Three GREY partner clinics are in or next to Myeongdong. REDI Dermatology is in Bangbae and should be planned as a separate journey.
- Leave time for consultation, cleansing and photos.
- Do not assume a recovery-free day until the exact procedure is confirmed.
- Ask about makeup, sun exposure, flying and alcohol afterward.
Compare the treatment—not only the name
HIFU, skin booster, Botox and pico are categories, not complete treatment plans.
- Confirm the exact product or device.
- Compare dose, cc, shots, area and downtime.
- GREY asks the clinic for the current total before booking.
What GREY checks before booking
We confirm the clinic, product or device, amount, area, total price and follow-up route.
- No passport details are needed for the first inquiry.
- We help pass relevant medication, allergy, implant and recent-procedure information.
- You pay the clinic directly; GREY charges no booking fee.
General planning information only. The treating clinic decides medical suitability, timing and aftercare.
