2026 Price List for Microcosmetic Procedures in South Korea Released! Rejuran PN 2 centum core costs 250,000 KRW, Ulthrea costs 350,000 KRW, and Potenza costs 149,000 KRW

The price list for microcosmetic procedures in South Korea for 2026 has finally been released! The Rejuran PN 2 centum core pack starts at just 250,000 KRW in Gangnam, Seoul, while the Ulthrea package with 100 shots costs 350,000 KRW. Even the introductory price for the Potenza treatment is as low as 149,000 KRW—these figures sent shockwaves through China’s medical aesthetics community. Compared to domestic prices where the Rejuran PN costs anywhere from 3,000 to 4,000 RMB, the Ulthrea treatment runs over 10,000 RMB for a full-face treatment, and the Potenza procedure costs 4,000 to 5,000 RMB per session, South Korean prices are almost half—or even lower. What’s even more appealing is that these are merely the listed prices; customers can save an additional 15%-30% by choosing package deals. In this article, we’ll break down in detail the latest price list for all microcosmetic procedures in South Korea as of June 2026—ranging from Rejuran to Thermage, from HIFU to Potenza, from Botox to Filler, with every cost clearly explained. After reading this, you can decide whether a trip to South Korea is really worth it.

I. 2026 Price List for Microcosmetic Procedures in South Korea Released! Rejuran PN 2cc starts at 250,000 KRW – Price Comparison across Gangnam/Hongdae/Myeongdong

1. Rejuran PN (Rejuran Healer) 2cc: 250,000–350,000 KRW in Gangnam, with the lowest price of 100,000–150,000 KRW in Busan/Hongdae

Rejuran PN is considered the “national hydrating treatment” in South Korea’s medical aesthetics industry. Its key ingredient, PN polynucleotide, is extracted from salmon DNA, and it is renowned for its ability to provide deep-level repair, firm up the entire face, and combat aging. According to the latest price list released in 2026, at reputable large-scale Dermatology clinics in Gangnam such as THE BEAUTY and CHEONGDAM ANZ, a 2cc pack of Rejuran PN costs between 250,000 and 350,000 South Korean won; however, promotional prices in areas like Busan and the Hongdae shopping district can drop as low as 100,000 to 150,000 won. But when prices are this low, it’s important to be cautious about whether the product is genuine and contains the proper amount of active ingredients—packs priced below 100,000 won are likely to be diluted versions or non-original products.

2. The White Box version costs around 250,000 KRW per 1 cc (for eye areas), while the Blue Box version is priced at about 280,000 KRW per 1 cc (for acne-prone skin). All prices for each variant are fully disclosed.

Besides the Black Box version, the IRejuran 1cc (regeneration, fine wrinkle improvement) in its White Box version—specifically designed for eye area repair, Dark circle treatment, and Tear trough correction—is priced at around 250,000 Korean won (approximately ¥1,350) per centum core. The Blue Box version, used for acne scar repair and Pore tightening, costs about 280,000 Korean won per centum core (around ¥1,512). Some clinics offer Rejuran packages; for instance, CHEONGDAM ANZ’s 4-centum core Black Box package is available for just 3,900 RMB, which is more cost-effective than purchasing it individually, and it even comes with a post-treatment soothing mask. Generally, prices are higher in Gangnam but ensure better quality, while Hongdae and Myeongdong offer lower prices but require careful selection.

3. Domestic price comparison: Domestic black-box 2cc models cost around ¥2,980–6,000, while those from South Korea can save you 50%-70%.

At legitimate medical aesthetics clinics in China, the price for 2 cc of Rejuran PN typically ranges from 2,980 to 6,000 RMB. Even when including flight costs (around 1,500–3,000 RMB round-trip), going to South Korea for a Rejuran PN treatment along with other procedures can result in savings of up to 50%-70% per treatment. For example, in Gangnam, where the cost is 250,000 KRW (about ¥1,350), you can save as much as ¥1,650 compared to the lowest price of ¥3,000 in China.

II. 2026 Price List for Micro-esthetic Procedures in South Korea Released! Detailed Prices for Ulthrea Full-Face, Partial, and 100-Shot Treatments

1. The Ulthrea version of the HIFU starts at 350,000 KRW for 100 sessions, with a full-face treatment costing around 1.1–2 million KRW.

The Ulthrea is the FDA-approved gold standard for non-invasive SMAS layer lifting. According to the price list released in 2026, at 100 shots, reputable clinics in Gangnam charge between 300,000 and 400,000 Korean won. A full-face treatment (covering the Forehead, mid and lower face, as well as the jawline) typically requires 300–600 shots, with a total cost of around 1.1 million to 2 million Korean won (approximately ¥5,940–10,800). For targeted treatments, lifting the jawline along with addressing a Double Chin costs about 800,000 to 1.5 million Korean won (around ¥4,320–8,100), while neck lifting ranges from 1 million to 2 million Korean won (approximately ¥5,400–10,800).

2. Differences and price gaps between the second-generation Ulthrea (Ultherapy Prime) and the first generation

Since 2024, the second generation of the Ulthrea—introduced in South Korea—has seen significant improvements in image clarity and energy delivery efficiency. According to data released by THE BEAUTY Dermatology, the first generation costs 300,000 South Korean won per 100 shots, while the second generation costs 400,000 won per 100 shots, representing a price difference of around 100,000 won per 100 shots. In terms of actual usage, the second generation reduces treatment time by about 30%, causes less discomfort, and provides longer-lasting results. For those with sufficient budget, it’s recommended to go straight for the second generation.

3. US-version vs Korean-version HIFU: One is an FDA-approved original device, while the other is a locally produced OEM version.

The Korean version of the HIFU device costs only around 100,000 won per 100 shots (approximately ¥540), which is about one-third of the price of the American version. However, the key difference lies in the fact that the American version utilizes real-time ultrasound visualization to accurately pinpoint the SMAS layer and ensure energy is delivered at the correct depth, while the Korean version lacks such visualization guidance and relies entirely on the doctor’s skill. In terms of duration of results, the American version provides effects that last around 1–1.5 years, compared to 6–8 months for the Korean version. The price difference stems from technological disparities, so it’s recommended to opt for the American version if you’re looking for optimal anti-aging and lifting results.

III. 2026 Price List for Micro-Beauty Treatments in South Korea Released! Comprehensive Overview of the Entry-Level Potenza Treatment at 149,000 KRW

1. The introductory price for the Potenza treatment starts at 149,000 KRW, while the full-face premium version costs 350,000–390,000 KRW.

RF Microneedling, also known as Potenza, is the hottest treatment in South Korea in 2026 for improving Pores and acne scars. According to the latest price list, the introductory version of Potenza (with a basic probe and treatment for one area) costs as low as 149,000 Korean won (approximately ¥804), making it ideal for addressing localized issues such as enlarged Pores on both sides of the nose. The standard and premium full-face treatment packages range from 350,000 to 390,000 Korean won (around ¥1,890–2,106), and they utilize a combination of different probes (N-25/I-25/CP-25 Pumping) to provide comprehensive improvement for Pores, acne scars, and overall skin quality across the entire face.

2. Price comparison of Potenza treatments at different clinics: VSline at 260,000, Cheongdam Elev at 340,000, and beauty pleasure at 600,000

There are significant price differences for Potenza treatments at leading Dermatology clinics in Gangnam District: VSline Dermatology charges around 260,000 Korean won (approximately ¥1,404), while Cheongdam Elev Dermatology charges about 340,000 Korean won (around ¥1,836) for a package that includes a specialized probe. Beauty pleasure Dermatology’s Potenza probe package costs around 600,000 Korean won (approximately ¥3,240). These price variations stem mainly from the type and number of probes used (a basic probe versus a combination of multiple functional probes) as well as whether post-treatment care is included. The introductory package priced at 149,000 Korean won usually comes with just a single basic probe and short-term treatment on specific areas, making it ideal for first-time users.

3. The combined package of Potenza and HIFU costs 880,000 KRW, saving about 15% compared to purchasing them separately.

Some clinics are offering combined packages that feature Potenza and HIFU, with a total cost of around 880,000 Korean won (approximately ¥4,752). Booking these treatments separately usually costs over 1,040,000 Korean won. Not only does the combined package save money, but it also delivers a better synergistic effect—the HIFU first lifts the deeper SMAS layers, while Potenza addresses Pores in the epidermal layer, allowing for comprehensive anti-aging treatment that targets every level from the underlying tissues to the surface Pores. A trend set to gain momentum in 2026: combined packages are becoming increasingly popular, so it’s recommended to ask directly about such packages when seeking consultation.

IV. 2026 Price List for Microcosmetic Procedures in South Korea Released! Latest Rates for Thermage, Botox, Filler, and Hyaluronic Acid Treatments

1. Thermage FLX full-face treatment with 600 shots costs 1.49–2.1 million KRW; there’s a significant difference between the US version and the Korean version.

The American version of Thermage, FLX 600, for full-face treatment in Gangnam costs between 1.49 million and 2.1 million South Korean won (approximately ¥8,046–11,340). The version performed by a specialist focusing on the eye area can even reach over 2 million won. In contrast, the South Korean version, Oligio, only costs 600,000 to 750,000 South Korean won (about ¥3,240–4,050), less than half of the price of its American counterpart. While the FLX version features AccuREP smart energy regulation technology and CPT comfort pulses, the Oligio version lags significantly in terms of long-term effectiveness and comfort. Thermage is one of the most common treatments in South Korea where the number of sessions performed is exaggerated—be sure to verify during consultation that both the number of sessions and the probes used are genuine original products.

2. Botulinum toxins in South Korea: Botox costs around 80,000–120,000 KRW per treatment area, while Restylane costs about 50,000–70,000 KRW per treatment area.

The price of Botox in South Korea is significantly lower than in China. In the U.S., Botox costs around 80,000–120,000 Korean won per treatment site (approximately ¥432–648), while the locally produced Letybo in South Korea costs about 50,000–70,000 Korean won per site (around ¥270–378). In China, Botox typically ranges from 1,500 to 3,000 yuan per site, which is only one-fourth to one-third of the price in South Korea. For treatments on all three areas—forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines—the total cost in South Korea is around 240,000–360,000 Korean won (approximately ¥1,300–1,944), compared to 5,000–9,000 yuan in China.

Note: The prices listed above are reference rates for reputable Dermatology clinics in Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea, as of June 2026, and do not include a 10% VAT. For conversion, 10,000 South Korean won is approximately equivalent to 54 RMB.

V. 2026 Price List for Microcosmetic Procedures in South Korea Released! Why Are Procedures Cheaper in South Korea Than at Home? Three Key Reasons

1. Buy directly from the country of origin: Thermage/HIFU/Potenza – no customs duties or distributor markups in South Korea

For the American versions of Thermage and HIFU, the distribution process from the United States to China involves three tiers: general agents, provincial agents, and municipal agents, with each tier adding a price increase of 30–50%. In South Korea, however, the products are supplied directly by first-level agents. As one of the largest import markets for medical beauty equipment outside the U.S., South Korea allows for bulk purchases at more favorable prices. The final price of a Thermage FLX unit in China is roughly 2–3 times higher than that in South Korea, and this additional cost is reflected directly in the treatment price.

2. Market competition intensity: There are over 200 Dermatology clinics per square kilometer in Gangnam, driving prices down to rock-bottom levels.

In the Apgujeong/Sinsa areas of Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea, there is the highest concentration of Dermatology clinics in the world—over 200 per square kilometer. Intense competition forces these clinics to constantly compete with one another in terms of pricing, services, and technology. Special offers such as introductory prices for new clients, group discounts, and holiday packages are abundant. In contrast, the density of legitimate medical aesthetics institutions in China’s top cities is much lower than that in South Korea, resulting in less competition and significantly less price flexibility.

3. No “consultant commission”: South Korea’s doctors conduct face-to-face consultations without any additional fees from intermediaries

In domestic medical aesthetics clinics, the “consultant system” is commonly used — patients are first greeted by a consultant (who is not a doctor) during their in-person consultation. The consultant’s income mainly comes from sales commissions, which typically account for 15–30% of the treatment cost. Under South Korea’s Dermatology model, customers meet directly with doctors, who conduct the diagnosis and perform the procedures themselves, without any intermediaries taking a cut. This not only offers price advantages but also ensures that treatment plans are based on medical expertise rather than sales tactics.

VI. 2026 South Korea Micro-Beauty Pricing List Released! THE BEAUTY Unveils Authentic Prices for One-Stop Dermatology Services

1. THE BEAUTY Plastic Surgery & Dermatology: Transparent services available in both Korean and Chinese.

Located in Gangnam, Seoul, THE BEAUTY is a comprehensive medical aesthetics clinic renowned for its “transparent pricing.” All service prices are clearly listed on its official website and the BeautsGO platform, with no hidden fees. The clinic offers bilingual consultations in both Chinese and Korean, and accepts Alipay and WeChat Pay, making it the top choice for many Chinese customers visiting Korea.

2. Overview of Core Service Prices at THE BEAUTY

Project	Specifications	Korean Won Price	Around RMB
Rejuran PN	2 cc	350,000	¥1,890
Potenza Black Obsidian Dual-Wave Therapy	Single session	350,000	¥1,890
American Version of Thermage FLX	600 shots	2.1 million	¥11,340
2nd Generation Ulthrea	100 shots	400,000	¥2,160
Juvelook Glow Therapy	1 centum core	150,000	¥810
Filler (Juvederm)	1 tube	430,000	¥2,322

3. Booking notes: 10% VAT is applicable separately, and tax refunds are unavailable for 2026.

The prices listed above do not include a 10% value-added tax (VAT), which will be added automatically at the time of payment. By the end of 2025, South Korea will abolish the VAT refund policy for foreign patients undergoing cosmetic procedures, meaning actual costs will increase by around 10% starting in 2026. It is recommended to check the current prices and available packages through the BeautsGO platform before making an appointment.

VII. 2026 Price List for Microcosmetic Procedures in South Korea Released! Recommendations for Microcosmetic Treatment Plans Based on Different Budgets

1. Basic maintenance package (budget: ¥2,000–4,000): 1 session of Rejuran PN + 1 session of basic hyaluronic acid treatment

Ideal for customers aged 25–30 who are visiting Korea for the first time to try out medical treatments. The package includes 2cc of Rejuran PN (around ¥1,350) plus 2cc of basic hyaluronic acid injection (around ¥540), bringing the total treatment cost to approximately ¥1,890. Adding round-trip flight tickets (around ¥1,500–2,500), the overall budget falls within the range of ¥3,400–4,400. This single treatment can improve skin texture, brighten the complexion, and provide initial anti-aging effects, with results lasting around 3–6 months.

2. Firming and Anti-Aging Treatment Plan (budget: ¥8,000–12,000): 400 shots of Ulthrea + 1 session of Rejuran PN

Ideal for clients aged 30–40 who suffer from noticeable sagging and fine lines. The treatment costs around ¥10,000, including 400 shots of the Ulthrea (approximately ¥8,640) plus 2 centum core units of Rejuran PN (about ¥1,350). The Ulthrea works to lift and tighten the lower jawline and facial contours by targeting deeper SMAS layers, while Rejuran helps repair and brighten the epidermal layer. By combining these effects, the V-shaped face result can last 1–1.5 years after just one treatment.

3. Premium All-in-One Package (Budget: ¥15,000 and above): Thermage FLX with 600 shots + HIFU + Rejuran + collagen hydrating treatment

Perfect for clients aged 35 and above who seek comprehensive anti-aging solutions, this treatment package offers full-layer anti-aging care through both devices and injections in just one session. The cost includes 600 shots of Thermage FLX 600 (approximately ¥11,340) + 400 shots of HIFU (approximately ¥8,640) + Rejuran PN (approximately ¥1,350) + Asce+ Exosomes treatment (approximately ¥2,970), bringing the total treatment fee to around ¥24,300. In China, a single Thermage FLX session already costs between ¥25,000 and ¥35,000, so getting all four treatments together in South Korea is even more cost-effective.

VIII. 2026 Price List for Microcosmetic Procedures in South Korea Released! Top 6 Tips to Avoid Pitfalls Before Traveling to South Korea

1. Price trap: Be cautious if Rejuran is priced below 100,000, HIFU is under 250,000 per 100 shots, or Thermage is less than 1.2 million.

If a quote is 30% or more lower than the market average, there’s a high chance it stems from one of these issues: reused probes (the U.S. version uses disposable probes that cost around 80,000–100,000 KRW each), diluted or non-genuine products (authentic Rejuran PN injections cost approximately 150,000–180,000 KRW), or fewer treatments delivered than promised (Thermage claims 600 shots but actually delivers only 400). Keep this in mind: it’s true that prices in South Korea can be low, but if it’s excessively cheap, there’s definitely something wrong.

2. VAT and Tax Refunds: Starting in 2026, tax refunds for medical beauty treatments for foreigners will be abolished, with a 10% VAT that must be paid by the customer themselves.

By the end of 2025, South Korea officially ended its policy of refunding VAT for medical beauty treatments for foreign patients, meaning all international clients will have to pay 10% VAT starting in 2026. This means that the Rejuran PN, which is listed at 350,000 Korean won, will actually cost 385,000 Korean won upon payment. Some clinics include VAT in their quotes while others do not; be sure to confirm this when seeking information.

3. Translation surcharge: Booking through third-party translators or agencies may result in a 15-30% additional fee.

Appointments made through unofficial channels—such as WeChat intermediaries or travel agency translators—often come with a commission of 15–30%. The best approach is to book directly via legitimate platforms like BeautsGO, or to contact the clinic’s official KakaoTalk or WeChat account. Most large and medium-sized Dermatology clinics in Gangnam District have Chinese-speaking consultants, so there’s no need to pay extra for translation services.

4. Director’s Personal Care vs. Assembly Line Approach: Determine whether the practitioner is the director himself or a rotating doctor

The effectiveness of Potenza and HIFU highly depends on the skill of the practitioner. Some large clinics in Gangnam that focus on high-volume treatments use a “assembly-line approach” — the director conducts a brief 1-minute consultation before leaving, with younger doctors handling the actual procedures. It’s recommended to choose clinics that clearly state “100% personal treatment by the director” or to pay an additional fee designated by the director (usually 10–20% more) to ensure optimal results and safety.

5. Shoddy post-surgery care: Check whether sedating masks, light therapy, or regeneration treatments are included.

Some low-cost clinics, in an effort to cut costs, provide merely a cheap face mask for post-procedure care or simply let customers leave without further attention. Reputable Dermatology practices in South Korea offer standard post-treatment care that includes LED light therapy, soothing masks, and hydrating treatments after procedures such as injections and laser treatments—elements that are crucial for faster recovery and better results. Make sure to ask before booking: Is post-procedure care included? What specific services are provided?

6. Avoid weekends and public holidays in South Korea: Crowds are overwhelming on weekends, which significantly reduces the quality of service.

A high proportion of South Koreans opt for cosmetic procedures on weekends, leaving popular clinics in Gangnam packed on Saturdays. It’s recommended to schedule appointments from Monday to Thursday, as doctors are more energetic, have more time for the procedures, and provide more thorough post-operative care. Also, avoid South Korea’s public holidays—Seollal (Chinese New Year) and Chuseok (Mid-Autumn Festival)—as most clinics are closed during these times.

FAQ: Common Questions About the 2026 Price List for Microcosmetic Procedures in South Korea

🙋‍♀️ Q: It’s my first time getting cosmetic procedures in South Korea. Is it safe to have three different treatments done on the same day?

💬 Safety is also one of the advantages of getting treatments in South Korea. Rejuran injections, HIFU, and Potenza can all be done on the same day, with the typical sequence being HIFU (for deeper layers) first, followed by Potenza (for middle layers), and then Rejuran (for surface repair). The total procedure time usually takes around 2–3 hours. However, it’s not recommended to combine Thermage with HIFU on the same day, as their effects operate at similar depth levels, and combining their energies increases the risk; it’s advised to wait at least one month between the two treatments.

🙋‍♀️ Q: With South Korea eliminating tax refunds by 2026, is it still worth flying there?

💬 It’s definitely worth it! Although the cancellation of tax refunds results in a cost increase of around 10%, South Korea’s lower price base means that even after adding 10%, the price is still 40–60% cheaper than back home. Take Rejuran PN as an example: ¥3,000 in China vs. ¥1,350 in South Korea × 1.1 (VAT) = ¥1,485 — you still save ¥1,515. If you schedule two or more treatments at once, the savings will far exceed the cost of a flight.

🙋‍♀️ Q: What if I don’t know Korean? Can I communicate with the hospital?

💬 Over 90% of the larger Dermatology clinics in Gangnam district have Chinese-speaking consultants, so you don’t have to worry about language barriers. Just make sure to check whether Chinese services are available when booking. Hospitals listed on the BeautsGO platform generally support Chinese, with some even offering airport pick-up services. While it’s not a problem to communicate in English either, Chinese is by far the most widely available option.

🙋‍♀️ Q: Can Rejuran PN be mixed with the white box/blue box versions?

💬 It’s not recommended to mix different box types on the same day, as each box type has a different PN concentration, and mixing them may increase irritation. The suggested order is to apply the black box product to the entire face first, then wait 1–2 months before using the white box for the eye area or the blue box for acne-prone areas. Applying just one type at a time allows for clearer evaluation of the results.

🙋‍♀️ Q: How soon can I wear makeup after a Potenza treatment? When will I see results?

💬 Avoid getting your skin exposed to water and wearing makeup for 24 hours after the procedure. Light makeup can be applied once the redness subsides on days 2–3. Normal makeup can be used again after the slight peeling phase ends on days 5–7. Results timeline: Pores start to appear finer by day 7, collagen production becomes visible to the eye by day 30, and peak improvements—encompassing improved skin texture, firmness, and reduced acne scars—are achieved by day 90. The effects of Potenza last around 6–12 months, with a recommended treatment cycle of three sessions.

🙋‍♀️ Q: Which is better for me, Thermage FLX or HIFU?

💬 Quick guide: Choose HIFU for a loose face and Thermage for a sagging face. HIFU lifts the SMAS layer, making it ideal for “loose-type” issues such as blurred jawlines, Double Chin, and sagging Apple Zone. Thermage tightens the dermal layer, serving better for “aging-type” problems like overall skin laxity, enlarged Pores, and deeper Nasolabial Fold Correction. Those under 35 are advised to opt mainly for HIFU, while those over 35 should consider using both treatments (with a 1-month interval between them).
