Look for the following being listed on the website: Vascular lasers (like Pulsed Dye Laser) for broken capillaries IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) for diffuse redness Long-pulse Nd:YAG laser for deeper flushing and thicker skin These laser treatments are considered safe and effective and are widely used in Korea. They all help with rosacea.

For people that have gone, or are planning on going to Korea specially for plastic surgery - What are some of the best hotels? I would like to see which hotels are specially best for foreigners. Like ones that have staff that can speak and understand basic English. I had gone to South Korea a number of years ago and the hotel I stayed in, most people there did not understand or speak English so it made it a bit difficult to communicate needs or questions with them. I am not sure if that hotel is around anymore or not, I think it may have been rebranded as I can't find it. Needless to say, I don't want to have an experience like that again. I would appreciate if anyone can share hotels they have stayed it or know of people who have that had no issues. I don't know much Korean. Just basic words. I should try to learn a bit more before going but between work and family, I just can't find the time for it right now. Also if you can share the most popular clinics by any hotels you share, it would be helpful too. I know certain areas have tons of clinics and hotels. I would like to find a hotel that is within a 5 minute drive of the clinic I will go to just to make traveling easier. I don't know if that will be possible or not.

Yes, just expect to no matter what. I have never found a clinic that didn't so this when rescheduling.

Some differences you will notice is that factory clinics offer packages and have a much higher volume of patients. You can often feel rushed if you are not familiar with them. I have read stories of people having bad experiences with them because they had no idea they booked with this type of clinic.

Where are you getting the information about this? Are you seeing reviews, and before and afters? I am struggling to find info for this clinic.

You mentioned the cost and yes, they tend to be 30-50% cheaper than what you'd normally find in Korea. But they will undercharge you the first time and end up charging you more the second time, for things like Botox anyways. If you see tons of people waiting around, with long waiting periods even if you have something booked... That is usually a sign it is a factory clinic.

Pride PS is one of the clinics I see discussed a lot about online. So I am assuming it is one of the better ones. The issue is though, like every other clinic, Pride also has negative feedback.

I have come across some that lied about it though but I have a feeling these were not legit clinics. One of the ones I remember visiting and contacting, I can't even find the website for it anymore.

I have had this issue with certain clinics too unfortunately. I wonder if reaching out to clinics in cases like this would be worth it. I am sure they have English speakers there, even if not fluent. They want to attract as many people as possible and English is the most universally used language in the world I think.

Oh okay. Well this sounds expensive. I will have to look into it more. Sorry for my delayed response. I have not been on the forum in a hot minute. Been super busy. Anyways, thanks for the information. Maybe this could be an option for my brother.

People get information wrong online all the time. It is very easy to find groups of people posting the same incorrect information. This is why you have to research and why it is great places like this exist so people can correct each other.

You should provide it for your own sake, even if they don't ask. They should ask though for basic health issues. Like what medications you are on or if you have heart or lung conditions.

I don't know, I read the opposite. It seems like most people recommend being as close as possible because certain times of the day are so busy there a 3 min drive can take 10+ minutes.

I don't know anyone personally who had a nose job but I have seen before and afters and watched some videos on YouTube where people had them done. It seems like most people have swelling and bruising but eye swelling doesn't happen for everyone but it can happen for some. That can be a bit of an issue!

Wait, what is stem cell scalp treatment? I didn't know this was a thing. I have heard of doing blood plasma injections and botox but never stem cells. This sounds interesting and it might be worth my brother looking into.
