for anyone who’s had cosmetic treatments done in Korea, how did you guys decide which clinic was the right one for you?

I’m planning a trip to Korea this winter, and aside from traveling, I’m also thinking about getting a thread lift. I had ultherapy about 3 years ago, and I feel like the results have pretty much faded now, plus I’m getting older. I’m still not ready to do anything too invasive like surgery tho, so I’m looking into thread lifts.

my biggest concern is that this will be my first time getting a treatment overseas, so I have no idea how people usually go about choosing a clinic. I’ve been researching a few clinics in Seoul and contacted 1–2 of them, but so far I’ve mostly gotten generic/template replies and I hate it. before going to one place, I really want to have an actual consultation where I can explain what I want, ask questions, and get proper recommendations.

for those of you who’ve done treatments in Korea, do you normally consult online and book beforehand, or is walking in pretty common? some of my friends recommended to chat lalamedi since they can apparently help with the consultation, clinic selection, and booking, but I’m still hesitant because I’m also trying to research clinics on my own first.

so here I am, I’d love to hear about your experience. how did you choose your clinic, and would you recommend booking an appointment in advance before going there?

what do you guys think about using skincare tools in your routine? i’m honestly kinda late to this trend. after seeing so many celebrities using gua sha in their youtube videos, i started wondering if it actually makes a difference.

i’m still kinda skeptical that gua sha can actually make your face look slimmer, unless you’re super consistent and patient with it. but i do believe tools like that can help with circulation, reduce puffiness, or maybe even help skincare absorb better. since you’re physically moving the tool around your face, it kinda makes sense to me if you use it properly.

i’m a beginner, so i tried gua sha for a few days, but omg my hands got so tired 😭 i tend to overdo things because i get too focused on the details, so i end up doing it for sooo long because i always feel like i haven’t done enoughn.

so i started looking into other tools that might suit me better, something that saves time and effort but can still help with skincare absorption. and somehow the algorithm heard me because i started getting tons of content about the glow.m cryo sonic pro device. after looking into it, i’m kinda tempted to try it. i’m 33 years old, and honestly i just want healthier-looking skin. it doesn’t have to be perfect, i just want my skin to look brighter and feel smoother, without that rough texture.

so for this kind of goal, do you guys think it’s worth buying the device or should i just stick to my regular skincare? i’m thinking about leveling up my routine by trying a device like this, but i’m still sooo on the fence. has anyone actually tried it or at least using a tool during your skincare routine?
