K-BEAUTY PRICE & DOWNTIME GUIDE

Botox (forehead) in Hongdae, Seoul: Price & Downtime Guide

Hongdae has directly observable promotional pricing for forehead Botox, but the lowest number is not a complete comparison unless product origin, units and VAT-inclusive total are documented. Koursea plans to support fixed-price comparison fields; until then, confirm all three through the clinic's official channel.

DIRECT BOOKING SAFETY

Booking this yourself

Koursea doesn't book appointments or link to specific clinics — this page is a price/planning reference, not a booking channel. In Centum and Seomyeon, most clinics take reservations through their own KakaoTalk channel or Instagram DM (search the clinic's Korean name, not the English transliteration), and larger clinics often have a dedicated overseas patient / international desk — ask for it by name when you call or message. Whichever channel you use, get the full price in writing before you go, and treat a broker or agency offering a “discounted” quote as a red flag, not a shortcut.
