Seoul Skin Clinic Price Guide (2026): What Foreigners Actually Pay
2026 benchmark rates for Rejuran, Ultherapy, Shurink, and Botox in Seoul. Compare standard network clinic prices with premium private practices.
Table of Contents
Seoul clinic menus can look inexpensive until you discover that two quotes use different doses, devices, shot counts, tax treatment, or consultation models. This guide gives travelers a like-for-like starting point for standard high-volume or network clinics—not a promise that every patient should receive the same treatment or price.
30-Second Price Decision
- Compare Rejuran by verified 2cc volume, not a vague “full-face” label.
- Compare Shurink and Ultherapy by device, shot count, cartridge depth, and treatment area; they are not interchangeable HIFU quotes.
- Compare Botox by product origin and unit count, not only the advertised body area.
- Ask for a written VAT-inclusive final total before paying or traveling to the clinic.
Standard High-Volume / Network Clinic Benchmarks
These planning ranges aggregate Koursea’s verified Seoul pricing records and current publicly displayed clinic menus. Promotional eligibility and package inclusions change, so use the table as a quote-checking tool rather than a guaranteed rate card.
| Treatment and comparison unit | 2026 network-clinic benchmark | Typical visible downtime | Confirm before payment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rejuran Healer, genuine 2cc | ₩150,000–₩450,000 | 1–3 days | Product variant, exact volume, hand injection/device, numbing and aftercare |
| Shurink Universe, about 300 shots | ₩70,000–₩350,000 | 0–2 days | Actual console, cartridge depths, shot allocation and treatment area |
| Ultherapy / Ultherapy Prime, about 300 shots | ₩600,000–₩1,500,000 | 0–2 days; soreness may last longer | Prime vs classic console, authentic transducer, imaging and physician involvement |
| Aqua Peel, one basic session | ₩29,000–₩90,000 | Usually none to mild same-day sensitivity | Number of peel steps, extraction, LED/mask, trial eligibility and VAT |
| Forehead Botox, one area | ₩19,000–₩120,000 | Usually none; bruising is possible | Korean vs imported toxin, units used and whether the quote is per area or per unit |
Clinic-tier clarification: The prices above reflect standardized, high-volume network-clinic rates. Bespoke private or one-on-one practices that include longer director consultations, individualized device design, or physician continuity commonly charge 30%–50% more—and sometimes beyond that range. The premium pays for a different service model, not automatically a better medical outcome.
What Changes the Final Quote
The headline number is only useful when the comparison unit matches. A Rejuran “full-face” package might contain more than 2cc. A low Shurink price may cover fewer shots or a smaller treatment area. Ultherapy pricing can change dramatically based on the console generation, authentic transducer use, and shot allocation. Aqua Peel packages may add extraction, LED, or a soothing mask.
Ask the clinic’s official channel to confirm these items in writing:
- Exact product or device name and treatment area
- Dose, volume, units, or shot count
- Numbing and aftercare inclusions
- Doctor consultation or treatment-design involvement
- Final price including 10% VAT
Avoid treating a broker’s headline offer as the final clinic price. Book through an official clinic channel and retain the written quote and payment receipt.
Network Clinic or Private Practice?
Choose a standard network clinic when you already understand the treatment, want a routine protocol, and prioritize price and scheduling. It can be practical for a basic Aqua Peel, a familiar Botox area, or repeat maintenance treatment.
Consider a private one-on-one practice when diagnosis, facial-anatomy judgment, customized energy settings, or continuity with the same physician matters more than the lowest price. Complex filler design, combination treatments, and concerns with a medical history deserve more consultation time.

Foreigner FAQ
Is 10% VAT separate from the advertised price?
It can be. Many promotional menus show a VAT-exclusive amount. Ask “이 가격에 부가세 포함인가요?” (“Is VAT included in this price?”) and request the final tax-inclusive total before payment. The former foreign-tourist VAT refund for eligible cosmetic procedures ended after December 31, 2025, so do not budget around an airport refund in 2026.
Can I pay with a foreign Visa, Mastercard, or AMEX?
Many foreigner-facing Seoul clinics accept physical Visa, Mastercard, and American Express cards. Acceptance still depends on the clinic’s terminal and your card issuer. Enable overseas transactions, carry a second physical card, and ask the clinic to confirm your card network before the appointment.
How much downtime should I leave?
- Aqua Peel: usually no formal downtime, though sensitive skin can look temporarily pink.
- Botox: usually no visible downtime; temporary redness or bruising can occur.
- Shurink or Ultherapy: often 0–2 days of redness, tenderness, or swelling; soreness may last longer.
- Rejuran: visible injection bumps, redness, or pinpoint bruising commonly require 1–3 days.
These are planning ranges, not personal medical clearance. Follow the treating clinician’s instructions, particularly before a flight, strenuous exercise, sauna use, or an important photo event.
The Bottom Line
A credible quote is not merely a low number. It identifies the exact product or device, dose or shot count, treatment area, physician involvement, aftercare, and VAT-inclusive total. Compare like with like, and choose the clinic model that matches the amount of medical judgment your treatment requires.
