Q&A
Do I Need a Consultation Before Treatment?

Yes. At Re:berry Hongdae, every treatment begins with a doctor's consultation. The doctor assesses your skin, reviews your medical history, explains suitable options, risks and downtime, and confirms pricing in writing before anything is performed. Treatment can often follow on the same day if you agree and it is medically appropriate.

Why does Re:berry require a consultation?

The Re:berry network's philosophy is diagnosis before packages. Two people asking for the same treatment may need very different plans, because the cause of their concern is different. A brown patch may be melasma or a sun spot; a tired jawline may be fat, laxity or muscle. Treating the wrong cause wastes time and money and can make some conditions worse.

A consultation also protects your safety. Some medications, conditions and recent treatments change what is suitable or require different timing.

What happens during the consultation?

  1. Your goals: What bothers you, and what outcome you hope for.
  2. Medical history: Medications, allergies, pregnancy, past treatments and reactions.
  3. Skin assessment: The doctor examines your skin and identifies the main drivers.
  4. Options: Suitable treatments or combinations, with expected downtime, sessions and realistic results.
  5. Risks: Possible side effects and how they are managed.
  6. Written quote: Pricing depends on area, shot count and plan, and is confirmed in writing.

Can I get treatment the same day?

Often, yes, if you agree with the plan and the doctor considers it appropriate. Some situations call for waiting, for example a recent tan before laser, an active infection or a medication that needs to be paused. If you are visiting Seoul, mention your dates when booking so the schedule fits your trip.

Do I need a new consultation for repeat treatments?

For follow-up sessions in a planned course, a brief review is usually enough. If your skin, health or goals have changed, or a long time has passed, a fuller consultation is sensible.
