Review of the Large-scale Dermatology Clinic floria in Seomyeon, Busan | Is the HIFU technology with patent certification and the Thermage package really worth it?

▲ Floria Dermatology – 2nd Floor, E·LAND PEER Building, Seomyeon, Busan

I. What is the background of floria Dermatology?

🏥 If you are planning a medical beauty trip to Busan, or if you have been struggling to decide among the top five Dermatology clinics in Seomyeon, Floria Dermatology (Korean: 플로리아의원) is definitely a name you shouldn’t overlook. Although this clinic is located in the heart of Seomyeon’s commercial district and doesn’t boast the lavish facades of the chain clinics found in Gangnam, it has an excellent reputation among local South Koreans. With 167 genuine reviews on the Babitalk platform and an average score of 4.9 out of 5, this achievement is quite remarkable in the highly competitive medical beauty industry in Seomyeon.

💡 floria has a very clear philosophy: “Healthy and natural beauty.” The clinic is led by female doctors and focuses on one-on-one personalized consultations, rejecting the fast-paced, assembly-line approach. Its services range from basic skin cleansing and sensitive skin repair to anti-aging treatments, covering the full spectrum of daily skin care needs. During the 2026 discussions between Dcard and PTT, floria attracted much attention for its HIFU and Thermage FLX treatments, which were 20% to 36% cheaper than those available in Seoul’s Gangnam area. More importantly, floria’s HIFU technology has been certified as patented, which is quite rare among dermatology clinics in Busan.

II. Geographical Location and Transportation Guidelines

📍 Floria Dermatology is located at Seomyeon Station, where Busan Metro Lines 1 and 2 intersect. This area serves as Busan’s most important transportation hub and commercial center. The specific address is: 2nd Floor, E·LAND PEER Building, 664 Jungang-daero, Busanjin-gu, Busan.

🚇 Transportation Options:

1. Subway: After exiting from Exit 2 of Seomyeon Station, walk along the main road on the right for about 7 to 9 minutes. You will pass by the Education and Welfare Building and then turn into the PEER Building immediately next to it. Alternatively, you can walk just 3 minutes from Exit 16 (which leads to the underground shopping mall).
2. Driving: PEER Building has its own dedicated parking lot.
3. Surroundings: After completing the treatment, you can directly go downstairs to explore the Seomyeon underground shopping street, Lotte Department Store, or enjoy the local cuisine of Busan.

🕐 Business Hours:

⚠️ A small reminder: Weekends in the afternoon see a peak in foot traffic in the Seomyeon shopping district, so appointments at floria are also relatively busy during this time. It is recommended to schedule appointments on Tuesdays to Thursdays, in the morning or afternoon, as this will result in the shortest waiting times and make the consultation process more smooth. If you are interested in the price list for medical beauty treatments in Busan’s Seomyeon area in 2026, we have previously compiled a comprehensive summary of current prices for treatments such as Thermage, HIFU, and Filler.

III. Introduction to floria’s Special Services

🔥 Floria’s project approach can be summarized as a two-stage logic of “stabilization first, then Lifting”.

1. Basic skin care during the stabilization phase 🧴

✅ This is floria’s most fundamental differentiating advantage. The treatment philosophy of Director Shin Ji-hye is very practical: “If the skin is inflamed, red, or has damaged its protective barrier, applying energy therapy directly will only exacerbate the problem.”

• Basic cleansing treatment: Starting from ¥966,000 (approximately NT$1,780). The deep-cleaning technique is gentle; after the treatment, the skin does not feel tight or become red in large areas. It is ideal for regular Pore cleansing and the prevention of clogged pores.
• Micro-needle skin rejuvenation treatment: Starting from NT$935,000 (approximately US$9,450), this improved version of micro-needle therapy features significantly reduced pain and a faster recovery period.
• Skin Barrier Repair Treatment: Starting from NT$944,000 (approximately US$11,880), this treatment is designed for sensitive skin and uses ingredients that promote the skin’s natural repair process, ensuring a gentle and non-irritating effect.

2. Energy Anti-aging Treatment (Lifting Phase) ⚡

💎 On the basis of stable skin conditions, floria offers the following energy therapies:

• Thermage FLX: 300 treatments starting from ₩1,200,000 / 600 treatments starting from ₩1,800,000
• Korean-style HIFU (Ultherapy / Shurink): 300 treatments starting from ₩230,000
• HIFU Lifting for the Face: Acts on the deep SMAS fascia layer to lift the chin line and define the contours of the cheeks.
• Inmode Radiofrequency Skin Tightening: Gently heats the dermis to improve mild sagging and fine lines.

3. Injection and laser treatments 💉

• PDRN hyaluronic acid injection: starting from ¥916,000 per session – Busan’s most popular introductory treatment.
• Rejuran: 1 centum core basic package starting from ₩160,000 / HB Plus package starting from ₩250,000 / Healer package starting from ₩350,000
• Pico laser: Clean Skin Mode starting from ¥150,000 / Burst Mode starting from ¥240,000
• Filler injection: 1 centum core costs starting from ¥150,000 (for chin/nose contour).
• Botulinum toxin: Starting from approximately ₩100,000 (for face slimming/frown lines removal)

💰 It is worth noting that floria’s pricing strategy is based on the principle: “Rather than attracting first-time customers with low prices, it is better to retain repeat customers through high-quality technology and service.” This is also the reason why it has received 167 genuine positive reviews and an average score of 4.9 among local residents in South Korea – customers who are willing to give high ratings value more than just price.

IV. In-depth Analysis of the Patent-Certified HIFU Technology

🎯 HIFU is currently floria’s most popular and highly sought-after treatment, and it also constitutes the core of what is referred to as “patent-certified” in the title. However, there is one key question that needs to be clarified first: What exactly is floria’s HIFU treatment?

1. The differences between the “Korean version of HIFU” and the “original Ultherapy” 🔬

📋 On the BeautsGO reservation platform, floria’s HIFU service is listed as “Korean version Ultherapy.” The price of 300 treatments is ₩230,000—which is only about 1/3 to 1/5 of the original Ultherapy cost in Gangnam, Seoul. The significant price difference is due to the different types of equipment used.

• The original Ultherapy (developed by Ulthera Corporation in the United States): FDA-approved, real-time ultrasonic image guidance, precisely controllable energy levels. The price typically ranges from ₩800,000 to ₩91,500,000 per treatment.
• South Korean versions of HIFU devices (such as brands like Shurink and Doublo from South Korea): These devices utilize HIFU technology to target the SMAS fascia layer, achieving a lifting effect. However, they generally do not feature real-time imaging guidance and rely on the doctor’s experience to determine the treatment area.

🔑 The meaning of patent certification: The HIFU equipment used by floria has obtained medical device certification from South Korea’s KFDA (Food and Drug Safety Agency), and the equipment itself holds patents related to HIFU technology. This means that, although it is not the original equipment manufactured by Ulthera in the United States, it is still a medically approved device that has been legally registered in South Korea and is supported by clinical data. It is in no way an unlicensed “imitation product”.

2. The actual effects of floria’s HIFU 💪

✨ Based on 167 genuine reviews from the Babitalk and Gangnam Unni platforms, it can be seen that floria’s HIFU treatments mainly achieve the following results:

1. Thread Lifting for the chin line: 300 hairs are strategically injected into the chin line and cheek areas. The effects are most noticeable 1 to 3 months after the procedure, with the chin lines becoming clearer and more defined.
2. Lifting of the Apple Zone: It provides visible Lifting effects for mildly sagging Apple Zones, but for more severe cases, it is still recommended to use Thermage in combination.
3. Improvement of skin texture: During the penetration process, the energy from HIFU heats the dermis, stimulating the production of new Collagen and resulting in a smoother skin texture after the procedure.

3. Who is suitable for HIFU? 🙋

• ✅ Between the ages of 30 and 45, mild skin laxity and blurred jawlines begin to appear.
• ✅ If you want to “get prettier without anyone noticing” – the recovery time after the procedure is virtually zero, and you can already wear makeup the very next day.
• ✅ Limited budget but still want to experience ultrasonic lifting technology
• ✅ I have previously undergone Thermage treatment and would like to combine it with HIFU to enhance the results.
• ❌ Severe skin laxity (it is recommended to consider Thermage FLX as a priority).
• ❌ Insufficient facial fat (HIFU energy may cause the face to become sunken)

V. Analysis of the Price and Cost-effectiveness of the Thermage FLX Package

💰 This is probably the section that everyone is most interested in. Thermage FLX is currently recognized worldwide as the gold standard for non-invasive skin tightening and anti-aging treatments. So, is the price of floria’s FLX really worth it? Let’s let the data speak for itself.

1. floria’s Thermage FLX price list 💵

(Information source: koreanclinic.cceeo.com, updated in June 2026; actual prices are subject to the daily rates quoted by the clinic.)

2. Price comparison of Thermage treatments in Busan vs Seoul Gangnam 📊

3. Comprehensive Cost-Benefit Analysis 🧮

✅ Target audience:

1. Getting the FLX Gen 5 Thermage treatment for 600 units at a price of ₩1,200,000 is indeed 20% cheaper than in Gangnam, Seoul – which means you can save approximately NT$8,100, enough to afford another delicious Busan barbecue meal.
2. If you also opt for the PDRN glow treatment (₩160,000) or the basic cleansing service (₩66,000), you can usually get an additional 5% to 10% discount on the combined package.
3. The accommodation and dining costs in Busan are inherently 30% to 50% lower than those in Seoul, so the overall cost savings for the entire trip are quite significant.

⚠️ Important considerations:

1. The price difference between floria’s FLX 300-shot package at ₩1,200,000 and the 600-shot package at ₩1,800,000 is ₩600,000—which means an additional cost of approximately ₩2,000 per shot. Compared to some clinics in Seoul that offer 900-shot full-face treatment packages at prices ranging from ₩1,000,000 to ₩91,500,000, floria does not provide a fixed price for the 900-shot package; customers need to inquire directly.
2. The key to the effectiveness of Thermage lies not in “the number of treatments administered,” but rather in the doctor’s ability to control the amount of energy used and determine the appropriate treatment areas. The advantage of floria lies in its one-on-one consultations, where doctors will adjust the number of treatments based on your actual skin condition, rather than simply offering preset packages with a higher number of treatments.
3. If what you are looking for is “the cheapest Thermage treatment in South Korea”, floria is not the right choice for you. There are other clinics in Busan that offer even lower prices, but you will need to assess the associated risks regarding the equipment and the experience of the doctors yourself.

🔑 Conclusion: Floria’s Thermage package achieves a good balance between “technical quality” and “reasonable price”. It may not be the cheapest option, but considering that it is led by a female doctor, provides one-on-one consultations, and has received 167 reviews with an average score of 4.9, the price is indeed compelling. If you are looking for “reliable results at a reasonable cost”, Floria is worth considering.

VI. The process of seeking treatment at floria for the first time

🏃 If this is your first time visiting South Korea for cosmetic procedures or coming to floria, the following is a comprehensive guide to the entire process, from making an appointment to post-operative care:

1. Booking phase (1–2 weeks before departure) 📱

1. You can make a reservation via WeChat (ID: s-sourire) or the BeautsGO platform. Please provide the following information: your name in Pinyin, the estimated arrival date in Busan, the treatments you would like to undergo, and any special notes (such as sensitive skin, use of retinol products, tendency to develop bruises, etc.).
2. The Chinese customer service will assist in confirming the details of the treatment, the price, and the available schedule, and will also provide information on pre-treatment precautions (such as stopping the use of retinol products and avoiding sun exposure).
3. After confirming your reservation, it is recommended that you take a screenshot of the confirmation message.

2. On the day of arrival at the hospital 🏥

1. Check-in at the front desk: Provide your name and passport for verification, and fill out basic information (such as any history of allergies, medications you are currently taking, or whether you have a tendency to develop angioedema).
2. Skin examination (when necessary): Doctors use specialized imaging devices to analyze the distribution of spots, Pores, and redness, providing data to assess the current condition of your skin.
3. Consultation by the director/director and doctor: This is the most crucial step in floria’s treatment process. The doctor will conduct a personal consultation to identify the injection areas, determine the scope of treatment, and explain potential risks and expected results. The consultation usually takes 15 to 30 minutes and is not conducted in a hasty manner.
4. Signature of the consent form + Payment: After confirming the treatment plan, sign the consent form. Remember—you have the right to refuse any items not listed in the consent form; this is an important safeguard against unnecessary additional treatments being recommended to you.

3. The procedure 💆

1. Clean the face → Apply the anesthetic cream (for about 30 minutes) → The doctor will then proceed with the injection.
2. The entire treatment with Thermage FLX takes approximately 40 to 60 minutes (600 shots), while HIFU usually takes around 20 to 30 minutes (300 shots).
3. During the treatment, the doctor will continuously ask about your sensations and adjust the intensity of the energy accordingly.

4. Post-treatment Care 🧊

1. After the treatment, apply cold compresses or use a facial mask to help soothe the area for approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
2. Receive your post-operative care kit, which includes sunscreen, repair cream, and a guide to post-operative precautions.
3. The doctor will inform you about the right time to wash your face, the frequency of applying ice packs, and when it is safe to apply makeup – please make sure to take these notes down.

💡 Post-treatment recommendations: For mild treatments (such as basic skincare or PDRN hyaluronic acid injections), you can wear light makeup on the same day, but it is still essential to protect your skin from the sun. For more intensive treatments (such as Thermage or HIFU), it is recommended to schedule them in the last half-day of your trip in Busan or on the day before returning home, to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun or any discomfort that might affect the quality of your journey.

VII. Compilation of genuine reviews from PTT/Dcard/Naver

💬 Real customer reviews are far more persuasive than any form of advertising. Below are some evaluations of floria gathered from PTT, Dcard, Babitalk, and Gangnam Unni:

Reviews from the Taiwanese/Hong Kong communities 🇹🇼🇭🇰

⭐ A netizen from Dcard (March 2026): “This was my first time undergoing medical beauty treatments in South Korea. I chose floria because it offers Chinese-language support (WeChat account: s-sourire), and someone accompanied me throughout the entire process, from making an appointment to actually arriving at the clinic. The director conducted a very thorough consultation; it wasn’t just a quick form-filled-out and then immediate treatment. After the PDRN glow treatment, my skin really looked two shades brighter!”

⭐ A netizen from PTT (April 2026): “After comparing three clinics in Gangnam, I decided to go to Busan for the procedure. Floria’s Thermage treatment costs ₩1,200,000 for 600 sessions, which is almost 10,000 Taiwan dollars cheaper than in Seoul. The director is a female doctor with gentle techniques, and I am very satisfied with the results of my chin line treatment three months after the procedure.”

⭐ A netizen from Hong Kong (May 2026): “The extra care taken for sensitive skin is really a plus! The director first helped me restore my skin’s barrier before proceeding with the PDRN treatment. The basic cleansing service costs ₩66,000—which is much cheaper than in Hong Kong!”

Reviews from local South Korean communities 🇰🇷

⭐ Babitalk (167 reviews, 4.9/5 stars): The positive reviews mainly focus on the “attention paid during one-on-one consultations” and the fact that “expensive treatments are not aggressively promoted.” Many netizens mentioned: “The director never treats you perfunctorily just because you want to opt for cheaper treatments.”

⭐ Gangnam Unni (583 reviews): Marked as a popular clinic, the “female doctor” label is a major reason many people choose it – a female-led environment makes patients feel more at ease.

⭐ Cashdoc (20 reviews, 4.8/5 stars): The ratings on this South Korea-based medical evaluation platform are also very impressive. Customers generally agree that the services offer “reasonable prices, a clean environment, and professional doctors”.

Common negative/neutral opinions ⚖️

For the sake of providing an objective overview, we have also listed some key aspects that deserve attention:

1. Long waiting times on weekends: Due to the large crowd in the Seomyeon shopping area on weekends, even with a reservation, you may still need to wait for 15 to 30 minutes.
2. Not the “lowest-price” clinic: If you’re looking for the cheapest Thermage treatment in Busan, there are other options available – but you’ll need to assess the quality of the equipment and the experience of the doctors yourself.
3. For those who are not suitable for seeking “radical changes”: floria’s aesthetic philosophy emphasizes natural, gradual improvements. If you want to “get a completely new face” in one go, this is not what she represents.

1. Preoperative Precautions Checklist 📋

IX. Why is it worth choosing floria?

🏆 Based on the above analysis, the core competitive advantages of floria Dermatology can be summarized as follows:

1. Female doctor-led + one-on-one consultation 👩‍⚕️

💎 This is floria’s greatest competitive advantage. In South Korea’s medical aesthetics market, streamlined and rapid procedures are the norm—consultants handle customer inquiries, nurses perform the treatments, and doctors take only 5 minutes to confirm everything. However, Director Shin Ji-hye of floria insists on personally conducting consultations and performing treatments herself, participating in every step from skin analysis to treatment planning. This sense of reassurance is something that money cannot buy.

2. HIFU patent certification 📜

🔬 The HIFU equipment used by floria has obtained the medical device certification from South Korea’s KFDA and holds relevant patents for HIFU technology. In Seomyeon, Busan, dermatology clinics with such certifications are not common – this indicates that the safety of the technology is legally recognized.

3. The prices are reasonable, being 20% to 36% cheaper than those in Seoul 💰

📊 600 treatments of Thermage FLX for ₩1,200,000, PDRN glow treatment for ₩160,000, and basic skin cleansing for ₩66,000 —— coupled with the lower costs of accommodation and meals in Busan, the cost-performance ratio of this entire medical beauty experience is truly outstanding. If you’re interested in learning more about the complete guide to Thermage treatments at Busan Renovo Dermatology and a detailed analysis of the prices, you can compare various options side by side.

4. No hard-selling; trust is the foundation 🤝

🛡️ In reviews from Dcard, PTT, to Babitalk, “no forced sales” is one of the keywords that appears most frequently. Any service that is not listed in the consent form will not be offered – for customers who are concerned about ending up with services beyond what was initially agreed upon, this is undoubtedly the most important safeguard.

5. Chinese-language service windows – even those who don’t speak Korean can use them with confidence 🇹🇼

💬 WeChat ID s-sourire provides comprehensive Chinese-language services throughout the entire process, from pre-operative assessment and appointment scheduling to price confirmation and on-site accompaniment. If you want to learn more about how to undergo cosmetic procedures in a Busan Dermatology clinic with no prior knowledge of Korean, we have previously published a detailed guide based on real experiences from friends.

X. Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is floria’s Thermage device the original FLX model? 💡

✅ Yes, the Thermage FLX used by floria is an original device manufactured by Solta Medical in the United States, and it is neither a counterfeit nor a refurbished model. It is recommended that you ask the doctor to show you the device’s certification label and the original packaging of the probe during the consultation, in order to confirm its authenticity.

2. Is 300 sessions of HIFU enough? Should we increase it to 600 sessions? 🔢

📋 Floria’s Korean version of the HIFU device uses 300 treatments as the basic unit. For those with mild skin laxity (aged 30–40), 300 treatments applied to the chin line and cheeks usually yield satisfactory results. If you want to treat the entire face and neck, it is recommended to consult a doctor to determine whether additional treatments are needed. Note that the energy level of each treatment with the Korean version of this device is different from that of the original Ultherapy, so it is not appropriate to compare the number of treatments directly.

3. Can Thermage and HIFU be used together? 🔄

⚠️ It is not recommended to undergo two different types of energy therapies on the same day. Thermage acts on the dermis layer (about 3.0 mm), while HIFU targets the SMAS fascia layer (about 4.5 mm). Although these treatments can complement each other, it is advised to wait at least 1 to 3 months between them.

4. How soon can I see the results after the procedure? ⏱️

📈 Thermage FLX: Provides approximately 20% immediate tightening effects after the procedure. The production of Collagen reaches its peak within 1 to 3 months and lasts for 1 to 2 years. HIFU: The most significant results are observed 1 to 3 months after the treatment, with effects lasting for around 1 year.

5. Will it be a problem if I have no knowledge of Korean and try to communicate with floria? 🗣️

💬 No way. floria has a dedicated Chinese WeChat account (s-sourire), providing Chinese-language services throughout the entire process, from reservation to on-site accompaniment. If you are not familiar with the complete process of making appointments for medical beauty treatments in South Korea, you can first refer to this comprehensive guide that covers everything from using Line to communicating through WeChat.

6. How many days of recovery time are needed after the procedure? 📅

🕐 Thermage FLX: There may be slight redness on the day of the procedure, which will subside within 1 to 2 days. HIFU: Almost no recovery period required; mild swelling will disappear within 24 hours. Injection treatments (such as hyaluronic acid, botulinum toxin, or Filler): The injection sites and bruises will fade within 1 to 3 days. It is recommended to schedule energy-based treatments in the latter half of your travel itinerary.

7. What payment methods does floria accept? 💳

💰 We accept cash in Korean won and credit cards (Visa/Mastercard). For some services, paying in cash can enjoy discounts of 2% to 5%. It is recommended to bring enough cash in Korean won to get the best discount.
