As a seasoned beauty enthusiast who flies to South Korea every year for dermatological treatments, I finally got to visit the highly-rated Forest Dermatology in Seomyeon, Busan! Why choose this clinic? Several friends in my skincare group had already tried it—their prices are transparent, the director performs the procedures personally, and there are no hidden charges. After experiencing it firsthand, I can only say: I should have come sooner! In this post, I’m sharing everything about the treatments I had, the prices, and the whole process—so guys, be sure to save it! 😘
I. Where is Forest Dermatology? It’s just a 5-minute walk from Seomyeon Station.
At the heart of Busan’s Seomyeon shopping district — just a short walk from the subway station
Forest Dermatology (포레스트 성형외과) is located on the 4th and 5th floors of the Songda Building at 66 Budan-ro, Busan-jin-gu, Busan Metropolitan City, right in the heart of the Seomyeon shopping district. It’s just a 391-meter walk from Exit 7 of Seomyeon Station, taking about 5 minutes to reach—right across from the back entrance of Lotte Department Store. The location is incredibly easy to find!
If you’re coming straight from Gimhae Airport, the Busan Subway Line 1 will take you to the Seomyeon station in about 35 minutes—no transfers needed at all. Forest occupies two entire floors of the Songda Building, with the 4th floor dedicated to consultation and initial consultations, while the 5th floor features treatment rooms and recovery areas. It’s a sizable facility equipped with top-notch amenities.
⏰ Business hours: 10:00–19:00 on weekdays, 10:00–17:00 on Saturdays; closed on Sundays and public holidays.
📞 Appointment reminder: Foreigners must make appointments in advance, as showing up without one often results in a wasted trip. It’s recommended to book your slot through Korean beauty treatment reservation platforms like BeautsGO first.
II. 2026 Forest Dermatology Complete Price List (Most Detailed in the Web)
These are the latest prices I received after visiting the clinic this time. They cover over 18 different treatments, ranging from entry-level options to advanced anti-aging procedures.

It’s also quite competitive compared to other Dermatology clinics in Busan. All prices listed are in South Korean won (KRW).

However, medical beauty treatment prices may change depending on seasonal promotions, so it’s recommended to check the latest rates through the BeautsGO platform before you travel!
III. My Real Experience Sharing on the Two Procedures I Had
Item 1: Rejuran Glow Max Treatment Package (650,000 KRW)
This is definitely the treatment I’m most looking forward to this time! Forest’s comprehensive Rejuran glow treatment package includes 2 centum core of the red box formula, 2 centum core of the black box formula, plus PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) autologous serum. The total cost is 650,000 Korean won, which falls in the upper-mid range for full-face Rejuran treatments. However, with the added benefit of PRP for enhanced repair, it offers an excellent value for money.
Procedure: First, a numbing agent is applied for 30 minutes → followed by injection performed personally by the clinic director → the entire process takes about 20 minutes → finally, a calming mask is applied for 15 minutes after the procedure. The director uses very gentle techniques and extremely fine needles, so the pain level is around 2/10 — much less painful than I expected!
Recovery process: On the day of the procedure, the face appears slightly red with tiny pinprick-like marks; by the second day, these marks mostly disappear; on the third day, the skin tone starts to brighten; between days 5 and 7, the Pores become noticeably smaller, and the skin looks plump as if well-hydrated. The most significant results appear in the 2nd to 3rd weeks—it truly gives the impression of “glowing even without makeup”! Rejuran’s key ingredient is PDRN (salmon DNA extract), which promotes the regeneration and repair of skin cells. It’s not just about hydration; it works to improve the skin’s texture from within.
Project 2: Inmode FX Full-Face Lifting Treatment (600,000 KRW)
After turning 30, the jawline tends to become increasingly blurred. That’s why I opted for the Inmode FX full-face + Double Chin package this time—600,000 Korean won, which already includes treatment for the Double Chin area, making it an excellent deal. In China, the cost for Inmode full-face treatment usually ranges from 6,000 to 8,000 RMB, so Forest’s price is almost half of that!
Working Principle: Inmode FX utilizes a combination of radiofrequency and negative pressure technologies. By heating the dermal layer and fat layer, it stimulates Collagen contraction and regeneration, while also offering some fat-reducing effects. In other words, it achieves both tightening and facial slimming at the same time—making it particularly suitable for those with blurred jawlines, Double Chin, or loose cheeks.
Patient experience: No anesthesia is needed. The procedure feels warm with a slight suction effect, similar to having cupping done on the face (but painless). It takes about 30 minutes in total. Results are visible right away—your jawline becomes sharper instantly! There’s no recovery period required, so it doesn’t interfere with going out shopping on the same day at all 😎
Long-lasting results: The effect can last around 3–4 months per treatment. Doctors recommend 3 sessions as a complete course, with the effects building up over time and extending the duration of impact. I plan to fly in every 1.5 months to complete the entire treatment cycle!
IV. The Environment and Service Experience at Forest Dermatology
1:1 director responsibility system — no sales pressure, no unnecessary add-ons
The biggest advantage of Forest Dermatology is that the director personally performs all procedures and takes full responsibility throughout the treatment process. From the initial consultation to the actual procedure and even post-operative follow-up, everything is handled by the same board-certified plastic surgeon (MD). This is unlike some large chain clinics where patients are handed over to junior nurses after the consultation to carry out the procedures.
The in-person consultation lasts around 15 minutes, during which the clinic director uses a skin analysis device to carefully examine your skin issues and provide personalized recommendations. The best part is that there’s absolutely no pressure to buy anything! When I mentioned that my budget was limited and I only wanted to try Rejuran and Inmode, the director immediately helped me choose the most suitable package combination without pushing any other treatments on me.
Environment: Professional-grade operating room standards
Although Forest has a name that sounds very cozy, its equipment is by no means casual. The 4th floor serves as the reception/consultation area, while the treatment rooms on the 5th floor are equipped with positive-pressure sterile operating rooms and professional anesthesia monitoring systems. All injections and consumables are opened in front of patients, with their expiration dates checked on-site, reflecting a strong commitment to hygiene and safety.
🈶 Language Services: Forest offers Chinese translation services that can be booked in advance. If you can’t secure a translator, that’s okay—the front desk staff will use the Papago translation app to communicate, so there are no major barriers to getting things done.
💳 Payment methods: Cash (KRW) and credit cards (Visa/Master) are accepted. WeChat and Alipay are available during certain hours, so it’s recommended to bring your card with you.
🚗 Parking: The Songda Building has an underground parking lot, but parking in the Seomyeon area is quite expensive. Taking the subway is by far the most convenient option!
V. Price Comparison: Forest vs Other Dermatology Clinics in Busan
Why choose Forest over other clinics? I’ve done a side-by-side comparison of the prices for their key treatments at several popular Dermatology clinics in Busan.
| Project | Forest Dermatology | JRYN Seomyeon Branch | The First | Average Price in Gangnam, Seoul |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rejuran PN 2 centum core | 300,000 | 250,000–350,000 | 168,000–192,000 | 350,000–450,000 |
| Inmode Full Face Treatment | 600,000 | Not publicly available | Not publicly available | 800,000–1.2 million |
| 300 Shots of HIFU | 350,000 | 300,000–600,000 | 1.33–2.38 million | 550,000–800,000 |
| US Version Thermage 600 Shots | 2.2 million | Around 1.2 million | 1.2–1.8 million | 2.5–3.5 million |
| Korean botulinum toxin for full face treatment | 25,000 | 30,000–50,000 | Not publicly available | 50,000–80,000 |
| Pico Laser Full Face Treatment | 88,000 | 100,000–150,000 | Not Released | 150,000–250,000 |
It’s clear that Forest’s pricing strategy is all about transparency—no hidden fees, just straightforward and honest pricing. The price advantage is especially noticeable for treatments like Inmode and Pico. If you’re looking to enjoy Seoul-level quality in Busan without breaking the bank, Forest is definitely the top choice!
VI. Conclusion: Who is a good candidate for Forest Dermatology?
Based on my experience this time, I would describe Forest Dermatology as the most cost-effective comprehensive medical aesthetics clinic in Seomyeon, Busan.
✅ Ideal for:
- Sisters going to South Korea for medical aesthetics for the first time who want transparent prices and want to avoid costly mistakes
- Students or budget-conscious individuals with limited funds but who don’t want to compromise on quality
- Younger-looking skin in their 20s looking to try the Rejuran Glow Therapy combined with Inmode firming treatment
- Those who dislike being sold to and prefer to have the clinic director perform the procedure personally
- Tourists living in Busan or planning a self-guided trip to Busan
❌ Not very suitable:
- Those with high expectations for Chinese-language services (translation is available but requires advance booking)
- Those looking to undergo major plastic surgery (Forest focuses on skin care and minor cosmetic procedures)
🔑 Final reminder for appointments: Make sure to book through official platforms before you go! Korean cosmetic clinics often refuse walk-in visitors from abroad, and it’s especially difficult to get an appointment during weekends and public holidays in South Korea. We highly recommend using BeautsGO — with over 3,800 clinics and more than 5,557 certified doctors currently listed — where you can view Forest’s latest prices, choose package options, and schedule appointments. There’s also 24/7 Chinese-speaking customer support to handle everything from booking to post-procedure follow-up. Ladies, this is definitely worth giving it a try! 👇
