Post-medical beauty travel tips! Attractions near the Jeju Junyue Hotel | Avoid direct sunlight – Rainbow Coast and Dongmen Market are perfect options after treatment.

“After undergoing cosmetic procedures, one can only stay in a hotel? However, it’s still possible to visit all these attractions in Jeju even after the treatment.”

On the first day after undergoing cosmetic procedures, do you think you can just lie around and browse your phone? Wrong. Jeju Island offers a range of “post-procedure-friendly” attractions and itineraries – you don’t have to walk under the scorching sun, nor worry about the sea breeze damaging your skin. Especially if you are staying at the Grand Hyatt Jeju, there are plenty of indoor venues within a 30-minute drive that are cool and shaded.

For this article, I have compiled 5 post-treatment activity plans, categorized by the number of days required for recovery. You will find suitable activities ranging from the day of the procedure to the third day after treatment. Whether you have undergone fractional rejuvenation, hyaluronic acid injections, or Pico laser treatment, these plans will suit you perfectly.

First day after surgery: Low-intensity indoor exercise routine

On the day of the procedure or within 24 hours after it, it is recommended to engage in indoor activities and avoid direct sunlight and the irritation of sea breeze. The following are the most convenient options starting from Junyue.

Rainbow Coast Road (Udo Uhangjin Coastal Road) – Available only on overcast days or in the evening.

Rainbow Coast Road is one of Jeju’s most famous coastal highways, stretching approximately 14 kilometers in length. Along the way, there are sections of “Rainbow Coast” in six different colors. However, it is not recommended to go there at noon on the first day after the procedure; it is better to set off after 4 p.m. when the sunlight will not be too intense and you will still be able to enjoy the sunset. It takes about 25 minutes to drive from Junyue, and parking is convenient. After the procedure, simply wear a mask and a hat.

Dongmen Market — Highly recommended on the first day after the procedure

Dongmen Market is the largest traditional market in Jeju. Almost all of the stalls here are indoor and shaded, so there’s no need to worry about getting sunburned. You can find Jeju’s most famous dishes here, such as grilled black pork, fresh seafood, and orange chocolate. On the first day after surgery, it’s also very suitable to eat light meals – there are small stalls in the market that sell seafood porridge and radish soup, which are both nutritious and light, making them perfect for post-surgery diet.

It takes about 20 minutes to drive from Junyue to Dongmen Market, and it’s completely feasible to spend 2-3 hours exploring the area.

Second day after the procedure: Moderate-intensity exercise routine

48 hours after the procedure, the swelling has largely subsided, and it is safe to engage in a slightly more active schedule.

The Museum You Can Believe Or Not (Replica: Believe It or Not Museum)

This is an entirely indoor museum that displays a wide range of incredible collections – it’s perfect for taking photos and sharing them as time-lapse videos. It’s located about 15 minutes away from Junyue by car, and the admission fee is ¥12,000 (approximately NT$290). The museum is well-air-conditioned, making it especially comfortable to visit in the summer.

Jeju Natural Recreation Forest

If you have undergone hyaluronic acid injections or superficial laser treatments, you can go for a walk in the Jeju Natural Rest Forest on the day after the procedure. This trail is shaded by trees throughout its length, so the UV index here is much lower than that near the beach. The trail is approximately 3.5 kilometers long, and it takes about 1.5 hours to complete. It is truly very soothing for the body. It is recommended to go in the afternoon on the day after the treatment, and make sure to wear sunscreen and a hat.

Jeju Arario Art Space (Arario Museum)

One of the largest private art museums in South Korea, it covers a vast area and features a rich collection of exhibits. The building itself is a work of art, and taking photos there is simply breathtaking. All the exhibits are located indoors, so they are not affected by the weather, making it completely safe to visit. It is only about a 20-minute drive from Junyue.

Third day after the procedure: A light outdoor route

By the third day after the surgery, the faces of most people had almost fully recovered, making it possible to schedule visits to classic outdoor attractions.

Sunrise Peak at Seongsan Mountain — It is recommended to visit in the evening.

Jeju is a must-visit World Natural Heritage site, but the ultraviolet rays at noon can be extremely harmful to the skin after any cosmetic procedure. It is recommended to visit after 4 p.m. After climbing to the top of the mountain, which takes about 30-40 minutes, you will be able to enjoy breathtaking sunset views. The drive from Junyue takes approximately 40 minutes. Don’t forget to bring sunscreen, a hat, and a mask.

Looking back, if one wants to continue working on projects in the medical beauty industry, Seoul is much more transparent than many other clinics, making it an ideal choice for those who prefer to compare prices before making a decision.

Seokji Cape – a popular spot for photography

Seolcheil is a popular location often used in Korean dramas, featuring its iconic red lighthouse and vast grasslands. The glow in the evening light creates stunning photos. The wind here is quite strong, so it is not recommended to visit on the first day after the procedure, but by the third day, it should be completely fine. It is about a 35-minute drive from Junyue.

Diet after surgery: A must-try list of foods from Dongmen Market

Diet after medical beauty procedures is extremely important; spicy foods, seafood, alcohol, and high-sugar foods should all be avoided for a while. There are many suitable options for consumption after surgery at Dongmen Market.

• Seafood Congee (해산물죽): Made from fresh seafood from Jeju, it is light and not greasy, and is rich in protein, which helps with recovery.
• Radish soup (Muguk): A traditional Korean soup that helps promote diuresis and reduce swelling; it is especially beneficial to drink on the second day after surgery.
• Pumpkin porridge (호박죽): This porridge, made from the famous pumpkin of Jeju Island, is rich in vitamin A and helps with skin repair.
• Black pork set meal (흑돼지 정식): If more than two days have passed since the surgery, black pork served with rice is an excellent source of protein. However, it is advisable to avoid spicy sauces.

Post-surgery skincare recommendations: What should I bring to Jeju?

Skin care after cosmetic procedures is completely different from daily routine; you cannot simply apply lotions and cosmetics as usual. Below is a essential list for post-procedure skin care that I have compiled.

• Physical sunscreens: After the procedure, it is essential to use physical sunscreens containing titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, as chemical sunscreens may cause irritation. It is recommended to carry a bottle of physical sunscreen with an SPF of 50+ and reapply it as needed.
• Medical repair masks: Apply one mask daily for the first three days after the procedure to help reduce swelling and promote recovery. Dr. Jart’s Cicapair series and Mediheal’s soothing masks are available in South Korea’s pharmacies.
• Moisturizing spray: After the procedure, the skin tends to become dry. Carry a bottle of mineral water spray with you to replenish moisture at any time.
• Mild Cleanser: Discontinue the use of cleansers containing acids or retinol, and switch to an amino acid-based cleanser.
• Soothing serums: Serums containing ceramides or panthenol help to repair the skin barrier.

Rainy-day precautions: A comprehensive guide to indoor attractions

The weather in Jeju changes very quickly. What if it starts to rain? Here are some indoor attractions that you can visit after the procedure without any issues.

• Jeju Air and Space Museum: The only aviation museum in South Korea, where visitors can experience flight simulators. Ticket price: ₩9,000; it takes approximately 25 minutes to get there from Gungyuk.
• Jeju Snow Green Tea Museum: This museum showcases the tea culture of Jeju, offering opportunities to taste tea and purchase matcha desserts. Admission is free; it takes approximately 20 minutes to get there from Gungyuk.
• ICE MUSEUM: An indoor ice sculpture exhibition where the temperature remains at minus 5 degrees throughout the year. Warm jackets are provided for visitors. Ticket price: ₩12,000; it takes approximately 15 minutes to get there from Junyue.
• Jeju Myth and History Park: The indoor exhibition area showcases Jeju mythological stories and is suitable for those interested in Korean culture. Ticket price: ₩8,000

Transportation: How can I get from Junyue to various tourist attractions?

Jeju does not have a subway; there are mainly three modes of transportation.

• Taxis: The most convenient option. The starting rate is ₩3,800, and the cost to reach most attractions from Junyue ranges from ₩8,000 to ₩15,000. You can use KakaoTaxi to hail a taxi, and credit cards are accepted. Note: Avoid driving by yourself after the procedure, as some treatments may slightly affect your attention.
• Car rental: If you hold an international driver’s license, you can rent a car, but it is not recommended to drive long distances on the first day after the procedure. The cost of renting a car for one day is approximately ₩50,000–80,000 (including insurance).
• Bus: The cheapest option, but also the slowest. It requires transfers from Junyue to the city center, which can be inconvenient after the procedure. If your budget is limited, this option could be worth considering.

Jeju Weather and Post-Surgery Dressing Guide

The weather on Jeju Island is milder than that in Seoul, but the sea breeze and ultraviolet radiation are stronger than in inland areas. Here are some suggestions for clothing after surgery in different seasons.

• Spring (March to May): Temperatures range from 12 to 20°C, and winds are strong. It is recommended to wear long-sleeved light jackets, use physical sun protection measures, and wear a hat. Spring is the most beautiful season in Jeju, as fields of rapeseed flowers cover the entire island. On the third day after the procedure, you can go out to take some beautiful photos.
• Summer (June to August): The temperature ranges from 25 to 33°C, and the ultraviolet radiation is extremely strong. After the procedure, it is essential to apply SPF50+ physical sunscreen and reapply it every 2 hours. It is recommended to wear light long-sleeved sunscreen clothing, a hat, and sunglasses. During summer, it is advisable to visit mainly indoor attractions.
• Autumn (September to November): The temperature ranges from 15 to 25°C, making it the ideal season. With clear skies and moderate ultraviolet radiation, this is the perfect time for both medical beauty treatments and tourism. It is recommended to bring a light jacket, as the temperature difference between morning and evening can be significant.
• Winter (December to February): The temperature ranges from 2 to 10°C, with strong winds and humid weather. After the procedure, it is important to keep warm, as cold air can irritate the skin and prolong the recovery period from swelling. It is recommended to wear a mask, a scarf, and a hat for comprehensive protection.

Debunking common misconceptions about medical aesthetics in Jeju

Many Taiwanese girls who go to Jeju for medical beauty treatments for the first time have some questions. The following are the most common ones.

Myth 1: Is the quality of medical beauty treatments in Jeju inferior to that in Seoul?

That’s not entirely correct. The equipment and technology in large chain clinics in Jeju meet the same standards as those in Seoul, but the equipment in smaller clinics may not be the latest models. The key is to choose the right clinic and doctor – don’t just rely on price. You can get recommendations for high-quality clinics that have been carefully selected by booking through WeChat at s-sourire.

Myth 2: What should I do if I don’t understand the language?

Most clinics in Jeju offer Chinese translation services, and some even employ translators from Taiwan. By making an appointment through s-sourire, you can arrange for a translator to accompany you throughout the consultation and post-treatment explanations – all communications will be conducted in Chinese, so you don’t have to worry at all.

Myth 3: Cannot swim in the sea after the procedure?

That’s correct. For at least one week after the procedure, it is advisable to avoid soaking in water, swimming, or visiting hot springs. Both seawater and the chlorine in swimming pools can irritate the skin after the surgery, increasing the risk of infection and inflammation. If you want to see the sea, it’s better to stand on the shore and watch from there.
