Language barrier at consultations in Seoul - how much English is actually spoken?

Hey everyone! I'm planning a trip to Seoul in a few months to explore some aesthetic treatments, and I'm getting a bit nervous about the language thing. I speak English and a tiny bit of Korean (like, really tiny lol), and I'm wondering if anyone else has dealt with this?

I've seen some clinics that say they have English-speaking staff, but I'm not sure how common that actually is or how well it works in practice. Like, is it easy to find places where consultations happen in English, or should I really try to brush up on my Korean first? I'm also wondering if bringing a translator app or getting a friend who speaks Korean to come with me would be smart.

Has anyone here done consultations in Seoul without speaking fluent Korean? What was your experience like? Any tips on how to make sure you're understanding everything the doctor is saying when there's a language gap? I want to feel confident and informed before making any decisions, so communication is super important to me.

Thanks in advance! 💕
