After treatment, sun protection and briefly avoiding heat, alcohol and intense exercise are commonly advised.
Frequently asked questions
How do I book an appointment from overseas?
Message us in English on WhatsApp at +82-10-9052-6024 or via KakaoTalk at pf.kakao.com/_SbdEX. Share your concerns, photos and travel dates, and we will suggest a consultation time at our Apgujeong clinic.
Will I be able to talk to the doctor in English?

What forms of payment do you accept?
Please ask us on WhatsApp for current payment information before your visit, so the details you receive are accurate and up to date. We would rather confirm this directly than risk giving outdated information here.
Can I get a quote before I arrive?

What should I bring to my appointment?
Bring photo ID such as your passport, a list of medications and allergies, and photos or notes about previous aesthetic treatments. Knowing your departure date also helps Dr. Song plan.
