Dermatology clinic prices in Seoul are set per unit, and the listed menu items start from ₩33,000 before VAT. Fillers are counted per cc or syringe, botulinum toxin per area or unit, and lasers, boosters and facials per session or course. A typical injectable quote names the product, the amount for each area and the follow-up check, while a laser package states how many sessions it covers. The table below gathers current menu prices from 10 clinics so you can compare like with like. Every figure is shown before VAT, and 10% VAT is added at payment. Treat the lowest line as a starting point, because the product brand and the amount your face needs move the final total.

What changes the price
- Amount injected: filler is billed per cc or syringe and toxin per unit or area, so a plan for cheeks and jawline costs more than a single area.
- Product brand: imported hyaluronic acid fillers, domestic fillers and collagen boosters such as calcium hydroxylapatite sit on different menu lines.
- Treatment area: small zones like the lips or frown lines use less product than the forehead, temples or jaw muscles.
- Who injects: some clinics price a named treating doctor differently from a general appointment, which is worth asking about before you agree.
- Combined plans: toxin with filler, or a laser followed by a booster, is often written as a bundle with one total for the visit.
- Correction and follow-up: whether a review visit, a small top-up or dissolving filler with hyaluronidase is included changes the real cost of a plan.
- VAT: menus show prices before VAT, and 10% VAT is added at payment, so the amount on the receipt is higher than the menu line.

FAQ
Questions about aesthetic clinics in Hongdae
Is VAT already part of the price on a Seoul clinic menu?
No, menu prices at Seoul skin clinics are normally written before VAT. The clinic adds 10% VAT when you pay, so the receipt total is higher than the line you saw. When collecting quotes, ask each clinic to write the before-VAT figure and the VAT separately. That keeps the comparison fair, because some messages quote one figure and others quote the other.
Why can the same filler cost differently from one clinic to the next?
The product brand, the amount per area and what the quote includes explain most of the gap. One clinic may quote a domestic hyaluronic acid filler and another an imported brand for the same lips. Some include a review visit or numbing cream while others charge separately. Ask for the product name and cc in writing, then compare the plans as a whole rather than the headline figure.
Is dissolving filler charged separately?
Usually yes, hyaluronidase is billed as its own item unless the plan says otherwise. Baker reviewed its use in the Journal of Aesthetic Nursing in 2016 and found it plays an important role in reversing hyaluronic acid filler complications, while dosing guidance still varies. Before treatment, ask whether a correction visit is included and whether the clinic keeps hyaluronidase on site for urgent cases.
What does the lowest listed filler or toxin price normally cover?
It usually covers the smallest unit on the menu, such as one area of toxin or one cc of a standard filler. Numbing, a follow-up check and premium brands are often extra. The lowest listed price is useful for seeing where a menu starts. A full plan for several areas will cost more, so ask for a written breakdown before the doctor begins.
Can I pay a Seoul skin clinic with an overseas card?
Most skin clinics in Seoul accept major international credit and debit cards, and many also take cash. Payment is normally made on the day, after the consultation and before or right after treatment. Your card issuer may add a foreign transaction fee. Keep the itemized receipt, as it lists each product and session in case you need it later. Ask for it to be printed in English if that is easier to read.
Do top-up or repeat injections cost the same as the first visit?
Not always, so check the clinic's policy before your first session. Some clinics offer a lower rate for a small top-up within a set number of weeks, while others charge the full menu rate each time. Laser and booster courses are often priced as a set of sessions. Ask whether unused sessions can be used on a later trip and how long the course stays valid.
