How do I make an appointment for my first cosmetic procedure at Wannabe Clinic in Busan’s Wannabe Hospital? The whole process—from booking to the consultation and final treatment—can be done without even speaking Korean.

To be honest, when I first thought about getting medical beauty treatments in South Korea, what scared me the most wasn’t the pain—it was the very act of “making an appointment.” There were language barriers, websites filled with Korean text, and even when I called, the staff couldn’t understand me. This time I went to Busan just for shopping and eating seafood, but I was recommended a Dermatology clinic hidden in the Centum City area of Haeundae through a travel group: Wannabe Clinic in Busan (워너비의원). With the mindset of giving it a try on my way there, I went through the entire appointment process. I want to share this real-life experience in detail as a reference for those who are also afraid of dealing with the hassle.

I. Why did I ultimately choose Wannabe Dermatology in Busan?

I noticed Wannabe because someone in the group said, “Director Park Hee-jeong performs the injections herself—she never delegates them to nurses.” I’ve had bad experiences elsewhere before—just a five-minute consultation, with the room supervisor doing the injection, leaving no chance to talk to the doctor at all. Wannabe’s policy is that “micro-plastic surgery injections are done personally by the director,” and during the consultation, they first ask about your daily routine, stress levels, and past acid treatment history before formulating a plan—no one-size-fits-all approach. For someone like me whose facial conditions are a bit complex, this is incredibly important.

Another major advantage is its location. It’s situated on the 7th floor of Centum Imperial Tower, with Centum Department Store and Lotte right downstairs. After your treatment, you can head downstairs to enjoy a coffee or browse shops—perfect for those who want to look better while on vacation. It’s truly a paradise-like setup.

II. Who is the Wannabe Dermatology in Busan suitable for? Who should consider visiting this clinic? (Check the boxes that apply)

Not every clinic is right for everyone. I’ll break down what makes Wannabe stand out, helping you quickly decide whether it should be on your list or not.

✅ Perfect for these types of people

• First-time visitors to Seoulcheil for medical aesthetics who are worried about language barriers: The clinic offers doctors available for appointments in Chinese, and BeautsGO provides full Chinese support throughout the process, so you don’t need to speak Korean at all.
• Those seeking a “natural and subtle” look: Director Park Hee-jeong’s style is one where “you can’t tell exactly what was done, but the overall appearance looks smoother,” avoiding the look of a “internet celebrity face.”
• Those on a tight budget who want to avoid the high prices in Seoul: Busan offers lower rental costs, which translates into more affordable prices, with basic procedures starting at 50,000 KRW.
• Those planning a trip to Busan and wanting to look better: Located in the Centum City shopping district, you can go shopping and enjoy the sea breeze right after your treatment.
• Those who value in-person consultations by the director: Micro-needle injections are performed personally by the director, not delegated to nurses.

🤔 It works too

• Basic to mid-level skincare needs such as acne scars, Pores, and early signs of aging (Pico, hyaluronic acid treatments, InMode, Potenza).
• Those who want to undergo a combined treatment plan at once and are looking for the best cost-per-result (such as the Potenza + Juvelook + Exosome package).

⚠️ May not be suitable

Those who need major cosmetic surgeries such as bone reduction or Breast Augmentation (Wannabe specializes in minor Dermatology procedures and skincare treatments, not plastic surgery); people who can only schedule appointments on weekends and cannot book in advance, or those who are reluctant to wait long (afternoons on weekends are the peak times); and those who prefer clinics with multiple locations and a consistent design style.

III. How should I do my research before going for medical beauty treatments in South Korea? BeautsGO recommends checking out the basics first.

Before making my decision, I first checked out Wannabe’s information on BeautsGO: I could see the director’s profile, pricing for various treatments, customer reviews, and it even had a Chinese interface. What’s most important is that the prices listed on the platform are updated monthly by the partner hospitals—prices are the same in both Korea and China, with no hidden fees. So I already had an idea of how much it would cost before I left, and I wouldn’t get caught off guard by any “foreigner surcharges” once I got there.

I made my appointment through BeautsGO back then. The customer service helped me translate all the questions I wanted to ask in advance (mainly regarding the nasal base and acne scars), and a translator was with me throughout my visit. From the consultation to the procedure, the whole process went much smoother than I had sang sang.

IV. Hands-on Experience: The Booking Process at Busan Wannabe Dermatology – From Placement to Arrival at the Clinic

Let me lay out my timeline to give everyone a realistic reference:

1. 2 weeks before departure: Select “Busan Wannabe Dermatology” on BeautsGO, click to schedule an in-person consultation, and note your main concerns (sunken nasal base + acne scars on the chin).
2. Within 1 day: The Chinese customer service will get back to you to confirm the available time slots for Friday evenings (the period from 17:00–21:00 is the most popular, so it’s recommended to book in advance), and send over the Korean address along with important notes.
3. On the day of departure: Bring your original passport (essential for foreigners!), take Subway Line 2 to Exit 13 at Centum City station, then walk for about 5 minutes to reach the 7th floor of Imperial Tower.
4. Upon arrival at the clinic: You’ll be given a Chinese form at the reception. Before the treatment, photos will be taken to document your skin condition. The clinic director will conduct a personal 20-minute consultation to finalize the treatment plan before proceeding.
5. Post-surgery: Chinese instructions for post-op care are provided on the spot. You can go shopping and eat out that very evening—there’s only mild swelling, so wearing a mask is no problem at all.

V. [Real User Reviews] First time visiting Korea – is this way of making arrangements smooth? What do those who’ve been there say?

Worried about making a bad booking choice? The best way to know is by checking what those who have actually visited have to say. I’ve compiled feedback from users on Naver, Google, and BeautsGO (presented anonymously for reference only), focusing on convenience of booking, communication, and the overall experience at the clinic.

VI. Complete Process at Busan Wannabe Dermatology: Appointment → In-person Consultation → Treatment (Standard SOP)

Above is my personal time line. Here, the “standard process” is broken down into 8 steps—those visiting for the first time can follow them to ensure a smooth experience.

1. Online booking: Use the BeautsGO APP, customer service, or mini-program to select “Busan Wannabe Dermatology,” and note your main concerns along with the preferred appointment time. Night appointments are particularly popular, so it’s recommended to book at least 2 weeks in advance.
2. Schedule confirmation: The Chinese customer service will get back to you within 1 day to confirm the director’s availability and send over the Korean address along with important notes.
3. Preparations before departure: Bring your original passport and go without makeup on the day of the procedure; if you’re taking blood-activating supplements (such as fish oil or vitamin E) regularly, it’s a good idea to check first whether you should pause taking them.
4. Check-in at the clinic: Walk about 5 minutes from Exit 13 of the Centum City subway station. Present the Chinese form at the reception and have your original passport checked.
5. In-person consultation in Chinese: The clinic director conducts a personal consultation lasting about 20 minutes, asking about your daily routine, stress levels, and previous use of acid treatments. They also take photos to assess your skin condition, and together you determine the best treatment plan (no forced recommendations).
6. Plan Confirmation: Verify the procedures and prices (same in China and Korea, no hidden fees), and obtain pre-operative consent.
7. Treatment: Micro-surgery injections are performed personally by the clinic director, accompanied by comfortable pain management; laser/therapy sessions vary in duration depending on the treatment.
8. Post-surgery care and follow-up: Chinese instructions for post-operative care are provided on the spot. Slight swelling the same night allows you to go shopping while wearing a mask. Even after returning home, you can still contact BeautsGO’s customer service via LINE for follow-up.

💡 The entire process (excluding waiting time) takes about 2–3 hours. Early appointments on weekdays are the fastest; weekends in the afternoon are peak times, so it’s recommended to avoid them or schedule appointments on weekdays.
