Is a Seoul winter trip a bad idea for laser / skin treatments?

The only time I can get leave is mid-December. Everyone keeps telling me Seoul winter is freezing and super dry. Does that actually matter for lasers or boosters, or is it just a "pack more moisturiser" problem? Coming from a Sydney summer so my skin is going to be confused either way.

    Honestly winter is often described as an easier season for lasers because there's less sun exposure, but the dry air is real. Ask the clinic what aftercare they want you on and whether anything they'd do needs more downtime in dry weather. And bring a proper barrier cream, hotel heating is brutal.

    Hotel humidifier is the thing nobody mentions. Ask for one at check-in, lots of Seoul hotels have them.
