      This checklist could be made more specific, with details you can “put in your booking record”—especially the treatment name and total price. Don’t just hear the name of a package and say yes. Before booking, ask:

      1. Who will conduct the consultation, and who will perform the treatment? Will it be a dermatologist or another staff member? Can a doctor assess you first so you can decide whether to proceed?
      2. What exactly is the treatment? Ask them to write down the treatment name in Korean or English, the device/ingredients, and the planned treatment area; terms like “skin booster” and “brightening” can refer to different treatments.
      3. What does the quote include? Are the consultation fee, numbing, supplies, or post-treatment care charged separately? Before adding anything at the last minute, can they confirm the price and get your consent?
      4. What is the recovery period, and what are the risks? How long will redness last, and which reactions mean I should contact the clinic? If your itinerary is tight, ask whether it’s suitable to have the treatment that day, or whether it would be safer to only have a consultation.
      5. How are rescheduling, cancellations, and post-treatment contact handled? Keep the terms, contact details, and instructions in written messages; fees and policies may change, so check the clinic’s official information again before you leave.

      If you have significant pain, a sudden rash, or are taking prescription medication, get an assessment from a dermatologist first. Don’t use a short trip as a reason to rush into a treatment.
