Hi everyone, I'm Lu. I've been considering getting a skin treatment in Korea, but I'm honestly a little nervous because it involves airfare, accommodation, and taking time off work. I'm unsure how long I need to stay there. Is a week enough, or longer? I've heard some treatments require a few days' interval between sessions, but I'm not sure about the specifics.
Another issue is budget. I know beauty treatments in Korea are cheaper than in China, but with round-trip airfare and accommodation, the overall cost goes up. I'm a bit unsure how to plan this reasonably. Should I save up first, or do any of you have experience to share? For example, what season is the most cost-effective, or are there ways to control the overall expenses?
I'm also thinking, if the first treatment isn't satisfactory and I need adjustments or touch-ups, I'll have to go again, which will likely increase the cost even more. Has anyone experienced this and can offer some advice? Thank you all; I'm currently weighing the pros and cons and would like to hear your thoughts.

Louis, I understand! I was also full of anxiety at first. From my personal experience, a week should give you plenty of time to plan. Some procedures require a certain interval between them, so it's best to consult with the clinic beforehand. In terms of budget, you might want to consider aiming for an off-season or doing multiple procedures at once. It's reassuring to have a little extra money in your budget in case the first results aren't satisfactory 😊
Hi Lulu! I'm also from Taiwan, and I totally understand your concerns 😅 When I first came here, I was also struggling with how long to stay. Later I found that about a week is actually just right, but it really depends on the treatments you choose. Some treatments do have a few days' interval between sessions, so you might need to stay a few more days or allow time for your skin to recover. I suggest you make a list of the treatments you want to do first, and then inquire about the scheduling of those treatments. This will make it easier to plan your entire trip and budget!
