Hello everyone! I'm Intan, from Indonesia. I'm planning an aesthetic consultation in Seoul next month, but I'm a bit worried about the language barrier. My English is just so-so, haha. My question is, can most clinics in Seoul handle consultations in English? Or should I prepare a translator, or what do you recommend?
I've looked at a few clinics that claim to have staff who speak Indonesian or English, but I'm not sure how common that is. Also, can they usually explain treatment options in detail using English, or is it a bit complicated?
I'd be thrilled if anyone with experience could share! What's usually smoother — booking directly, using a translator app, or what's the best practice? Thanks in advance! 😊

Hey! I'm also worried about the language barrier, just like you 😅 Have you tried contacting places with English-speaking staff beforehand? I'm curious if they can explain things in detail or if it's just basic communication?
I completely understand your concerns! I'm also a foreigner and had the same language anxiety before. My experience is that many clinics do offer English consultations, but the quality varies greatly, so it's more reassuring to confirm in advance using a translation app or email. Some staff members have good English, while others struggle a bit, so you might need to be patient 😅
