This section covers common questions around your visit, such as your first visit, aftercare and return flights, and payment and VAT.
Visiting
A first visit goes in this order: booking by phone or messenger → check-in → consultation (skin check and treatment explanation) → treatment, if you decide on one → aftercare instructions. The time needed depends on the treatment, so we will let you know when you book, and you can also just have a consultation and decide on treatment later.
Aftercare & travel
Each treatment has a different period of swelling or scabs, so we choose the treatment date to fit the recovery time into your return schedule. If possible, we suggest having treatment early in your trip and checking your progress while you are still in Korea.
Payment
You can pay by card, cash or mobile payment (WeChat Pay, Alipay), and the non-insured fees listed on the Tones Clinic main website (tonesclinic.com) do not include VAT (10%). The VAT refund for foreign tourists' cosmetic procedures ended on December 31, 2025, and no longer applies.
