Why do first visits take longer?
Your first appointment includes registration, medical history and a full consultation. Re:berry's approach is diagnosis before packages, so time is spent understanding your skin rather than rushing to treatment. Return visits for the same treatment are usually quicker. See how consultation works.
What can make an appointment longer?
- Combining several treatments in one visit
- Waiting for numbing cream to take full effect
- Language support or translation of documents
- Busy times such as weekends
Tips for planning your day
If you are visiting Seoul, avoid booking treatments right before a flight or a tight schedule. Allow a buffer of at least an hour beyond the estimated time, especially on a first visit. Check Location & Hours for opening hours, and read what to bring to speed up registration.
How long are follow-up visits?
Review appointments, such as a two-week Botox check, are often short, sometimes 10–20 minutes. Repeat sessions in a series, like laser toning, also tend to be quicker because your history and plan are already on record. Visit length still varies with how busy the clinic is on the day.

Related questions
Can I do consultation and treatment on the same day?
Often, yes. Many patients have a consultation and treatment in one visit if the doctor considers it suitable and time allows. Some treatments may need preparation or a waiting period. See whether same-day treatment is possible when you book. Mention it when booking so enough time is reserved.
How long does numbing cream take?
Numbing cream usually needs about 20–40 minutes to work, depending on the product and the treatment area. It is commonly used for filler, skin boosters, lasers and lifting treatments. Botox often does not require numbing cream. Arriving a little early helps keep your appointment on schedule.
Should I allow extra time after my appointment?
Yes, especially for treatments with redness or swelling. Allow time to rest, apply sunscreen and review aftercare instructions. If you are traveling, avoid scheduling a flight or important event immediately after your visit. A relaxed schedule also makes it easier to ask questions.
