What changes the price

  • Brand: Korean toxins (Botulax, Nabota, Coretox) cost far less than Xeomin or Allergan.
  • Refined versus standard Korean toxin; refined products without complexing proteins cost more.
  • Number of areas and units per area.
  • Skin Botox (shallow micro-injections) is priced as a full-face treatment.
  • Event and first-visit prices.

What a quote usually includes

  • Brief doctor consultation
  • Toxin for the agreed area
  • Numbing cream or ice on request

Costs people forget

  • 10% VAT if the menu price is quoted before tax (common on clinic websites; app listings usually include it)
  • Touch-up injections after two weeks, if not included
  • No tourist VAT refund on cosmetic procedures since 1 Jan 2026; a bill to restore it until 2029 was filed in Aug 2026 but had not passed when checked

How to avoid overpaying

  • Ask for the brand and the number of units on the receipt.
  • Ask to see the vial or box opened for you.
  • A 9,900 KRW price is almost always a Korean economy toxin for one area.
  • Ask whether a free touch-up at two weeks is included.

Botox cost questions

What is the price gap between Korean Botox and Allergan in Gangnam?

One area with a Korean toxin is about 9,900-40,000 KRW. The same area with Allergan is about 120,000-300,000 KRW.

Is Xeomin priced closer to Korean toxin or Allergan?

In between. Gangnam menus list Xeomin-type 'imported refined' toxin from about 59,000 KRW per area.

What does 'one area' cover on a Botox menu?

Usually the forehead, the frown lines between the brows, or the crow's feet. Each counts separately.

How can I check which toxin was used?

Ask to see the vial before injection and for the brand name on your receipt.

Is skin Botox the same price as wrinkle Botox?

No. Skin Botox treats the whole face with many shallow injections and costs about 120,000-360,000 KRW.

Is a touch-up included in the Botox price?

Some clinics include a check at two weeks, others charge. Ask before treatment if you will still be in Seoul.
