Hi everyone, I'm Yixuan from Taiwan. I'm considering getting a minor cosmetic procedure in Korea, but I'm a little worried about post-treatment swelling. Since I'm going abroad for the procedure, I'll probably be in Seoul for a few days before returning to Taiwan. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for reducing swelling or what skincare products I should bring?
I've heard there's a swelling period after the procedure, but I'm unsure how long it usually takes to subside. Has anyone tried bringing their own cooling gels or anti-swelling gels? Or is it more convenient to buy them locally? I'd like to know your experiences on how to minimize swelling before my flight home.
Also, are there any moisturizing or soothing products that are essential after the procedure? My skin is quite sensitive, and I'm worried about using the wrong products and causing irritation, so I'd like to hear what experienced people have to say. Thank you!

I understand, I was worried about the same thing! It's understandable to be anxious about whether the swelling will go down before you return home. There are various cooling gels and soothing products sold at local drugstores, so I think it's best to consult with a pharmacist after the procedure and buy them there. If you have sensitive skin in particular, it might be best to ask the staff at the clinic where you had the procedure what products are safe to use.
I totally understand your concerns! I've been in the same situation, visiting Korea for a short time and worrying about coming home with a swollen face. From my experience and that of my friends, it's best to bring skincare products you're already familiar with to avoid any strange reactions. Also, don't hesitate to ask your treatment provider about local products that are safe for sensitive skin — they'll usually have the right recommendations!
Sister, do you know what I should avoid doing when I return to Taiwan, for example, hot water or strenuous activities? I'm afraid of going back home with swelling, so I'd like to know your experience.
Hey! I'm also worried about the swelling after the procedure 😅 Did you actually try the soothing products from Korean pharmacies before you went? Or is it better to buy them from your country?
