Treatments & safety
Are there side effects?
Results, recovery time and side effects differ from person to person. Possible effects and aftercare are explained at consultation before treatment.
Do treatments hurt, and is anesthesia used?
The most common way to reduce pain is numbing cream applied to the skin, and treatment usually starts after waiting about 20–30 minutes. Depending on the treatment, local anesthesia by injection may be added, or cold air or cooling is used to reduce pain, as with laser hair removal and Sofwave; sedation is also available if needed. How much you feel differs by treatment and by person, so please see each treatment page for details.

Its registered department is dermatology, and it provides skin treatments after consultation, including lifting, pigmentation, pores, hair removal, thread lifts, botulinum toxin, skin boosters and acne treatment. We do not perform surgery, liposuction or hair transplants.
Aftercare & travel
What should I do after a treatment?
For most treatments, gentle cleansing, plenty of moisturizer and sunscreen are the basics. By our clinic's guideline, avoid saunas, alcohol and intense exercise for about 1 week, and do not pick at scabs; let them fall off on their own. For what differs by treatment, please see the aftercare section on each treatment page.
Can I fly home soon after a treatment?
After toning or injection treatments, flying is usually possible the same day or the next day, and for treatments that may cause scabs, such as Fraxel or mole removal, we suggest leaving 2–3 days. If possible, have treatment early in your trip so you can check your progress while you are still in Korea, and if you tell us your return date when you book, we will plan the treatment date around it. For details, see our aftercare and return flight guide.
How can I contact the clinic after I return home?
After you return home, you can contact us on LINE, WhatsApp, WeChat (ID tonesgd) or our KakaoTalk channel, and we reply in Korean, English or Chinese. Sending photos of your symptoms helps us check your condition, and we check and reply to messages during opening hours. For urgent symptoms such as severe pain or changes in skin color, please go to a local hospital right away.
