Coordinating Treatment with a Kansai Visit
It is recommended to confirm the treatment course before arranging activities for the same day and the next day. Itineraries such as outdoor walks in Kyoto, Universal Studios, hot springs and long periods of sun exposure may need to be adjusted in accordance with post-operative care. The post-operative treatment of laser, injection and surgery is different. Whether a follow-up visit is required and when you can take a flight are subject to the doctor's actual treatment arrangements.
Aesthetic Clinics in Osaka: Frequently Asked Questions
Is Aesthetic Treatment in Japan Always Less Expensive?
Not necessarily. In addition to the price of the treatment course, you should also consider the cost of initial consultation, foreign tourists' increased prices, medicines and follow-up consultations; if you make a special trip to Japan, you must also calculate the air tickets and accommodation.
Can I make a reservation even if I don’t speak Japanese?
Some clinics provide information or communication support in Chinese. It is recommended to confirm whether the consultation and treatment instructions can be completed in Chinese when making an appointment.
Do Aesthetic Treatments Qualify for Tax-Free Shopping?
The tax-free shopping system for tourists visiting Japan applies to eligible goods, and beauty and medical services cannot be directly treated as tax-free shopping.
Can I Fly Home Immediately After Treatment?
It needs to be judged based on the individual treatment course and physical condition. It is best to confirm the return consultation and flight arrangements during the reservation stage.
