How consultations with our doctors work
Your visit begins with a conversation. The doctor asks about your concerns, medical history, medications and schedule, then examines your skin in person. Based on that, they explain which treatments might help, how many sessions are typical, what recovery looks like and what side effects to watch for.
You are free to ask questions, take time to think or choose a more conservative plan. For visitors, the doctor can also suggest how to space treatments around flight dates. Interpretation support in English, Japanese and Chinese is available.
Can I request a specific doctor?
If you would like to see a particular doctor, mention it when you contact the clinic by phone, WhatsApp, LINE or KakaoTalk. Requests depend on each doctor's schedule on the day, so booking earlier gives more flexibility. The clinic assigns doctors based on availability and your needs; it does not publish fixed doctor-to-treatment assignments.
