    Chosen treatments are performed, often starting gentle and building over a series.

  4. Aftercare and maintenance

How to choose the right treatment

Start with your main concern. For dullness and hydration, gentle facials or Aqua Peel are easy entry points. For pigmentation, toning lasers and peels help; for laxity, tightening devices; for scars, resurfacing or PRP. The doctor often combines treatments and sequences them over a series for the best balance of safety and results.

Aftercare for best results

  • Use daily sunscreen
  • Follow a gentle skincare routine
  • Stay hydrated
  • Avoid excess heat or sun after treatments
  • Commit to a consistent maintenance plan

Skin Care Treatments FAQ

Which skin care treatment should I start with?

It depends on your main concern. Hydrating facials and peels suit dullness and texture; toning lasers suit pigmentation; tightening devices suit laxity. A doctor will recommend a starting point and a plan at consultation.

Do skin care treatments have downtime?

Most have none to minimal downtime, which is why they are popular with visitors. Deeper peels or resurfacing need a few days; your doctor will tell you what to expect for each.

Are treatments safe for darker skin tones?

Yes, when devices and settings are chosen for melanin-rich skin. See our skin of colour care for pigment-safe options.

How much do skin care treatments cost in Seoul?

Costs range widely by treatment, from affordable facials to device and injectable programmes. Your exact quote is confirmed at consultation, and international patients pay the same local price.

Can I combine several treatments in one trip?

Often yes. Many low-downtime treatments can be sequenced during a visit. The doctor will plan safe spacing so your skin is not overloaded.

Do you offer services in English?

Yes. NEST Clinic has English-speaking staff and a 1:1 consultant for international patients, with the same local pricing.
