Botox in Seoul

Korean clinics usually price botulinum toxin per area (jaw, forehead, etc.) rather than per unit, and posted prices vary a lot between clinics and neighborhoods. The price figures on this page are prices advertised on clinics' own websites (often event/starting prices) — always confirm the final quote, brand, and dosage with the clinic before booking.

Strictly speaking, "Botox" is one brand (Allergan). Korean clinics also use domestically produced botulinum toxin brands approved by Korea's MFDS — for example Nabota (sold in the US as Jeuveau, FDA-approved 2019) and Botulax (US name Letybo, FDA-approved 2024). Imported and domestic brands are usually listed at different prices, so ask which brand a quote refers to.

No — skin botox (sometimes called dermotoxin) injects diluted toxin superficially across the skin instead of into specific muscles. Korean clinics list it as a separate menu item with its own price, commonly marketed for skin texture and pores. Whether it suits you is a consultation question for the doctor.

Two structural reasons: Korea has an unusually dense market of aesthetic clinics competing on posted prices, and several toxin brands are manufactured domestically, which lowers supply cost. Note that quality of care still varies clinic by clinic — a low posted price tells you about the market, not about a specific doctor.

Clinic guidance we collect generally lists botulinum toxin as a no-downtime, "fly same day" treatment (see the facts above). Individual circumstances differ, so confirm timing with the treating doctor during consultation — especially if you are combining it with other procedures.
