Which branch is nearest?
The direct Line 3 connection makes the Sinsa Main Branch a convenient choice from Jongno and Insadong. If you are staying in eastern Jongno, our Dongdaemun branch near Cheongnyangni Station (reachable on Line 1 from Jongno 3-ga) may also be practical.
Planning treatment around palaces and Insadong
- Palace visits such as Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung involve long walks outdoors; after laser treatments such as pico toning, wear sunscreen and a hat.
- If you plan to wear hanbok for photos, schedule injectables such as fillers a few days earlier, as bruising or swelling can occur.
- Traditional teahouses are a calm choice on treatment day; avoid alcohol and saunas for a few days afterwards as advised.
