Hi there! My name is Som and I'm from Thailand. I'm thinking about getting an aesthetic treatment in Korea for the first time, but the problem is I'm not great at reading Korean 😅 It's hard to look at reviews because most foreigners tend to check reviews before they go, but I'm worried about what kind of reviews I should be looking at.
I wanted to ask how you all usually evaluate reviews? Is there a safer way to do it? Like, where should I look or what characteristics of reviews should I be careful about? I've noticed that some reviews are written in a strange way, and some reviews seem really genuine, but I can't tell the difference 😭
Most importantly, what red flags should someone like me who's a foreigner watch out for? Like, promises guaranteeing results, prices that are suspiciously cheap, or anything else you've seen before. I'd really appreciate some advice from people who know 🙏 Thank you!

I totally get it, Som 😅 I feel the same way—Korean reviews are hard to read, and it's difficult to tell which ones are actually trustworthy, right? I tend to rely on Instagram accounts that seem reliable, reviews from foreign bloggers, and I just ask a ton of questions during consultations 🙋♀️ The ones that say things like "results guaranteed" do definitely seem sketchy.
Hey Som! I totally get how you feel, honestly—when I first came to Korea, I couldn't read local reviews either 😅 What I started doing now is asking around in foreigner forums or Indonesian/Southeast Asian groups of people who already have experience here—they're usually way more helpful and give honest feedback. I've also noticed that reviews promising too-good-to-be-true results are usually the suspicious ones, and I try to check whether the clinic has clear English communication before booking—that's become my safety net so there's no miscommunication about expectations. Hope you find some useful info! 🙏
Sorry, which language would you like to have your consultation in? I was thinking it might be better to suggest going with an interpreter, or maybe finding a clinic that works in English would be safer. 😅
