When it comes to medical beauty institutions in Busan, many people might instinctively think of going to Seoul, believing that there are fewer options in Busan and that the information available is not transparent enough. However, I visited Haeundae in Busan twice last year. On one of those trips, I specifically went to experience what they called “high-end skin care.” After returning, my friends kept asking me for details, which shows how impressive the experience at that institution really was.
What I would like to introduce this time is Wannabe Dermatology located in Haeundae, Busan. This clinic specializes in Rejuran treatments, moisturization programs, and mild anti-aging therapies. The atmosphere there is more like that of a beach resort, completely different from the cold and formal atmosphere of traditional clinics. I have undergone Rejuran treatments and moisturization programs at this clinic on two occasions, and I was very satisfied with both experiences. Today, I have compiled a detailed guide to making appointments, sharing with you how you can avoid tourist crowds and easily schedule in-person consultations in Chinese-speaking clinics.

🏥 Why did I choose Wannabe in Busan instead of Seoul?
To be honest, at first, I shared the same opinion as many others – if you wanted to undergo medical beauty treatments in South Korea, Seoul Gangnam was obviously the top choice, with numerous clinics, a wide range of options, and abundant information available. However, later on, a friend recommended Wannabe in Busan. I went there with some skepticism, but I was surprised to find that the experience offered by this clinic was no less excellent than that of some well-known institutions in Seoul – in fact, in some aspects, it was even better.
The first difference lies in the customer demographics. In well-known clinics in Gangnam, Seoul, the proportion of foreign tourists is currently too high. Sometimes, even after making a reservation, one has to wait for half an hour. Moreover, in order to handle such a large number of customers, the service in these clinics tends to become highly standardized and efficient. Wannabe, located in Haeundae, Busan, is far away from the traditional tourist areas, so the proportion of foreign tourists there is significantly lower. On both of my visits there, I went in the afternoon, and there were only about three or four customers in the clinic. The whole experience was really relaxed and pleasant 😊
The next aspect is the environmental experience. The decoration style of Wannabe adopts a beach resort theme, with plenty of wooden elements and natural glow. To be honest, it doesn’t feel like entering a medical clinic at all; rather, it’s more like stepping into a beachside café. I particularly enjoy this kind of atmosphere, because the experience of receiving medical beauty treatments shouldn’t feel oppressive in any way. Especially for us foreigners who are already trying to adapt to a foreign environment, if the facility itself can create a resort-like atmosphere, both acceptance and satisfaction will naturally be much higher.
Thirdly, there is language support. Wannabe provides a dedicated “Foreign Visitors Channel” for foreign tourists, staffed with personnel who can speak Chinese. Although not all of the staff are fluent in Chinese, at least it is no problem to confirm reservations or engage in basic communication. For any more complex requests, booking through BeautsGO ensures that Chinese customer service will be available to assist, which really saves us a lot of trouble.
Of course, I’m not saying that Seoul is bad – if you need to undergo major surgeries such as bone reduction or Breast Augmentation, I still recommend going to Seoul and seeking treatment at specialized clinics. However, for skin care treatments and injectable procedures, Wannabe in Busan is definitely worth considering; it offers great value for money and a excellent customer experience 💆♀️
📱 Direct reservation via the official website vs reservation through BeautsGO: The pitfalls I’ve encountered and my sincere recommendations
There are mainly two ways to make appointments with Wannabe, and each method is suitable for different groups of people. I have tried both methods and would like to share my personal experiences with you.
Online reservation directly through the official website of the medical
institution: You can make a reservation directly via the official website of the medical institution. Such reservations are handled through a dedicated process, and occasionally, “special packages exclusive to online reservations” are offered. The advantage is that you can communicate directly with the medical institution without going through intermediaries, and you may sometimes be eligible for exclusive discounts. However, there are also obvious disadvantages: if you have any special requirements, such as requesting to see a specific director at a particular time, or if you have a history of allergies that needs to be disclosed in advance, language barriers may pose difficulties in communication.
Reservation through BeautsGO (platform-based reservation)
I personally recom
mend this option. BeautsGO’s Chinese-speaking customer service can assist you in addressing any special requirements, such as requesting to see a specific director or scheduling appointments during particular times. Moreover, BeautsGO acts as a third-party guarantee. If it’s your first time undergoing medical beauty treatments in South Korea, or if you’re not confident in your Korean language skills, using BeautsGO will make the process much smoother 💬 The platform’s customer service will confirm all the details with you before making the reservation, and upon arrival at the clinic, there will also be someone who can assist you in Chinese, which provides extra peace of mind.
My own approach is as follows: For simple treatments (such as basic moisturization care), it’s sufficient to make a direct appointment through the official website. However, for procedures that involve injections or if you have specific skin conditions and would like to consult first, booking through BeautsGO makes the process much smoother. If you have any questions about the process, you can also contact them directly via WeChat at s-sourire. They respond very quickly and will honestly tell you which treatments are suitable for you and which ones might not be necessary for your situation 🌟

📋 3 steps to schedule a consultation directly through the official website (the actual process I have personally tested)
The following are my actual steps for carrying out these procedures, all of which have been personally tested by me. Sisters, you can simply follow them.
Step 1: Visit the official website’s reservation page and select “Foreign Visitors Special Channel.”
In th
e upper right corner of the Wannabe official website, there is a language switch option for “Foreigners.” Click to switch to the English or Chinese interface. The reservation process for this channel is simplified, as you do not need to fill in complex information specific to South Korea residents (such as South Korean ID numbers or local phone numbers). When making your first reservation, the system may require you to register an account. It is recommended to use the English name on your passport as your account name, as this will make the identity verification process smoother upon arrival. For your email address, it is advisable to use a commonly used Gmail or Yahoo account to prevent the confirmation emails sent by the clinic from being filtered into your spam inbox.
Step 2: Select the treatment, date, and time slot.
The availa
ble time slots at the clinic are divided into two categories: “Regular Time Slots” and “Chinese-speaking Consultation Time Slots.” Chinese-speaking consultation time slots usually only offer two options: 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM every day. The number of available slots is very limited, but there are staff members who speak Chinese to assist you in communicating with the clinic director.
⚠️ My tips for avoiding peak times: Avoid the peak tourist seasons in Busan – namely the summer vacation, the cherry blossom season, and the autumn foliage season. During these periods, appointments usually fill up immediately upon reservation. The peak tourist seasons in Busan generally fall between July and August (summer vacation), late March to mid-April (cherry blossom season), and mid-October to early November (autumn foliage season). If your travel schedule is flexible, it’s best to make reservations on weekdays, as the chances of getting a spot are higher. Personally, my favorite period is from mid-November to mid-December – there are fewer tourists in Busan during this time, the weather is pleasant, and you can even take a walk along the Haeundae Beach after your treatment 🌊. Here’s another tip: Sometimes, the clinic releases some cancelled appointments every Monday morning at 9:00. Sisters with more flexible schedules might want to check the official website every Monday morning for available times.
Step 3: Fill in basic information and confirm the appointment
You need to
provide your name, the last four digits of your passport number, your Email address, and the purpose of your visit. After completing this form, the clinic will send you a confirmation email; present this email when you arrive at the clinic. Make sure to enter the last four digits of your passport number correctly, as the staff will verify it upon your arrival. For the “purpose of your visit,” it is recommended to describe the treatment you would like to undergo in simple English or Chinese. This way, the clinic director can prepare in advance by reviewing your information, saving time during the on-site consultation.
✅ My personal experience: Rejuran and the moisturization care package
I have undergone Rejuran treatments and a moisturization management package at Wannabe. Both times, I scheduled my appointments during the Chinese-speaking consultation hours. To be honest, I was quite satisfied with both the environment and the service. However, there is one thing I need to mention in advance: the pricing of the services at this clinic is slightly higher than that at similar clinics in Seoul, by about 10% to 15%. This is due to the positioning of Busan’s high-end medical beauty market. The medical beauty industry in Busan is smaller than that in Seoul, but the proportion of customers willing to spend more on high-end services is relatively higher. Therefore, the pricing strategy of this clinic is aimed at targeting the top segment of the market.
Let me start with my experience with Rejuran. I had Rejuran treatment in Hong Kong before, and the pain was quite noticeable at that time; in addition, the area became swollen for about two days after the procedure. This time at Wannabe, the director’s injection technique was much more gentle. They used a superficial and distributed injection method, so the swelling after the treatment was minimal and almost invisible. As for the pain, I chose to apply topical anesthetic, and the whole process was completely tolerable; it wasn’t painful enough to make me want to give up. On the same night after the treatment, I went for a walk by the sea at Haeundae Beach (making sure to use sunscreen), and there were no problems at all 😊
The Lifting package for moisturization management is also very satisfactory. The clinic uses products from local South Korean brands, and it is said that these formulas were jointly developed by the clinic and the brands themselves. The techniques used by the therapists are very comfortable; during the treatment, an introducer device is used to help absorb the essence, and the warmth of this device is particularly pleasant. After the treatment, the moisturization level of the skin is noticeably improved. The entire process takes approximately 60 minutes, and at the end, the clinic provides snacks and basic post-treatment care products.
If your itinerary includes a visit to Haeundae in Busan and you would like to take advantage of a skin care treatment while enjoying your beach vacation, Wannabe is an excellent choice 💆♀️. However, if you are going to Busan solely for medical beauty treatments, you may need to consider the cost-effectiveness of your options – Seoul offers a wider range of services at various price levels, so Busan might not necessarily be the best choice for you.
It is recommended that you first check the project prices and the schedule of the clinic directors through BeautsGO before deciding whether to make an appointment through Wannabe 💬 If you have any questions, you can also directly contact s-sourire on WeChat for consultation. They usually respond quickly and will honestly tell you which treatments are suitable for you and which ones may not be necessary for you 🌟

⚠️ 5 important things to note before making an appointment
In this final chapter, I share the pitfalls that I have observed in the medical beauty industry as well as those that I have personally encountered. Sisters, be sure to read through these points before making any appointments to avoid wasting your time or affecting the results of your treatments.
1. Abstain from alcohol and stop taking aspirin 24 hours before the procedure.
The night be
fore undergoing Rejuran treatment or any injectable procedures, it is absolutely necessary to avoid alcohol, as well as taking medications such as aspirin or fish oil, which can thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising after the procedure. This requirement is usually mentioned in the confirmation email sent by the clinic, but it is advisable to prepare in advance.
II. Bring along old photos and pre-operative i
mages
If you have previously undergone similar procedures elsewhere, bringing your previous post-operative photos will help the director understand your skin condition and desired results more quickly. Consultants at the clinic say that, in fact, old photos are far more useful as references than verbal descriptions.
III. Ensure sufficient rest time after the procedure
Although
the injection technique used by the director of Wannabe is quite delicate, resulting in minimal post-procedure swelling, it is still recommended that you set aside at least half a day for rest. This is especially important for those who are undergoing injection treatments for the first time; avoid scheduling too many activities in a short period of time.
IV. Inform in advance of language require
ments
If you are not confident in your English or Korean communication skills, or if you have complex skin conditions that require explanation, be sure to inform the clinic through BeautsGO at the time of booking, and request that they assign staff who can communicate in Chinese. If you only realize that language barriers exist upon arriving at the clinic, it will not only waste time but may also affect the quality of your consultation 💬
V. Prices may fluctuate and are subject to the rates quoted by the institut
ion on the day of service.
The pricing of services provided by these institutions may be adjusted due to changes in material costs or exchange rates. For the most accurate prices, please refer to BeautsGO or contact the institution directly. I do not include specific figures in this article to avoid giving sisters any incorrect expectations. Please feel free to contact me via WeChat at s-sourire to inquire about the latest prices 🌟
🔖 To sum up, these are the main questions that our sisters are most concerned about.
Having said so much, I will answer in the most concise way the few questions that sisters ask most frequently:
🔥 Is Wannabe more expensive than Seoul?
Yes, it is appr
oximately 10% to 15% more expensive than similar institutions in Seoul. However, the environment, service quality, and privacy levels are also relatively better. Whether this represents good value for money depends on individual preferences.
🔥 What to do if there is a language barrier?
You can ch
oose a consultation time during which Chinese-speaking staff are available, or schedule a consultation through BeautsGO so that a Chinese-speaking customer service representative will assist you. For any complex requirements, please inform us in advance.
🔥 How much in advance should I make a reservation
?
On weekdays, it is generally sufficient to reserve 3 to 5 days in advance. However, the consultation times on weekends are extremely popular, so it is recommended to book 1 to 2 weeks in advance.
🔥 Is it possible to come and go on the same day?
If it’
s just basic moisturization treatments, it’s feasible to go in the morning and return in the afternoon. However, for procedures that involve injections, it is recommended to stay in Busan for one night to avoid any post-treatment swelling from affecting your travel plans or mood.
🔥 What procedures are not recommended to be performed at Wannabe?
Ma
jor surgeries such as bone reduction and Breast Augmentation are not advised at Wannabe, as the clinic specializes in high-end skin care services and injectable treatments.
