I just got several treatments done including skin Botox (dermotoxin) which I’ve never gotten before and I got soooo itchy after! Wondering if I messed up my results by rubbing my face??

I had Thermage, Ultherapy, a hydrating facial, and then skin Botox (by far the most painful jfc) done in the afternoon. I left in the early evening and walked around for about an hour. I felt fine, just a little tight, but after an hour I started feeling slight tingling. About 5 hours post-procedures, the itch became unbearable and I got in a lukewarm shower and rubbed the crap out of my face under the water. I didn’t cleanse per their instructions but I pretty much rubbed until I was no longer itchy then I put on the moisturizer they gave me and now I feel fine. However I’m worried that rubbing so hard may have moved the Botox around and messed me up? I’ve never gotten Botox let alone skin Botox done before so idk how this affects me. Have I damaged my results? ):

Side note: I’m shocked everyone says Ultherapy is so painful. I’ve had it done twice now, 300 shots before then 600 shots today, and it was mildly uncomfortable at worst. Thermage, microneedling, and skin Botox were far, far more painful for me.

Looking for spas open in the evening (6-8pm) this week for facial and facial elasticity massage in or nearby Insadong. I am traveling with a baby so I can only go during the evening hours. I am also looking for a place to get recommendations on skin care products as I have very sensitive skin and rosacea. Thank you in advance!

I thought Olive Young was the best way to go but, I saw a few people saying to avoid it and simply buy from LotteDutyFree because it’s cheaper and better prices? Though, I’m not seeing a lot of brands I usually buy from :[

Does anyone have any suggestions or advice? I’d also love to know your favorite essences/toners or moisturizers to grab when there! I have no idea how the app works and how I’m meant to pick it up from the airport 😅

I’m visiting South Korea in a few weeks, staying for 10/11 days and want to get 2/3 rounds of laser toning done to target hyperpigmentation. I have done some research, which has suggested either Pico or Nd:YAG would be appropriate. Though it seems most clinics only offer pico.

As a woman of colour, I have my concerns of hypopigmentation. I was wondering if anyone on here has had any experiences of laser toning in Seoul or recommendations for clinics that work well with deeper skin tones? I also have sensitive and somewhat acne-prone skin.

If you have alternative recommendations for treating hyperpigmentation, please do comment!

Thanks in advance.

I went to Korea a few years ago and feel like the pricing for skincare and lifting treatments is way higher now. I’ve been comparing clinics and some quotes are honestly all over the place for similar treatments. I was checking out a few places in seoul including Egg Clinic because someone recommended them to me but curious what clinics people here actually thought were worth the money recently

Hi all,

I’m going to Korea later this year and I want to get a color/body analysis however one I am a person of color and am plus sized. I have been looking into it but have not seen any posts about experiences with this. I know I’m going to feel uncomfortable some but would it still be a good idea to proceed with doing so. Are the places going to refuse to help me because of this? Any recommendations on a place that made you feel very comfortable? Thank you!

Are there any clinics that specialize in nonsurgical body tightening and skin rejuvenation? Specifically I’m looking to treat minor loose and crepey skin on my abdomen, knees and neck.

Can we please have more discussion about downtime? I watch all these influencer videos and read all these posts about procedures, but I cannot find any information about downtime, maybe some people are lucky and don’t look like shit after or pick things that don’t make them look crazy after.

I only planned five days in Seoul. I had my procedure the day after I landed. 2 vials in upper face, two vials in the lower face and one vial to the neck. I chose this because I only have one opportunity and I needed to hit it hard. Some areas were cannula and others were direct injection. I have been marshmallow man with a black eye for 48 hours. I’m a tourist so I still have to go out and get food, see some places etc. but I guess I just walk around pretending that this isn’t what I look like.

I’m visiting Korea soon and planning to get my first tattoo there and I am really interested in ornamental-style tattoos, so I’d appreciate any recommendations for artists who specialize in that kind of work. Since it’ll be my first tattoo, I want to make sure I choose the right artist and end up with something I’ll love and not regret later on lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am looking to get balayage without bleach.

I am finding huge discrepancy in quote on Instagram vs naver maps

Same colorist is asking the double amount on insta 323,000 vs 170,000 on naver maps

Is naver one has hidden charge? Or i am being asked foreigner amount on insta..

What should be normal amount here?
