Finally, this week I visited The First Medical Center located on the west side of Busan to share my real experience. This clinic is a hidden gem recommended by locals in Busan, and after experiencing it firsthand, there are indeed a few things I would like to mention in particular.

ion on the subway

🚇 Transportation Guide
The First Medical Center is located in Busan’s bustling Seomyeon area, making transportation very convenient:
- Subway: Take Busan Metro Line 1 or 2 to “Seomyeon Station” and exit from Exit 2. Walk for about 3 minutes.
- Buses: Multiple bus routes can take you to the Seomyeon area.
- Taxis: Just show the driver the Korean address “Seomyeon-ro”.
I recommend using Naver Maps; just type “The First Medical Center” to find the exact location.
🏥 Environment and Service Experience
The First location is on a certain floor of the building; clear signs can be seen right after coming out of the elevator. The waiting area is cozy and well-decorated, with free drinks and magazines available. Since it’s a reservation-based system, the flow of people is well-controlled, so there’s no sense of overcrowding.
Appointments for Chinese language translation services need to be made in advance; it is recommended to arrange them through WeChat or BeautsGO. The director is very friendly and will carefully assess your skin during the consultation, without pushing unnecessary treatments on you.
💉 Treatment Experience
This time, I tried the basic Hydrating Needle treatment. The overall process is as follows:
- Step 1: Fill in basic information and allergy history
- Step 2: Chinese-speaking consultant provides guidance during the consultation; the director evaluates your skin condition
- Step 3: Confirm the treatment plan and price
- Step 4: Receive the treatment (about 30 minutes)
- Step 5: Receive post-treatment instructions and the care package
The director is very skilled in performing the treatment and checks on my comfort throughout the process. After the treatment, she provided detailed care instructions and a recovery mask.
