Say no to exorbitant overpriced treatments! Full price transparency at Busan’s Rezero Dermatology — real product inspection on site plus clear, fair pricing that’s truly attractive.

When coming to South Korea for cosmetic treatments, what people fear most isn’t the high cost itself, but rather unclear pricing. I came across this Rezero Dermatology clinic in Seomyeon, Busan, online, and their prices seemed quite attractive: 100 sessions of the American version of Ultherapy II only cost 300,000 Korean won, while 300 sessions of Thermage radiofrequency therapy priced at 1.2 million Korean won. Yet many still wonder: Are these prices really legitimate? Will they charge more once you arrive at the clinic? Or will they tell you that these are old rates?

I’ve laid out all the prices available on the BeautsGO app, the photos I’ve compiled myself, and the feedback from people who have actually visited. There are three key things to keep in mind: check the products in person, ensure clear pricing, and be wary of hidden fees. If you’re still hesitating about booking at Rezero, read this first before making a decision.

30-second summary: Rezero does offer lower prices for certain services compared to similar hospitals in Seoul, but these lower rates usually apply only to the “basic graft count + basic package.” To avoid unexpected price hikes, it’s crucial to confirm in person that the implants are original, the graft count is sufficient, all costs are included, and to have the price clearly stated in the appointment form.

I. Full Price Transparency: First, understand the logic behind pricing in South Korea’s medical aesthetics industry

Many people immediately ask, “How much is a full-face treatment?” But Dermatology clinics in South Korea rarely offer fixed package prices. The reason is simple: even for treatments labeled as “ultrasonic therapy,” the cost differs by three times depending on whether 100 or 300 shots are used; similarly, for “Thermage,” the results vary greatly between 300 and 600 shots. Factors such as whether anesthesia or post-treatment sedation is included, and whether the procedure is performed by the clinic’s chief physician, all affect the final price.

1. Why does the same hospital have two different prices?

1. The number of pulses determines the base price: Devices like the American version of ultrasound therapy, Thermage, and Sofwave are almost all priced based on the number of pulses. The more pulses used, the higher the cost of consumables, and consequently, the higher the price.
2. Combining treatment packages can dilute the cost per session: for example, the “All-Tight Comprehensive Lifting” package of 3 sessions is cheaper per session when split up, but if you don’t actually need three sessions, the savings aren’t worth it.
3. Direct consultation with the director vs. consultant’s plan: Some low-cost packages are based on plans created by consultants, with the director merely performing the procedure; if you request that the director personally oversee the entire process from start to finish, the price may increase.

2. Clear pricing doesn’t mean there are no hidden terms.

1. Tax included? It’s common for medical beauty quotes in South Korea to state “VAT 10% not included.” When checking the price list, be sure to pay attention to the bottom line that says “10% VAT extra.”
2. Does it include anesthesia? For treatments like ultrasound, radiofrequency, and hyaluronic acid injections, anesthetic cream or local anesthesia is usually charged separately, especially if you’re sensitive to pain and want stronger anesthesia.
3. Post-operative care is charged separately: LDM, calming masks, and redness-reducing lasers. Some clinics include these in the package, while others charge for them as separate services on the day of treatment.

II. Pricing Overview of Key Treatments at Busan Rezero Dermatology

The table below outlines the key items based on the available pricing information for Rezero in Busan at present. Note that medical beauty prices in South Korea can change depending on various promotions, so the actual price will be determined during the in-person consultation. This is merely a tool for comparing “current reference prices” only.

III. Verify in Person: 3 Things You Must Ask Before Visiting Rezero Dermatology in Busan

The price list is just a piece of paper — what really determines whether you’re being overcharged is the communication that takes place on the day. Rezero claims that in-person consultations are conducted by the director in person, and the procedures are also performed by the director, so this should be confirmed face to face. It’s recommended to use a translation tool or consult their Chinese customer service to get clear answers to the following three questions.

1. Is the probe genuine original? Can I check it in person?

1. Both the American versions of Ultherapy and Thermage come with original probes. Fake probes can cost as little as one-third of the genuine ones, but their performance and safety levels are far inferior.
2. Reputable hospitals usually won’t refuse to let you inspect the probe packaging in person, especially if you ask for it.
3. If the consultant evades the question, saying “they’re all the same machine” without showing it, that’s a red flag.

2. Will the number of sessions be reduced midway through the treatment?

1. If it’s agreed to be 300 shots, then 300 shots should be given—not “depending on your skin condition, only 200 shots in the end.”
2. Make sure to write down your desired number in the treatment plan or appointment confirmation letter before the surgery.
3. It’s perfectly reasonable to ask the clinic to provide you with a record of the device screen or usage logs of the probe after the procedure.

3. Is the quote a “all-inclusive price”?

1. Make sure to ask whether it includes 10% VAT, anesthesia, postoperative sedation, and makeup removal and cleansing.
2. If enhanced anesthesia or additional LDM is needed after the procedure, what’s the extra cost? It’s cheaper to ask first than to find out later.
3. Although the 50,000 KRW consultation fee can be deducted, you should check whether it will be converted into points at the clinic if no treatment is performed on that day, and whether those points have an expiration date.

IV. Why do some people find that the prices after visiting the clinic are different from what they expected?

Rezero’s low prices have been widely discussed online, but “low price” isn’t a magic solution. Some people who’ve visited find it worth the cost, while others end up paying more than they expected. I’ve listed the common reasons for these price discrepancies—not to criticize the clinic, but to help you plan your budget in advance.

1. The low-priced options are just discounts; the actual procedures you need will be charged separately.

1. For example, 100 pulses may not be sufficient for some people, and doctors recommend increasing it to 300 pulses, which raises the price from 300,000 to starting at 900,000.
2. A 60,000 won hydrotherapy treatment might seem cheap, but if it uses a basic formula, you’ll have to pay extra if you want to add Rejuran or Juvelook.
3. It’s not exactly lying, but it does fall under “failing to clarify the full budget.” Consumers need to know how to ask.

2. Mixed pricing of promotional rates and regular prices listed

1. The “original price” and “special price” marked off on the price list are sometimes just for visual effect — the original price may not reflect the actual market rate.
2. Promotional prices usually come with time or quantity restrictions, so make sure to ask about the deadline when booking.
3. If the promotional price is only available for new customers or for their first visit, it will revert to the regular price on subsequent visits.

V. Who is this price suitable for? And who isn’t?

Rezero’s pricing strategy is more akin to that of a “cost-effective daily maintenance Dermatology clinic” — it’s not one of those top-tier anti-aging centers that charge tens of millions of won. It’s quite clear who would benefit from it and who wouldn’t.

VI. Booking Tips & Q&A: How to book with the highest success rate?

If you still want to go after seeing the price list, it’s recommended not to head there right away. Although Busan isn’t as crowded as Seoul, popular doctors’ schedules can still get fully booked. Do three things before making a reservation.

1. Make sure to confirm the “three must-haves” before scheduling your appointment

1. Login: You can log in to the BeautsGO APP, search for “Busan Rezero Dermatology,” and contact their Chinese-speaking customer service online.
2. What you want: Simply tell the customer service what treatment you’re interested in, such as “Ultherapy 2nd Generation – 300 shots” or “Thermage – 300 shots.” Don’t just say “I want firmer skin.”
3. Doctor required: If there’s a designated chief physician, please mention it in advance. If not, make sure to find out which chief physician will be conducting the consultation and procedure on that day.
4. For a all-inclusive price: Please ask the customer service to include the cost with taxes, anesthesia, and post-operative care in the appointment confirmation, and save a screenshot as proof.

2. The “Three Nos” rule for visiting the store on the same day

1. No last-minute add-ons: Unless you already have a generous budget, don’t upgrade on the spot just because the consultant says it will give better results.
2. Don’t skip verification: check the probe, ask about the number of sessions, and confirm the doctor—leave nothing out.
3. No need to pay in full right away: In South Korea, you can usually finalize the treatment plan on the same day before making payment, and there’s no need to pay a large deposit when scheduling an appointment.

3. Quick Answers to Common Questions

1. Q: Will the prices listed on the price sheet change once I arrive at the store?
   It’s possible, especially for promotional prices or limited quantities. It’s recommended to ask the customer service to lock in the price and take a screenshot when making the reservation.
2. Q: Is the consultation fee mandatory?
   Yes, the consultation fee with the director is 50,000 KRW. If a treatment is performed on the same day, it can be fully deducted; otherwise, it will be converted into points at the clinic.
3. Q: Are the Chinese customer service representatives reliable?
   Rezero may not have permanent Chinese-speaking staff, so it’s recommended to use booking platforms that offer Chinese customer service to avoid misunderstandings caused by on-site translators.

Worried about communication issues on the spot? Use BeautsGO’s Chinese customer service to help book a Rezero appointment. Confirm the procedure, dosage, and price in advance so you won’t face unexpected price hikes at the clinic.

The ultimate truth in the last sentence

Rezero’s prices are indeed competitive, especially with its entry-level packages such as the US version of Ultherapy at 300 sessions for 1.2 million KRW and Thermage at 300 sessions for 1.2 million KRW—making it easy for those who want to give it a try. However, “cheap” and “right for you” are two different things. Without clearly understanding whether there are enough treatment sessions, whether the doctor meets your expectations, and whether the price includes taxes and post-procedure care, even the lowest price can turn out to be a waste of money.

Rather than saying “clear pricing is great,” it’s more accurate to say that “hospitals that allow you to verify everything in person and clearly outline their terms are truly outstanding.” If you’re still hesitating about Rezero, you can first check out the previous article, “Real Reviews of Rezero Dermatology in Busan,” to see what others have to say. You might also compare the prices at Base Dermatology in Busan, Theia’s actual costs, and how Sofwave charges based on the number of sessions, so you can evaluate a few options before making a decision.

Do your homework before booking: Download the BeautsGO app to check out Rezero’s reviews and prices, and take a look at genuine customer feedback—this is more reliable than relying solely on REDnote guides.
