Quantitative Metrics

Concluding Summary

Ylas Clinic (일라스의원), under the leadership of Dr. Lee Seung-hee, represents a premium-tier aesthetic medical provider in the Busan Centum City region. The clinic successfully bridges the gap between accessible procedures (like diet injections) and high-end anti-aging treatments (like Emface and Thermage).

Dr. Lee's background in family medicine, combined with her experience in major aesthetic chains, has culminated in a practice that prioritizes holistic skin health ("Skin Savings") and vascular-focused treatments. While the clinic faces the typical challenges of a popular facility—such as managing wait times and balancing volume with personalization—its strong reputation on major review platforms and investment in top-tier medical technology suggests a high level of clinical competence and market trust.

Recommendation for Potential Patients:

  • Ideal For: Individuals seeking high-end lifting (Ulthera/Thermage) or vascular laser treatments in Busan; those looking for non-surgical body contouring.
