A 3-day Seoul plan

Day 1: arrive and keep the schedule light. Day 2: consultation and a lower-downtime treatment if the clinic agrees. Day 3: allow time to contact the clinic before flying.

A 5-day Seoul plan

Day 1: arrive. Day 2: consultation and treatment. Days 3–4: monitor expected redness or swelling and keep one flexible day. Day 5: fly after following the clinic’s instructions.

A 7-day Seoul plan

Day 1: arrive. Day 2: consultation and treatment. Days 3–5: recovery buffer. Day 6: contact the clinic if anything needs review. Day 7: travel, subject to the clinic’s advice.

Match the plan to the exact treatment

HydraFacial or Botox often needs less itinerary buffer than injectables that cause bumps or resurfacing lasers that peel. GREY confirms the exact product or device and asks the clinic about realistic downtime.

Do not leave treatment until the last hours before a flight

Whenever possible, keep enough time after treatment to notice an unexpected reaction and contact the treating clinic. The clinic—not GREY—decides whether flying is appropriate.

Important events need a longer buffer

Bruising, swelling, bumps, peeling or redness can last longer than an average estimate. Tell us your event date before booking so the clinic can advise on timing.
