INTRODUCTION
────────────────────────────────────
If you are planning skin tightening, filler, botulinum toxin or skin booster treatments during a trip to Korea, checking the clinic's location alone is not enough. You should also check the doctors' backgrounds and main areas of practice, the expected recovery time after treatment, your travel schedule in Korea, the languages available for consultation, and how to ask follow-up questions after you return home.
T1 Clinic is an aesthetic medical clinic located near Samseong Station in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. It offers injectable treatments such as fillers and botulinum toxin, as well as a range of non-surgical lifting treatments including Ulthera Prime and Thermage FLX. International patients can send their preferred treatments, doctor, visit dates and consultation language through Prettykeep to check availability.

WHAT KIND OF CLINIC IS T1 CLINIC?
────────────────────────────────────
T1 Clinic describes its approach as one-to-one customised treatment that takes the patient's facial structure and skin condition into account. The clinic explains that it focuses on three elements during treatment planning.
1) Design based on the individual face
Even for the same filler or lifting treatment, the plan can differ depending on face shape, left-right balance, fat distribution and the degree of skin laxity. Rather than copying a specific face shape a patient brings in, the process involves assessing the current face and deciding on a direction for improvement.
2) The skin layer a treatment reaches
Ultrasound lifting, radiofrequency lifting, fillers and skin boosters each target different skin layers and work in different ways. Combining many treatments does not always produce a better result, so it is important to confirm whether a treatment is actually needed for your skin condition.
3) Detailed method by treatment area
For injectable treatments such as botulinum toxin and fillers, the plan changes with the injection site, depth and volume used. T1 Clinic emphasises building a plan around facial structure and treatment area rather than applying one fixed method.

MAIN TREATMENTS AT T1 CLINIC
────────────────────────────────────
T1 Clinic offers injectable treatments such as botulinum toxin and fillers, skin boosters, non-surgical lifting and skin care programmes. Whether a treatment can actually be performed, and which treatment suits you, is decided after consultation with a doctor.
[SKIN BOTOX]
Skin botox involves injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into relatively superficial layers of the skin across many points. It can be discussed for fine lines, skin texture, pores, excess sebum and overall facial skin condition. The injection depth and purpose can differ from conventional muscle botulinum toxin. Rather than applying it uniformly across the whole face, the plan should be made area by area after checking skin condition and the movement of the facial muscles.
[BOTULINUM TOXIN AND BODY TOXIN]
Botulinum toxin can be considered for expression lines or for concerns about specific over-developed muscles. In addition to the face, body toxin for areas such as the trapezius or calves can also be discussed. Because the plan varies with product type, dose and treatment area, it is a good idea to confirm the exact product name and expected dose during consultation.
[FILLERS AND LIFTING FILLER]
Fillers are injectable treatments that can be discussed for hollow areas, volume or contour of the face. T1 Clinic introduces a lifting filler designed by distinguishing fixed and mobile areas of the face as one of its signature programmes. Results and duration can differ depending on the product type, injection site and volume used. If you have had filler before, tell the doctor the product name, treatment area and date.
[ULTHERA PRIME]
Ulthera Prime is a non-surgical lifting device that uses focused ultrasound energy. It can be discussed if you are concerned about reduced skin firmness or changes to your facial line. The treatment area and number of shots can vary with skin thickness, facial structure and fat distribution. Rather than simply choosing the programme with the most shots, it is important to confirm which areas actually need treatment.
[THERMAGE FLX]
Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency energy to help improve skin firmness. Consultation is possible for the whole face or for specific areas such as around the eyes. Ulthera Prime and Thermage FLX use different types of energy and target different skin layers. Receiving both is not necessary for everyone, so decide based on your current skin condition and budget.
[ONDA LIFTING]
Onda is a device that uses microwave energy. It can be discussed for concerns about fat and firmness in facial or body areas. Treatment areas and the number of sessions needed can vary from person to person. If you are planning treatment during a trip, check in advance how long swelling, heat sensation and discomfort may last.
[INMODE RF, VIRTUE RF AND SHURINK UNIVERSE]
T1 Clinic also offers lifting and radiofrequency devices including InMode RF, Virtue RF, Shurink Universe, Coregy and Onda lifting. Each device uses different energy, reaches a different depth and suits different candidates. Rather than choosing by device name or event price, it is better to consult based on the area you want to improve.
[COLLAGEN INJECTIONS AND SKIN BOOSTERS]
Published treatment items include collagen-related injections and skin boosters such as Juvelook, Sculptra, Rejutuo and T1 Hybrid. T1 Hybrid is introduced by the clinic as a full-face collagen injection programme that considers collagen formation and skin hydration together. Because ingredients, injection methods and recommended intervals differ by product, confirm the exact product name and dose.
[PIGMENTATION, ACNE AND SKIN CARE]
T1 Clinic also offers laser devices and skin care programmes including PicoSure, IPL, Neobeam, CO2 laser, Apogee Plus, Black Peel, Lala Peel, Aladdin Peel, oxygen de-melapeel, acne extraction and soothing care, and brightening and vitamin care. If your skin is sensitive or you are allergic to certain ingredients, you must tell the medical staff before any care or treatment.
────────────────────────────────────
WHAT TO CHECK BEFORE BOOKING
────────────────────────────────────
[YOUR SCHEDULE IN KOREA]
Plan consultation and treatment dates around your arrival and departure dates. If you have treatment right before departure, you may have to fly with swelling, bruising or redness still present. If you have an important photo shoot, wedding or travel plan, it is best to mention it before booking.
[PREVIOUS TREATMENT HISTORY]
Please prepare the following as far as possible.
- Treatments you have had before
- Areas treated
- Treatment dates
- Product names used
- Any adverse reactions after previous treatment
- Experience with filler or botulinum toxin
In particular, if existing filler may still be present, you must disclose this before any new filler treatment.
[MEDICATIONS AND HEALTH CONDITIONS]
Current medications, allergies and existing conditions should also be shared during consultation. Some treatments may not be suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have skin inflammation, or take certain medications.
[EXPECTED COST]
Cost can vary with the product used, treatment area, dose and number of shots, the doctor's treatment plan, anaesthesia or sedation care, additional skin care, and whether VAT is included. Past event prices posted online or another patient's cost cannot be assumed to be the current price. The final cost may change after consultation.
