No-Downtime Skin Treatments in Seoul
“No downtime” usually means you can go back to normal life straight away — not that there will be no redness at all. Here’s what to realistically expect.
Treatments that usually allow you to carry on with sightseeing the same day include LDM, pico toning, Botox, Ultherapy and Thermage. Skin boosters such as Rejuran often leave small bumps for a day or so, and fillers can cause mild swelling or bruising for a few days. Everyone heals differently, so confirm with your doctor.
