Before your CELITA visit: passport, medications, flights

What must I bring to my visit?

Your identity is checked at reception, so be sure to bring ID; visitors from abroad should bring their passport.

The ID check at the 4th-floor reception takes about 5 minutes. Payment is made after the consultation and before treatment, by card, cash or bank transfer.

Having the booking chat from your messaging app ready makes it easy to confirm your booking details.

What health information should I share with the medical team?

Tell us about any medications and supplements you take, allergies, chronic conditions and previous cosmetic treatments.

The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) advises telling your provider about everything you take before filler treatment, including over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and herbal remedies, giving warfarin, aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, St. John's wort and garlic or ginger supplements as examples. Some blood-thinning medicines can raise the risk of bleeding and bruising, but do not stop any medication on your own; talk to the doctor who prescribed it.

Allergies, bleeding disorders, recurring cold sores (lip blisters), heart conditions, previous injectable or implant procedures and easily irritated skin are also important to share. If you have an implanted device such as a pacemaker or defibrillator, some lifting devices cannot be used, so be sure to mention it. Bringing photos of medicine packaging or prescriptions makes it easier to convey medication names accurately.

What should I sort out before the consultation?

It helps to narrow down the concerns you want to improve to 2-3 and rank them.

At CELITA Clinic, after the intake consultation the Director personally assesses you and creates a tailored treatment plan, and ranked priorities make it possible to plan more accurately within a limited stay.

It also helps to tell us your arrival and departure dates in Korea and any important events after your visit. CELITA Clinic adjusts treatment with your departure date in mind, including whether flying or wearing makeup on the same day is possible.

Can I wear makeup to my appointment?

Yes. At the clinic, you will cleanse your face for about 5 minutes to remove makeup and sunscreen.

After cleansing, the visit proceeds with AI skin analysis (about 10 minutes), consultation (about 20 minutes), payment and treatment (about 30 minutes to 1 hour including numbing); allow about 1-2 hours in total for consultation and treatment.

Whether you need to fast, take medication or wash your face differs by treatment, so it is a good idea to confirm in advance through a one-on-one message. Sedation is not provided as standard, and numbing cream is considered depending on the type of treatment.
