How Gangnam differs for botox
Gangnam district, which contains Apgujeong, Sinsa and Cheongdam, has the densest cluster of dermatology and plastic surgery clinics in Seoul and the longest history of treating foreign patients, so English coordinators, printed price lists and a wide choice of toxin brands are more common there than elsewhere. Hongdae and Myeongdong have fewer clinics, with a younger or tourist-oriented clientele and fewer named doctors; Jamsil clinics serve mostly local residents. A toxin visit is short, so any of these areas can work in practice; what a traveller weighs in Gangnam is the wider product choice and easier follow-up against the busier schedules and heavier upselling of its largest clinics.
