3 myths about getting skincare treatment in Korea as a foreigner

Thinking about a skincare treatment in Korea but worried about what you’ve heard? Here are three common myths.

1. Myth: Korean skincare treatments are only for Koreans

Many clinics work with international clients regularly and offer treatments customized to different skin types and concerns.

2. Myth: You can’t get treatment without speaking Korean

Major clinics have English-speaking staff, translators, and online booking in multiple languages.

3. Myth: Foreigners pay more for treatments

Aesthetic procedures like Botox, fillers, and laser treatments are usually priced the same for locals and foreigners. Insurance-covered treatments can differ, since foreign visitors typically aren’t on Korean national insurance.
