Hey everyone! I'm finally making the trip to Seoul in a few weeks and I'm SO excited. I've been lurking on here for ages reading about K-beauty and aesthetic experiences, and honestly it's made me want to go check things out in person.

I'm mainly interested in skincare stuff – like I want to hit up some dermatology clinics to see what treatments they offer that aren't as common back home. Has anyone been to the clinic-heavy areas? I've read about a few neighborhoods that have tons of places clustered together, which sounds perfect for just walking around and getting consultations. I'm not sure what I actually want to do yet, but I love learning about what's available.

Also super curious about the skincare products everyone raves about. I know there are amazing shops everywhere, but does anyone have favorite neighborhoods or areas that are fun to explore for that? Any must-try experiences I should know about?

And real talk – what should I actually budget for? I'm trying to plan but I feel like prices probably vary a lot depending on what you're looking into. Would love to hear what other visitors have spent or what shocked them!

Thanks in advance! 💕
