Hi, this is Sayaka. I'm thinking of getting cosmetic procedures in Seoul this year, but I'm a little worried about the language barrier. I can only speak basic English, and I barely know any Korean...

I'd like to ask anyone who has actually had a consultation at a clinic in Seoul: Was it okay with just English? Or should I use a translation app or look for a place with Japanese-speaking staff? I think consultations are quite detailed, so I'm worried about the language barrier...

Also, if I were to choose a clinic with Japanese-speaking staff, how would I confirm this beforehand? Do you check social media or ask directly via email? This will be my first time getting a procedure overseas, so I'd be grateful for any experiences you can share!
