Facial treatments in Seomyeon, Busan start at just 200,000 KRW? An in-depth review by Lizon Dermatology: The reliable choice among chain brands
On this trip to Busan, I didn’t schedule my medical beauty appointments in Haeundae but instead stayed right in the Seomyeon area. There’s a practical reason for that: the Subway Line 2 connects directly there, making it convenient for shopping and dining. Plus, if my face gets red after any treatment, I can head back to the hotel to rest right away. Many people ask me about “Lizon Dermatology in Busan,” and my answer is quite practical—it’s not the high-end, customized service you’d find in Gangnam, but rather an affordable option among chain clinics that offers transparent pricing, standardized procedures, and consultations with the director in person. I went there myself this time and will share both the pros and cons with you.

Why Choose Lizon in Seomyeon?
I chose Lizon this time not because it’s the cheapest option, but because it meets my requirements in three key aspects: First, it’s located right next to Seomyeon Station, and it takes less than 10 minutes to get there from the hotel. Second, it’s a chain clinic—Dr. Jeong Yeon-jae has experience working at Lian in Hongdae and Ppeum in Seomyeon, so his approach is practical and down-to-earth rather than overly experimental. Third, the platform provides clear reference prices for various treatments such as Pico, hyaluronic acid injections, HIFU, and Thermage, so you won’t be left completely unsure once you arrive.
I actually arrived at the clinic on a Friday afternoon. It’s located on the 15th floor of Sungwon Medical Building. As soon as the elevator doors open, you’ll find Lizon’s reception area, featuring a white-themed design and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer views of the Seomyeon skyline. The waiting area isn’t very large, but since appointments are required, there’s no need to wait in long queues. The front desk provides support in Chinese—just mention your preference when making an appointment, and a translation app will suffice for communication on site.
Reference price range for 2026 (public market rates on the platform; actual price subject to in-person consultation)
Lizon offers affordable pricing, making it particularly suitable for those visiting South Korea for the first time to get medical beauty treatments with a limited budget. Below are the reference prices I compiled from the BeautsGO platform and local reviews in South Korea; the actual cost will vary depending on the scope of treatment, product brands, and combined packages.
| Project | Reference Price (KRW) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pico Laser / Honeycomb Pico | 280,000 to 800,000 per session | Depending on the area and treatment method, it is recommended to have 3–5 sessions per course of treatment. |
| Basic Hydrating Glow Injection | 150,000 ~ 380,000 per session | The effects last for 1–2 months |
| American Version Thermage FLX (600 shots for the entire face) | Starting from 1.99 million | It’s recommended to book 1 month in advance. |
| Korean-style HIFU: Shurink (300 shots for the entire face) | Starting from 190,000 | High-value entry-level lifting treatment |
| Filler / Botox / Lipolysis Injection | By brand and number of Centum Core units | The dosage needs to be determined after an in-person consultation. |
*The prices listed above are the publicly available reference rates set by the platform, not fixed quotes from Lizon. The final price will be determined based on a personalized treatment plan after an in-person consultation with the clinic director.
Experience it in person: Schedule an appointment → Consultation → Treatment
I scheduled my appointment for 2:00 p.m. on Friday, aiming to avoid the first batch of clients after lunch break. Upon arriving at the clinic, the receptionist confirmed my booking and led me to the consultation room to wait. Once Dr. Jeong Yeon-jae arrived, he first asked about my current skincare routine, any history of allergies, and my schedule during my stay in South Korea. I originally wanted to go straight for a Pico treatment combined with hyaluronic acid therapy, but after examining my skin condition, he suggested, “Your skin is a bit sensitive at the moment. It’s better to start with a soothing treatment first, and then proceed with the Pico treatment in three days—this will yield more stable results.”
This kind of “persuasion to give up” actually made me feel more at ease. In the end, I chose a combination of basic hydrating treatment and LED phototherapy, with the procedure taking about 50 minutes. A nurse opened the syringes right in front of me, while the clinic director personally administered the injections. Afterward, there were small needle marks on my face, but the swelling wasn’t severe. I applied a mask back at the hotel, and I was able to go out shopping normally the next day.
Standardized processes of chain brands
Lizon is a chain Dermatology clinic that originated in Hongdae, Seoul, and now has over 10 branches across South Korea. One of the advantages of a chain system is its standardized procedures: from booking appointments, skin assessments, consultations with chief physicians to post-treatment guidance, the SOPs remain largely consistent across all stores. For someone like me who doesn’t want to spend too much time researching options and is worried about making poor choices, this level of “predictability” itself serves as a great guarantee.
However, being a chain store also means “limited personalization.” If you have complex skin issues or are looking for highly customized treatments, this option might not offer enough tailored care. But for beginners in minimally invasive beauty procedures who just want basic maintenance while on vacation, Lizon’s cost-per-treatment is indeed quite attractive.
Focus Point 1 | The prime location just 1-2 minutes from Seomyeon Station
Seongwon Medical Building is located right in the heart of the Seomyeon shopping district, just a 1–2 minute walk from the exit of Seomyeon Station on Subway Line 2. There are cafes and convenience stores downstairs, so you can head straight to the Seomyeon underground mall or surrounding shops right after your facial treatment. It’s extremely convenient for tourists. The clinic is open only until 16:00 on Saturdays, so it’s recommended to make an appointment during the morning hours.
Focus Point 2｜Dr. Jeong Yeon-jae’s Experience in Chain Operations
The current chief physician, Jeong Yeon-jae, used to be the director of the Hongdae branch of Lian Clinic and the Seomyeon branch of Ppeum Clinic. He is an active member of several medical associations, including the South Korea Society for Laser Dermatology and Hair Science, as well as the Korean Association for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and Laser Medicine. At Lizon, he conducts personal consultations, adopting a practical approach that avoids excessive sales pressure—a point that has been mentioned in numerous local reviews.
Focus Point 3｜Affordable Options with Transparent Price References
Lizon’s pricing is quite affordable among chain brands. The Water Glow treatment starts at 150,000 won, Shurink at 190,000 won, and Pico treatments at 280,000 won—making it easier for those with limited budgets or trying South Korea’s medical beauty services for the first time to get started. That said, keep in mind that these are reference prices listed on the platform; actual costs may vary depending on skin condition and the specific treatment plan, so not everyone will end up paying the lowest price.
Focus Point 4｜Appointments and Waiting Times
By focusing on affordable services, Lizon attracts a large number of customers, with wait times of 30–60 minutes common on weekends and during off-work hours. It’s recommended to book basic treatments 3–5 days in advance, while popular procedures like Thermage and HIFU should be scheduled 1–2 weeks ahead. The clinic is open only until 16:00 on Saturdays without any lunch break, and it is closed on Sundays and public holidays. Be sure to plan your visits carefully during weekend special promotions.
Focus Point 5｜Communication in the Local Language After the Procedure
Lizon offers Chinese-speaking support, allowing you to note your Chinese language preferences when making an appointment. Although the clinic director and nurses primarily communicate in Korean, they use translation apps along with illustrated health guides. Post-surgery instructions will be confirmed again in writing or via message, so it’s recommended to ask questions such as “how many days I should avoid makeup and alcohol” and “whether a follow-up visit is needed” before leaving.
Truth or Dare: Avoiding Traps
Lizon is ideal for those with a limited budget who want to experience South Korea’s chain Dermatology clinics without running into any pitfalls. It may not be the most premium or personalized option, but its convenient location, transparent pricing, and in-person consultations by the clinic director make it a safe choice for beginners in minimally invasive cosmetic treatments.
Two things to keep in mind: First, don’t expect chain clinics to offer highly customized solutions—they’re more like standardized “skin care fast-food shops,” where consistency is their strength. Second, online prices are only for reference; the final quote will definitely be adjusted based on your skin condition and the products used. Be sure to clarify everything before signing any agreement during your in-person consultation.
