Having a GOURI consultation in Daegu — the order we work through
A good consultation ends with you able to picture what you will see, and when. This is the order we actually work through for GOURI — and the same things are worth checking at any clinic.
The short answer
This is the order we actually work through in a GOURI consultation. (1) Separate what has gone, area by area; (2) put the goal into one sentence; (3) settle which plane and how many points; (4) set sessions and intervals; (5) give you the threshold for calling afterwards. The aim is that by the end you can picture what you will see, and when.
The order we work through
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. What has gone | The weighting of skin quality, volume, laxity and pigment, area by area. It is common for GOURI to drop out here |
| 2. The goal in a sentence | “Better overall” cannot be judged later. We build one sentence naming an area and a change |
| 3. Injection design | Aiming for the deep dermis, we set spacing and volume by area. Thin areas get less |
| 4. Sessions and intervals | One session to begin, with a four-week review booked. Further sessions at four to six weeks |
| 5. Before treatment | That there is no reversal injection, when the timing is better moved, and what is already in place |
| 6. When to call | What to watch for and when to call, plus the route to reach us |
What we do not do
- We do not ask for a same-day decision. All the more so for a material with no reversal injection.
- We do not disparage other clinics' work.
- We do not rank products. Ones aimed at different things cannot be put in a single line.
- We do not discuss treatment prices in these columns or on the site. Price at the front of the order crowds out everything else.
Worth bringing with you
- Records of previous treatments — what, when, and where. A material with no reversal injection in the same area changes the design above it.
- Medication you are taking — blood thinners especially. Please do not stop anything on your own; just tell us.
- A before photo — it makes the twelve-week comparison far more accurate. We keep one too.
- Your calendar — if vaccination or dental work is close by, we move the date.
Four questions you can ask at any clinic
- “In my case, is what has gone texture, volume or descent?” — see whether the answer breaks down by area.
- “Which plane, and across how many points?” — the key question for a spreading formulation.
- “How much to begin with, and when do you review?” — with no reversal injection, a conservative start is safer.
- “What should I watch for afterwards, and how do I reach you?” — check there is a threshold and a route.
A consultation on its own is fine
At steps one and two we often find that something other than GOURI suits better — usually when volume or laxity is the main issue. In that case that is what we recommend, and deciding against treatment is a normal outcome of a consultation.
What to settle is in seven things to settle first, and the breakdown by skin state in which skin it suits.
Frequently asked questions
How does a GOURI consultation in Daegu work?
It starts by separating what has gone, area by area. Then the goal goes into one sentence, we settle which plane and how many points and the sessions and intervals, and finally we give you the threshold for calling afterwards.
Can I just have the consultation?
Yes. We often find that something other than GOURI suits better — usually when volume or laxity is the main issue — and that is what we then recommend.
What should I prepare beforehand?
Records of previous treatments (what, when, where), medication, a before photo, and any vaccination or dental appointments coming up. With those four the injection design gets considerably more accurate.
What is worth asking?
“Which plane, and across how many points?” is enough on its own. With a spreading formulation that decides the result, and an answer broken down by area means there is a design behind it.
I have had treatment at another clinic. Can I still come?
Yes. We first establish what went where, and when. A material with no reversal injection in the same area changes the design above it, so bringing records helps.
Will I find out the price at the consultation?
Costs are discussed at the consultation itself. We keep them off the columns and the site because price at the front of the order crowds out plane, division, sessions and the calling threshold.
Can I be treated the same day?
Sometimes, but we do not ask for a same-day decision — all the more so for a material with no reversal injection. Taking time to decide is perfectly fine.
