Hi everyone, I'm Hsinyi from Taiwan. I've been considering getting a treatment in Korea lately, but to be honest, I'm a little nervous and unsure how to plan the trip and budget. I've never had a beauty treatment abroad before, so I have a lot of questions.
First, regarding the budget, I know treatments in Korea are generally cheaper than in Taiwan, but I'm unsure how much money I should allocate for airfare, accommodation, and food, besides the treatment itself. Could anyone share some tips on budgeting? I'd like to know how many days I should stay – is it enough to come back the day after the treatment, or should I stay longer to allow my skin to recover?
Another issue is time management. I'm wondering if I should get a consultation first and then come back a few weeks later for the treatment? Or can I combine the consultation and treatment into one trip? Has anyone made a similar arrangement and can share their experience? I'm a little worried that I might not plan well and end up making a wasted trip.

I'm also from outside Korea and I completely understand your concern! The truth is, when I first went, I booked a consultation online or by phone before traveling, and this helped me a lot in organizing my trip. Regarding the number of days, I think one week is comfortable for the consultation, the procedure, and a little rest afterward, but everyone is different depending on the type of procedure.
I also traveled from Taiwan, and my advice is to stay at least 3-5 days for peace of mind. This gives your skin time to recover before flying. I consulted online first, and then waited two weeks before getting the procedure done. I felt more at ease knowing I had time to prepare!
Hi! I've also traveled from abroad to Korea for treatments, and I was wondering if you prefer to have your consultation and procedure done in one go, or if you might split it into two separate trips? I was a bit torn on this issue at the time, so I'm curious about your thoughts!
I totally understand your concern right now. I felt the same way when I first started 😅. From my experience, contacting the clinic before booking your flight is super helpful. They can tell you their appointment availability, so you'll know exactly how many days you need to stay. As for skin fatigue, it really depends on what treatments you get. Some require more rest than others.
