Hello, it's Nao. I've been struggling with something lately and wanted to post to hear from others who have had similar experiences.
I'm actually thinking about getting some skin treatments, and I'm really torn between doing it in Japan or taking the plunge and going to Korea. I have the impression that Korea has more options and is more advanced technologically, but on the other hand, I also feel like it might be safer to do it in Japan due to language barriers and potential support issues if something were to happen... Also, regarding costs, I'm wondering if it's cheaper to do it in Korea? I'm not really sure about the actual situation.
How did you all decide when faced with this kind of choice? I'd love to hear about what you liked about getting treatments in Korea, or conversely, what was difficult. Advice from a fellow Japanese perspective would be incredibly helpful.

I feel the same way, sis! Have you looked into whether there are language support services or translators at locations in Korea, or is communication really a big barrier for you?
I totally understand your concerns about language and follow-up! But from my friends' experiences going to Korea, many clinics in popular areas have English-speaking staff or even translators, so communication isn't as difficult as you might think. Maybe try looking for reviews from the Japanese community here first, who knows, someone might have practical tips on how to handle all the administrative stuff? 😊
I understand her concerns again, as I've argued with myself about this too 😅 Personally, I have a friend who got it done in Korea and she liked it, but language and aftercare are definitely things to consider. If you're very concerned about the language barrier, you might consider looking for a place with staff who can speak Japanese first.
