K-ClinicKorea Aesthetic Clinic Inquiry: What to Write First (Céramique)
Your first message to a Korean aesthetic clinic needs only five things: your main concern, the area, recent treatments, current medication, and your travel dates with weekday availability. Céramique in Sinnonhyeon, Seoul offers lifting, anti-aging and skin care, and is open Mon–Fri 09:00–18:00 (lunch 13:00–14:00), closed Sat–Sun.
What Should Your First Clinic Message Say?
Your first message only needs to say what bothers you, where, what you've had done recently, what medication you take, and which days you're free. That lets the clinic grasp your direction right away.
Many people open with "I want a lift, how much?" But Céramique's approach is to read the face first, then decide the treatment. Asking only for a price usually means several rounds of back-and-forth before you get the key information.
This article covers what to put in that first message, so you can have your consultation ready before you leave for Korea.
Five Things to Include in Your Consultation Message
A good consultation message covers five things: your main concern, the area, recent treatments, current medication, and your travel dates with weekday availability.
Your main concern can be in your own words, for example "my jawline looks less defined," "my cheeks are drooping," or "my pores are larger and my skin looks dull." You don't need to choose a device yourself.
Recent treatments matter. Include any lifting or injectables you've had and roughly when.
Current medication, especially blood thinners, is something Céramique explicitly asks you to disclose in advance.
Finally, your dates. Céramique is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, so state which weekdays you are free in Seoul.
Which Type of Treatment Fits Your Concern?
Céramique's treatments fall into three groups: lifting, anti-aging, and skin care (texture, pores, dullness).
If your concern is a sagging or drooping contour, that falls under lifting, designed around your face shape and skin condition. If it is skin texture, pores or dullness, that is skin care. If you have both, simply mention both in your message.
The clinic has five lifting devices, Ulthera, Thermage, Titanium, Onda and Sofwave, which can be combined, so you won't be pushed toward one machine just because it's the only one available.
Do You Need to Name a Device?
No. At Céramique, the doctor judges which layer of the face needs treatment based on your facial structure and then selects the device.
Director Lee Jong-jin holds a doctorate in aesthetic anatomy and assesses the problem from skin through fat to the fascia layer. Describing what looks "off" to you is more useful than writing "I want Ulthera 300 shots."
That said, if you already have a device in mind, include it and ask the doctor to evaluate it too.
Céramique Price Inquiry: Four Things to Ask After the September Promotion
Céramique's September promotional prices ended on 30 September. Confirm current prices during your consultation rather than budgeting from the old promotion.
The September promotional prices were listed as including tax (VAT). Ask whether current prices include tax too.
Lifting prices vary by number of shots and treatment area. On the same device, 300 shots and 600 shots are priced differently, so confirm the shot count and areas in any quote.
Also ask whether any new promotion is running, along with its conditions and deadline.
Sample Message to Send
One message in this format is enough:
"Hello, I'd like a consultation at Céramique.
① Main concern: my jawline is not defined and my cheeks are drooping; I'd also like to improve my pores.
② Area: jawline, cheeks.
③ Recent treatments: radiofrequency lifting last March.
④ Medication: none.
⑤ Dates: in Seoul 8–12 December, available any weekday afternoon.
I'd like to know the suitable approach and current prices (with or without VAT)."
After receiving it, K-Clinic will confirm the details with you and pass them on to the clinic.
