During peak seasons (March\u2013May, September\u2013November), 2\u20133 weeks ahead is recommended. Contact Rappoel via WeChat or LINE with your desired dates and treatment interests.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">Can I get treatments during my menstrual cycle?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">Non-invasive skin treatments are generally fine. For injectable treatments (filler, Coretox) and laser, it’s best to avoid the 2\u20133 days before and during your period due to reduced platelet function and higher bruising risk.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">Do I need to fast before my appointment?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">No fasting required for aesthetic injections or laser procedures. Eat normally \u2014 just avoid alcohol on the treatment day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">Can multiple treatments be done in the same visit?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">Some combinations are done in one session (e.g., HA filler + Coretox). Others should be separated (e.g., injections and heat-based treatments ideally not same day). Tell your physician all planned treatments upfront for optimal scheduling.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">What should I avoid during my Seoul trip after treatment?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">After injectables: avoid sauna, intense exercise on treatment day. After laser: strict sun protection, avoid prolonged direct sunlight. Most treatments don’t prevent normal sightseeing and shopping.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">If I have a concern after returning home, can Rappoel help remotely?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">Yes. Most mild post-treatment concerns (light bruising, minor asymmetry) resolve naturally. For anything notable, Rappoel’s physicians are reachable via WeChat\/LINE for remote guidance.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cta\">\n<h3>Book Your Seoul Aesthetic Visit | Rappoel Clinic<\/h3>\n<p>\ud83d\udccd 77, Seocho-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd50 Mon\u2013Fri 10:00\u201319:00 \u00b7 Sat 10:00\u201317:00<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcac WeChat Main: rappoelkr | WeChat Backup: rappoelkr2 | LINE: rappoelkr<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:16px;font-size:13px;color:#8B7355;\">Scan to connect with us<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:flex;justify-content:center;gap:16px;flex-wrap:wrap;margin-top:10px;\">\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rappoel-clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rappoel\u5fae\u4fe1\u4e8c\u7ef4\u7801\uff08\u4e3b\u53f7\uff09-1.png\" alt=\"WeChat Main QR Code\" style=\"width:120px;height:120px;border-radius:6px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:11px;color:#6b5240;margin-top:4px;\">WeChat (Main)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rappoel-clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rappoel\u5fae\u4fe1\u4e8c\u7ef4\u7801\uff08\u5907\u7528\u53f7\uff09-1.png\" alt=\"WeChat Backup QR Code\" style=\"width:120px;height:120px;border-radius:6px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:11px;color:#6b5240;margin-top:4px;\">WeChat (Backup)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rappoel-clinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Line\u4e8c\u7ef4\u7801-1.jpg\" alt=\"LINE QR Code\" style=\"width:120px;height:120px;border-radius:6px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:11px;color:#6b5240;margin-top:4px;\">LINE<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/body><br \/>\n<\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First time getting aesthetics in Seoul?
