Hey everyone! I'm planning a trip to Seoul in a couple months to explore some beauty treatments, and I'm honestly a bit overwhelmed trying to figure out where to base myself. I keep seeing Gangnam and Apgujeong mentioned everywhere, but I'm not totally sure what the vibe is in each area or if one's better than the other for what I'm looking for.

I'm guessing they both have tons of clinics and aesthetics places nearby, but I'm curious — where have you guys stayed when you've gone for beauty trips? Are they walkable? Good cafes and restaurants nearby? I'd love to be somewhere that feels accessible but not *too* touristy, if that makes sense. I'm also wondering if there are other neighborhoods people love that are maybe a bit less obvious?

Also, if anyone's done a longer beauty-focused trip before, I'd love tips on how you scheduled appointments, how much time you blocked out, etc. I'm still pretty early in the planning stage and want to make sure I'm being realistic about what I can fit in without burning out. Any advice would be super helpful!
