If you are looking for a highly rated Dermatology clinic in Busan on Naver but are worried that language barriers may prevent you from making an appointment, then read this article. I personally visited four popular clinics in the Seomyeon area: PPEUM, JRYN, floria, and Muse. I went through the entire process from making an appointment to receiving treatment, and I compiled information about each clinic’s features, price ranges, and international appointment options. Whether this is your first time seeking medical beauty treatments in Busan or you just want to find a reliable clinic to return to in the future, this article will save you a lot of time in researching various options.
I. Why is Seomyeon in Busan the preferred area for medical aesthetics treatments?
Seomyeon is Busan’s largest commercial center, where the subway lines 1 and 2 intersect. It only takes about 30 minutes to take a bus from the airport to Sasang Station and then transfer to the subway. The area is densely populated with restaurants, cafes, and duty-free shops, so after a skin treatment, you can simply go shopping and dining without having to travel far. More importantly, nearly all Dermatology clinics with ratings of 4.8 or higher on Naver are located in this area. With so many options and fierce competition, the prices here are also relatively more affordable compared to Seoul.
This time I spent five days in Busan and specifically arranged a whole day for a “Dermatology tour” – I visited four different clinics for consultations. Let me talk about each one of them one by one.
II. PPEUM (PPEUM) Busan International Store in Seomyeon
PPEUM is a highly popular chain Dermatology brand in South Korea, with over a dozen branches across the country. The Busan International Branch is located near the Seomyeon station; it takes approximately 4 minutes to walk from Exit 1 of the Tamnapo station. Upon entering, you will be greeted by staff who speak Chinese, and the entire process, from registration to the consultation, is accompanied by Chinese interpreters, so you don’t have to worry about language barriers at all.
What impressed me most about this clinic was their transparent pricing. During the consultation, the doctor would clearly state the price of each treatment option, with no hidden fees or forced sales attempts. I initially only wanted to undergo basic skin care, but after the examination, the doctor recommended adding a soothing treatment, stating that it was “optional.” In the end, I decided to go ahead with it and found it absolutely worth it. All injection and laser treatments at this clinic are performed by specialized Dermatology doctors, which is a great guarantee in a chain-based medical institution.
The business hours are also very convenient: from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Mondays to Fridays, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays, and from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Sundays. The fact that it is open on Sundays is definitely a great advantage for tourists.
III. JRYN Busan Seomyeon Store: A reliable option with prices equal to those in China and Korea
JRYN is the best institution for cosmetic surgery consultations that I have ever used in Busan. The Seomyeon location is located on the 4th floor of the Samjung Tower; it takes about 8 minutes to walk from Exit 2 of the Seomyeon station, or just 3 minutes if you use Exit 16 of the shopping mall. What makes this institution particularly attractive is its policy of equal prices for both Korean and foreign customers – you pay exactly the same amount as Koreans do when you search on Naver; there is no additional charge simply because you are a foreigner.
During the in-person consultation, the director personally examined me; it wasn’t a nurse doing the consultation on my behalf. Since my skin is quite sensitive, the director recommended starting with a mild Pico treatment combined with a soothing introduction procedure, rather than immediately using high-intensity lasers. This approach of not rushing to push certain treatments gave me a great sense of reassurance. JRYN has an excellent rating of 4.9 on Naver, and there are many local repeat customers. When I went there, I had to wait for about 20 minutes in the afternoon before it was my turn.
Opening hours: Monday, Tuesday, and Friday from 10:30 to 20:00; Wednesday and Thursday from 10:30 to 19:00; Saturday from 10:30 to 14:30. Lunch break is from 13:00 to 14:30. It is recommended to avoid visiting during the lunch break.
IV. floria: A time-tested brand from Seomyeon, known for its meticulous refinements
Floria is located on the 2nd floor of the E-Land PEER building, just 7 to 9 minutes away by foot after exiting Exit 2 in Seomyeon. The location is extremely convenient. The approach of this salon is different from the previous two – if you are not simply looking for basic skincare treatments but are interested in more detailed adjustments to your facial features, floria might be a better choice for you.
Director Shen Zhihui is a specialist in Dermatology who prefers a more natural approach and uses delicate injection techniques. I accompanied a friend to consult her about Filler injections for lip augmentation. The director took plenty of time to understand her aesthetic preferences and specifically reminded us that “people with very thin faces are not suitable for full-face lifting.” She would never agree to anything just to close a deal. Such a pragmatic approach has earned her a rating of 4.9 on Naver, and she has many repeat customers among local women.
The store provides Chinese translation services, but it is recommended to make reservations on weekdays or in the morning, as there are usually more people on weekends in the afternoon. Business hours: Monday to Friday, 10:00-20:00 (lunch break 13:00-14:00); Saturday, 10:00-16:00; closed on Sundays and public holidays.
V. Muse Seomyeon Store: A personalized clinic specializing in PN injections
The Muse Seomyeon branch is located on the 3rd floor of the Dongjiang Building at No. 698 Central Avenue, not far from the Seomyeon station. This branch is smaller than the previous three, focusing on a more refined approach to skincare. The managing director, Dr. Xu Zhengri, is a specialist in Dermatology who specializes in PN component injections—often referred to as “salmon needle treatments.” These treatments are very effective in improving Pores, uneven skin tone, and mild signs of skin laxity.
When I arrived at the clinic, it just so happened that there was a monthly promotion offering discounts on PN injections. The director personally examined me and even showed me several before-and-after photos on his phone. Indeed, the results of combining PN injections with laser treatment were much better than using laser alone. However, Muse’s main service language is Korean, so if you don’t speak Korean, you’ll need to make an appointment in advance or communicate through KakaoTalk. For those who are not confident in their language skills, it’s recommended to book through the BeautsGO platform, where Chinese-speaking customer service will be available to assist you.
Opening hours: Monday/Wednesday 11:00-21:00 (night services available), Tuesday/Thursday/Friday 11:00-19:00, Saturday 11:00-17:00, closed on Sundays. An additional 10% surcharge will be applied; both cash and card payments are accepted at the same rate.
VI. How to choose among these four clinics? Here are my suggestions.
After visiting four different clinics, I came to the conclusion that when choosing a clinic, it’s more important to consider your specific needs than its reputation.
- If you only want to perform basic skin care to save time and money, then choose PPEUM or JRYN. Both companies offer transparent pricing and excellent Chinese-language services; moreover, JRYN guarantees the same price in both China and Korea.
- If you want to try minor injections such as Filler or Botox, choose floria. The director’s injection technique is widely recognized for being delicate and natural, ensuring no excessive results.
- Focusing primarily on skin quality improvements (Pores, skin tone, early signs of aging) → Choose Muse; PN injections are their signature treatment, and the treatments are performed personally by the director himself, ensuring consistent quality.
If time permits, I actually suggest consulting 2-3 different professionals and listening to their suggestions before making a decision. After all, these consultations are basically free, so it doesn’t hurt to listen to multiple opinions and compare them.
VII. How to make international appointments? The entire process at BeautsGO
For many people, the most troublesome part is the reservation process – not understanding Korean, being unable to make calls to South Korea, or finding it impossible to navigate the official website due to its all-Korean content. This time, I used the BeautsGO platform for all my reservations, and the process was extremely simple.
- Download the app or open the mini-program: Available for both iOS and Android. You can also search for “BeautsGO” on WeChat to find the mini-program.
- Searching for a clinic: Simply enter “PPEUM Busan” or “JRYN Seomyeon” to find the corresponding branch.
- Select the project and date: Carefully read through the project description, price details, and important notes. Choose the appropriate date range before submitting your request.
- Pending confirmation: You will usually receive a confirmation within 24 hours; in some cases, it can be done in just a few hours.
- Arrive at the clinic on time: Please arrive 15 minutes in advance and present your passport along with your reservation confirmation.
The advantage of BeautsGO lies in its fully Chinese-language service – from consultation to appointment booking to post-treatment follow-up, all customer services are provided in Chinese. Moreover, the prices displayed on the platform are the final prices, so there is no need to worry about additional charges upon arrival at the clinic. Currently, the platform has partnered with 849+ South Korean medical beauty institutions, and it covers almost all the highly-rated clinics in the Seomyeon area of Busan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it necessary to make an appointment in advance for a visit to the Dermatology department in Busan? Can I just show up without an appointment?
It is highly recommended to make reservations in advance. Especially for high-rated stores like JRYN and floria on Naver, there are always many people on weekdays and weekends, so waiting in line without a reservation may result in a wait of 1-2 hours or even longer. By making a reservation through BeautsGO, you can receive confirmation within as little as 1 hour; however, it is most advisable to book 1-2 days in advance. Weekends and South Korea’s public holidays are the busiest times, so it is best to schedule your appointment 3-5 days in advance.
Are the prices at Dermatology clinics in Busan significantly different from those in Seoul?
In Busan, prices are generally 20% to 30% lower than those in Seoul’s Gangnam District. For the same Pico skin treatment, the cost in Gangnam may start from 915,000 won, while in the Seomyeon area of Busan, it can be done for around 910,000 won. Moreover, clinics like JRYN, which charge the same prices for both Chinese and foreign customers, offer more transparent pricing, so there’s no need to worry about extra charges due to “foreigner prices”.
What if there is a language barrier? Can the doctor speak Chinese?
Both PPEUM and JRYN offer dedicated Chinese translation services, and floria also provides Chinese assistance (it is recommended to reserve a Chinese-speaking service slot in advance). Muse’s Chinese services are relatively limited; it is advisable to make reservations through the BeautsGO platform, which will arrange for a Chinese-speaking customer service representative to assist throughout the process. During your consultation, you can prepare in advance the treatments you wish to undergo and your budget, and the translator will help convey this information to the doctor.
Can I go about my daily activities normally on the same day after undergoing cosmetic surgery? What precautions should I take?
Basic skin care treatments and mild laser procedures, such as Pico skin rejuvenation, generally do not affect daily activities; you can go shopping or eat out on the same day. However, if it involves injections or high-intensity lasers, there may be slight redness, so it is recommended to avoid wearing makeup and engaging in strenuous exercise within 24 hours. Most importantly, do not expose yourself to direct sunlight at Haeundae Beach immediately after the laser treatment; it is safer to schedule such procedures later in your trip.
Are Naver ratings really accurate? What do you think about the evaluations of local South Koreans?
The Naver rating is the most commonly used indicator by local South Koreans, and a score of 4.8 or above generally indicates reliability. Both JRYN and floria have a rating of 4.9, which means they have a high proportion of repeat customers from the local area. You can search for the clinic’s Korean name on Naver Map (for example, “Jeylin Clinic, Seomyeon”) and use a translator to read the reviews. Pay special attention to key terms such as “whether forced sales are practiced” and “whether the doctor performs the procedures personally”.
Is there a fee for booking through BeautsGO? Will there be any charges if I cancel my reservation?
There is no charge for making a reservation through BeautsGO; the fees are only paid after the treatment at the clinic. If you cancel a reservation, there will be no fee if you do so 24 hours in advance. However, if you cancel at the last minute on the same day or fail to show up, it may affect your future reservation credit on the platform. It is recommended that you confirm your schedule before submitting a reservation and cancel it as soon as possible if there are any changes.
