Hey everyone! So I'm flying to Korea next week for some treatments and I'm trying to figure out what to bring for recovery. I know I'll probably need cooling masks and maybe some silicone scar sheets, but I'm honestly not sure what's actually worth packing vs. what I can just grab there.
Has anyone done treatments while traveling and brought their own aftercare products? I'm thinking about grabbing some soothing gel and cooling masks from home, but I don't want to overpack if Korean pharmacies have better options anyway. Also curious if you found certain products way more helpful than others during healing.
Plus, I'm trying to figure out if it's better to just buy everything there since I'll be staying a few weeks. Would love to hear what worked for you! Did you regret not bringing anything specific, or did local stuff end up being perfect?

I'm also considering this! How many weeks are you planning to stay? I was thinking, the longer I stay, the more I should buy locally to pack lighter.
Take it easy. I'm also planning. And I saw they mentioned there are many good options when you go shopping there. It might be good to ask the doctor after the procedure what you should use first before packing your bags. 😊
I have the same dilemma! Last time I went, I brought some soothing masks, but honestly, the selection at local drugstores and beauty shops there is so vast, I feel like I could travel light and just buy what I need when I get there. However, I do think bringing a few products I'm already familiar with would put my mind at ease, especially since my skin is more sensitive after a procedure.
I'm also worried about the same thing! I think the best thing is to bring the essentials from home because there's no guarantee you'll find what you need quickly at the pharmacies. But thankfully, Korean pharmacies have many options, and you can ask them directly about the best healing products 🤍
