What skin treatments cost in Korea, in real numbers

Prices vary by clinic and technology. These five categories give a realistic range for planning a budget.

1. Laser treatments

Fraxel, IPL, and Pico laser run $150-$500 per session. CO2 laser for scars or acne runs $200-$600. A price well above these ranges is worth asking about before you assume it’s better equipment.

2. Botox and fillers

Botox for jaw, forehead, or crow’s feet runs $50-$200 per area, priced by the number of units used rather than a flat fee. Dermal fillers run $200-$600 per syringe, and the price usually reflects the brand of filler as much as the clinic.

3. Skin boosters

Rejuran, Profhilo, and similar treatments run $300-$800 per session. Multiple sessions are usually needed for the effect to last, so ask the clinic how many they recommend before estimating the total cost.

4. Acne and pore treatments

Deep-cleansing facials run $50-$150. Chemical peels and aqua peels run $80-$300.

5. Custom or premium programs

Multi-session plans run $500-$2,000. Clinics built around a well-known doctor often charge 30-50% more for the same core treatment.

Ask what’s included before comparing two quotes on price alone.
