Treatment guides from a clinic in Myeongdong, Seoul

How Treatment Pricing Works

We do not publish prices here, because they change and because a number without its unit tells you nothing. What is worth knowing is the unit each treatment is sold in, which is what makes two quotes comparable.

The unit is the thing

Each treatment is sold in a unit, and the unit is what you compare.

Treatment Usual unit What to ask
Botulinum toxin Units of product How many units, which brand
Fillers Syringes (cc) How many syringes, which product
Skin boosters Sessions, sometimes vials How many sessions in the course
Focused ultrasound Lines (shots) per depth How many lines, which depths, which zones
Monopolar RF Shots per tip How many shots, which tip
Microneedling RF Sessions How many sessions, what depth range
Lasers Sessions, sometimes passes How many sessions, what the interval is
Clinic programmes Sessions What is included in each session

A quote that names the treatment but not the unit is not a quote you can compare.

Why the same name can mean different treatments

“Full face lifting” can mean three hundred lines or half that. “Botox for the forehead” can mean a conservative dose or a heavy one. Both differences show up in the result rather than in the consultation, which is why the number matters more than the name.

This is also why the cheapest option is often not cheap per unit. Work out what you are getting per unit and the comparison usually resolves itself.

What is not in the headline number

  • Consultation, which some clinics charge for and deduct from treatment.
  • Numbing cream and aftercare, usually included but worth confirming.
  • Follow-up or review, which matters most to visitors and is the thing to ask about explicitly.
  • Touch-ups, and under what circumstances they are free.

Four questions that make a quote useful

  1. What is the unit, and how many am I getting?
  2. Which product or device, and which setting family?
  3. Is a review included, and when?
  4. What would a second session cost if the first is not enough?

Where prices are

On the clinic site, which is the only place they are maintained. What this site does is make sure that when you get a number, you know what it is a number of.

FAQ

Why does this site not list prices?

Because they change, and a page that is quietly out of date is worse than no page. The clinic site keeps its own prices current.

Is the cheapest quote usually a smaller treatment?

Very often, yes. A lower price with the same treatment name generally means fewer units, fewer shots, or a shorter session. Comparing the unit rather than the headline is the whole skill here.

Should I ask for a written quotation?

Yes, itemised, before you consent. It protects both sides and it makes the consultation more precise.

Do package deals save money?

They can, if you would have had every session anyway and you will be in the country for them. A package for a course you cannot finish is not a saving.
