K-ClinicKorea Skin Treatment Aftercare: REDI 8-Point Checklist
In short: for treatments at REDI Dermatology, arrive without makeup or remove it at the clinic and tell the staff about blood-thinning or similar medication; for several days afterwards avoid saunas, alcohol and strenuous exercise. Most treatments allow normal activity the next day. Schedule saunas and drinking before the treatment, and ask the doctor how many days to avoid them. Prices are before tax; 10% VAT is added.
Read the checklist first, then plan your trip
When you have treatments in Korea, price is not the only thing: what to watch out for before and after treatment also affects your travel schedule. This checklist is based on REDI Dermatology's price list and the clinic's own explanations.
Prices are November deal prices (to 30 Nov 2026), before tax, with 10% VAT added; deal prices do not apply to the representative director.
Before treatment: 4 things to prepare
- Arrive without makeup: on the day you can come bare-faced or remove makeup at the clinic.
- Tell the staff your medication: if you take blood-thinning or similar medication, let the clinic know beforehand.
- Bring your passport and booking information.
- Tell us your return date so we can check time slots with the clinic for you.
After treatment: what to avoid
For several days after treatment, avoid saunas, alcohol and strenuous exercise. Most treatments allow normal activity the next day, and precautions for individual treatments are explained afterwards.
The price list does not say exactly how many days to avoid these, so please ask the doctor at the consultation.
How to schedule the rest of your trip
- Do things like Korean saunas (jjimjilbang), drinking and hiking before the treatment.
- The second day after treatment, most people can go sightseeing normally.
- If your treatment needs anesthesia, do not schedule that day too tightly; anesthesia is charged separately: sleep ₩200,000, respiratory ₩100,000.
REDI is open until 20:00 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, so sightseeing by day and treatment in the evening is workable. It closes for lunch 13:00–14:00 on weekdays, is open 10:00–15:00 on Saturdays and is closed on Sundays.
If you have questions after you fly home
The price list does not state the clinic's follow-up or aftercare contact arrangements, so please confirm this at the consultation. If you have questions after returning home, tell us through K-Clinic and we will ask the clinic for you.
Representative director Min Jung is a board-certified dermatologist who completed residency and specialist training at Kangbuk Samsung Hospital.
A simple sample itinerary: Day 1 arrive and shop by day; Day 2 sightsee by day and have treatment in the evening; Day 3 most treatments allow normal activity. Do saunas and drinking on Day 1, and avoid them for the days after treatment. Ask the doctor exactly how many days.
If your trip is only 3 days, you can also put the treatment on the morning of Day 2 and continue sightseeing in the afternoon, but avoid the 13:00–14:00 lunch break.
This is K-Clinic's scheduling suggestion; follow your specific treatment and the doctor's explanation.
