Why a record
Numbers are where most misunderstandings happen in aesthetic clinics: how many shots, how many units, which product. A written plan before treatment and a check afterwards remove the guesswork. It also protects the clinic: if questions come up later, both sides have the same page.
What goes on it
| Treatment | Recorded |
|---|---|
| Lifting devices | Device, depth, areas, shots planned and used, counter before and after |
| Botox | Brand, units per area, lot |
| Filler and boosters | Product, lot, cc per area |
| Lasers | Device, mode, settings, area |
How the check works
For devices with counters, the number is shown at the start and the end, and the difference is written down. For injectables, the box and label are shown before opening, and the amount used is recorded. The doctor who treated you signs the record.
Why it matters after you fly home
If you continue treatment at home, the next doctor can see exactly what was used and how much. If something feels unusual, the record helps any doctor judge what to do. And when you come back to Seoul, we start from your numbers rather than from memory.
Records across visits
A record becomes more useful the second time. If you had Ultherapy 600 shots last year and liked the result, the plan starts there. If a Botox dose felt heavy around the brows, the units are on paper and can be adjusted. Over a few visits, patterns show up — how long your Botox lasts, how your skin responds to a booster course — and each plan becomes more precise than the last.
The same is true if you see another doctor between visits to Seoul. Brand, units, shots, product and lot numbers can be read by any doctor, in any language, without guessing. That is the point of writing numbers rather than impressions.
What the record doesn’t do
It doesn’t promise a result — skin responds differently from person to person. It records what was done, honestly and in numbers, so you can judge for yourself.
