Which treatment should I get on my first trip to Seoul?
For a first visit with no downtime: PicoSure toning (brightening, from KRW 39,000) plus LDM (hydration, KRW 59,000) on day one, and Rejuran HB (skin quality, from KRW 189,000) or a water-glow skin booster the day before you leave. If you are 35+, add Ultherapy 300 shots (KRW 1,090,000) or Shurink as the budget version. Botox should go on day one so it works before you fly.
