Important Booking Tips

• VAT Refund Policy: Most skin treatments for foreign tourists qualify for a VAT refund of approximately 7-8%. Always bring your physical passport to the clinic to receive the necessary paperwork for the airport or immediate on-site refund.
• Consultation Fees: Expect to pay ₩10,000 – ₩50,000 for a consultation. This is almost always waived if you proceed with a treatment.
• Sedation Fees: For painful treatments like Ultherapy or intensive boosters, sleep anesthesia or sedation usually adds ₩100,000 – ₩200,000 to your bill.
• Clinic Types: High-volume clinics (often in Myeongdong/Hongdae) are the most budget-friendly, while boutique clinics (Gangnam/Cheongdam) provide more one-on-one time with the doctor and typically charge 30% to 50% more.
