First time in Korea for a treatment? Here's how to budget and plan your itinerary.

Hey everyone, I'm Yunru from Taiwan. I've been thinking about coming to Korea for a treatment, but honestly I'm a bit nervous about it. It's not just the cost of the procedure itself—there's also the flight and accommodation to factor in. I wanted to ask those of you with experience: how do you usually plan the whole trip?

I've looked up some information online and I'm finding that procedure prices vary quite a bit. I'm also not really sure how much budget I should set aside. Beyond the day of the treatment itself, I need to figure out whether I can go out during recovery, how long to stay, and honestly it's all a bit overwhelming. Has anyone gone through this before? Could you share how you arranged everything on your first visit? How many days did you take off work? Where did you stay that was convenient?

I'm also wondering if I should hire a translator beforehand, or whether there are clinics that offer Chinese language support, since I'm worried about communication barriers. If anyone's been through all this, I'd really love to hear your advice—including tips on saving money, how to choose accommodation, those kinds of details. Thank you so much!
