Seoul, beyond
the tourist map
Not a list. Places I go back to.
Neighbourhoods the guides miss, food you’ll still be thinking about on the flight home, and how to plan a trip around a clinic visit.
Only places I’ve been to myself.

Thinking about a
clinic visit?
Know what you’re paying for
Treatment pricing in Seoul works differently from most countries, and packages aren’t always what they look like. I’ll walk you through what a quote actually covers before you commit to anything.
Consultations you can follow
Most of the difficulty isn’t the treatment, it’s the consultation. I help you understand what’s being recommended and why, so you can make the call yourself rather than nodding along.
Questions to ask before you book
What a good consultation looks like, which questions separate a careful clinic from a rushed one, and what to confirm in writing before you commit to anything.

Coming for skin
or vision?
No obligation, no hard sell.
Tell me your treatment dates and I’ll build the trip around them — including the two to three weeks off contact lenses before laser eye surgery, and the month of no jjimjilbang or swimming after.
