrong, because the choice was made without the reading that should have informed it.
How much does a first skin treatment in Korea cost at Dear Clinic?
Every figure comes from one published card, and eight representative lines are in the rate table above. The same list applies to residents and to international patients, with no foreign-patient surcharge. Korean won is what you pay and the USD column is an approximate reference. Your own total is itemised after the scan and agreed before anything starts.
Will I be pushed into buying more than I came for?
The structural answer is the order of the visit: the scan is read before a figure is named, the plan is written line by line, and you agree to it before anything is prepared. Some consultations here end with a written plan and no procedure at all. Ask what each line does and what happens if you remove it.
What actually happens during the EVE Muse scan?
You sit at the unit and it captures your face in three dimensions under five light sources, with AI analysis producing a reading of pigment, texture, pores and redness. It takes minutes, nothing touches your skin, and the images go on screen for the consultation. It is the part first-time patients find least intimidating and most useful.
What should I bring with me to the appointment?
Photo identification, a photograph of your current medication and supplements, and the approximate dates of any toxin, filler or laser work in the past two years. Say whether you scar or keloid, whether marks linger after spots heal, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding. That last group changes a plan more than anything else you can tell us.
Can I have a treatment on the same day as my first consultation?
Often yes, where the scan, the examination and your history agree, and many first visits are completed in one appointment. Where your skin is inflamed, where medication interferes, or where the sensible sequence starts with a different route, treatment is scheduled for another day and the plan goes on your record.
Do I need to speak Korean to be treated here?
No. Consultations are held in English, Spanish-language support is available, and written aftercare instructions are given in English for the treatment you had. Prepare descriptions instead of product names: the same material is sold under different names in different markets, and describing the result you want travels better than a brand does.
How far in advance should I book if I am visiting Seoul?
Message before you fly and send photographs with your dates. The reply will tell you whether your window is realistic, which matters most when a plan turns out to need a series. Weekend slots fill first. Putting the diagnosis early in a trip leaves room for the treatment and for a look before you go home.
Does a first treatment hurt, and will I look treated afterwards?
It depends entirely on the route, which is why it is discussed after the plan exists. Energy treatments commonly leave brief redness and a tight feeling; injected work can leave small bruises or swelling at entry points. Your director describes what your own plan is likely to look like that evening, and any comfort measures are confirmed at the consultation.
Is one session ever enough?
For some routes yes, and for others the single session is the first of a series by design. Toning is priced by the session for exactly that reason, and boosters are planned as a course. A clear way to ask it at the consultation: how many visits does this plan assume, and what does one visit on its own achieve?
What if I decide against everything once I hear the plan?
You leave with the written plan and nothing is done. The plan stays on your record, so a later visit starts from the same reading instead of beginning again. Declining after a consultation is an ordinary outcome here and does not change how you are treated if you come back.
What happens after the treatment, and after I go home?
You are given written aftercare for what was actually performed, and follow-up contact is standard practice. Written questions are answered in English once you have left the country, and photographs help. What cannot be done remotely is an examination, which is the argument for a short review while you are still here.
