Yeoksam (역삼).

Yeoksam-dong sits west of Gangnam Station — mixed corporate office towers and mid-market aesthetic clinics. Fewer flagship names than Apgujeong or Cheongdam, but convenient for visitors who are already staying around Gangnam Station.

Yeoksam is where Gangnam-gu is "normal" — offices, restaurants, hotels, and clinics catering mostly to locals. The average review volume per clinic is lower, which is not a quality signal but a marketing signal: these clinics spend less on visibility.

People staying at one of the Gangnam Station hotels who don't want to commute. Straightforward dermatology and botox/filler procedures at fair prices.
