Has anyone else encountered language barriers when visiting aesthetic clinics in Seoul?
Hi, my name is Oil and I'm Thai. I'm planning a trip to Seoul soon for aesthetic treatments. The problem is, I'm not sure if I'll be able to communicate effectively during consultations with the doctors. I can speak English reasonably well, but not in-depth, and I barely know any Korean.
So, I wanted to ask about your experiences if you've been to Seoul. Do most clinics support English well? Or do I need to hire an interpreter? I'm worried about not being able to communicate what I want and regretting it if the doctor misunderstands my requests.
Does anyone have any tips or good experiences to share? Thank you so much!

Not sure which clinic to choose?

Hi, I totally understand your concern! When I first went, I chose a place that had a Thai translator app, which really helped with communication. It's a good idea to look for a clinic with English-speaking staff or find a translator to assist. The most important thing is to make sure you clearly communicate your needs!
Oh, Oil! I'm Thai too 😊 Have you tried looking for clinics that have English-speaking staff? I've seen some that offer translation services.
