Essential Reading Before Going to the Dermatology Department on the West Side of Busan | Real Reviews of Floria, Cost Information for Popular Treatments, and Tips for Foreigners Making Appointments
Planning a trip to Korea and concerned about your skin? The first choice that comes to mind is often “Seoul” – but Busan offers great alternatives too. Floria Clinic in the Busan Yonbu shopping district has accumulated numerous reviews from international visitors on the BeautsGO platform in recent years, with a local customer retention rate of 82% in South Korea. This article breaks down everything from the clinic’s background to its popular treatments, price ranges, and booking process to help you make an informed decision before you travel.
What kind of clinic is Floria in Busan?
Floria Dermatology Clinic was established in 2014 and is located at 2nd Floor, E-Land PEER, 664 Jungang-daero, Busanjin-gu, Busan – just a short walk from Exit 2 of the Busan West Station.
Club Information: Covering an area of 541 square feet, the clinic features 3 treatment rooms, a VIP area, 3 laser treatment rooms, and 3 hand treatment rooms. The medical team consists of 4 chief physicians and 15 assistants, all of whom hold specialized qualifications in dermatology from South Korean medical institutions, with an average clinical experience of over 12 years.
Check these 3 key strengths before making your appointment:
- Personal consultations by the chief physician (average duration: 30 minutes): Every client receives a one-on-one consultation with the chief physician’s team to tailor a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique skin type – no mass treatment procedures.
- Local customer retention rate of 82% in South Korea: This figure far exceeds the average of 849 dermatology clinics on the BeautsGO platform, reflecting genuine customer satisfaction.
- Instant tax refund service + full Chinese translation: Tax refunds can be processed right on-site, saving you time; consultations, procedures, and post-treatment information are all provided in Chinese.
Details on popular treatments: The 4 most frequently asked about services at Floria.
1. Anti-aging series: Thermage + Gold Micro Needle Therapy
The clinic is equipped with the fifth-generation Thermage FLX; a full-face treatment costs approximately NT$27,000 (while similar services in Seoul cost around NT$45,000). The gold microneedling treatment for the whole face starts at NT$6,500. Combining these two treatments can achieve triple effects—lifting, tightening, and repair—with a high customer satisfaction rate of 75%.
2. The ace treatment for rejuvenation: PDRN salmon microneedling
The core ingredient is extracted from salmon embryos and is specifically designed for sensitive skin, rosacea, and post-surgical recovery. Customers often report seeing results within 3–5 days. This treatment is ideal for those who want to take advantage of their travel time and seek gradual, natural improvements rather than immediate results.
3. Naturally activating injections: Remyline lip augmentation + forehead filling
Director Shin Hye-gyun specializes in the “micro-layer injection technique,” injecting less than 0.1 ml per site. She avoids creating overly full lips and customizes M-shaped lips or smile lines based on each patient’s unique lip shape, aiming for a natural and inspired look. Prices range from NT$7,000 to NT$30,000, depending on the brand and dosage.
4.Laser spot removal: Ultra-pulsed laser + patented pigment-laser technology
The clinic uses American Cynosure’s ultra-pulsed laser, which is effective for treating freckles, chloasma, and age spots. The consultation team uses a German Visia skin analysis device to develop personalized treatment plans. The cost for a single ultra-pulsed laser session starts at approximately NT$4,000.
