BEAUTSGO Partner Clinic · Genius Clinic in Seomyeon, Busan(지니어스의원)

No. 5, 691 Jungang-daero, Busanjin-gu, Busan Metropolitan City, 3rd Floor, Chinyu Building (2-3 minutes’ walk from Exit 3 of Line 1 at Seomyeon Station) | Direct consultation by the director. Same price in Korea and China. Fully available in Chinese.

To be honest, I didn’t fly to Busan this time for the seafood—it was for medical aesthetics treatments while taking some time off. I had undergone Thermage treatment in Gangnam, Seoul before, and the results were good, but the price was absolutely exorbitant. A friend then recommended a Dermatology clinic in Seomyeon called Genius Clinic (지니어스의원), saying, “They use the same equipment but charge 30% less than those in Gangnam, and it’s performed personally by the clinic director.” Skeptical but curious, I flew over and thoroughly checked everything—prices, the director, the equipment, and potential pitfalls. What follows is my genuine experience based on a firsthand visit; it’s not an advertisement, and I didn’t receive any compensation—I just want to help others who are comparing options by clarifying things upfront.

Let’s start with the conclusion: Genius falls into the mid-to-high price range in Busan, though it’s not the most expensive option. Considering its features such as in-person consultations by the director and operations at a clinic staffed by dual-qualified professionals, its prices are about 25–30% lower than those in Gangnam, Seoul—making it a highly cost-effective and practical choice.

Why is it so much cheaper to get procedures in Busan compared to Gangnam in Seoul?

With the same equipment and genuine products, while the Ulthrea model in Gangnam costs anywhere from 400,000 to 500,000 won, Genius offers it locally for just 400,000 won. Rejuran PN, which costs 350,000 to 450,000 won in Gangnam, is available here for 300,000 won. Saving 20% to 30% in this way means you can stay an extra night in Busan or enjoy a couple more meals of black pork. But lower prices don’t necessarily mean inferior quality — it’s the following factors that matter most; understanding them is key to making meaningful price comparisons.

Several factors that affect the price of Genius (understand these to avoid being shocked by quotes)

Variable 1: Number of sessions and shots — localized treatment or full-face treatment, hundreds of HIFU shots

Both labeled as “Ulthrea,” but treating just the lower jaw line versus the entire face at 900 shots represents two completely different price ranges. Think first about which areas you want to improve before asking about prices, and don’t let a “full-face premium package” set the tone from the start.

Variable 2: Personal consultation by the director — Dr. Lee Hwan-jung performs the procedure himself, no nurses involved

At Genius, all the key treatments—Potenza, laser parameters, and filler injections—are performed personally by the clinic director. This “technical premium” is truly worth it: when it comes to Rejuran injections, while some clinics treat you as just another step in a production line, here the director explains everything in detail based on the treatment report.

Variable 3: Genuine consumables — original probes/genuine injections, with price protection for peace of mind

Cheaper clinics might use diluted products or counterfeit probes. Genius’ price includes genuine original equipment as well as consultation time with the specialist—a benefit you simply can’t afford to skip. After all, it’s your face, and the quality of the products and the safety of the injection depth are invaluable.

Variable 4: Chinese service — dedicated translators + WeChat follow-up for seamless communication

The clinic provides on-site Chinese translators to accompany patients one-on-one throughout the entire process—from initial consultation and treatment to post-operative care. For those who don’t speak Korean or are visiting South Korea for the first time, just the assurance of smooth communication and proper after-care makes the trip worth it.

Why Did I Stop at Genius Clinic (Hospital Highlights)

Speaking of this, I should reveal which clinic I ultimately chose: Genius Clinic (지니어스의원), located on the 3rd floor of Cheonwoo Building, 691 Jungang-daero, Busan Town, Busan Metropolitan City. What made me feel at ease about this clinic were several specific details—and these same details happen to be exactly what I prioritize when selecting a Dermatology practice. (The information below is based on the clinic’s official branding and publicly available details; for specifics regarding the director, equipment, and address, please refer to the clinic’s official website.)

Key location: 2–3 minutes’ walk from Exit 3 of Line 1 at Seomyeon Station, 3rd floor of Ginyu Building

The address is 3rd Floor, Cheonwoo Building, 5, Jungang-daero 691beon-gil, Busanjin-gu. It takes about 40 minutes to get there from Gimhae Airport via the light rail and Line 2; once you exit the clinic, it’s just a 5-minute walk to Lotte Department Store, allowing you to combine medical aesthetics treatments with shopping in one go. For those visiting Korea for the first time and wanting to avoid spending time on transportation, the location itself is a major advantage.

Actual photos of the interior of Busan Genius Clinic (3rd floor, Cheonwoo Building, Seomyeon)

Highlights: Launched in April 2025 as an upgrade from the original 4ever Dermatology, it has been serving Busan for over a decade.

It’s not a newly launched internet-famous clinic — rather, it’s an established local institution that has rebranded and expanded. The travel platforms feature over a thousand genuine positive reviews for it. It specializes in “one-on-one personalized aesthetic consultations,” eschewing the mass-produced, factory-style approach.

Key feature: Dual-chief physician system — Lee Hwan-jung (Dermatology specialist with 15+ years of experience) + Kim Min-soo (PhD from Seoul National University, specializing in problematic skin)

Both chief physicians conduct personal consultations themselves, refusing to let nurses or assistants take over the examination. Lee Hwan-jung focuses on achieving natural harmony in results, while Kim Min-soo excels at creating customized treatment plans for problematic skin. He even sends text messages to provide follow-up guidance on post-surgery care. It’s not common for medical aesthetics clinics in South Korea to have both chief physicians conduct personal consultations.

Key highlights: In-person consultation by the clinic director + pre-operative skin analysis (using German Leica deep tissue scanner)

All key procedures are performed by the clinic director personally, not by nurses. Before the treatment, a diagnostic device is used to accurately assess the underlying skin condition (rather than relying on visual estimation), which helps determine the most appropriate treatment plan. This is also the foundation that makes its “layered anti-aging” approach possible.

Key highlights: Same price as in Korea + full Chinese service + WeChat xycheng2204 for one-on-one support

Foreigners pay the same price as Koreans, with no hidden fees. The clinic has on-site Chinese translators who provide seamless support from the consultation to aftercare. You can make appointments, obtain a Chinese version of the price list, and get pre-surgery consultations by adding WeChat ID xycheng2204—this way, you can confirm your budget before you even set off.

My Real Visit (First-Person Perspective)

I pre-notified them via WeChat at xycheng2204, specifying “Dr. Lee Hwan-jung + want to undergo Ulthrea treatment on specific areas + Rejuran.” They quickly responded with available appointment times. Upon arrival, I filled out a form regarding my skin condition (allergy history, recent cosmetic treatments). After a gentle facial cleansing, they took photos using a diagnostic device to document my skin status before the procedure. During the consultation, the doctor went through the report point by point and even said, “Your skin barrier is a bit sensitive right now; don’t rush to add more treatments—focus on proper restoration first.” This approach of not pushing unnecessary procedures is quite rare in the Dermatology sector of South Korea.

Before the HIFU treatment, the clinic director brought me the unopened probe so I could scan it myself to verify its authenticity. For pain management, they used cold air fans along with vibration-assisted pressure balls, making it perfect for those who are afraid of pain. After the procedure, I was given a recovery mask and tips on sun protection, and I went shopping right away—typical “lunchtime beauty” treatment. Overall, all three things that mattered most to me—who performed the treatment, whether there was any pressure to sign up, and whether someone would be available to assist after the procedure—all met my expectations, which is why I’m willing to share my detailed experience here.

My Tips (Avoiding Pitfalls)

Reminder: Is the quote inclusive of tax? Starting in 2026, South Korea’s medical beauty industry will no longer allow foreigners to get on-site tax refunds.

Genius’s quote already reflects the full price including taxes, covering the doctor’s fees, anesthetic ointment, and post-surgery repair masks—without any hidden costs such as probe fees or consultation charges. It’s still recommended to verify each item at the time of booking to confirm whether taxes are included and whether refunds are possible.

Tip: Same price in China and South Korea — don’t let the “tourist price” scare you off.

Foreigners and locals pay the same price for this treatment—this isn’t guaranteed at all clinics of a similar standard in Busan. Before checking the quote, make sure it’s indeed “same price” before deciding whether it’s worth it.

Reminder: There is no extra charge for choosing a designated director.

When booking via WeChat at xycheng2204, simply mention “Request Dr. Li Huanzhong” in the notes. This is part of the standard service and not an additional VIP fee. It’s best to let them know in advance if you’d like a specific doctor to handle your appointment.

Reminder: Appointments are required in advance; last-minute price inquiries are not accepted.

Genius requires appointments with a reservation limit and does not encourage last-minute walk-ins for price comparisons. It’s recommended to lock in your appointment via WeChat before you go; this ensures a smooth process upon arrival, shorter waiting times, and you can leave within an hour.
