My partner and I both want skin treatments in Seoul, but we’re traveling with young kids. Can we take turns while the kids wait in a separate room?

How taking turns works

When you book, tell us that two adults would like consultations or treatments and that you are bringing children. We plan the order so one parent is in a consultation or treatment while the other stays with the children in the separate reception room, then you swap. If you would rather be seen at the same time and have another adult with the children, the clinic has 8 or more consultation rooms, so that can be arranged too.

Each parent has their own skin assessment and consultation with a doctor and decides on their own treatment. Same-day treatment after diagnosis is possible; the doctor decides based on the treatment type and skin condition.

Making the visit easier with children

Weekends and public holidays are open from 10:00 to 18:00, and weekdays from 10:00 to 20:00, so you can pick a time that fits nap times and sightseeing. You can get around the clinic with a stroller. The clinic does not provide childcare staff, so a parent or accompanying adult needs to stay with the children at all times.

If a child needs to be seen

Doctor Kim Hyojin, a board-certified pediatrician at REPIC Clinic Gangnam, can see a child traveling with you for skin troubles that come up during the trip, such as heat rash, insect bites or an eczema flare-up. Tell us the child’s age and symptoms when you book.

How to book

1. Message us or book online, mentioning two adults and the number of children.
2. Tell us whether you want to take turns or be seen at the same time.
3. We confirm a schedule and have the reception room ready.
4. On the day, one parent stays with the children while the other is seen, then you swap.
