Frequently asked questions

When do results from Botox appear and how long do they last?

It depends on the procedure and your skin. Some treatments show results right away while others build up over a few weeks, so ask at the consultation what timing and duration to expect for your skin.

Can I sightsee or fly on the same day as the treatment?

Most skin treatments allow normal activity the same day, but procedures that cause redness or swelling need a day or two without strong sun or saunas. Scheduling treatment early in your trip is safer than on the last day.

Can I combine several treatments in one trip?

Yes, though some combinations need spacing between sessions. The hospital decides which treatments can be done together and in what order, and you can pre-select a combination in your MediQueen estimate.

Do results differ by skin type or skin tone?

Laser and pigment treatments are adjusted, and sometimes limited, according to skin tone. Korean clinics see patients of many nationalities, so ask for examples on your skin type at the consultation.
