First time in Seoul! What skincare and aesthetic experiences should I try?

Hi everyone! I'm Dewi, and I'm super excited because next month I'm finally going to Seoul! 🎉 This is my first time in Korea, and honestly, I'm mostly excited to explore the skincare and aesthetic treatments there. I really want to experience how their aesthetic culture works, as I've seen on TikTok and Instagram that the processes are so advanced and detailed.

So, I have a few questions, if I may. Has anyone tried facial treatments or consultations at Korean clinics before? I'm curious about the experience – are they thorough with consultations, or do they jump straight into procedures? Also, I'd love to know about skincare ingredients and products that might differ from Indonesia – are they worth bringing home, or is it better to buy them directly there?

Oh, and are there any recommended areas or districts in Seoul that are good for exploring aesthetic clinics and skincare shops? I want to make sure I go to reputable and legit places. Budget-wise, I'm still not too sure how much I should prepare, so if anyone has a rough idea or experience, I'd really appreciate it!

Maybe there's someone here who has been or is planning the same thing? Do share! 😊
