Hi everyone, I'm Hong, from China. I'm currently considering getting a minor skin treatment in Korea, but to be honest, I'm a little worried about language barriers and information asymmetry. I'd like to ask if anyone here has experience as a foreigner visiting clinics in Korea? How did you find reliable places?

My biggest concern is communication, because medical terminology is really complex. Did anyone hire a translator themselves? Or do clinics offer Chinese consultations? I feel this is very important, because it's crucial to ensure the doctor truly understands your needs and physical condition. Are there any tips on how to assess a clinic's service attitude towards international patients when screening clinics?

Also, what questions should I ask during the initial consultation? I know different clinics will have different requirements, but is there a universal checklist for tests? Thank you for sharing your experiences!
