I. How to Choose a Dermatology Clinic in Haeundae, Busan: Why I Wrote This Article Specifically About the Centum City Area
Many people who go to Busan for medical beauty treatments think of “Seomyeon Station” first, as there are indeed plenty of clinics there. But after exploring the area myself, I found that if you’re staying in Haeundae or already have plans to visit the Centum City area (around Lotte World Mall and BEXCO), it’s really a hassle to travel all the way to Seomyeon just for this purpose. The Centum shopping complex in Haeundae district already has four top-notch dermatology and plastic surgery clinics. You can get there easily by subway, and after strolling along the beach, you can have your treatment right away at prices comparable to those in Seomyeon.
This isn’t an advertisement. I’ve compared the addresses, hours of operation, ratings, and prices of these four clinics—Haeundae Centum BB Hospital, miul Dermatology at Busan Centum, Busan Centum EL Dermatology, and Busan Centum Core Plastic Surgery—to help you avoid unnecessary detours. Here’s the quick verdict in just 30 seconds.
- Those considering surgeries such as double eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, or eye repair: Head to HaiyunTai Centum BB Hospital first (a plastic surgery hospital with a team of 24 doctors).
- If you’re looking for skin care treatments, hyaluronic acid injections, laser therapies, and a comfortable relaxation experience, be sure to check out Miul Dermatology in Centum City, Busan — it features a lounge area and holds a 4.5 rating.
- I’m only available on weekends, and I even need to do it on Sunday: only Busan Centum Core Plastic Surgery is open on both Saturday and Sunday, with appointments available on Sunday as well.
- Looking for a clinic near the subway station, offering personalized care and quick access? Check out Busan’s Centum EL Dermatology.
My conclusion: Residents of Haeundae definitely don’t need to head to Seomyeon. Just choose from these four stores in Centum City based on your specific needs. Prices are subject to the current price list on site, so it’s best to compare prices before making a reservation.
II. Comparative Overview of 4 Dermatology Clinics in the Centum City Shopping Area of Busan Haeundae
First, I’ve put the essential information about these 4 clinics in a table so you can quickly see their addresses, operating hours, and ratings. I specifically marked whether they’re open on Sundays, as many people fly to Busan only on weekends.
Data source: Public pages of various clinics on BeautsGO (address, hours, ratings), as well as publicly available information from the Korean Dermatological Association’s KDA. Prices may vary depending on promotions; please refer to the price list on site.
III. HaiyunTai Centum BB Hospital: A plastic surgery clinic staffed by a team of 24 doctors
Among these four clinics, Centum BB is the only one labeled as a “plastic surgery hospital.” Its biggest advantage lies in its team of 24 skilled doctors who specialize in procedures such as double eyelid revision and rhinoplasty, as well as offering skin care services. It’s located on the 3rd floor of Centum Core, in the same building as cc Plastic Surgery but on a different floor — making it easily accessible while shopping at New World Department Store.
IV. Miul Dermatology in Centum City, Busan: Skin care services with a relaxing lounge where you can lie down
Miul is located on the 2nd floor of Forena Centum City, focusing exclusively on dermatology services. It specializes in skin care treatments such as skin management, laser therapy, and hyaluronic acid injections. A friend who visited there said there’s a lounge where you can relax, and they don’t rush you after the treatment—making it very convenient for those visiting Korea for the first time to get skin care done without feeling overwhelmed. Doctors customize treatment plans based on an individual’s age and skin type, rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
V. Busan Centum EL Dermatology: Personalized Treatments Right Next to the Subway Station
Centum EL is located on the 5th floor of Building 10, Road 2 in Centum City — it’s conveniently close to the subway station, so you can get your treatment easily after work or while shopping. Specializing in dermatology, the clinic emphasizes “personalized care recommendations,” making it ideal for those who want quick access to services without having to wait in long lines. It currently has a Google rating of 5.0 (though there aren’t many reviews yet; it’s advisable to check ratings across multiple platforms).
VI. Busan Centum Core Plastic Surgery: Open on Saturdays and Sundays, with consultations available on Sundays as well
CC Plastic Surgery is located on the 3rd floor of Building C1, No. 38, Route 2, Ocean City. It’s the only one among these four clinics that remains open on both Saturdays and Sundays, offering consultations on Sundays as well, without any lunch breaks. For those who only have time to fly to Busan on weekends with tightly scheduled itineraries, this is by far the most convenient option. As a full-fledged plastic surgery hospital, it specializes in initial eye surgeries and eye reconstruction, as well as providing Filler treatments and laser therapies.
VII. Side-by-Side Comparison of 4 Dermatology Clinics in Haeundae: How Should I Choose?
If we break down the requirements, the 4 companies actually have clear divisions of labor. The table below matches different situations to specific companies, which is more useful than simply comparing prices.
If your itinerary happens to take you by the Seomyeon station, you might want to check out The Face Plastic Surgery in Busan’s Seomyeon area. For those a 20-minute drive away from Haeundae, Busan The First Dermatology is another great option. Before undergoing anti-aging treatments using devices like Ulthera or Thermage, be sure to read this article on whether these two procedures can be done simultaneously.
VIII. Before going to Haeundae for medical beauty treatments, make sure these 8 details are covered first
| Focus Point 1 | Business Days and Sundays |
Out of these 4 clinics in Haeundae, only Centum Core is open on Sundays, while the other 3 are closed all day. If you’re planning to fly over on the weekend, make sure to check first whether services are available on Sundays to avoid a wasted trip.
| Focus Point 2｜Lunch Break Time |
At Centum City BB, lunch break is from 1:00–2:00 PM, while at miul it’s from 1:00–2:20 PM. Centum Core doesn’t have a lunch break on Saturdays and Sundays. Try to schedule your appointments outside these breaks to avoid waiting.
| Focus Point 3｜Chinese Services |
Haeundae is crowded with tourists, and most clinics have Chinese-speaking managers or translators, though their proficiency varies. Make sure to check in advance whether there’s someone who can communicate in Chinese when booking, so your consultation will go smoothly.
| Focus Point 4｜Price Includes Tax |
Most quotes in South Korea don’t include a 10% additional tax, and you’ll have to pay an extra 10% when settling on site. When asking for a price, always ask for the “total price including tax” — don’t rely solely on the listed price.
| Focus Point 5｜Genuine Original Products |
For devices like Ultherapy, Thermage, and Juvelook, it’s essential to use original probes or genuine products. During your consultation, ask the clinic to open them in front of you or show proof of authenticity to avoid counterfeit items.
| Focus Point 6｜Performed by the Director Personally or by a Nurse? |
For treatments like injections and lasers, the quality can vary greatly depending on who performs them. Make sure to ask when booking whether it will be done by the director in person or by an assistant, so you don’t end up disappointed when you get there.
| Focus Point 7｜Post-Procedure Follow-Up and Recovery Room |
The fact that Miul has a lounge where you can lie down is a big plus for those doing this procedure for the first time; also ask in advance whether you need to return for a follow-up appointment due to post-procedure swelling, and how to get in touch.
| Focus Point 8｜Same Price in China and Korea + Booking Fee |
Some clinics offer the same price in both Chinese and Korean currencies, while others require a reservation deposit (which can be applied toward treatment sessions). Make sure to check whether the reservation deposit is refundable and whether the same price truly applies before placing an order.
