Treatments before sunny vacation - what to do?

Hi everyone!

I will be traveling to Seoul for 5 days at the end of July. Afterwards I will continue to travel for a few more weeks, mostly going to be outdoor and sunny. I really want to do skin treatments in Seoul, but I'm struggling to figure out what is safe given my itinerary.

My constraints:

  • Treatments that can provide long lasting result from one session (since I can't do multiple sessions)
  • Sun-safe/ low downtime. I wouldn't want to risk more pigmentation/ damage to my skin after treatment with the sun
  • Non surgical and not interested in botox

My skin concerns are pitted acne scars, early signs of aging, pigmentation, sagging cheeks.

I was originally planning to book a consultation with a dermatologist. But if I can’t actually do most advanced treatments because of the sun/single-session situation, I wonder if paying the higher price is worth it? Or should I just save my money, go to a cheaper factory clinic, and stick to light treatments?

Is there any possibility for advanced treatments that fit my situation, or should I just stick to basic treatments? I'm also not familiar with the treatments so if recommendations are welcome too :)

Alipay account restricted

So I signed up to Alipay first with my phone number, I did the ID verification and got the "id validated not authenticated" issue. The app kept asking me to put a mainland China bank account. I then read a post on this sub, to delete the account and sign up again with my email address.

Which I did.. I uploaded my passport photo. And now it says my account is restricted. I clicked on Appeal and it first kept asking me to scan my passport. But everytime it says Authentication Failed.

I kept trying and now the scan passport option is not there anymore, it insists on passport chip/ NFC verification. And my passport has it, but the app again kept saying that it failed.

Anyone else had this issue? What to do?

My wechat account somehow also couldn't be verified. I contacted their support and they said they're looking into it (has been 2 days now).

I stop using wifi when registering with these apps as some posts mentioned mobile network is better..

Hi everyone, when microdosing caapi vine, do you follow the same diet for Ayahuasca? I don't know how necessary the diet is for a microdose. I'm especially curious about allergic medication, since it's hay fever season now where I live so I need to take some antihistamine sometimes..
