Hi everyone, I'm Fei. I'm planning a trip to Seoul for some skin treatments and possibly some aesthetic procedures, but I'm a bit worried about the language barrier. My English is okay, but not super fluent, and my Chinese is definitely fine. I wanted to ask if English or Chinese is sufficient for consultations at clinics in Seoul, or if I absolutely need Korean or a translator.

I've noticed some clinic websites seem to have information in Chinese or English, but I'm not sure if communication is actually possible in those languages during consultations and treatments. Have any of you been and can share your actual experiences? I'm particularly interested in the English proficiency of the doctors and staff, and whether it's necessary to arrange a translator in advance or prepare anything.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
