Is Medical Tourism Right for Me?

I want to turn back the clock…
Cosmetic treatments are the fastest-growing procedures in the medical tourism industry, as thousands of people travel every year to achieve the look they have always wanted. Some of the world’s finest cosmetic clinics are located in Taiwan, where they have been helping people become more comfortable in their own skin for decades.

I love to travel…
Medical tourism provides the perfect balance between travel and medical care. Whether you want to absorb the culture and take in the sights and sounds offered by a trip overseas or simply relax in luxury, medical tourism offers you the opportunity to combine a rewarding vacation with the treatment or health checkup you desire.

The procedure I’m looking for isn’t available in my country…
One of the primary reasons people travel overseas for medical care is that many treatments are simply not offered locally. Taiwan is home to one of the most-developed medical systems in the world, and the healthcare providers in the country offer the most advanced treatments available.

I’m having a difficult time affording treatment in my home country…
During our lifetimes, medical concerns are always a tremendous weight on our minds – and our wallets. Many people think that they are stuck with their physical imperfections, illness, or medical uncertainty because of the prohibiting factor of cost. This does not need to be the case. By taking advantage of the savings offered by medical tourism, many travelers can save upwards of 50% on the cost of medical care in their home country – all while enjoying a fulfilling vacation overseas.

I want to save money on my treatment without sacrificing quality…
Quality should always be the first consideration when obtaining medical care, whether at home or abroad. For this reason, we take painstaking care in selecting only the finest healthcare facilities and professionals for our network. Taiwan has one of the most rigorous medical accreditation systems in the world, and all providers are thoroughly evaluated on the quality of care they provide.

I’m looking for the most experienced doctors in their field…
It is essential for healthcare professionals to be well trained and educated; this is certain. However, it is even more paramount that these doctors and nurses be experienced in the procedure they are providing. Local healthcare options often do not have this level of proficiency. Thankfully, Taiwan has a decades-long history of serving its people with the most adept professionals in the industry, many of whom have performed thousands of procedures.

We want our treatments to fit in with our schedule…
For most cosmetic treatments, time should not be an issue due to the number of high-quality medical centers in Taiwan. Medical tourism options are available for almost any time and in every major city. For health check services, you and your group may require a bit more time since the average health check duration is 3-4 hours. Luckily, all of our providers are happy to work with your travel agent to help fit this into your schedule.

My group members all want to choose the treatment best for them…
Of course! While many groups choose to have similar treatments, it is not necessary for each traveler to book exactly the same treatments. In fact, many doctors are happy to customize treatments on a per-guest basis as long as it can be done within their facility.

I want the best results possible…
Outcomes for cosmetic treatments vary greatly from individual to individual. However, one of the advantages of utilizing the providers included in this guide book is that each provider is dedicated to providing a positive patient experience, and many will provide follow up service at greatly reduces rates (often free of charge). We also keep a record of customer complaints and remove listings should any provider receive multiple complaints.

I want to be able to cancel if I change my mind…
Our network of providers has agreed to allow cancellations up until the final date of payment (usually 2 weeks before your treatment). Changes on the day of treatment can often be accommodated by your provider, provided they have the resources available.

I want to receive my results for health exams quickly…
Most reports are available on the day of treatment. For more advanced diagnostics it may take as long as two weeks to receive your report. In such cases your report with be sent by insured mail to the address of your choice.

I want to be able to bring some of my group with me…
All our providers have provided group discounts for our agents, and as such there are minimum purchase amounts. However, most tour agents can arrange for partial group treatment as long as you can fulfill the minimum purchase requirements.

I want to know my treatment is safe and effective…
Because of the variable nature of cosmetic treatments, some treatments can take longer or require more treatment than anticipated. In such cases if you are unwilling or unable to proceed with the treatment, our providers have agreed to provide a full refund minus any already-used services. This service is provided at the discretion of the providers, so ask your agent for details regarding their policies.
How long does my trip need to be in order to have time for cosmetic treatment?
Since many cosmetic treatments can be done the same day with little or no recovery time, anyone who stays for more than two days has time for some form of treatment.
