In most cases, yes. A friend, partner or family member can usually accompany you to Re:berry Hongdae and wait in the reception area. Whether they can join the consultation or treatment room depends on privacy, hygiene and space, so please mention it when booking. Friends who also want treatment should book their own consultation.
Re:berry Clinic Hongdae · Information reviewed for accuracy · Results vary by individual.
Can my friend come into the consultation?
Many patients like having a friend or partner in the consultation to help remember details or ask questions. This is often possible with your consent. Keep in mind that the doctor will ask about medical history, medications and sometimes pregnancy, so choose a companion you are comfortable sharing that information with. You can also ask to speak privately for part of the consultation.
Can they stay during the treatment?
Treatment rooms may have limited space, and some procedures require a clean environment or protective eyewear. For lasers, injections and thread lifts, companions are often asked to wait outside. For simpler treatments, it may be possible for them to stay nearby. The team will advise on the day.
Can we book treatments together?
Yes, and many friends and couples do. Each person needs an individual consultation, because plans are based on diagnosis, not on a shared package. Re:berry's approach means two people asking for the same treatment may receive different recommendations. When booking, mention that you are coming together so times can be arranged close to each other. See how consultation works.
Can a friend interpret for me?
A friend can help you communicate, but for medical information it is important that you clearly understand risks and aftercare yourself. Multilingual consultation support is available; confirm languages when booking. Read interpreter and language support.
Are children allowed?
Bringing young children may be difficult, since you will need to focus during consultation and the team cannot supervise them during treatment. Under-19 patients may need a guardian present or a guardian's consent for certain procedures.
Tips for visiting with a companion
- Arrive together a little early for registration.
- Plan a gentle activity afterward, as you may have redness or swelling.
- Agree on travel home if you are having a treatment with more downtime.

Can my partner and I have treatments at the same time?
Often yes, if both schedules and treatment rooms allow. You will each have your own consultation and plan. Mention that you would like to be seen together when booking so the team can arrange times as close as possible. Treatment lengths may differ, so one of you may wait briefly.
Can my friend take photos during my treatment?
Photography inside treatment rooms may be restricted to protect the privacy of other patients and staff. Ask the team before taking photos or videos. Medical photos for tracking results are taken by the clinic with your consent and handled confidentially as part of your medical record.
Do companions need to register?
Companions who are not receiving treatment usually do not need to register, though reception may ask their name for practical reasons. If your companion also decides to have a consultation, they will complete their own registration and medical questionnaire before being seen.
