My original plan for this trip to Busan was simply to visit Haeundae Beach and enjoy some seafood. However, before I set off, a friend gave me a list of Dermatology clinics near Haeundae and said, “This Wonabee Clinic is perfect for Taiwanese people – the prices are even cheaper than those in Seoul. You can decide for yourself.” So I canceled one of my barbecue appointments and booked a consultation on Tuesday afternoon. The moment I walked in, I felt like I had come to the right place – it wasn’t one of those tourist-oriented clinics with long queues; instead, it was a regular Dermatology clinic used by local residents in Busan. The director personally saw all the patients, and the prices were clearly listed on their official website. In this article, I have compiled the price list from my actual visit in May 2026, detailing everything from HIFU treatments to Filler injections, so that Taiwanese friends who are considering medical beauty treatments in Busan can have a clear idea of the costs involved.
I. Why did I skip Seoul and fly straight to Busan to visit Wannabe Dermatology?
To be honest, when it comes to seeking cosmetic surgery in South Korea, most people’s first thought is to fly to Gangnam in Seoul. However, after reading various articles on Dcard, I found that the prices in Gangnam have risen significantly in recent years, and the waiting times are incredibly long. A friend recommended the Wannabe Clinic in Busan – its Korean name is 워너비의원, and its English name is Wannabe Clinic. This clinic has been operating in Haeundae, Busan for a long time, and it has an excellent rating of 9.4 on maps.
To be honest, I was a bit hesitant before leaving. I wondered if the medical beauty services in Busan would be inferior to those in Seoul. But once I got there, I realized my worries were completely unfounded—the equipment was all the latest original Ulthrea models from the manufacturer. Director Park Hee-jung would also explain everything to you in detail using a tablet, from analyzing your skin condition to recommending a treatment plan, without any attempt at selling you anything. The best part was that the prices were 20-30% lower than those in Gangnam for similar services. In Gangnam, an ANEW HIFU treatment usually starts from 950,000 won, while here it only costs 930,000 won for 100 sessions. Where else can you find such a great deal?
II. Where exactly is Wannabe Dermatology located? It’s only a 3-minute walk from Haeundae Centum Station.
The location of the Onaebi Dermatology Clinic in Busan is truly a blessing for those who are too lazy to search. Just take the Busan Metro Line 2 to Centum City Station, exit at Exit 1, and walk straight ahead for about 3 minutes. There are many shopping areas along the way, so you can even ask friends to go shopping with you while you’re waiting for your appointment – it won’t be boring at all. The clinic is located at Room 702, 7th Floor, 50 Centum Nada-ro; the sign at the entrance on the first floor makes it very easy to find.
The transportation is much more convenient than I expected. If you start from Seoul, taking the KTX to Busan Station and then transferring to Line 2 only takes about 30 minutes. This time, I took the light rail directly from Gimhae Airport and then transferred to the subway, and the whole journey took less than 40 minutes.
III. Wannabe Dermatology’s 2026 Latest Price List 🔥 HIFU, Thermage, INMODE, Thread Lift, and Filler – All explained in one place!
This is probably the most important part that everyone is concerned about. When I went for the consultation, I specifically asked the receptionist to provide me with a detailed quote, listing the prices for each service. I have included it below for your reference.
⚡ Photoelectric anti-aging products
| Project | Reference price | Suitable for various groups |
|---|---|---|
| The American version of the Ulthrea HIFU device | ₩330,000 / 100 units | Want to tighten your V-face and define your facial contours? |
| Thermage FLX | Starting from ⩉900,000 | The entire face appears tighter, with increased production of Collagen. |
| INMODE FX | Starting from ¥89,000 | Double Chin, excess flesh around the mouth |
| INMODE FORMA | Starting from ¥169,000 | A gentle yet firm treatment for the entire face – preventing the early signs of aging |
🧵 Threaded Embellishment Procedures
| Project | Reference prices |
|---|---|
| Threaded nose surgery | Starting from ¥400,000 |
| Facial thread lifting | Starting from ⩥600,000 |
💉 Micro-injection treatments
| project | Reference prices |
|---|---|
| Domestic Filler | ₩280,000 / 1 centum core |
| Restylane Kysse Filler | ₩350,000 / 1 centum core |
| BeloTero Hyaluronic Acid | ₩350,000 – 380,000 per 1 centum core |
| Botulinum toxin | Starting from ¥600,000 |
💧 Hydrotherapy and laser treatments
| Project | Reference price | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrofiller injections | Starting from ¥100,000 | The basic moisture-preserving version can be upgraded with an additional essence option. |
| Pico laser | ₩132,000 | Lighten spots and improve uneven skin tone |
| Potenza | Starting from ¥200,000 | Narrowing Pores, Repairing Acne Scars |
This time, I opted for a combination of 300 HIFU treatments and hyaluronic acid injections. The director said that combining these treatments yields better results than using them separately. The cost for 300 HIFU sessions is ₩990,000, while the hyaluronic acid injections, including the upgraded formula, cost ₩915,000. In total, it amounts to ₩1,140,000, which is approximately equivalent to 25,000 New Taiwan dollars. At Gangnam, this amount might only be enough for one treatment alone.
IV. How does Director Park Hee-jung manage to retain local customers? Personal consultations, no aggressive sales tactics, and speaking in Korean at a slow pace.
Dr. Park Hee-jeong, the director of the Onabi Dermatology Clinic in Busan, is one of the most patient South Korean doctors I have ever met. During the consultation, she first showed me the results of my skin test using a tablet computer, and then explained in detail the differences between various treatment options. Although I had initially only wanted to undergo HIFU treatment, she advised me to “get a skin check first and make no hasty decisions.” This really put me at ease.
What’s even more considerate is that she knew I was a foreigner and spoke Korean very slowly. She would also use simple English to assist me, and when I didn’t understand something, she would even draw diagrams on her tablet for clarification. The entire consultation took about 20 minutes, and not a single word about sales was mentioned throughout. After the treatment, she personally instructed me on how to take care of my skin after the procedure, including how to apply sunscreen properly.
V. What is the environment like at Wannabe Dermatology? Let’s take a look through pictures and texts.
Wannabe Dermatology is located on the 7th floor of a building in the Centum City area. As soon as the elevator doors open, you are greeted by a clean and bright reception area. The overall decor features a simple and modern style, with white and wooden tones that give it more of the feel of a high-end spa than a traditional clinic. The waiting area is equipped with comfortable sofas, and there are also coffee machines and mineral water available for guests to use at their convenience.
The consultation rooms are also designed as independent private spaces, ensuring excellent confidentiality—unlike some larger clinics where procedures are carried out right behind pull-down curtains. Regarding equipment, the director mentioned that they use only original American-made models, and both the HIFU devices and Thermage machines come with official manufacturer certification labels. As for hygiene standards, there is no need for concern: after each treatment, new sheets are used and the entire room is thoroughly disinfected. I personally observed this process, and it was indeed carried out meticulously.
The image above shows skin improvement cases presented on their official website. The changes in Pores, skin tone, and fine lines are all very noticeable. It is clear that these are not exaggerated before-and-after photos edited with software, but genuine results after actual treatment.
VI. FAQ on Common Issues at Wannabe Dermatology
Q1: Does Wannabe Dermatology provide Chinese translation services? Curre
ntly, the clinic does not have a permanent Chinese translator on staff. Director Park Hee-jung can communicate in basic English, and it is completely possible to use translation apps to assist during in-person consultations. Although the receptionist primarily speaks Korean, she is very friendly, so even with gestures and translation software, communication can proceed smoothly. If you are concerned about communication barriers, it is recommended that you write down your questions in advance on LINE and show them to her on-site.
Q2: Is this the right place for my first experience with medical aesthetics in
South Korea? Absolutely! Wannabe is located in the Centum City area of Haeundae, right next to the subway station, so you don’t have to spend hours searching through narrow streets. The process at the clinic is also very clear: fill out basic information → skin examination → consultation with the director → confirmation of treatment plan and price → start of the procedure → post-treatment care instructions. There’s no sudden increase in costs or unnecessary promotion of additional services, which is especially important for first-time visitors.
Q3: How to choose between HIFU and Thermage? Which one is suitable for me? Simply put, HIFU acts at d
eeper layers and is mainly used for lifting the skin, while Thermage affects a wider range of layers and is primarily designed to tighten the skin. If you have sagging cheeks or unclear facial contours, it is recommended to opt for HIFU. However, if your entire face is loose and you want to promote overall Collagen production, Thermage would be more appropriate. Dr. Park will provide personalized recommendations based on the condition of your skin during the consultation, so there’s no need to guess on your own.
Q4: How long will it take to see the results? How much time do I need to wait? After the HIFU tr
eatment, there is an immediate sense of mild tightening, but the actual effects become most noticeable 2–3 months later, once the Collagen has begun to regenerate. The same is true for Thermage treatment; the best results are usually seen 1–2 months after the procedure, and the effects can last for 1–2 years. After the hyaluronic acid injection, the skin’s tone appears noticeably brighter the day after the treatment, and the effects can last for 1–3 months.
Q5: What are the payment methods? Can I use a credit card? Yes, you
can use VISA or Mastercard, or pay in cash (South Korean won). All the prices quoted by the clinic include taxes, and no additional fees will be charged. Additionally, if you are eligible for tax refunds related to medical treatments in South Korea, you can ask the staff to assist you with the process. Tax refunds are available for purchases totaling ⩺30,000 South Korean won or more.
Q6: Can I apply makeup immediately after the treatment? After HIFU or Therma
ge treatments, the skin may turn slightly red, but this effect usually subsides within 2–3 hours. It’s safe to go out on the same day, but it is recommended not to wear makeup. After hyaluronic acid injections, small needle marks may appear on the skin, but makeup can be applied normally the next day. After Pico treatments, the skin tends to become dry, so it is crucial to focus on intensive moisturization within the first 3 days after the procedure.
