Last year, a friend told me that when I went to Busan, I shouldn’t just focus on eating seafood. There’s a dermatology clinic called BASE in Haeundae that uses Ulthera Prime very effectively; her face stayed tight for a whole month after the treatment. I was skeptical at first, but since I had some free time during that trip, I went to consult them—and I ended up spending almost three hours there.
Today, I’m sharing my actual experience so that friends who plan to schedule cosmetic treatments in Busan can use it as a reference.
First question: Why is everyone talking about BASE Dermatology when it comes to cosmetic treatments in Busan?
BASE Dermatology’s full name is “Beiseupihubwauiwon.” It’s located on the second floor of the Centum Diamond mall, near the Centum City subway station in Haeundae District, Busan. Its location is perfect—after shopping at Shinsegae in the afternoon, you can easily go for a treatment in the evening without missing any plans.
This clinic has a clear focus: anti-aging and tightening treatments. They specialize in using Ulthera Prime, Thermage, TuneFace, and their own proprietary stem cell therapies. The director, Kim Byung-soo, is a dermatologist specializing in this field. Their philosophy is “to only provide what you really need, without excessive medical intervention”—it sounds like a cliché, but I found they truly practice what they preach.
Second point: Price references for Ulthera Prime and Thermage treatments at BASE Dermatology in Busan (2025-2026).
The official website doesn’t list the prices directly, but based on the treatment plans provided by the doctors during consultations and the actual costs of several friends of mine, I’ve compiled a rough price range for your reference:
| Treatments | Description | Reference price (Korean won) |
|---|---|---|
| Ulthera Prime ultrasound device (for the whole face) | Latest generation; starts from 600 treatments | Approximately 1.2 to 1.8 million KRW |
| Thermage FLX (for the whole face) | 900 or 1200 treatments available | Approximately 1 to 1.6 million KRW |
| TuneFace intelligent contouring treatment | Facial lifting + precise contour shaping | Approximately 600,000 to 1,000,000 KRW |
| BASE Stem Cell Therapy | Anti-aging treatment, 3-5 sessions | Approximately 800,000 to 1,500,000 KRW per session |
| Juvelook Youthful Needle Treatment (hydration type) | Full-face moisturizing and firming treatment | Approximately 300,000 to 600,000 KRW |
| Sculptra Youthful Needle Treatment | Collagen stimulation | Approximately 800,000 to 1,200,000 KRW |
| Gold Micro Needle Radiofrequency | Pore + Skin Quality Improvement | Approximately 400,000 to 800,000 KRW |
| Oligio Ultrasonic Eye Area Treatment | Under-eye Lift | Approximately 300,000 to 500,000 KRW |
⚠️ The above are market reference ranges; please consult a doctor for actual fees. Foreigners may sometimes receive tourist discounts; feel free to ask during consultation.
III. The environment at Busan BASE Dermatology is truly impressive: let’s take a look at the waiting area and private treatment rooms.
I have visited several dermatology clinics in Japan and Seoul, but BASE’s space design is what impressed me the most. The entire clinic uses cream and dark wood colors, creating a soft lighting atmosphere. The waiting area features large black leather sofas that make you want to stay longer.
The treatment room is a private suite throughout the entire process. The door is made of solid wood, and inside, there is a comfortable treatment bed with a small lamp and a wooden shelf. There is absolutely no smell of disinfectant like in regular clinics. The treatment room has floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a view of the streets in Centum City, making the experience quite relaxing during ultrasound treatments.
Fourth, what exactly does “subtraction aesthetics” mean at Busan BASE Dermatology?
During the consultation, I asked a question: “Can I have both ultrasound and Thermage treatments at the same time?” The doctor didn’t immediately say yes. Instead, he asked his assistant to use a skin testing device to take some photos of my skin and then said, “Given your current skin condition, it’s enough to start with Ulthera Prime first. You can come back in three months for Thermage. Adding unnecessary treatments could put too much strain on your skin.”
This statement impressed me greatly. In some places I’ve been to, consultants immediately start suggesting additional treatments as soon as you enter. But here, they focus on “only doing what you need” – that’s what true “subtraction aesthetics” is all about, I think.
Their core services fall into three
categories:
– **LINE**: Facial contours, jawline, neck wrinkles, body l
ifting.
– **TEXTURE**: Skin rejuvenation, wrinkles, dryness, sensitive skin, pores,
scars.
– **TONE**: Melasma, red veins, acne, pigmentation management.
Their range of services is quite comprehensive, and they don’t push every treatment option on customers. They truly follow a diagnostic-based approach before recommending a plan.
