Last month, I went on a self-guided trip to Busan and stayed at the Lotte Hotel. By chance, I discovered that on the 7th floor of the hotel was Dr. Evers’ Seomyeon branch—a Dermatology clinic with over 30 outlets across South Korea. This isn’t a sponsored post; it’s my honest review based on my own experience, covering the facility, prices, what to expect during treatments, and some common pitfalls to avoid. If you’re planning to visit Busan to look better, save this article first.
Why did I notice the Dr.Evers store in Seomyeon, Busan? A well-known chain brand located inside Lotte Hotel
🏥
I only chose this place because of its convenient location. I was staying at the Lotte Hotel in Busan during my trip, and one morning I took the elevator up to the 7th floor to head to the gym. As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw the sign for dr.evers. For travelers on their own, having a beauty clinic right above the hotel is incredibly convenient — no need to haul luggage across half the city to get cosmetic treatments; you can just go down after waking up and get your treatment done right away.
But while convenience is convenient, I’m also worried about running into pitfalls. After all, since it’s located in a hotel, I can’t help but wonder if the prices are exorbitant or if it’s meant mainly for tourists. That’s why in this article I’ll share my genuine experiences, including what I think is worth trying and what you should know first.
What’s behind Dr. Evers? The strength behind 30 chain clinics across Korea
📋
Dr. Evers is a Dermatology chain brand that has seen rapid growth in South Korea in recent years, with over 30 clinics across the country. The store located in Seomyeon, Busan, is one of them and is set to open around 2025. One of the advantages of a chain system is standardized procedures: from consultation and anesthesia application, to injections and post-operative follow-ups, every step follows established SOPs, unlike some independent clinics where everything depends on the doctor’s mood on the day.
What’s even more useful for international visitors is language support—this clinic offers customer service in Chinese, Japanese, and English, so there’s no need to communicate through gestures. For those visiting South Korea for medical aesthetics for the first time and wanting to avoid commission fees charged by agents, having a chain-based establishment with Chinese-speaking staff provides great peace of mind.
Step into the 7th floor of Lotte Hotel: An authentic experience of the environment and consultation
✨
The clinic is located on a hotel floor, with a minimalist and clean design that avoids the stressful “hospital vibe.” Upon arrival, you first fill out some basic information, after which a consultant takes you to the treatment room for a consultation with the director. I paid special attention to two things: first, the treatment rooms are private booths rather than shared spaces; second, the director asks about my goals first—whether I want volumizing effects or reduction of fine lines—before deciding what treatment to use and to what depth, rather than pushing the most expensive package as soon as I walk in.
The overall pace isn’t rushed. From the consultation to applying the anesthetic, about 20 minutes were allocated for me to have a thorough conversation with the director—this step is particularly important for those doing it for the first time.
The projects I work on and intraoperative sensation records (no hiding anything)
💉
What I had done this time was a manual injection of Rejuran combined with a dose of hyaluronic acid treatment. The procedure went like this: face washing → applying an anesthetic for about 20 minutes → the doctor injecting each needle manually, with the whole process taking around 45 minutes. To be honest, although “manual injection” sounds abstract, you can actually feel the needles going in—there’s a noticeable tingling sensation in bony areas like the Forehead and bridge of the nose, while the stinging feeling is more pronounced on the temples. Still, it was within an acceptable range; it wasn’t painful to the point where I wanted to run away.
Soft tissues like the cheeks are actually the least sensitive to this treatment, making it quite similar to a regular Pico treatment. Right after the procedure, the face may turn slightly red and swell a bit, but applying ice compresses for 10 minutes can significantly reduce these effects. The results develop over time: a glowing effect appears around days 3–5, while noticeable plumpness shows up by day 10. The overall effect typically lasts about 3 months, after which another treatment is needed.
Full cost transparency: Price ranges and conversion to New Taiwan Dollars
💰
To get straight to the point: In South Korea, the average market price for manual Rejuran injections is around ₩300,000–500,000 per session, while hyaluronic acid injections cost approximately ₩200,000–400,000 per session (these are just estimates; please refer to dr.evers’ current quotes for accurate pricing). Based on recent exchange rates, ₩300,000 is roughly equivalent to NT$7,000–8,000, which makes it significantly more affordable compared to getting the same treatments at medical aesthetics clinics in Taiwan. However, to give a fair comparison, one should also take into account the costs associated with flight tickets and accommodation.
The prices at this chain are uniformly listed publicly, unlike some places that offer quotes based on individual customers.

5 Post-Surgery Care Tips (Doing These Wrong Can Affect Results)
⚠️
Post-surgery care directly determines how long the results will last. These 5 points are based on my own experiences as well as information I’ve obtained from skincare specialists:
1. Keep the needle sites dry and avoid applying makeup for 24 hours after the procedure; gentle cleaning can be done the next day.
2. Avoid saunas
, steam baths, hot yoga, and other high-temperature activities for three days, as heat accelerates metabolism and shortens the duration of the results.
3. Focus on s
trengthening hydration and sun protection—your skin will be relatively dry during these days, so proper moisturization is essential to maintain its plum
pness.
4. Refrain from intense facial massages or gua sha treatments for a week to prevent the injected products from spreading.
5. Return for follo
w-up appointments or additional injections at the recommended time by the clinic to ensure consistent and sustained results.
Who it’s suitable for / Who it’s not suitable for?
👭
Suitable for:
· Those traveling on a self-guided tour in Busan, staying at Lotte Hotel or in the Seomyeon area, and looking to enhance their appearance
along the way.
· First-time patients considering medical aesthetics treatments who prefer communication in Chinese and don’t want
to rely on agents.
· People who are afraid of pain but still want to try Rejuran or hyaluronic acid injections, and need a standardized procedure to minimize risks.
Not suitable for:
· Pregnant or breastfeeding women may face risks to medication safety, so it’s best to postpone treatment in such cases.
· Those with a history of angioedema or currently experiencing inflamed breakouts are advised to wait until their condition stabili
zes before considering treatment.
· For those hoping for “permanent results in just one session” — injectable treatments are meant for regular maintenance, not a one-time solution.
To be honest about the pros and cons: Is this place really worth visiting?
⚖️
Advantages: Convenient location (located on top of a hotel, just a 7-minute walk from Seomyeon Station), standardized chain operations, available Chinese-speaking customer service, and no need to go through agents. For independent travelers, all these factors combined make things much easier.
Downsides: Chain clinics inevitably have a somewhat “assembly-line” feel. If you’re looking for highly customized services that require a half-hour consultation with the director, they might not be as good as independent clinics. The prices aren’t the lowest on the market (but they are transparent). You need to book in advance during peak times, as walk-ins may not guarantee entry. I’ve also written another article detailing the pros and cons of this assembly-line service style—feel free to check it out alongside this one.

Pitfalls I’ve Encountered: 4 Common Misconceptions About Reviews of {HOSP_NAME}
⚠️ Trap 1: Assuming that just because it’s located in the Lotte Hotel, it must be expensive
Many people assume high prices as soon as they hear “7th floor of the hotel.” In reality, dr.evers follows a unified pricing system across all its stores in Korea, ensuring transparent prices without arbitrary surcharges based on location. The key is to check the current promotional rates.
→ How to avoid it: Check the official price list first before comparing prices, and don’t let the word “hotel” put you off.
⚠️ Trap 2: Thinking a chain clinic means an assembly-line process with uncommitted doctors
I was initially worried that chain clinics would rush through the procedure like a factory. But during my actual consultation, the doctor carefully pinpointed each spot and injected the filler manually over about 45 minutes—there was no hasty handling at all. In fact, the advantage of chain clinics lies in their standardized procedures, which make it less likely to encounter problems.
→ How to avoid it: Instead of worrying about complications, make sure to check whether the procedure is done manually and whether it’s performed by the doctor in person.
⚠️ Trap 3: Thinking you need an agent to secure a booking
Many agencies online charge a commission. In fact, Dr.Evers offers Chinese-speaking customer service and supports bookings through BeautsGO online. It’s totally feasible to make appointments on your own when traveling independently, and you can use the money saved from avoiding agency fees to add another treatment.
→ How to avoid it: Refer to this full Chinese guide on booking appointments at Busan’s Dr.evers — booking on your own is a breeze.
⚠️ Trap 4: Thinking it will last forever after just one treatment
Injections like hyaluronic acid treatments and Rejuran aren’t a one-time solution. From my personal experience, you start to notice a glow around days 3–5, with significant plumpness appearing by day 10. The effects generally last around 3 months, and regular maintenance is needed to keep them stable.
→ How to avoid it: Include “regular maintenance” in your budget — don’t expect everything to be fixed in one go.
