Hello everyone! I'm Maya from Jakarta, and I'm seriously considering an aesthetic treatment consultation in Seoul next year. But honestly, I'm a bit nervous about the language barrier. My English is decent, but of course, it's not comparable to a native speaker.
So my question is: can clinics in Seoul handle consultations in English? Or should I prepare myself by learning basic Korean first? I'm worried that important details might be missed due to miscommunication, especially since this is about treatments for my own face.
Has anyone had experience with consultations with a language barrier? How did you manage? Do they provide translators or have staff who can speak English? I'd love to hear your real experiences before I commit to booking an appointment. Thanks in advance!

I totally understand your concerns! I'm also a foreigner and was very nervous before my consultation. My experience is that most clinics offer English consultations, but it's best to call or email ahead to confirm, so they can arrange for English-speaking staff. I even had a friend who brought a translator along for clearer communication, especially when discussing details. You've got this!
