Lately, many people have been flying to Busan—not just for Haeundae and fresh beef, but also to get cosmetic treatments. I previously wrote an article about the price list at Wannabe. However, the most common questions I receive via private message are about how good the Dermatology department at Wannabe in Busan is. “I understand the prices, but is it really worth making the trip all the way to Haeundae just for this?” This time, I won’t repeat the price details. Instead, I’ll outline all the reviews available online, information about the director’s background, and the logic behind the various treatment options, giving you everything you need to form your own judgment.
In short: The community-based clinic located next to the Centum City station in Haeundae, known for “treatments performed personally by the director,” boasts the advantages of Director Park Hee-jung’s extensive experience and conservative treatment approach tailored to different age groups. It’s ideal for those who want to get facial treatments on their way somewhere else and are worried about being treated like part of a mass production line, but it’s not suitable for those looking to resolve major issues in just one session or who only have time on Sundays.
How is the Dermatology department at Wannabe in Busan? The “Director’s Personal Care” clinic located next to the Centum City station in Haeundae
Busan’s Wannabe Dermatology (Korean: 워너비의원) is located at 50 Namdae-ro, Centum City, in Haeundae-gu, Busan. It’s situated near Centum City Station on Subway Line 2, close to BEXCO and Shinsegae Department Store Centum City. In short, if you live in Haeundae or are out shopping in the area, you can get your treatment right there without having to travel to Seomyeon.
It’s different from those chain clinics where you’re greeted by a bunch of consultants and offered standardized packages as soon as you walk in—this place follows a community-focused approach, with Director Park Hee-jeong personally seeing each patient one-on-one. The keywords frequently mentioned by customers are “natural results, no pressure to buy, transparent pricing,” and these are exactly the things I keep seeing in customer reviews rather than in marketing slogans.

Representative Director Park Hee-jung: Having served as deputy director at two institutions, why is such experience more trustworthy than just a title?
Many people when choosing a clinic focus solely on whether the doctor is a renowned specialist, but I pay more attention to the director’s background and training experience. Director Park Hee-jung holds a master’s degree from the University of Busan College of Medicine. What’s even more significant is that he has served as deputy director at Barogeu Clinic and J-Lynn Clinic, and is currently the chief director of Wanna Be Clinic. He is also a member of various professional associations, including the Korean Association of Aesthetic Plastic Laser Medicine, the Korean Association of Laser Dermatology and Hair Science, and the Korean Association of Filler Medicine.
Why is the fact of “having served as deputy director at two clinics” important? It’s because experience at the deputy director level usually means handling a large number of cases with various skin types and complications, which encourages a more cautious approach and an emphasis on “getting it right first, then optimizing it.” Wannabe follows the same approach: conducting 3D assessments and age-specific evaluations before formulating a treatment plan, rather than immediately recommending the most expensive package.
If you’re looking for another comparison of the “direct treatment by the director” style, this article is worth reading: Is Busan’s Genius Dermatology worth making a special trip for? Just 1 minute from Seomyeon Station, direct filling treatments by the director, and thousands of positive reviews on Korean websites.
How to choose the right core treatment? Potenza, Juvelook, and Pico skin type comparison guide
Wannabe offers a wide range of services, but it’s pointless to get overwhelmed by so many options. I’ve put them together in a table based on “your concerns,” so you can simply match them to what fits you best.
| Your concerns | Priority items | Why Choose It |
|---|---|---|
| Enlarged Pores, Acne Scars, Oily Skin | Potenza Gold Microneedling | RF microneedling directly stimulates collagen, making it particularly effective for addressing Pores and acne scars. |
| Dryness, fine lines, and lack of luster | Juvelook Blue Bottle Glow Serum 2cc | Polydioxanone-based hydrating serum that delivers hydration while offering a slight firming effect |
| Spots, uneven skin tone, post-procedure sedation | Pico Laser + Soothing Treatment | Pico laser treatment for pigmentation is fast, and its soothing effect helps reduce the risk of darkening. |
| Loose contours, looking for firming results | InMode FX + Forma for Single Area Treatment | Microwaves + radiofrequency layered tightening – ideal for needle-free, conservative treatment |
| Nasal IPCHEA Depth | Newramis Filler + HIKO Rhinoplasty Threads | Use Filler to enhance volume and thread lifting to refine the nostril flaps—combine the two for best results. |
The key point is that the clinic director prefers using combination treatments rather than single treatments. For example, “Potenza + Juvelook 3 centum core / Exosome 5 centum core + LDM” is a common treatment combo, with the Potenza treatment done first followed by hydration therapy.

I’ve also listed the prices from Seoul for side-by-side comparison.
How is the Wannabe Dermatology in Busan? Pricing logic: It’s not hidden, but it’s not the only factor that matters.
The previous price list already breaks down all the services in detail. Let’s just add one more logical point here: Wannabe gives visitors the impression that “prices are the same as those in China and South Korea, with no pressure to buy expensive package deals.” In other words, you’ll see exactly what the price is, and foreigners generally don’t have to pay extra or get forced into any packages. For those going to South Korea for cosmetic treatments for the first time, this aspect is actually more important than the individual prices—because what people fear most isn’t high costs, but being charged extra once they arrive.
Located in the same Haeundae shopping district, another clinic that adopts the “five-star hotel + affordable prices” approach is worth comparing: Busan Grace Dermatology’s price list | 10th floor of L Tower in Haeundae, with in-person consultations by Director Kim Tae-hoon.
