My Friend Saw Results — Can I Get the Same Treatment?
At Gangnam Choice Clinic, consultations often start with this question: my friend saw results, so can I get the same treatment? The answer depends on whether you and your friend are facing the same problem — the same ultrasound lifting may target mostly fat in your case, and the same jaw-slimming botox may suit her large masseters while yours are barely palpable.
Your friend seeing results doesn't mean the same treatment suits you. At Gangnam Choice Clinic, we hear this question in consultations far too often: my friend was thrilled with her results, so why did I feel nothing? The problem usually isn't the treatment itself — it's that the two of you aren't facing the same problem.
Why does the same treatment work for others but not for me?
Because the same treatment doesn't mean the same problem. The same ultrasound lifting may target mostly fat in your case; the same jaw-slimming botox may suit her large masseters while yours are barely palpable; the same gold microneedling may address her oiliness and pores, while what concerns you may be pigmentation and acne marks.
What matters most to clarify first in a consultation?
First, confirm whether you and your friend are facing the same problem. When we hear "my friend got great results with this, so I want the same" in a consultation, we first look at whether the two of you are actually in the same situation.
It's not that you can't have the treatment. It's just that solving your own face with someone else's answer puts things in the wrong order.
