Hello everyone! My name is Phuong, and I'm planning a trip to Seoul to get some beauty treatments, like derm treatments, skincare consultations, and things like that. I'm planning to stay for about two weeks, but I'm not sure which area to choose that would be convenient for beauty treatments and also have good accommodation options.
I've heard that Gangnam and Apgujeong are the "meccas" for beauty treatments, but what's the reality like? Are the prices a bit higher than in other areas? And are there many accommodations for visitors there? Or are there other trendy areas that are more affordable and convenient?
To any international ladies who have been on a beauty trip to Seoul, could you please share your experiences with me? Which area did you choose to stay in, and how did you find reputable places? I'm a bit worried since it's my first time traveling alone, so any suggestions from you all would be very helpful. Thank you, everyone!

I can hear this! Monday, when I went for a color refresh treatment, was my first time, but it was slow. I've rented apartments in many states, but being close to the subway station was really beneficial, especially since people have so many appointments, the waiting time can be long. Additionally, getting recommendations from friends and contacting them was great!
Hii Fuong! I'm also planning something similar and reading your post got me excited 😄 From what I've heard, Gangnam is indeed super popular for aesthetic stuff, but I also want to explore other areas that might be more affordable—hope someone chimes in with real experiences! We can share our findings later when we start researching 💕
I went to Seoul alone last time too, and honestly, the subway is so convenient you don't need to worry too much! I stayed near Gangnam, and transportation was indeed very convenient, but to be honest, the surrounding costs are a bit higher. If you want to save money, you can consider staying at a slightly further station and taking the subway, which is also very quick.
Hi Phương! Wow, two weeks is quite a while, which is great for recovery if you had any procedures. I'm curious, do you have a budget range you're targeting, or is it still flexible? I've read that Gangnam can get really busy, but prices vary depending on the place, so it might help if I knew your budget first!
Hi Phuong, are you planning to book accommodation in advance or will you book once you have a clearer idea of the areas? I'm also considering a similar trip but am a bit worried about finding a place to stay near the beauty consultation spots.
