Planning
A 3-Day Seoul Skin Treatment Plan (2026)
By Dr. IM JUNHYUNG · Updated
- Lifting and Botox can be done on day one; most people are back to normal the same day.
- Filler fits day one or two, so swelling has time to settle.
- Boosters and lasers fit day two; small marks fade in a day or two.
- Keep saunas, jjimjilbang and drinking for the end — or for your next trip.
- Day 1
- Consult + lift — or injectables
- Day 2
- Skin — boosters, laser
- Day 3
- Check + rest — before the flight
- Rule
- Big first — light last
Before you arrive
Send clear photos in daylight and a list of medications and past treatments when you message us. It shortens the consultation and helps us suggest what fits your days. Avoid starting new retinoids or strong peels in the week before.
Day 1 — consultation and the main treatment
The consultation comes first and you are never asked to decide on the spot. If the plan is clear, the main treatment can follow the same day: Ultherapy, Thermage or Sofwave for lifting, Botox, or filler. The plan — device, shots, product and units — goes on your record card before we start.
Day 2 — skin
Skin boosters, Potenza or pico toning fit here. Small bumps or redness usually settle within one to three days, so they shouldn’t be left for the final morning. Sightseeing and shopping are fine; avoid hot saunas and alcohol for now.
Day 3 — check and rest
A short check if needed, and anything light: a hydrating treatment, or nothing at all. Pack your record card. Plan the flight for the afternoon or evening rather than straight after a treatment.
A sample plan
| Day | Morning | Afternoon |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Consultation | Lifting or injectables |
| 2 | Skin booster or laser | Free — avoid sauna |
| 3 | Quick check (if needed) | Rest, fly in the evening |
Every face is different. If something on your list doesn’t fit three days safely, we say so and suggest what to leave for next time.
FAQ
Is three days enough for filler and lifting?
Usually yes, if both are done on day one or two. Lifting and filler on the same day are possible when planned by area.
Can I go to a jjimjilbang during the trip?
Better at the end, or not at all for about a week after lifting, filler or lasers. Heat increases swelling and redness.
Should I leave anything for the last day?
Only light treatments. Avoid filler and anything that swells right before a flight.
Do I need a consultation before booking?
We consult on the day and never ask you to decide on the spot. Bookings for international visitors open in December — message us your Seoul dates now.
