Documents
Your passport is used to open your chart. If you have records from previous clinics — even a photo of a box label or an old record card — bring them. They tell us what is already in your skin and how you responded.
Health information
- Medications: blood thinners, aspirin, anti-inflammatories, isotretinoin, retinoids.
- Supplements: fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo and similar can increase bruising.
- Allergies: anaesthetics, eggs or fish (relevant for some boosters), latex.
- Conditions: pregnancy or breastfeeding, cold sores, keloids, autoimmune conditions.
Don’t stop prescribed medication on your own — tell us, and we will plan around it.
Photos and goals
Photos from a few years ago help with lifting and volume decisions. Screenshots of a look you like are fine, as long as we can talk about what is realistic for your face.
The day before and the day of
Skip alcohol the night before; it increases bruising. Avoid starting a new retinoid or a strong peel in the week before. Come with clean skin or light make-up — we cleanse before numbing anyway. Allow time: numbing cream takes about 30 minutes.
Getting to the clinic
Taut is on the 18th floor of K-Square Gangnam II, 374 Gangnam-daero — right by Exits 3 and 4 of Gangnam Station on Line 2 and the Shinbundang Line. From Incheon Airport, the AREX airport railway and then the subway, or an airport limousine bus toward Gangnam, will bring you to the station.
Hours are Mondays and Fridays 10:00–21:00, Tuesdays and Thursdays 10:00–20:00, and weekends and public holidays 10:00–18:00 (KST); we are closed on Wednesdays. If your flight lands in the morning, an afternoon appointment is usually more comfortable than coming straight from the airport.
After the visit
Sunglasses and a hat after lasers, sunscreen always. Keep your record card. If you are flying soon, check our guide to flying after treatment.
