Aftercare & travel
What happens at a first visit to Tones Clinic Konkuk Univ.?
In short
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.
How do I book?
You can book by phone (+82-2-6941-1966), LINE, WhatsApp, WeChat (ID tonesgd), our KakaoTalk channel or Naver booking. Consultations are available in Korean, English and Chinese, so please tell us your preferred language when you book. Opening hours are weekdays 10:00–20:30 and Saturday 10:00–16:30, and we are closed on Sunday.
Where do I go when I arrive?
Leave Konkuk Univ. Station (Line 2 / Line 7) by Exit 6 and come to The Podium 830 building, a 1-minute walk away. The clinic is in Rooms 206–209 on the 2nd floor, and detailed directions are on our directions page. If you have trouble finding us, please call (+82-2-6941-1966).
What happens at the consultation?
After check-in, we look at your skin in person and confirm your concerns, then explain the treatments that may suit you, the recovery time and a treatment plan. If needed, we take photos with a Mark-Vu device to record your skin condition. For English and Chinese, our staff assist, together with translation tools.
Can I have treatment on the same day?
Depending on the consultation, your skin condition and that day's bookings, same-day treatment may be possible. We may postpone if the treatment area is inflamed, you have a recent sunburn or you are unwell. If you want same-day treatment, please tell us when you book.
How are costs explained?
You can check non-insured fees in advance on the Tones Clinic main website (tonesclinic.com), and the listed amounts do not include VAT (10%). The final amount is confirmed after the treatment is decided at the consultation, and payment methods are listed in our payment and VAT guide.

Risks and when to wait
- Before your consultation, please be sure to tell us if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, any medication you take (blood thinners, acne medication, etc.), a pacemaker or metal implant, a tendency to form keloids, an autoimmune disease, recent tanning or treatments, and allergies. Do not stop blood thinners on your own; talk to the doctor who prescribed them.
- We advise postponing most aesthetic treatments during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and if you have an implanted electronic device such as a pacemaker, you cannot have radiofrequency treatment. If the treatment area has dermatitis, an infection or a wound, or you have a recent sunburn, a cold or a fever, we postpone until you recover.
