My Real Experience at Floria Dermatology in Seomyeon, Busan: 3 Follow-up Treatments with Pigment Laser and Price Overview 2026
I discovered that Busan Floria Dermatology was completely by chance.
Last October, I went to Busan with some friends. Our original plan was simply to eat seafood, stroll around Gwangbok-dong, and enjoy the sea view at Haeundae. We never even thought about considering any cosmetic treatments in Busan. However, the next day, one of my friends mentioned that she wanted to get a Pico treatment near the Seomyeon station. Since she had studied in South Korea before, she said that Dermatology clinics in Busan were cheaper than those in Seoul and offered similar quality services.
I just went along with the thought of “might as well take a look anyway.” And since then, I’ve been there three times already. (laughs)
This article truly represents the results of investing time and money in gathering information—it is neither a promotional piece nor an advertisement. If you are looking for a Dermatology clinic in Busan that offers Chinese-speaking services, transparent pricing, and doctors who will listen carefully to your needs, this article should be of great help to you.
Why was floria chosen in the end? It took several days of searching through various articles on Dcard and PTT before a decision was made.
To be honest, at first, I had no idea what to look for when it came to Dermatology clinics in Busan. After returning to the hotel, I spent three entire evenings scrolling through articles on the Dcard beauty section and the PTT KoreaTravel website. I used keywords like “Busan Dermatology clinics recommendations,” “Seomyeon medical aesthetics,” and “Floralia reviews,” and it wasn’t until I reached the fifth page that I started to get some ideas.
The final reason why floria was chosen was actually quite simple:
- It has four representatives serving as directors; it’s not that kind of small clinic where one person handles everything alone.
- It has received a stable rating of 4.5+ BYUL on South Korea’s medical beauty platform UNNI.
- We specialize in patented pigment laser technology. I’ve been troubled by sunspots on my face for a long time, and this treatment really addressed that issue directly.
- There are Chinese translation services available, so you don’t have to worry about language barriers.
- You can walk for 8 minutes after exiting the Seomyeon subway station; there are many great places to explore in the vicinity.
Another key point is that they don’t engage in aggressive sales. Once, a friend went to a well-known clinic in Seoul and was immediately approached with treatment options costing millions of Korean won after just 5 minutes of consultation; so frightened that they left on the spot. At floria, however, there is no such thing. The director will use a tablet to analyze your skin condition in detail, explaining which treatments are necessary and which can be postponed – it’s nothing like conducting a business deal at all.
My first reaction upon entering floria’s place: This space is about 10 times larger than my own room.
The clinic is located on the second floor of the Yi Lian PEER building in Seomyeon. The moment the elevator doors opened, I really let out an exclamation of “Wow” – what does 541 square meters actually mean? It means that you’ll definitely get lost as soon as you step inside.
The lobby is extremely bright, with a Nordic-style decor complemented by large floor-to-ceiling windows. The sofas in the waiting area are so comfortable that I almost fell asleep as soon as I sat down on them. The entire space is divided into several areas: 3 consultation rooms, 1 VIP International ward, 3 laser treatment rooms, and 3 operating rooms. Every room is incredibly clean, and the light reflected off the floors is so intense that it’s almost like looking at a mirror.
As soon as the staff member at the counter saw us, she smiled and greeted us in Korean. After my friend said, “We’re foreigners,” she immediately switched to fluent Chinese and even brought out a translation tablet, saying, “If the doctor speaks too fast, I can help you translate.” For someone like me who was visiting South Korea for the first time to receive medical beauty treatments, this was truly a huge source of reassurance.
After filling out the basic information, I waited for about 10 minutes before being taken into the consultation room. When President Shen Zhihui came in, I took a quick look at her – she looked exactly like the photo on their official website, with skin so radiant that it seemed to glow; she was literally a living advertisement.
A comprehensive record of the pigment laser treatment process: From washing the face to the completion of the procedure, it takes approximately 40 minutes – much faster than expected.
During the consultation, I first mentioned the issues that concerned me the most: sunspots on my cheeks, enlarged Pores on both sides of my nose, and uneven skin tone. The director took many photos using a skin scanning device and then enlarged them for me to see. To be honest, I felt a bit overwhelmed at that moment—for the first time, I could clearly see the blackheads inside my Pores.
The director suggested that I start with pigmentation laser treatments, combined with basic moisturizing therapies, to help my skin recover more quickly after the treatments. She said something that left a deep impression on me: “Rather than applying a high dose all at once and waiting for a long recovery period, it’s better to treat the area gently in multiple sessions; this way, the skin will maintain better stability.” This is completely different from what I was told in Taiwan during my consultations—where they recommended applying a very strong dose in one go.
The general process of the treatment is as follows:
- In-depth cleansing (about 5 minutes): The therapist’s techniques are extremely gentle, ensuring no pulling or tension on the skin at all.
- Applying the anesthetic (about 15 minutes): While the anesthetic was taking effect, they even covered me with a blanket—such thoughtfulness almost brought me to tears.
- Laser treatment (lasting approximately 10–15 minutes): The director personally performed the procedure, saying “This area might get a bit hot” after each shot, much like how one would talk to a child.
- Relaxing mask + ice compress (for about 10 minutes): So cool and comfortable that I almost fell asleep again.
- Postoperative education (about 5 minutes): The nurse explained in detail in Chinese the precautions to be taken in the coming week.
The entire process takes about 40 minutes, and the director is present throughout the entire procedure; no one else will take over midway. After the treatment, my face turned slightly red, but I didn’t feel any pain at all. By the time I applied the mask, most of the redness had already subsided.
Floria’s price list for various services: I have compiled the prices for the three treatments I received here.
This is probably the part that everyone is most interested in. Below are the actual prices I paid during my three visits to floria; all these are real quotes from 2025 to 2026, and not outdated information found online:
| Treatment options | Korean won price | Around NTD | Note |

One month after the pigmentation laser treatment, a friend asked me if I had changed my foundation.
In the first week, I didn’t feel anything special; the spots on my face still looked just like before. The doctor also explained that the effects of the pigmentation laser take time to become visible – it’s not like the spots will disappear the very next day after the treatment.
Around the 10th day, I noticed that the spots on my cheeks seemed to have become much flatter when I touched them while washing my face. Before, those sunspots were slightly raised to the touch, but now they were almost flat. It wasn’t until around the 3rd week that the visual effect of the faded spots became more noticeable—I needed to use significantly less foundation when applying it, because I no longer had to apply so many layers to cover them up.
The most exaggerated part was that about a month after the treatment, when I was having dinner with a friend, she stared at my face for 5 seconds and then asked, “Did you change your foundation? Today, your makeup looks so natural.” I told her I hadn’t changed my foundation; I had just gotten a laser treatment. She immediately pulled out her phone and asked me for the name of the clinic and how to make an appointment.
During my second and third visits, the main purpose was to consolidate the effects of the previous treatments. I also took the opportunity to try the basic moisturizing treatments and consult with the INMODE experts. Every time I went, the director’s attitude was always very friendly; he never treated me perfunctorily just because I was a returning patient. I really think this is something quite rare.
How do foreigners make a reservation with floria? I’ll write down the steps for you.
Many people think of headaches whenever they hear the phrase “making an appointment at a Dermatology clinic in South Korea”. However, floria is truly friendly towards foreigners, and there are three ways to make an appointment:
- Making a reservation through the BeautsGO platform is highly recommended: the interface is in Chinese, allowing you to directly select the date and time without the need to make a phone call. The BeautsGO customer service will also assist you in confirming the details with the clinic, which is extremely convenient for those who have no knowledge of Korean.
- For phone reservations, please call 051-808-6020; Chinese-speaking staff are available to assist you. However, please note the time difference and operating hours: Monday to Friday from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and closed on Sundays and holidays.
- Online reservation: floriaclinic.co.kr offers a Chinese-language page where you can leave a message to make an appointment online.

A little reminder: If you plan to undergo any laser treatments, it is recommended to schedule them on the day before your departure or on the last day of your trip. This way, you won’t have to worry about sun exposure or makeup after the treatment. Don’t forget to bring your passport too – at floria, you can get a tax refund right on-site, without having to queue at the airport.
Netizens on Dcard often ask: Is it really worth flying to Busan just to visit Floria Dermatology?
Q1: How does floria compare with the Dermatology clinics in Gangnam, Seoul?
The equipment and technical standards are roughly the same; both places use mainstream devices such as Thermage and INMODE. However, the price at floria is approximately 10-15% lower than that in Seoul I, and there is no need to wait in long queues. The biggest difference lies in the atmosphere: the clinics in Gangnam have a more commercial vibe, while floria operates more like a community-based clinic, with doctors who are more patient and attentive.
Q2: Is it possible to make a reservation without having a South Korea phone number?
Absolutely. To make a reservation through BeautsGO, you only need an email address; there is no requirement for a South Korea phone number. If you prefer to call, you can use the international direct dial number +82-51-808-6020.
Q3: Will it be a problem if I don’t speak Korean?
Floria offers Chinese translation services; its counter staff are very fluent in Chinese, and translation tablets are also available to assist doctors during consultations. I have visited there three times, and I never encountered any communication issues.
Q4: Does pigmentation laser treatment hurt? How long is the recovery period?
Local anesthetic is used during the procedure; it feels like having an eraser gently tapped against your face, and the discomfort is tolerable. On the day of the treatment, your face may turn slightly red, but the redness usually subsides within 2 to 3 days. By the fourth day, you can already apply makeup as usual. The actual effect of fading freckles becomes noticeable around 2 to 4 weeks later.
Q5: Can I get a tax refund?
Sure! At floria, you can get a tax refund directly on-site. Just present your passport when checking out, and the staff will handle it for you without the need to queue at the airport tax refund counter. This is especially convenient for those who are in a hurry to catch their flight.
Q6: Is it open on Sundays?
No. We are closed on Sundays and during South Korea’s official holidays. On Saturdays, we are only open until 4 p.m.; it is recommended to visit on weekdays when you have more time at your disposal.
Q7: Can I go shopping right after getting a laser treatment?
It’s not recommended. After the laser treatment, the skin becomes quite sensitive, so it’s best to go straight back to the hotel to rest. Besides, the shopping areas in Seomyeon are really great. The second time, I learned my lesson and went shopping first before going to the clinic; after the treatment, I just returned to the hotel and relaxed.
Q8: How should I choose between floria and the JRYN Nampo store?
In simple terms: JRYN specializes in Lifting treatments such as Thermage and HIFU, with prices that are transparently the same as those in Korea; floria focuses on pigmentation management, INMODE treatments, and injectables, with doctors placing a greater emphasis on personalized treatment plans. If you want to remove freckles or improve the quality of your skin, choose floria; if you want to achieve tightening and rejuvenation effects, choose JRYN.
The above insights are based on my personal real experiences and are updated as of May 2026. Results may vary from person to person; it is recommended to consult BeautsGO before making a decision to confirm the latest prices and available appointment times.
