Start with your goals, not the menu

Many visitors to Busan want to fit a few skin treatments into their holiday. Three treatments is a realistic number for a short trip, but the best way to budget is to begin with what you want to improve. Are you hoping for brighter skin, smoother texture, a slimmer jawline, or a firmer face? Once you know your priorities, it becomes much easier to choose treatments that work together and to estimate the cost.


A sensible approach is to pick one main concern and support it with one or two lighter treatments. For example, a lifting device paired with a skin booster and a small Botox area tends to be easier to schedule and recover from than three intensive procedures at once. Setting a total budget range before you contact a clinic also makes the consultation more focused.


It also helps to think about your travel plans. A beach day, a long flight or a wedding the following week all affect which treatments make sense and in what order. A doctor can help you plan around these at consultation.


Example three-treatment combinations and their listed prices

Below are some example combinations using first-visit prices from the Daybeau Clinic Seomyeon price list. All prices are in KRW, VAT excluded (10% VAT is added at payment), checked October 2026. These are examples for budgeting only; your doctor will confirm what is suitable for you.


Light refresh with minimal downtime

  • Water Glow 2cc skin booster. 39,000
  • Wrinkle Botox, Korean toxin, 1 area. 3,000


Listed subtotal 51,900, or 57,090 with VAT.

  • InMode FX full face. 45,000

Listed subtotal 1,132,000, or 1,245,200 with VAT.


Costs to add to your budget

The listed price is the main cost, but leave some room for the following:


  • VAT. Add 10% to the total of listed prices.
  • Separately charged items. Potenza tips are charged separately, and laser hair removal numbing spray is ₩5,000 per session.
  • Treatments quoted after consultation. If you are considering fillers, thread lifts, Juvelook, Sculptra or Thermage FLX, the price depends on the amount of product or plan and is quoted in person.
  • Aftercare products. Sunscreen and a gentle moisturiser are useful after most treatments. You may already have these with you.
  • Transport and time. Seomyeon is central and easy to reach by subway, but allow time for consultation and recovery.


Planning the timing on a short trip

Several treatments can often be done on the same day, which suits travellers. However, some combinations are better spread out, and the doctor may recommend a particular order. A few general points:


  • Schedule treatments early in your trip. This gives time for any redness, swelling or bruising to settle before you fly home.
  • Plan sun exposure carefully. After lasers and peels, your skin can be more sensitive. Use sunscreen and avoid long beach days immediately afterwards.
  • Be honest about upcoming events. If you have photos or a special occasion soon after, tell the doctor so they can suggest lower-downtime options.
  • Allow for injection effects to appear. Botox takes some days to show its effect, so results may become visible after you have left Korea.


Results and suitability vary between individuals, and the final plan is always decided by a doctor after consultation. For an overview of what is available, see our page on non-surgical aesthetic treatments in Busan.


Frequently asked questions

Can I do three treatments in one visit?

Often yes, depending on the treatments and your skin. The doctor will confirm which combinations are suitable and whether any should be done on separate days.


Do first-visit prices apply to all three treatments?

First-visit prices apply once per new patient per item, so each different listed item can be at its first-visit price on your first time receiving it.


When do I pay?

Payment is made at the clinic on the day of treatment, after the consultation confirms your plan. VAT of 10% is added at that time.


What if the doctor suggests something different?

The doctor may suggest a different option if it suits your goals or skin better. You will be told the price before treatment and can decide freely.
