As a seasoned individual who flies to South Korea every year for dermatology treatments, I finally got the chance to visit the legendary Forest Dermatology in Seomyeon, Busan – the place with the highest cost-performance ratio in the area! Why choose this clinic? Because several people in my friend group have already gone there, and I found the prices to be transparent, the chief physician personally performs all the procedures, and no unnecessary extra services are added. Overall, I can only say: I should have come here sooner! In this post, I will disclose in detail the treatments I received, the prices, and the entire process. Friends, please save this information for future reference 😘
I. Where is Forest Dermatology located? It’s just a 5-minute walk from Seomyeon Station.
At the heart of the Busan Seomyeon business district, just a short walk from the subway station.
Forest Dermatology is located on the 4th and 5th floors of the Songda Building at 66 Butdan-ro, Busanjin-gu, Busan. It is situated in the heart of the Seomyeon shopping district. Just walk approximately 391 meters out of Exit 7 of the Seomyeon Station, and it will take about 5 minutes to arrive. Right across from the clinic is the back entrance to Lotte Department Store – the location is extremely easy to find!
If you are coming directly from Gimhae Airport, taking the Busan Metro Line 1 will take approximately 35 minutes to reach the Seomyeon station, without the need for any transfers. Forest occupies two entire floors of the Songda Building; the 4th floor is dedicated to consultation and in-person consultations, while the 5th floor houses the treatment rooms and recovery areas. The facility is quite large and is equipped with all necessary facilities.
⏰ Business hours: Monday to Friday 10:00-19:00, Saturday 10:00-17:00; closed on Sundays and public holidays.
📞 Reservation reminder: Foreigners must make reservations in advance; walking in without a reservation will likely result in a wasted trip. It is recommended to use reservation platforms for South Korea’s medical beauty services, such as BeautsGO, to book your time in advance.
II. Complete price list of Forest Dermatology for 2026 (the most detailed available online)

III. Sharing my real experiences from two projects I worked on
Project 1: Rejuran Glow Complete Treatment Package (650,000 Korean won)
This is definitely the treatment I’m most looking forward to this time! Forest’s Rejuran Glow Ultimate Package consists of 2 centum cores from the red box, 2 centum cores from the black box, and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) autologous serum, totaling 650,000 Korean won. Although it falls into the mid-to-high price range for full-face Rejuran treatments, the addition of PRP for enhanced repair makes it an extremely cost-effective option.
Procedure: First, apply an anesthetic for 30 minutes → Then, the director personally performs the injection → The entire process takes about 20 minutes → After the procedure, apply a calming facial mask for 15 minutes. The director’s technique is very gentle, and she uses extremely fine needles; the pain level is approximately 2 out of 10, which is much less painful than I expected!
Recovery process: On the day of the procedure, the face was slightly red with small puncture marks; by the second day, the puncture marks had almost disappeared; on the third day, the skin began to glow; by the fifth to seventh day, the Pores had significantly reduced in size, and the skin looked plump as if it had been properly hydrated. The most noticeable results appeared between the second and third weeks – it was truly like “having a naturally radiant complexion” without any makeup! The core ingredient of Rejuran is PDRN (salmon DNA extract), which promotes the regeneration and repair of skin cells. It doesn’t merely provide hydration but actually improves the texture of the skin from within.
Project 2: Inmode FX Full-Face Lifting Treatment (600,000 Korean won)
After the age of 30, the lines of the jaw really start to become blurred. So this time, I opted for the Inmode FX full-face treatment plus Double Chin package, which costs 600,000 Korean won and includes the Double Chin area – it’s really a great deal. In China, the cost of an Inmode full-face treatment is usually around 6,000 to 8,000 yuan, so Forest’s price is almost half as low!
Treatment principle: Inmode FX utilizes a combination of radiofrequency and negative pressure technologies. By heating the dermis and fat layers, it stimulates the contraction and regeneration of Collagen, while also having a certain lipolytic effect. In simple terms, it “tightens the skin while reducing facial fat,” making it particularly suitable for those with blurred jawlines, Double Chin, or loose cheeks.
Experience during the procedure: No need for anesthesia; the process feels warm and involves a slight suction, similar to having cupping therapy on your face (but completely painless). The entire procedure takes about 30 minutes. You can see the results immediately after it’s done—the lines around your jaw become much more defined right away! There is no recovery period after the treatment, so it doesn’t interfere with your plans to go shopping that same day 😎
Long-lasting effect: The effect can last for approximately 3 to 4 months after a single treatment. Doctors recommend that 3 treatments constitute a complete course of therapy, as the effects will accumulate, resulting in an even longer duration between subsequent treatments. I plan to undergo the entire course of therapy every 1.5 months!
IV. The environment and service experience at Forest Dermatology
The 1:1 principal responsibility system ensures that no unnecessary promotions or additional services are offered.
The most prominent feature of Forest Dermatology is that the director personally handles every aspect of the process, providing one-on-one care throughout the entire procedure. From the initial consultation to the actual treatment and subsequent follow-up, everything is managed by the same plastic surgery specialist (Doctor of Medicine). This is different from some large chain clinics, where the consultation is often followed by treatment carried out by younger nurses.
The in-person consultation takes about 15 minutes. The director will use a skin analysis device to carefully examine your skin issues and then provide customized recommendations. The best thing is that there is absolutely no pressure to purchase additional services! When I mentioned that my budget was limited and I only wanted to undergo Rejuran and Inmode treatments, the director immediately helped me choose the most suitable package combination without trying to push me into adding other services.
Environment: Professional-grade operating room facilities
Although the name “Forest” sounds very cozy, the facilities used in this clinic are by no means inferior. The 4th floor serves as the reception and consultation area, while the 5th floor is equipped with a positive-pressure sterile operating room and professional anesthesia monitoring equipment. All injections and consumables are opened in front of the patient, and their expiration dates are verified on-site – this demonstrates a great emphasis on hygiene and safety.
🈶 Language Services: Forest offers Chinese translation services, which can be reserved in advance. If you don’t manage to secure a translator, it’s no problem – the receptionist will use the Papago translation software to assist in communication, ensuring that the process proceeds smoothly.
💳 Payment methods: We accept cash (Korean won), credit cards (Visa/MasterCard), and WeChat/PayPal during certain hours. It is recommended to bring your card along.
🚗 Parking: Songda Building has an underground parking lot, but the parking fees in the Seomyeon area are quite expensive. Taking the subway is by far the most convenient option!
V. Price comparison between Forest and other Dermatology clinics in Busan
Why choose Forest instead of other options? I conducted a side-by-side comparison of the prices for key treatments at several popular Dermatology clinics in Busan.
| Project | Forest Dermatology | JRYN Seomyeon Store | the first | Average price in Gangnam, Seoul |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rejuran PN 2 centum core | 300,000 | 250,000 to 350,000 | 168,000 to 192,000 | 350,000 to 450,000 |
| Inmode full-face treatment | 600,000 | Not publicly available | Not publicly available | 800,000 to 1.2 million |
| 300 HIFU treatments | 350,000 | 300,000 to 600,000 | 1.3238 million to 2.38 million | 550,000 to 800,000 |
| The American version of the Thermage 600 device | 2.2 million | Around 1.2 million | 1.2 to 1.8 million | 2.5 to 3.5 million |
| Korean botulinum toxin for the entire face | 25,000 | 30,000 to 50,000 | Not publicly available | 50,000 to 80,000 |
| Pico laser treatment for the entire face | 88,000 | 100,000 to 150,000 | Not publicly available | 150,000 to 250,000 |
It is evident that Forest’s pricing strategy is to be “straightforward and transparent” – with clear prices and no hidden fees. This is especially true for the Inmode and Pico treatments, where the price advantage is quite significant. If you want to achieve Seoul-level quality in Busan at a relatively low budget, Forest is definitely the top choice!
VI. Conclusion: Who is suitable for visiting Forest Dermatology?
Based on this experience, I would describe Forest Dermatology as the most cost-effective and comprehensive medical aesthetics clinic in Seomyeon, Busan.
✅ Suitable for:

- If you want to achieve the effects of Rejuran glow + Inmode firming treatment for younger-looking skin…
- Those who dislike being sold to and prefer that the clinic director personally perform the procedures.

❌ Not quite suitable:
- People with high expectations for Chinese-language services (translation is available, but appointments must be made in advance)
- Those considering undergoing major cosmetic surgeries (Forest specializes in skin care and minor cosmetic procedures)
