What Influences the Price
Several factors can affect Botox cost in Korea:
- Brand of botulinum toxin: Korean brands (e.g., Nabota, Botulax, Meditoxin) are generally more affordable than imported brands (e.g., Botox® by Allergan or Xeomin®).
- Clinic reputation and location: Premium clinics in areas like Gangnam may charge more than smaller local clinics.
- Number of treatment areas and units: More areas or stronger muscles (jawline) require more units.
- Promotions and packages: Many clinics offer promotional pricing or multi-area discounts.
Comparison with Other Countries
Botox in Korea is notably more affordable than in many Western countries. For example:
- U.S. typical per-area costs often range higher (several hundred dollars).
- Korean pricing often ranges 50% or more lower without compromising quality.
What’s Usually Included
Most clinics include:
- Consultation and treatment plan
- Injection administration
- Follow-up advice
Always verify whether consultation and follow-up are included in the quoted price.
Final Takeaway
Botox in Korea remains very competitively priced, with typical facial treatments often well under what patients might pay in the U.S. or Europe. Prices per area often start from around ₩40,000–₩80,000 KRW for basic facial zones and go up for larger or specialized areas like the jawline.
