Sold out in an instant upon opening! Busan The First Medical Aesthetics reservations: Director Kim Jun-hee’s overseas slots were snapped up as soon as they became available. If you don’t plan in advance, you’ll definitely not be able to get a reservation.

🔥 Just how difficult is it to get a reservation at Busan The First?

If you think that only clinics in Gangnam, Seoul are in such high demand that appointments need to be reserved in advance, you’re wrong 😤. There’s a dermatology clinic in Busan whose slots for overseas patients are always booked up within minutes of them becoming available—it’s Busan The First Specialized Dermatology (The First Dermatology).

Dean Kim Jun-hee (김준희) is undoubtedly as well-known in South Korea’s medical aesthetics industry as the top-notch deans in Gangnam 👨‍⚕️. He specializes in HIFU, radiofrequency treatments, and various injectable procedures, and is regarded by locals in Busan as the “pinnacle of the medical aesthetics field”. What’s most remarkable is that he only reserves a handful of spots each month for overseas patients, and these spots are usually filled up immediately upon the application window opening 🎫.

It took me nearly a whole month just to get a appointment this time. The frustrations I experienced along the way are too many to even describe in three days and three nights 😭. In this article, I’ve compiled a comprehensive guide to booking appointments, so you won’t have to go through the same hassle as I did.

👨‍⚕️ Why is President Kim Jun-hee such a sought-after figure in the medical aesthetics industry?

Director Kim Jun-hee’s expertise lies primarily in anti-aging treatments and minimally invasive injections, especially ultrasound and radiofrequency procedures. He has been practicing these techniques for over 15 years, boasting extensive experience 💯. Local residents in Busan always go to The First specifically because of him; some elderly ladies even make it a habit to schedule ultrasound treatments with him every year.

• ✅ Hi-Frequency Ultrasound (Ultraformer III) – Precise treatment results, ensuring the Apple Zone remains full and firm without sagging
• ✅ Thermage FLX – Treat your face and neck in one session for immediate firming results
• ✅ Rejuran + Juvelook injections – a dual approach to anti-aging with glow therapy
• ✅ Contour definition – Precise injection of Filler for a natural, natural-looking result without any artificial appearance.

What truly impresses people about Director Yin is his refusal to push unnecessary services 🙅. During a face-to-face consultation, he will clearly explain what procedures are necessary and will directly tell you if a certain treatment is not worth the cost. In an industry where upselling is common, such an approach is truly rare and commendable 💎.

⚠️ Important Notes for Reservations at Busan The First

1️⃣ Book in advance
It is recomm
ended to make reservations at least 3–4 weeks in advance. During the peak summer season (July–August) and during South Korea’s national holidays (Chuseok and New Year), it is advisable to book 6 weeks in advance 🗓️.

2️⃣ Photo Requirements
One photo o
f your face without any makeup, one from the front, and one from the side. Please do not use any filters 📸. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, remove them before taking the photos. Dr. Yin needs to see your actual eye shape and facial bone structure.

3️⃣ Price confirmation
The prices a
t The First are considered mid-to-high in Busan; they are more expensive than those at regular Dermatology clinics but cheaper than those in Gangnam. Make sure to clarify what services are included in the total cost during the consultation to avoid any additional fees before or after the procedure 💰.

4️⃣ Post-operative Follow-up Appointment

If you are only on a short-term trip, it may be difficult to attend a post-operative follow-up appointment. It is recommended to confirm with the clinic how remote monitoring can be carried out (such as sending photos) 📸.

🏥 Busan The First: Procedure on the day of the initial consultation

The First is located near Haeundae in Busan. It only takes about 10 minutes to get there from Haeundae Subway Station 🚶‍♀️. The exterior of the clinic features a modern white design that exudes quality and sophistication.

1. 📝 Please fill out the consultation form (available in English).
2. 📸 Professional photographers take facial photos.
3. 🔬 Skin analysis by specialized instruments
4. 👨‍⚕️ Director Kim Jun-hee provides one-on-one consultations (lasting approximately 30 minutes).
5. 💰 Nurse quotes + Confirmation of treatment plan

Director Yin is extremely meticulous during consultations; he will gently press your face with his fingers to assess the bone structure and skin elasticity 👆. When I underwent the treatment back then, it was Hafu ultrasound therapy. He recommended that I receive 300 sessions specifically targeting the Apple Zone and the jawline, rather than distributing the treatments across the entire face – this precise approach is what truly distinguishes a great director from a mass-produced clinic ✨.

✈️ Suggestions for Planning a Medical Aesthetics Trip to Busan

Many people ask me, “How should I schedule my trip to Busan for medical beauty treatments?” I usually recommend staying for at least 3 days and 2 nights 🗓️.

• Day 1: Arrive in Busan → Consultation with a doctor → If the procedure can be performed on the same day, proceed with it.
• Day 2: Rest after the surgery + light sightseeing (a walk along Haeundae Beach 🌊)
• Day 3: Follow-up appointment → Shopping (Seomyeon, Nampo-dong 🛍️) → Return trip

💡 Gimhae Airport offers direct flights to Taiwan operated by low-cost airlines such as Busan Air and T’way Air. There are often promotional tickets available for round-trip flights at prices ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 Taiwanese dollars ✈️. When combined with The First’s fares, which are 15–20% cheaper than those of Gangnam, the total cost of this journey is significantly lower than traveling to Seoul!
