Korean skin treatment prices: the market ranges
Search for prices and every clinic shows a different number. What follows is not any clinic’s price list but market ranges from public data. Knowing the range tells you where a quote sits. We carry no clinic advertising or affiliations.
Before you read the tables
- The ranges are market data, checked in August 2026. They are not any specific clinic’s prices.
- The same treatment moves within and beyond these ranges with intensity, shot count, volume and sessions. See what sets the price.
- 10% VAT is added to quoted amounts. The VAT refund for foreign visitors ended on 1 January 2026.
- Dollar figures are approximate (₩100,000 ≈ US$72, August 2026).
The current ranges are not a statistical sample and do not report a median. The raw rows and sample size behind each number were not retained completely.

Lifting and firmness
| Treatment | Market range | Approx. (USD) | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shurink Universe | ₩150k–500k | $110–360 | 300–600 shots |
| Ultherapy | ₩1.0m–2.5m | $720–1,800 | 300–600 shots |
| Thermage | ₩1.5m–3.5m | $1,080–2,520 | 600 shots |
| InMode | ₩150k–400k | $110–290 | by area and mode |
Ultrasound and RF differ not in name but in the layer they reach. Ultherapy, Thermage or Shurink covers which one fits.
Botulinum toxin, fillers and boosters
| Treatment | Market range | Approx. (USD) | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Botulinum toxin (Korean) | ₩30k–100k | $22–72 | per wrinkle area |
| Filler | ₩200k–500k | $145–360 | per 1cc |
| Skin booster | ₩150k–450k | $110–325 | per session |
| Rejuran | ₩250k–500k | $180–360 | per 2cc |
For injectables, volume sets the price more than brand. Two quotes only compare if the cc count matches.
Lasers and pigment
| Treatment | Market range | Approx. (USD) | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Laser toning | ₩50k–150k | $36–110 | per session · 5–10 |
| Pico toning | ₩100k–300k | $72–215 | per session · 3–6 |
| Fractional laser | ₩150k–500k | $110–360 | per session |
| RF microneedling | ₩250k–500k | $180–360 | per session |
Pigment work is usually done over several sessions, so the total count matters more than the per-session price. It is also an area where lower and repeated beats strong and single: see why aggressive melasma treatment backfires.
Working out the final amount
Your final payment is the quote plus 10% VAT. Until 2025 foreign visitors could claim a refund on departure; that ended on 1 January 2026. Ask first whether a quote already includes VAT.

Below the range, check whether volume, shots or sessions were trimmed. Above it, ask what more is included. Either way, a clinic that answers specifically is the one to trust.

These are aggregated market figures, not a price list. Your actual quote depends on your skin and the treatment plan, decided at consultation.
Is Gangnam more expensive?
Location plays a part, but within one district the spread from intensity and composition is usually bigger. Area alone tells you little.
Do prices change often?
They move with devices and competition. These ranges were checked in August 2026 and will be updated on major shifts.
