Board-Certified · Since 1984

Tattoo removal & pigment care,
in Seomyeon, Busan.

Gounsesang has practised dermatology in Seomyeon since 1984. Two board-certified directors — both former university faculty — diagnose first, then treat. We are an official XERF key-doctor clinic and use ruby-pico technology for tattoo and pigment removal that older lasers cannot match.

Why a board-certified dermatologist?

Diagnosis before treatment, always.

Gounsesang Dermatology has treated skin in Seomyeon, Busan since 1984. The difference a board-certified dermatologist makes is diagnosis: pigment that looks identical can be melasma, a dermal nevus, or post-inflammatory marks — each needs a different laser and a different plan. Our two directors are former university faculty and official XERF key doctors, and every patient is assessed with our 3D imaging system before a single shot. We do not push fixed packages; we treat what the skin actually needs.

Our philosophy

We don't chase the fastest result. We protect the skin and pursue a natural beauty that lasts a year, two years — not a single afternoon.

— Dr. Kim Yang-je & Dr. Jang Bong-seok, Co-Directors

Every plan begins with a precise, imaging-led diagnosis.

Can colour tattoos really be removed in Busan?

Yes — ruby-pico reaches colours older lasers leave behind.

Gounsesang Dermatology uses ruby-pico technology, which adds the 694nm ruby wavelength that conventional Nd:YAG pico and Q-switched lasers lack. That wavelength is what clears stubborn greens, light blues and sky-blue inks, as well as dense black, with fewer sessions and less scarring risk. Because we are board-certified dermatologists practising since 1984, we first diagnose ink depth, colour and your skin type, then set a realistic number of sessions rather than promising removal in one. Every plan is explained in English before we begin.

Foreign patient FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer consultations in English?
Yes. Our directors Dr. Kim and Dr. Jang and our staff provide consultation and aftercare in English, and a coordinator helps with booking and pricing before your visit.
Where is Gounsesang and how do I get there?
Gounsesang has been in Seomyeon, Busanjin-gu since 1984 — central Busan, about two minutes from Seomyeon Station on subway Lines 1 and 2.
What makes a board-certified dermatologist different for pigment and tattoos?
Identical-looking marks can be melasma, a dermal nevus or post-inflammatory pigment, each needing a different laser and plan — a board-certified dermatologist diagnoses the cause before treating, which protects your skin.
What is ruby-pico and why does it matter?
Ruby-pico adds the 694nm ruby wavelength to picosecond technology, clearing difficult tattoo colours and stubborn pigment that Nd:YAG-only lasers struggle with, often in fewer sessions.
How many sessions does tattoo removal take?
It depends on ink colour, depth and density and on your skin — black usually clears faster than colours. We give a realistic estimate after diagnosis rather than a fixed promise.
Is melasma treated the same as a tattoo?
No. Melasma is managed gently over a series to avoid rebound, unlike discrete spots or tattoos, which is exactly why diagnosis matters before any laser is chosen.
What is an XERF key doctor?
It means our directors are recognised reference physicians for the XERF lifting device, with advanced training and tips — relevant if you combine pigment care with lifting.
Can I plan from abroad before travelling?
Yes. Send photos and we will assess colour, depth and skin type and quote in writing, so your sessions are planned before you arrive in Busan.
