International Patient Care at Gangnam Skincare Clinic
Complete support for patients traveling from abroad — from your first inquiry, through treatment in Seoul, to follow-up care after you've returned home.
Care Built Around Patients Who Are Far From Home
Traveling abroad for treatment adds a layer of logistics that a local patient never has to think about — language, travel dates, recovery time, and what happens if you have a question after you've already flown home. Our international patient program exists specifically to remove that friction.
Every international patient is assigned a dedicated coordinator who manages your consultation, treatment schedule, and travel logistics in one continuous thread — so you're never re-explaining your case to a new person at each step.
Whether you're coming for a single treatment or a multi-visit program, we build the schedule around your actual travel window, not the other way around.
Your Treatment Journey, Step by Step
From your first message to us, to follow-up care after you're home — here's exactly what happens at each stage.
Send Your Inquiry
Reach out by WhatsApp, email, or our contact form with what you're interested in and, if helpful, a few photos. Our coordinator responds with next steps, usually within one business day.
Free Remote Consultation
A video or written consultation with a doctor, so you understand your realistic options and estimated cost before booking any flights. Nothing is confirmed until you're ready.
Personalized Treatment Plan & Written Quote
You receive a written treatment plan, an itemized price quote, and a suggested visit itinerary — including how many clinic visits you'll need and how many days to plan for.
Travel & Documentation Support
If needed for your visa application, we prepare a treatment confirmation / invitation letter, and share recommended partner accommodations near the clinic for your recovery period.
Airport Pickup, Treatment & Recovery Support
We arrange airport pickup on request, and an interpreter is present at every clinic visit. Your schedule is built with recovery time in mind, not just procedure time.
Return Home & Follow-Up Care
You leave with written aftercare instructions in your language, and your coordinator remains your point of contact for follow-up video consultations and any questions once you're back home.
Support Services for International Patients
Available to every patient traveling from abroad — ask your coordinator which apply to your visit.
Airport Pickup & Transfer
On-request pickup from Incheon or Gimpo airport and transfer to your accommodation or the clinic.
Interpreter at Every Visit
A professional interpreter joins your consultation and every treatment session — no relying on translation apps mid-procedure.
Visa Documentation Support
Treatment confirmation and invitation letters prepared on request to support your visa application (see Visa section below).
Dedicated Patient Coordinator
One point of contact for your entire journey — scheduling, questions, and logistics, from inquiry through follow-up.
Partner Accommodation Recommendations
A shortlist of hotels and serviced stays near the clinic, chosen with recovery comfort (not just tourist appeal) in mind.
Flexible Multi-Day Scheduling
Appointments grouped and sequenced around your actual number of days in Seoul, minimizing unnecessary return trips.
Multiple Payment Options
International cards, bank wire transfer, and select digital wallets accepted — details in the Payment section below.
Post-Return Video Follow-Up
Scheduled video check-ins after you're home, so recovery questions don't go unanswered once you've left Seoul.
Visa & Entry Guidance
Depending on your nationality and how long you plan to stay, most patients enter Korea on a short-term visit visa. We can prepare supporting documents for your application, but requirements are set by Korea Immigration and your home country's Korean embassy or consulate — not by us.
This section is general orientation only. Visa categories, required documents, and eligibility depend on your nationality and can change — always confirm current requirements with your nearest Korean embassy or consulate before booking travel.
Short-Term Medical Tourist Visa
For shorter treatment visits, generally up to 90 days. Commonly used for consultations, injectable treatments, laser sessions, and similar outpatient care.
- Typically requires a treatment confirmation or invitation letter from the treating clinic
- Additional documents (proof of funds, itinerary, etc.) vary by nationality
Longer-Term Medical Stay Visa
Intended for patients whose treatment or recovery is expected to extend beyond a short-term visit, allowing a longer authorized stay.
- Generally relevant only for multi-month treatment plans, not standard aesthetic visits
- Your coordinator can advise whether this applies to your specific treatment plan
Short Visa-Free / K-ETA Entry
Depending on your nationality, you may be able to enter under an existing visa-waiver or K-ETA arrangement for shorter, lower-complexity visits.
- Eligibility is entirely nationality-dependent — check official Korean government sources
Transparent Pricing, No Hidden Fees
Every international patient receives a full written quote before any treatment begins — the price you agree to is the price you pay, with no surprise add-ons at checkout.
We accept several payment methods so you're not limited to carrying cash, and quotes can be shown in your home currency for reference alongside the KRW total.

Do I need to speak Korean to be treated here?
No. An interpreter is present at every consultation and treatment session for international patients, and your coordinator communicates with you in your preferred language throughout.
How far in advance should I book my trip?
We recommend starting your remote consultation at least 3–4 weeks before your intended travel dates, especially if your treatment plan requires multiple visits or visa documentation — this gives enough time to plan your itinerary properly.
Is the remote consultation really free?
Yes — the initial video or written consultation to review your case and provide a treatment plan and quote is free and comes with no obligation to book travel or treatment.
Can you help with my visa application?
We can provide a treatment confirmation or invitation letter to support your application, but the visa itself is issued by Korea Immigration through your nearest Korean embassy or consulate — we recommend confirming their current requirements early in your planning.
What payment methods do you accept?
International credit and debit cards, bank wire transfer, select digital wallets (UnionPay, Alipay, WeChat Pay), and Korean Won cash. Your coordinator can confirm which options work best for your home country.
What if I have questions after I've already returned home?
Your coordinator remains your point of contact after you leave Seoul. We schedule follow-up video consultations and are reachable by WhatsApp or email for aftercare questions.
