Discussing your priorities with Dr. Dae-woo Ko

Start with the concern and a diagnosis rather than choosing a device from a treatment menu. Pigmentation, redness, acne and scarring can require different approaches even when they look similar. Ask how your skin type, medications, previous reactions and exposure to sun affect treatment choice.

Explain your current skincare routine and any recent peels, lasers or injections. Discuss the expected number of visits, downtime, pigment changes, maintenance and the total treatment course. A single-session advertisement is not a substitute for an individual plan.

Make the consultation useful

Before meeting Dr. Dae-woo Ko, write down your main concern, how long it has affected you, what you have already tried and what a worthwhile improvement would mean in everyday life. Bring relevant clinical records and a list of medicines, supplements and allergies. If you have had earlier treatment, include the dates and any complications.

  • What is the diagnosis behind my skin concern?
  • How is the treatment adapted to my skin type?
  • Which changes need prompt medical advice?
  • How many visits and what maintenance may be needed?

Ask the doctor to explain the reasoning behind the proposed plan, including alternatives and the option of not proceeding. Confirm who will perform the treatment, who will review your recovery and how to obtain help outside the planned visits. For care abroad, discuss the follow-up arrangements before paying for treatment or booking a return flight.
