Consultation Compass
04
Four details make your first enquiry clearer.
Keep the initial message brief, factual and focused on information that helps with appointment preparation.
Initial Enquiry & Consultation
Prepare your pre-visit consultation.
Share your concerns and Seoul travel plans with LOUAVE Dermatology Clinic before arrival. This guide explains what to prepare, what may be discussed remotely and what still requires an in-person assessment.
Use the first conversation to prepare—not self-diagnose.
A preliminary consultation enquiry can help the clinic understand your main concerns, preferred dates, previous procedures and travel limitations. It may also help you identify useful questions before arriving in Seoul.
It cannot replace examination of skin texture, facial anatomy, active conditions or medical history. Treatment recommendations discussed before arrival may change after an in-person assessment.
The term “free consultation” on this guide refers to
preparing an initial enquiry. The availability, format
and scope of any complimentary consultation must be
confirmed directly with LOUAVE.
Your Concern
Explain the main skin, facial or body concern you want to discuss without attempting to diagnose it yourself.
Your History
Mention recent procedures, relevant medication, allergies and active skin conditions.
Your Dates
Share arrival, departure, preferred appointment and important event dates.
Your Questions
Ask about appointment availability, consultation, possible recovery and what information to bring.

Photo Guidance
Photos can provide context— not a diagnosis.
Only send photographs when appropriate and requested. Avoid filters or editing that may change visible features.
In-Person Consultation
Lighting, texture, movement and anatomy are assessed more accurately at the clinic.
Avoid strong shadows, coloured lighting and flash glare where practical.
Beauty filters and automatic enhancement may hide texture, pigmentation or redness.
A front view and relevant side views may provide clearer context when photographs are requested.
Do not send unrelated identity, financial or highly sensitive information through a general enquiry.
What Happens Next
From enquiry to clinic consultation.
Response and appointment timing depend on clinic availability. Do not treat a sent message as confirmation.
Send Enquiry
Provide the practical details needed to understand your appointment request.
Clinic Review
The clinic may review availability and request additional booking information.
Confirmation
Save the approved date and reply as required to complete the reservation process.
In-Person Assessment
Discuss suitability, alternatives, final price, recovery and consent before treatment.
Is the consultation always free?
Complimentary consultation availability, format and scope must be confirmed directly with the clinic. Do not assume every consultation or assessment is free.
Can I receive a diagnosis from photographs?
No. Photographs may provide limited visual context but cannot replace examination, medical history and individual assessment.
Can the clinic confirm my exact treatment remotely?
A possible treatment category may be discussed, but exact device, product, dosage, area and combination require consultation.
Does an enquiry confirm my appointment?
No. Wait for the clinic to approve a specific date and time and complete any requested confirmation step.
Should I send my passport or medical records?
Do not send highly sensitive documents through a general enquiry unless the clinic specifically requests them through an appropriate process.
How quickly will the clinic respond?
Response timing depends on Korean business hours, weekends, public holidays and current enquiry volume. No fixed response time is guaranteed.
International Appointment Enquiry
Prepare your questions before your Seoul consultation.
Share your preferred dates, main concerns, relevant treatment history and Seoul travel schedule. Final suitability and treatment details require consultation.
