First time going to Seoul, I'm super excited to experience Korean skincare and cosmetic procedures! Any ladies out there who can share their experiences?

Hi everyone! I'm Hua, and I'm super excited to be going to Seoul for a week next month! I mainly want to experience the skincare and beauty industry in Korea. My friends have told me there are tons of beauty clinics and skincare shops in Seoul, but I'm a little unsure where to start.

I'd especially like to try Korean skincare oils or masks; I've heard the effects are a bit different from what I've heard in China. I'm also curious about basic treatments at beauty clinics, like skin management or mesotherapy, but I really don't know much about that and I'm a little nervous. Have any of you ladies had these done in Seoul? Could you share your experiences and feelings?

Also, I've heard that clinics are concentrated in the Gangnam area; is that really easier to find? As for my budget, I'd like to know the approximate price range first so I can plan accordingly. If anyone can recommend some reliable areas or give me some advice, I'd be so grateful! Looking forward to hearing your stories~ 💚
