Hey everyone! I'm going to Seoul for the first time in March and I'm honestly so excited I can barely think straight. I've been following K-beauty content forever, and now I actually get to experience it in person.

I'm definitely planning to hit up some skincare shops and do lots of sheet masking, but I'm also curious about the aesthetic clinic scene there. I've heard Seoul has so many options for treatments that are either really new or way more accessible than back home in the US. Has anyone here done anything at clinics while visiting? I'm not looking for anything crazy invasive — maybe something like a consultation or a lighter treatment? I'm honestly not even sure what would be realistic to fit into a trip, or what the whole experience is like as a foreigner.

Also, are there specific neighborhoods or areas that are known for this stuff? I want to make sure I'm going to legitimate, safe places. Any tips on what to look out for or how to even find places as a tourist? Budget-wise I'm trying to be smart about it, but I'm open to spending a bit for something that seems worth it. Thanks in advance! 💛
