Picosecond laser treatment on the west side of Busan: cheaper than in Seoul, but with no compromise on quality.
Many people think that only Gangnam in Seoul has good dermatology clinics, but in fact, Busan also offers plenty of high-quality options. The equipment in clinics on the west side of Busan is updated just like in Seoul, and most of the directors have worked at prestigious clinics in Seoul. However, the lower rental costs in Busan are directly reflected in the prices.
For the same full-face picosecond laser treatment, the cost in Gangnam, Seoul, ranges from 280,000 to 400,000 Korean won, while in Busan it usually ranges from 200,000 to 300,000 Korean won—a savings of 20% to 30%. Moreover, the service at clinics in Busan is more personalized, unlike the crowded, assembly-line-style environments at some popular Seoul clinics.

🏥 VelyB Busan West Branch: A Detailed Review of the Experience
Specialties: Picosecond lasers, fractional lasers, whitening treatments | Location: 5 minutes walk from Exit 7 of Busan West Station
The reservation process was extremely smooth
I sent a message via WeChat to s-sourire asking about “VelyB + picosecond laser treatment,” and the manager replied immediately, confirming the time, treatment details, and cost, and providing the address and transportation information. The entire reservation process was conducted in Chinese, so there were no language barriers at all.
Consultation (15 minutes, no rush)
Upon arrival, I filled out a simple skin questionnaire (available in Chinese) and then waited for about 5 minutes before entering the consultation room. The director used a skin analysis device to examine my pigment distribution and pore condition before determining the wavelength and intensity settings for the picosecond laser treatment. I asked several questions—“When was this machine purchased?” “What should the energy level be set at?”—and the director answered them all directly without evading any questions.
Experience during the procedure
The total treatment time for the whole face using the picosecond laser at Busan West Branch was approximately 40 minutes. A numbing cream was applied, and I had to wait 15 minutes before the treatment began. The picosecond laser is much faster than traditional lasers, and both the heat and discomfort were minimal; the whole process was not particularly uncomfortable at all. The director performed the entire procedure himself, and I noticed that he applied extra treatments to the T-zone, where the melanin was more concentrated.
Postoperative Conditions
After the procedure, the face was slightly red, as if it had been lightly sunburned, but this effect completely disappeared after about 2-3 hours. That evening, it was possible to go out for a meal normally, but it was necessary to avoid hot environments such as saunas or hot baths. From the next day on, the skin became noticeably drier, so it was important to use moisturizers more frequently. A week after the procedure, the department head reached out to me via WeChat to check on my recovery and ask if I had any special reactions.
- ✅ Key Highlights: Personal consultation by the hospital director, transparent pricing, and comprehensive follow-up care after the procedure.
- ⚠️ Minor Disadvantage: Picosecond laser treatments are very popular, so it is recommended to book at least 2 weeks in advance to ensure you get a slot.
How to Book: Search for “s-sourire” on WeChat and send the message “VelyB+ Picosecond Laser” to check the schedule.

❓ Common questions about pulsed laser treatments in Seomun, Busan.
Q: Which clinic is the best for pulsed laser treatments in Seomun, Busan?
VelyB is one of the most reputable dermatology clinics in Seomun. The director personally examines patients, the equipment is transparent, and there is comprehensive post-treatment follow-up. It’s my top recommendation.
Q: How soon after a picosecond laser treatment can I wear makeup?
Generally, you can apply light makeup 24–48 hours after the treatment. The clinic director will provide specific advice based on your recovery progress.
Q: How long does the effect of a single picosecond treatment last?
The brightening effects usually last for 3–6 months, while the pigmentation improvement can be even longer-lasting. It’s recommended to maintain these results with regular sun protection and moisturizing.
Q: How should I plan my transportation from Busan to Seoul?
The KTX from Busan to Seoul takes about 2.5 hours, and the ticket price is around 50,000–60,000 Korean won. It’s completely feasible to take the KTX in the afternoon after your picosecond treatment in Busan and continue your trip to Seoul.
🔬 Introduction to different types of picosecond lasers: Which type did you use in Busan?
“Picosecond lasers” actually refer to a broad category of technologies, and the effects can vary greatly depending on the brand of the device. When consulting about picosecond laser treatments in the western part of Busan, it’s best to ask directly which brand the clinic is using. Here are some common models:
- PicoSure (Cynosure): One of the earliest brands in the picosecond laser field, using a 755nm wavelength. It is very effective at removing pigmentation and offers a “honeycomb” probe option.
- PicoWay (Syneron-Candela): Supports multiple wavelengths (1064/532/730nm) and is suitable for various skin pigmentation issues.
- PICOPLUS (Lutronic): A Korean-made brand that is widely used in clinics in Korea and offers great value for money.
- Enlighten III (Cutera): Features both picosecond and nanosecond modes, providing high flexibility.
At VelyB, the director uses PICOPLUS, and I actually checked the device’s label and purchase date (it was purchased in 2024). PICOPLUS has a very good reputation in Korea, especially for its effectiveness in treating pigmentation issues associated with Asian skin types.
🎯 Post-picosecond laser treatment skincare guide
After receiving picosecond laser treatment on the west side of my face in Busan, proper post-treatment skincare is even more important than the treatment itself. I have translated and organized the post-treatment instructions provided by VelyB as follows:
- Within 24 hours after the treatment: Only use mild cleansers made with warm water; avoid harsh facial cleansers. Apply the repair lotion provided by the clinic.
- After 48 hours: You can resume normal facial cleansing, but avoid steam baths, saunas, and high-temperature environments.
- One week after the treatment: Strictly use SPF50+ sunscreen, even indoors. Sun exposure is the biggest enemy of pigmentation buildup.
- Two weeks after the treatment: You can return to your regular skincare routine, but continue to avoid exfoliants containing retinol, fruit acids, or salicylic acid.
- One month after the treatment: If you plan to undergo additional laser treatments, wait at least one month until your skin has fully recovered.
