Your Visit, Step by Step
-
Step 1 — Check-In
About 5 minutesArrive at the 4th floor and give your name at the front desk. Please bring your passport — identity verification is required for foreign patients in Korea.
You will fill out a medical questionnaire. The questionnaire is available in your language, so you will not be asked to sign anything you cannot read.
-
Step 2 — Cleansing
About 5 minutesYou will be shown to a cleansing area to remove makeup and sunscreen. Accurate skin analysis requires a clean face, so this step comes before measurement.
-
Step 3 — AI Skin Analysis
About 10 minutesYour skin is measured using an AI diagnostic device. This produces objective data on your skin condition rather than a visual estimate.
Why this matters: the treatment recommendation you receive in the next step is built from this measurement data, not from a general impression of your face.
-
Step 4 — Consultation
About 20 minutesA treatment coordinator reviews your AI analysis results with you and explains which treatments are suitable, what each one does, and what it costs.
You will be told the exact final amount, VAT included. Celita Clinic treats accurate price disclosure as a priority — the same prices are published on our treatment pages, so you can check them before you arrive. The amount quoted in consultation is the amount you pay. There are no additional charges added afterwards.
Consultation length varies depending on how many questions you have.
-
Step 5 — Payment
About 5 minutesPayment is made before treatment begins, once you have agreed to the treatment plan and confirmed the exact amount.
Accepted payment methods: overseas credit and debit cards, cash, and bank transfer.
An itemized medical statement can be issued in English on request. This document lists each treatment, its code, and the amount charged — useful if you need documentation for records or reimbursement in your home country.
-
Step 6 — Treatment
About 30–60 minutesYour treatment is performed by the doctor. Treatment time depends on the procedure and on whether numbing cream is applied. Numbing cream requires additional waiting time before the procedure starts, which is included in the range above.
-
Step 7 — Aftercare
Before you leave, you receive an aftercare card provided by Celita Clinic. The card sets out your aftercare instructions in detail — what to do, what to avoid, and for how long — so you are not relying on memory once you leave the clinic. Aftercare guidance is prepared in multiple languages, so you can follow it accurately after returning home.
Can I Fly or Wear Makeup on the Same Day?
Downtime differs from procedure to procedure. Some treatments require recovery time; others do not.
Celita Clinic offers travel-friendly procedures designed for visitors on short trips — treatments you can have and still fly the same day, and treatments you can wear makeup over the same day. If you are flying out soon or have plans that evening, tell your coordinator your schedule during consultation and your treatment plan will be built around it.
The aftercare card provided by Celita Clinic sets out the specific downtime for the treatment you received.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Celita Clinic offers both single-session treatments that complete in one visit and multi-session treatments that produce stronger results over a course.
For overseas patients, we plan around the fact that returning for multiple visits is often not possible. Rather than recommending a course you cannot complete, your coordinator designs a protocol that delivers the strongest possible result within the visits actually available to you. Tell us how long you are in Korea and how many visits you can make, and the plan will be built to that.
