Hi everyone, it's Na! I'm going to Seoul next month, and I mainly want to experience Korea's skincare and cosmetic medicine culture. I've heard that Seoul has many professional skin management centers and beauty clinics, and I'm both excited and a little confused 😅
My skin is sensitive combination type, and I've been looking for gentle ways to improve it. I'd like to ask you all, what skincare treatments are must-try in Seoul? Like skin management courses? Or should I just go directly to a cosmetic medicine clinic for a consultation? I'm a complete newbie and really don't know where to start.
Also, I'd like to ask if areas like Myeongdong and Gangnam have a high concentration of cosmetic medicine and skincare shops? Has anyone been there and could share their experiences? I mainly want to get a basic skin diagnosis and treatment, but I'm unsure about my budget. Could experienced friends give me some advice?
Looking forward to your replies! Doing your research is essential for a great trip!

I also had sensitive skin when I went to Seoul last time. I suggest you consult a local skin care center first. They will diagnose your skin type, which is more reliable than going directly to a beauty clinic! Myeongdong and Gangnam do have a lot of shops, but they are also very crowded. You can check online reviews beforehand and make an appointment.
I totally understand, as I also have sensitive skin! I tried a lot of things on my first trip to Seoul, but honestly, I recommend going to a dermatologist for a consultation first. Especially because I have sensitive skin, I think it's important to consult a professional to find out what kind of care suits you best. 😊
I've heard that there are a lot of options in Seoul! Have you tried K-beauty before, or are you just interested in basic skincare first? For those with sensitive skin, sometimes it's not so much.
