Sisters, I'm planning to get some minor cosmetic procedures done in Korea next month and I'm already starting to worry about post-procedure care back home. I've heard those first few days are super important, so I wanted to ask what everyone usually stocks up on beforehand.
I was thinking of bringing back some cooling masks and soothing gels. Also, those silicone scar sheets – I'm not sure if I need to buy them in advance. I'm worried I won't be able to find suitable ones in China, or that the quality will be inconsistent. Has anyone who's been before shared their experience and what kind of care products they brought back?
Also, I wanted to ask if these items absolutely have to be bought in Korea? Or are there similar products available in China that would work? I don't know much about post-procedure care and I'm a bit worried about buying the wrong things. Can anyone offer some advice?

I have the same concerns! I think it would be more reassuring to buy some calming masks and gentle gels domestically before I go, because at least then you know what you've used. Korean products are indeed very good, but during those first few days after the procedure, I might not have time to go shopping for things. It's better to prepare things that are familiar and easy to use in advance for peace of mind.
Did you already have a specific type of procedure in mind? I'm trying to figure out what to prep for on my trip next month, and I'm wondering if the aftercare stuff really differs that much depending on what you get done.
I completely understand your concerns! I felt the same way last time I went, but I found out there's no need to be too nervous. Korea really has a wide selection of skincare products, and you can also ask the medical staff for recommendations on-site. However, I did bring back some soothing masks and hydrating products for myself, because some items might not be exactly the same as what you can find in Taiwan. But it's not essential to buy them; it mainly depends on what products you're used to using!
