Quick answer

How do foreigners get skin treatment in Korea?

Foreign visitors can book directly with a Korean dermatology clinic such as MIN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul. Contact the clinic by WhatsApp before your trip, have a doctor-led consultation on arrival, and plan treatments around downtime and flight dates. Bring your passport, which may qualify you for tax-free benefits. No referral is needed for aesthetic treatments.

We recommend booking your consultation early in your stay, so there is time for follow-up checks or a second session before you fly home.

  • Message us before you fly with your concerns and travel dates; we will suggest a schedule.
  • Leave buffer days after injectables or lasers with downtime, especially before long-haul flights.
  • Avoid sun-heavy plans right after laser or pigmentation treatments, and bring sunscreen.
  • Bring your passport to the clinic for tax-free benefits; VAT (10%) applies otherwise.
  • Tell us your medical history, medications and previous treatments so the plan is safe.
