Korea Beauty & Travel Guide — independent publisher information

What this site is

A bilingual guide for international visitors planning aesthetic, dermatology, or wellness procedures in Seoul, Incheon, and surrounding areas. We cover device modalities (HIFU, RF, laser, threads), price benchmarks (OECD, KHIDI, ISAPS), travel logistics (visa, transit, recovery time), and neighborhood guides (Gangnam, Myeongdong, Incheon Airport).

Editorial process

• Sources: public clinic listings, peer-reviewed studies (PubMed, JAMA Dermatology, Lasers Surg Med), regulatory databases (US FDA, EU CE, KR MFDS), and tourism-industry reports (KHIDI, ISAPS, Bookimed).
• Pricing: we publish market-average ranges from public surveys; we do not quote individual clinic prices, and we do not compare named competitors. Readers should request quotes directly.
• Updates: reviewed quarterly; statistically significant updates are flagged with a "last reviewed" date in the meta header.
• Medical review (when applicable): procedure pages may be reviewed by an aesthetic-medicine physician; the reviewer's general credentials (specialty + license jurisdiction) are listed in the page header. Reviewer presence is optional and clearly stated.

What we are not

• We are not a hospital, clinic, or licensed medical practice.
• We do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
• We are not a booking platform; the consultation form on each page forwards inquiries to multilingual coordinators who can refer readers to verified Seoul-area aesthetic clinics.
• We do not collect or sell health-condition data. The form retains contact details for 5 years (post-trip support window) and is then automatically purged.
