“How much does it actually cost to go to Doctors for dermatology treatment?” Have you ever had this experience when doing research online? You search for prices, and you find that the same treatment can have vastly different prices from various sources, leaving you unsure whom to trust. The reason for this is that many of these prices are not up-to-date, do not reflect the same cost in China and South Korea, do not include tax refunds, and in some cases, even refer to “trial package” prices rather than full-face treatment prices. Today, we present the latest 2026 version of Doctors’ complete pricing list for Dermatology treatments. From basic skincare to advanced anti-aging procedures, this list includes price ranges for all mainstream treatments, comparisons of prices between China and South Korea, and the actual costs after tax refunds. All of this information is based on publicly available data that shows the same prices in both countries. My goal is not to tell you the lowest price possible – instead, I want to help you ensure that you spend the right amount of money on the right treatments at the right clinics👇

In summary: Basic medical treatments in the medical beauty industry cost approximately 30,000 to 150,000 Korean won (150 to 750 yuan), phototherapy treatments range from 250,000 to 1.2 million Korean won (1,250 to 6,000 yuan), while anti-aging treatments cost 450,000 to 4.5 million Korean won (2,250 to 22,500 yuan). With the same prices as in China and on-site tax refunds, the actual cost is 40% to 50% lower than that in China.
I. Price List of Doctors in South Korea: An Overview of the Pricing System
1. Price positioning: Doctors Dermatology falls into the mid-to-high-end price range in Gangnam District. Its fees are 15–25% higher than those of ordinary general practice clinics, but 30–50% lower than those of top-tier private clinics. The price includes consultations by specialized Dermatology doctors, use of original equipment, one-on-one services provided without a mass treatment format, and the accompaniment of a full-time Chinese-speaking staff member.
2. Factors Affecting Prices: The price differences for the same treatment at different clinics are determined by four key factors: the qualifications of the doctors (specialists versus general practitioners), the brand of equipment used (original manufacturers versus knock-offs), the scope of the treatment (full face versus partial areas), and the number of hair follicles treated/dosage administered (adequate amount versus reduced dose). Doctors at our clinic adhere to the highest standards in all these aspects, which ensures that our prices are competitive within the industry.
3. Equal prices in China and Korea and tax refunds: Doctors adheres to a strict policy of equal prices in both China and Korea, with all prices being clearly displayed and transparent. After making a purchase, customers can directly apply for a tax refund at the clinic (amounting to approximately 7-10%), resulting in an actual price that is even lower than the listed price. All prices listed below are the listed prices before tax refunds are applied.

II. Price list of South Korea doctors: Basic care services (30,000 – 150,000 South Korean won)
1. Bubble Cleansing (30,000 – 80,000 Korean won, approximately 150 – 400 yuan): This is the most basic skin care treatment, suitable for daily cleansing and maintenance. Professional equipment is used to remove oil and dead skin cells from the Pores, leaving the skin feeling instantly clearer. Doctors’ Bubble Cleansing uses original equipment with adjustable water pressure and suction, so it does not damage the stratum corneum like cheaper treatments at other clinics.
2. Hydration management/glow injection (50,000 – 150,000 South Korean won, approximately 250 – 750 yuan): This is considered a “must-do” treatment in South Korea’s basic hydration routines. Doctors use high-frequency ultrasound devices to deliver essential ingredients deep into the skin, resulting in effects 3 – 5 times more significant than applying them topically. This treatment is especially suitable for those experiencing dry skin, peeling, or poor makeup adherence during season changes.
3. Acne management/soothing care (80,000 – 200,000 South Korean won, approximately 400 – 1,000 yuan): Specialized care for skin with acne or sensitive skin, including deep cleansing, anti-inflammatory and soothing treatments, as well as barrier repair. Doctors in South Korea generally have a relatively complete range of equipment and products available for this type of treatment, making it an excellent entry-point option for customers who are new to Korean skin care services.

III. Price list for medical beauty treatments in South Korea: Photothermal treatments (250,000 – 1.2 million South Korean won)
1. Pico laser freckle removal (300,000 – 800,000 Korean won per session, approximately 1,500 – 4,000 yuan per session): One of the core strengths of these doctors. The Picoway/PicoSure devices used are both original and genuine, and the energy settings are adjusted on-site by the clinic director according to your skin tone and the type of freckles you have. Generally, 2 – 4 sessions are required for a complete treatment course, with each session spaced 4 – 6 weeks apart. This price range is considered normal among clinics in Gangnam that use original equipment.
2. Photorejuvenation/IPL (250,000 – 600,000 KRW per session, approximately 1,250 – 3,000 RMB per session): This is a multi-purpose treatment that can improve uneven skin tone, reduce the appearance of capillaries, and Pore tightening. It is suitable for customers who do not have specific skin issues but wish to Lifting their overall skin quality. The photorejuvenation equipment used by Doctors is imported directly from the manufacturer, and it comes with a wide range of filters, allowing for the selection of different wavelengths to address various skin concerns.
3. CO2 laser treatment (500,000 – 1.2 million Korean won per session, approximately 2,500 – 6,000 yuan per session): This is a powerful treatment option for acne scars, enlarged Pores, and deep wrinkles. The recovery period is relatively long (about 5 – 7 days until the scabs fall off), but the results are significant. Doctors at Doctors can precisely control the intensity of the CO2 laser, adjusting it according to your tolerance and recovery needs.
IV. Price list for medical treatments in South Korea: Injection treatments (80,000 to 800,000 South Korean won)
1. Glow injection (80,000 – 300,000 South Korean won per session, approximately 400 – 1,500 yuan per session): This is the most popular basic injection treatment in South Korea. Doctors use genuine original medications for these injections, and the authenticity of the products can be verified by scanning QR codes on-site. The price varies depending on the ingredients used (basic glow injection, or injections containing whitening/anti-aging ingredients, etc.).
2. Rejuran injections (150,000 – 400,000 South Korean won per session, approximately 750 – 2,000 yuan per session): This is a high-end brand originating from South Korea, with PN (polynucleotides) as its core ingredient. It is primarily used for deep tissue repair and anti-aging purposes. Doctors use genuine Rejuran products from the manufacturer, and the number of injection sessions and the dosage are carefully determined by the clinic director based on the results of a face consultation.
3. Filler injections (200,000 – 800,000 South Korean won per treatment area, approximately 1,000 – 4,000 yuan per treatment area): This service includes injections for areas such as the Tear trough correction, Nasolabial Fold Correction, chin, and Apple Zone. Doctors use genuine Filler products certified by South Korea’s KFDA, and the injections are performed personally by the clinic director.

V. Price list of South Korea doctors: Anti-aging treatments (450,000 to 4.5 million South Korean won)
1. Thermage FLX full-face treatment (1.5 million to 3 million Korean won, approximately 7,500 to 15,000 yuan): The Thermage FLX model used by Doctors is the latest version from the manufacturer, equipped with AccuREP intelligent energy technology and a Total Tip 4.0 probe. The price includes a sufficient number of treatment sessions (around 600 to 900 sessions for the full face, depending on the area being treated), ensuring that the number of sessions does not decrease over time. In China, similar devices cost approximately 20,000 to 35,000 yuan for the full-face treatment, making Doctors’ pricing 40% to 50% of the domestic market rate.
2. American version Ultherapy for the entire face (800,000 – 2,000,000 Korean won, approximately 4,000 – 10,000 yuan): This treatment provides deep lifting effects on the SMAS fascia layer. Doctors use the original American version of Ultherapy equipment, which comes with real-time imaging capabilities. This allows doctors to monitor the depth of energy delivery in real time and adjust the parameters accordingly. Compared to blind operations, this approach significantly enhances both safety and precision.
3. Titanium Lifting/Inmode Titanium Ultrasound Therapy (450,000 – 1,500,000 Korean won, approximately 2,250 – 7,500 yuan): This next-generation skin tightening device delivers more precise energy, less discomfort, and a shorter recovery time. It is suitable for customers under 35 years of age with mild to moderate skin laxity, and can be used as a supplementary treatment between Thermage/Hyperthermic Lift procedures or as part of an anti-aging maintenance routine.
VI. Price List of Doctors in South Korea: Techniques and Equipment Used by Hospital Directors – The Core Values Behind These Prices
1. With the same equipment, the results achieved by different doctors can vary dramatically – this is the most easily overlooked but ultimately most important factor contributing to price differences. Take Thermage FLX for example: the difference in expertise between specialized doctors and general practitioners who have switched to this treatment can be seen in the personalized settings of energy parameters, the rational distribution of treatment intensity, and the precise targeting of key areas. Both of our doctors are specialized Dermatology experts with the ability to customize treatment settings according to individual skin types – something you simply won’t find at lower-priced clinics.
2. The authenticity and model of the equipment determine the upper limit of the treatment effect: Many low-cost clinics use “Oligio” or “imitated HIFU devices” to replace original equipment in order to reduce costs. The actual energy output of these devices is only 50-70% of that of the original models, meaning the effectiveness of the treatment is halved. In addition, unstable energy output may lead to burns. All of Doctors’ equipment is genuine original product, and we offer on-site scanning for verification—this is simply an additional safety measure included in the price.
3. Cost differences due to varying numbers of treatments/dosages: Some clinics adopt a low-price strategy by reducing the number of treatments or dosages. For example, a supposedly inexpensive “full-face Thermage” treatment may actually only involve 300-400 treatments (when the standard should be 600-900), or hyaluronic acid injections may use only half the recommended dosage. Doctors strictly follow the standard procedures, avoiding any reduction in the number of treatments or dosages.
VII. Price List of Doctors in South Korea: Comparison of Prices between China and South Korea – Why Have Procedures Performed in South Korea?
1. Differences in equipment costs: Although both are original and genuine equipment from the manufacturer, the depreciation and maintenance costs of equipment in South Korea-based clinics are lower than those in China. This is due to the larger scale of the medical aesthetics market, more efficient equipment circulation, and lower import tariffs. This cost advantage is directly reflected in the prices.
2. Competitive environment: In a single district of Gangnam alone, there are over 30 Dermatology clinics. Fierce market competition forces these clinics to maintain reasonable pricing levels. In first- and second-tier cities in China, the cost of similar equipment and specialized medical services is typically 2 to 3 times that of South Korea.
3. Comprehensive comparison: The prices offered by Doctors are approximately 40-50% lower than those of similar services in China (which include specialized doctors and original equipment). Taking the Thermage FLX full-face treatment as an example, the cost at Doctors ranges from 1.5 to 3 million Korean won (7,500 to 15,000 yuan, or even less after tax deductions), while the equivalent service in China costs around 20,000 to 35,000 yuan. This price difference is more than enough to cover the costs of round-trip airfare and accommodation.
VIII. FAQ on Prices of Doctors in South Korea: Common Questions from Customers (Actual Conversations)
Q: Are these prices the latest ones? Will they change when I go to the clinic?
A: Th
e prices listed above are based on the data published by Doctors on the BeautsGO platform in 2026, which show the same prices in China and South Korea and serve as a reference range. The actual price will be determined according to the treatment plan agreed upon during the in-person consultation. However, there will be no such practices as “increasing prices on-site” or “adding extra fees.” For Doctors, online pricing being equal to the in-clinic fee is a fundamental principle. For the most accurate prices, please check the real-time information on BeautsGO.
Q: How much can I get back in tax refunds? And how do I go about it
?
A: The tax refund rate is approximately 7-10% of the amount spent. For example, if you spend 1 million Korean won, you will get back around 700,000 to 1 million Korean won in tax refunds, meaning you will actually pay only 900,000 to 930,000 Korean won. The tax refund process can be done at the tax refund machines inside Doctors Hospital, so there’s no need to queue at the airport. Don’t forget to bring your passport.
Q: I want to undergo Thermage treatment, but my budget is limited. Are there any alternative opt
ions? A: Yes. If your skin’s sagging is mild (you are under 35 years old), Titanium Lifting (costing 450,000 to 1.5 million Korean won) or the Inmode Platinum Ultrasound Gun offer a better cost-performance ratio. Although the results are not as long-lasting as those of Thermage, the price is only 30% to 50% of Thermage’s cost. During your consultation, ask the clinic director to help you determine the most suitable option for you.
Q: Why does Pico laser treatment for freckles require multiple sessions? Can’t it be done in just one sessio
n?
A: The principle of Pico laser is to break down pigment particles, which are then eliminated by the body through metabolic processes. Each treatment can only remove a portion of the pigment. For deeper freckles, such as chloasma or nevus of Ota, 2 to 4 sessions are usually required to see significant improvement. Attempting to remove all the pigment in just one session may instead irritate the skin and cause the pigment to become darker. The recommended multi-session treatment plan by doctors is a reflection of professional expertise, not an attempt to earn more money.
Q: How much more expensive are the services at the Banpo branch compared to the mai
n campus?
A: Some of the high-end treatments at the Banpo branch are approximately 5-10% more expensive than those at the main campus, while the prices for basic treatments remain ILCHI. The additional cost is mainly due to the VIP environment and more private service experience offered at the Banpo branch. If you are sensitive to prices, it is advisable to choose the Apgujeong main campus, as there is no essential difference in treatment outcomes.
Q: What are the payment methods? Can I use UnionPay?
A
: Doctors accepts cash (Korean won), credit cards (VISA/MasterCard/UnionPay), and some also support WeChat Pay and Alipay. It is recommended to use UnionPay or credit cards, as the exchange rates are more favorable. Please keep the receipt after payment for tax refunds at the clinic.
