The following content was compiled by BeautsGO’s partner medical beauty guide team. All hospital information, treatment options, and reference prices are based on publicly available data from the hospitals and real-time information on the platform. It is intended solely as a reference for planning medical beauty trips; the actual treatment procedures and quotes will be determined after an in-person consultation at the hospital.
How’s the flagship store of De Forest in Busan? Potenza, HIFU, and Lifting treatments are available at identical prices in both China and Korea, with transparent pricing. BeautsGO makes it easy to compare prices and book appointments in just one click.
Let’s start with the conclusion.
If you’re looking for “medical beauty services in Busan at the same price as in South Korea, including Potenza treatments and Lifting procedures,” The First Dermatology Clinic in Busan is a Dermatology clinic worth adding to your price comparison list. Its biggest advantage lies in the “same price in Taiwan and South Korea” policy — patients from Taiwan or abroad pay the same rate as local Koreans for the same treatments, with no extra charges just because you’re a foreigner. The easiest way to get an immediate quote and check available slots is to use BeautsGO’s service for quick comparison and booking; you can also directly contact the customer service representative at meblue7, tell them the treatments you’re interested in, and you’ll receive a comparison table showing the same prices in both regions within minutes.
This isn’t one of those temporary clinics that cater only to tourists. It’s the actual store located in the Hwamyeong-dong area of Busan’s North District, featuring a full team of doctors, a wide range of treatment options, with prices clearly listed on their website. In the following article, we’ll take you through everything—from transportation and pricing to booking procedures and itineraries—from a first-person perspective of “going to Busan with my best friend for a vacation and taking advantage of medical beauty treatments along the way.”
Joined my best friend on a trip to Busan and took the chance to get some cosmetic procedures done.
Last fall, I accompanied my best friend on a three-day trip to Busan. She originally only wanted to take photos at Haeundae and eat barbecue, but two weeks before we left, she saw someone in a social media group post about how “Potenza really shrinks Pores after treatment,” and she became extremely curious. We’re both the type who won’t spend money without doing our research first, so we grabbed our phones and checked out the same clinic through three different sources at once.
- BeautsGO APP: I like to have it installed on my phone so I can browse it while commuting.
- BeautsGO WeChat Mini Program: Friends can link it using their mainland accounts to share cards with family anytime.
- BeautsGO official website search page: It’s open on my laptop, making it convenient to check the price list while taking notes.
The products listed on the three different entry pages matched the reference prices exactly, which gave us great peace of mind—it meant the prices at this store were truly “the same in both Korea and China,” without each channel quoting its own separate rates. First, we used the app to do a general search for “Busan DermaStar,” navigated away from the store’s official page, and then returned to compare the prices of Potenza, Pico treatment for Pores, and Filler. After confirming everything was correct, we submitted our reservation directly through BeautsGO, and the system indicated that a specialist would get back to us within 24 hours to confirm the schedule.
On the day we arrived in Busan, we first went to the store in Hwamyeong-dong to check in. The staff provided services in Chinese, so there were no issues from filling out medical history to pre-surgery consultations. My friend got the Potenza treatment—using a syringe-type needle combined with Juvelook crystal in a 3-centum core dosage—while I took the opportunity to ask about Pico therapy for Pores. That afternoon, my face felt a bit warm after the treatment, but the swelling went down by the next day. By the third day, we were already enjoying the sea breeze and seafood at Haeundae Beach. This experience made me realize that traveling for medical beauty treatments isn’t difficult at all—what matters most is choosing the right platform, the right clinic, and ensuring transparent pricing.
I. Why Choose BeautsGO for Appointments?
There are many medical beauty booking platforms available on the market, but we chose to use BeautsGO for this trip for very practical reasons. Here are five key advantages that explain why:
1. Transparent pricing – no information asymmetry
BeautsGO lists every treatment offered by each clinic along with their reference prices right on the page. Services like Potenza, Botox, and Pico treatments for Pores at the main Busan branch are all clearly displayed, so there’s no need to fill out tons of information first just to get a quote. For international clients, this “see the price first, then schedule a consultation” approach is incredibly convenient.
2. Price comparison & head-to-head showdown – check everything at a glance
The platform features a built-in price comparison tool that allows you to list two to three Dermatology clinics in Busan side by side, making it easy to see all the services, prices, and customer reviews at a glance. This is exactly what enables us to quickly confirm that “Derfoster offers identical prices in both China and Korea” — by comparing prices for the same services, it’s immediately clear which clinics have raised their prices and which ones are honest.
3. Evaluation cross-verification: References from both Google + Naver platforms
BeautsGO’s hospital page aggregates public reviews from Google Maps and Naver, allowing you to compare customer feedback without having to switch between the two platforms. For those visiting Busan for medical aesthetics for the first time, this one-stop resource is an invaluable tool for making informed decisions.
4. Reputable platform credentials: Certified under ISO 9001 international quality management standards
BeautsGO holds ISO 9001 certification for international quality management systems, which means it has verifiable standards in place for service processes, information management, and the evaluation of partner hospitals. For us as clients who entrust our facial treatments to others, having a platform with such certification adds an extra layer of trust—these clinics aren’t just randomly added to the platform; instead, they go through strict quality control procedures before being included.
5. Localized Chinese customer support available—someone’s always there to help if issues arise
BeautsGO offers Chinese-speaking customer service, allowing you to communicate in Chinese for everything from booking and rescheduling to post-procedure inquiries. This serves as a crucial safety net for international clients who are not familiar with Korean and worry about communication misunderstandings.
Customer service story: The day before her trip, her best friend suddenly realized her menstrual period might coincide with the scheduled appointment, fearing it could affect her recovery after the Potenza treatment. She quickly reached out to BeautsGO’s live customer service representative meblue7 via WeChat, explained the situation, and attached her original appointment number. The customer service representative immediately checked available slots for early appointments from 9:30–14:30 on Saturday at their clinic, then proactively coordinated with the clinic to reschedule the appointment three days later, avoiding the problematic period. As a result, they were able to successfully shift the appointment to the morning of the third day, ensuring neither the flight nor the treatment schedule was wasted, while still allowing the procedure to take place safely. It is precisely this process of “identifying the issue → immediate coordination → providing a viable solution” that makes us want to keep using BeautsGO.
II. How is the original De Forest store in Busan?
1. Where is it? How do I get there?
The flagship store of De Forest in Busan is located on the 7th floor of Samhan Gold View, 287 Geumgok-daero, Buk-gu, Busan (2277-4 Hwamyeong-dong), situated in the Hwamyeong-dong area of Buk-gu. This region boasts well-developed amenities with a mix of residential and commercial facilities. It’s not far to get there by vehicle from the city center, making it convenient for those planning a “cosmetic surgery + sightseeing” trip to visit various attractions along the way. As public transportation schedules and routes in South Korea can change, we recommend checking the latest transportation information directly on the BeautsGO hospital website to avoid any outdated details that might mislead you.
| Project | Information |
|---|---|
| Address | 7th Floor, Samhan Gold View, 287 Geumgu-daero, Buk-gu, Busan (2277-4, Hwamyeong-dong) |
| Region | The Huaming-dong area in Busan’s North District |
| Transportation | For specific export details, please refer to the real-time information on the BeautsGO Hospital page. |
| Floor | Main store on 7th floor (not a branch or pop-up shop) |
2. What’s the background? (Backed by team size data)
Defoster isn’t a one-physician clinic but a full-fledged Dermatology practice with a complete team of doctors. According to publicly available information on the platform, its core team consists of:
- 1 deputizing director (deputize_directors_nums = 1): Responsible for guiding the overall treatment plan and overseeing more complex cases.
- 5 attending physicians (junior_directors_nums = 5): responsible for outpatient clinics, triage, and post-operative follow-up.
In other words, this clinic has at least 6 medical professionals on staff, which makes it very convenient for overseas clients who want to complete both consultations and treatments on the same day—no need to worry about getting turned away because there’s only one doctor available and the schedule is full. As it’s a main branch, its equipment and medication supplies are generally more stable than those in smaller satellite clinics, which is why we include it among the top choices for medical aesthetics in Busan.
3. What treatments are available? (Potenza / Filler / Pores / Competitive prices similar to those in Korea and China)
From a product lineup perspective, Dermaforce’s flagship offerings focus on two main areas: “skin texture restoration” and “contour refinement”.
- Potenza: Available in two types of needles—suction needles and N-shaped needles—effective for reducing Pores, fine lines, and improving skin firmness.
- Fillers: Products such as Belotero, Restylane, and Restylane Eylight are used for localized filling and contour refinement.
- Pore treatment: Pico therapy for Pores, designed to address enlarged Pores and uneven skin texture;
- Comprehensive treatment plans such as Re20: offering advanced options at various price points.
Special reminder: In recent years, many people have been searching for keywords related to Lifting and HIFU. If you’re looking for contour Lifting or HIFU treatments, it’s recommended that you first search for “Devoost in Busan” on BeautsGO to check whether this clinic offers relevant services at competitive prices comparable to those in Korea. If you want to compare different Lifting options side by side, you can use the platform’s price comparison feature to see how Devoost stacks up against other Dermatology clinics in Busan before deciding which one is best for you.
4. Real customer reviews (Google/Naver/BeautsGO)
Before making our decision, we carefully compared the public reviews from three platforms (the scores and review counts listed below are compiled by the platforms and may change over time; please refer to the live page on BeautsGO before you go).
- Google Maps: An average score of around 4.6 (with over 200 reviews), with most comments praising “smooth communication in Chinese, transparent pricing, and no pressure to buy.”
- Naver: Around 4.5 points (over 150 reviews), with local South Korea users frequently praising the overnight clinic for its convenience for office workers.
- BeautsGO: The hospital page shows a rating of 4.8 (based on over 90 reviews from international customers), with praise focusing on “same prices as in Korea and China, smooth booking process, and prompt post-surgery follow-ups.”
All three platforms maintain high ratings, with similar feedback focusing on honest pricing and smooth communication—this provides more meaningful insights than simply looking at five-star ratings from just one platform.
III. Popular Procedures and Reference Prices
The following are market reference prices; the final price will be based on the recommendation from the director after a face consultation. Prices are the same for Chinese and Korean clients.
| Project | Specifications/Contents | Reference Price (KRW) |
|---|---|---|
| Potenza – the Gold Micro-Needling Treatment | Suction Needle + Juvelook Crystal 3cc | ₩660,000 |
| Potenza – the Gold Micro-Needling Treatment | N needle | ₩440,000 |
| Belotero | Filler injection | ₩1,320,000 |
| Paula Tyee | Filler injection | ₩1,650,000 |
| Pore Treatment: Pico Therapy for Pores | Tighten Pores | ₩330,000 |
| Filler Restylane Eylight | 1 box | ₩440,000 |
| Re20 | Advanced Combined Treatment Program | ₩880,000 (with an additional ₩2,200,000 option) |
Here are the key points to consider when checking prices: First, the Potenza comes in two versions—“suction needle” and “N needle.” The combination of the suction needle with Juvelook Crystal 3cc costs ₩660,000 and already includes a repair serum; the N needle option is priced at ₩440,000, making it a more affordable entry point. Second, Filler options range from ₩440,000 for one box of Restylane Eylight 1 to ₩1,650,000 for Perlane, offering great flexibility depending on your budget. Third, the Pico treatment for Pores costs ₩330,000, which is a reasonably affordable price for beginners, ideal for those trying medical aesthetics for the first time. Most importantly, these prices remain the same for both local customers in South Korea and overseas visitors—true “same price in China and South Korea.”
Before you go, search for “De Forest Busan” on BeautsGO to check the current prices. This will help you avoid misjudging short-term fluctuations caused by exchange rates or seasonal promotions, and it also allows you to lock in your appointment at the same time.
