Why records matter
A clear record of what was done in Seoul helps a doctor at home continue your care safely, manage any complications and avoid duplicating treatments. This is especially important for fillers and collagen stimulators, which stay in the skin, and for botulinum toxins, where units differ between brands.
What to request
- Treatment summary in English with dates and areas treated.
- Product names and amounts: brand, units for toxins, cc for fillers and boosters.
- Device names and key settings for lasers and energy treatments.
- Any prescriptions with drug names and doses.
- Aftercare instructions.
- Receipts and, if needed for insurance, a medical certificate.
Timing and fees
Some documents, especially formal certificates, may take time to prepare and may carry a fee. Request records on the day of treatment or at least a day before you leave Seoul. Formal certificates are often in Korean, with English versions available at some clinics on request.
What to expect at The Heal Sinsa
At The Heal Dermatology Sinsa Main Branch, you can ask for treatment details and documents at checkout. English and Traditional Chinese support is available on request to explain what each document includes. Availability and any fees are confirmed at the clinic.

Privacy
Medical records are personal health information. Clinics in Korea handle records under privacy rules, and you may be asked to confirm your identity when requesting documents. Keep your copies secure and share them only with doctors or insurers who need them.
Planning around your trip to Seoul
Make a checklist of records you need before your final appointment. See insurance receipts and documents and follow-up after returning home.
Questions to ask the clinic
Ask which documents are available in English, how long they take, whether there is a fee and whether product lot numbers can be included. This helps you leave Seoul with everything you need.
Keeping records organised
Store digital copies in one folder along with before and after photos and receipts. This makes it easier to share with doctors at home, compare results over time and plan future treatments.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get my medical records in English in Seoul?
Many Seoul clinics can provide English summaries or receipts on request. Formal certificates may be in Korean first. Ask in advance, as preparation can take time and may involve a fee.
Why do I need product names and doses?
Products and units differ between brands, and fillers remain in the skin. Knowing exactly what was used helps a doctor at home plan touch-ups safely and manage any problems. Keep them safe.
Can someone else collect my records for me?
Korean privacy rules restrict who can access medical records. A representative usually needs specific documents and authorisation. Check with the clinic in advance, or request records yourself before leaving Seoul.
