Sinsa Station sits at the crossing of Gangnam-daero and Dosan-daero, just south of Hannam Bridge. Line 3 has served it since 1985, and the Shinbundang Line extended north to Sinsa in May 2022, making it a direct ride to Gangnam Station and Pangyo.

The blocks around the station are packed with plastic surgery and dermatology clinics, often several per building, along Gangnam-daero, Dosan-daero and the stretch of Apgujeong-ro toward Apgujeong Station. North of the station, Garosu-gil adds cafes and shops a few minutes away.

Because the area has so many clinics, it is practical for comparing several consultations on the same day. Hotels and serviced apartments around the station and Nonhyeon cater to patients staying for recovery.
