My Short Trip to Seoul, and my experience with skin treatment.
Visited Korea for a short break and tried to fit in some sightseeing whenever I had time.
One of the first places I went to was the COEX area in Gangnam. Spent a while walking through the Starfield Library and looking around the shops before heading out for dinner. It's one of good way to ease into the trip.
After a couple of days, I started thinking about trying a lifting treatment while I was in Seoul. Since they said that your Korea travel isn't complete without trying out their clinics (LOL). I did some research and got overwhelmed pretty fast. Every clinic had different names for similar treatments and I had no idea what half of them even meant.The next morning I asked my tour guide and she told me that a lot of locals avoid the big flashy clinics and go to ones with certified doctors. She mentioned Benjamin Clinic in Gangnam and said if you don't have a specific procedure in mind, they usually check your face first and decide what suits you instead of making you choose something from a long list. That sounded a lot easier so I booked a slot.The visit was simple.I cleansed my face to do skin analysis, had a doctor consultation, he suggested a lifting focused plan based on my skin and facial structure. It felt like a straightforward check up instead of guessing what to pick. The procedure itself was quick and they ended with calming care that settled everything down. Staff were easy to talk to, they gave me after care kit and the whole thing felt comfortable from start to finish.
I wrapped up my trip with a quiet walk along the Han River at night. Sat for a bit watching the lights on the water (hoping for an organic encounter) before heading back to the hotel to pack.
Hope you guys like my little trip!
