extending my stay in seoul for a month and looking for a go-to clinic for consistent skin maintenance

i recently pushed my flight back so i'm staying in seoul for almost a full month now. because of that, i'm trying to look at skin stuff a bit differently. i was originally going to just cram every possible treatment into three days like a typical tourist, but since i have the time, i'd much rather build a steady plan. i definitely don't need anything super aggressive. my main problems are just uneven tone, some tired looking texture, and a few fine lines around my eyes. basically just maintenance to look a bit fresher, not a whole face transformation.

since i can actually visit a place more than once, i'm trying to find a spot where the consultation carries over. i really don't want to explain my skin history from scratch every single time, or get passed around between random staff members who just push whatever package is on sale that week. that's exactly what i want to avoid. my korean is still pretty basic, so finding a place that communicates clearly in english is a big deal for me. i'm totally fine paying a little extra if the vibe is calm, they actually explain things, and they don't rush me into getting shots and lasers all on the same day.

while searching around, i came across a gowa clinic in gangnam that seemed more focused on actual consultation rather than just churning through people. that caught my attention because it sounds closer to what i need for a longer stay, where someone might actually remember my face and what we talked about last time. i'm still comparing a few places though. has anyone here stayed in korea for a few weeks and found a spot they kept going back to? i'm super curious about places that are good for just mild maintenance and hydration rather than one massive intense day. did the doctor actually follow your progress between visits, or did it still feel like a quick tourist stop?
