I'm planning the same thing! I think it's better to buy some skincare products beforehand because it might be a little difficult for foreigners to find something they like. However, there's a huge selection in Korea anyway. I think it's safer to just get the essentials like masks and skincare products first.

I'd honestly just grab the cooling masks and gentle soothing stuff once you're there—the skincare shops in Korea have so many options and are way cheaper than bringing things from home. Plus your skin might react differently than expected, so it's easier to pick things up in person after your treatment when you actually know what you need!

Wow, I'm also planning a treatment in Korea next week! How long does recovery time usually take? That way, I can figure out which products are most important to bring back from here.

Honestly, I'd say grab the cooling masks and gentle soothing stuff before you go — they're easier to find at home and you'll want them right away after treatment. Once you're in Korea, the pharmacies have SO many options for aftercare that you can pick up whatever else you need based on how your skin actually feels, which is way better than guessing beforehand!

I picked up a recovery mask from a nearby pharmacy after being sprayed by a staff member in Seoul before, and it worked really well! But my suggestion is to first look around and see what products are available in Seoul and then buy them from the last one, that way you'll have less baggage to bring back.
