I. 2026 Korean Medical Aesthetic Price List
1. Skin Management Projects
Skin management forms the foundation of Korean medical aesthetics. It focuses on deep skin repair, hydration, and the improvement of problematic skin conditions. The treatments are non-invasive and have a short recovery period, making them ideal for daily use. The cost of these treatments depends on the type of equipment used, the brand of products, and the duration of the treatment course.

2. Micro-plastic surgery procedures

| Autologous fat facial filling | Fat is extracted from various parts of the body, such as the thighs and abdomen, purified, and then injected into the face. This procedure boasts high compatibility and long-lasting effects, covering multiple areas including the apple muscle and the tear troughs. | 9,000 to 65,000 yuan per full face treatment |
| Juvelook | In 2026, a popular regenerative medical aesthetic treatment emerged – one that not only helps to replenish moisture but also stimulates collagen regeneration, achieving natural results.

3. Anti-Aging & Firming Treatments
In 2026, anti-aging will remain the core focus of the Korean medical aesthetics industry, with an emphasis on “multi-layered anti-aging treatments and long-term skin tightening”. Non-invasive and minimally invasive techniques will play a key role in these treatments, making them suitable for individuals experiencing early signs of aging or moderate skin laxity.

| Thermage | The fifth-generation mainstream technology uses monopolar radio frequency to stimulate collagen regeneration, tighten the dermis, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and nasolabial folds; the effects last for 1 to 2 years. | 15,000 to 48,000 yuan per session; 15,000 to 28,000 yuan for a full face treatment. |

II. Key Factors Affecting Korean Medical Aesthetic Prices in 2026
Many people seeking cosmetic treatments will find that the prices for the same medical aesthetic procedure at different Korean hospitals or clinics can vary significantly. This difference is not solely related to the procedure itself but is also influenced by numerous other factors. Understanding these factors can help you better assess the reasonableness of the prices and avoid being overcharged.
1. Hospital/Clinic Grade and Reputation
Top-tier hospitals in South Korea, such as Seoul Samsung Medical Center and BK Plastic Surgery Hospital, are equipped with advanced instruments, staffed by experienced doctors, and adhere to strict medical standards. As a result, the costs associated with treatment at these institutions are 30%-50% higher than those at ordinary clinics. Ordinary small clinics, on the other hand, typically have relatively basic equipment and doctors with limited experience, which results in lower prices. However, the safety and effectiveness of treatments provided at such clinics cannot be fully guaranteed.
2. Doctor’s Experience and Qualifications
In the field of Korean medical aesthetics, the expertise of the doctor directly determines the effectiveness and safety of the treatment. Chief physicians or those with over 10 years of experience possess extensive clinical knowledge and sophisticated techniques; as a result, the cost of treatments performed by such doctors is typically 20%-30% higher than that of resident doctors. This is especially true for complex procedures such as contour shaping and anti-aging combined therapies, where it is even more essential to choose experienced professionals, and the associated costs will accordingly increase.
3. Brands of Instruments and Products
Imported devices (such as American Thermage and Ultherapy) and high-end products (such as Swiss Restylane and American Juvederm) are more expensive, so the cost of these treatments will be significantly higher than that of domestic Korean devices or ordinary brands. For example, the price of imported hyaluronic acid injections is 2 to 3 times higher than that of ordinary Korean hyaluronic acid products; the cost of the fifth-generation Thermage device is also higher than that of regular radiofrequency treatments.
4. Project Complexity and Treatment Process
Simple individual treatments (such as a single Botox injection or a single IPL photorejuvenation session) are cheaper; combined treatments (such as Thermage + Ultherapy or a full-face hyaluronic acid filling procedure) are more complex and offer better results. The price for such combined treatments is usually the sum of the costs of the individual procedures, plus a certain discount. Additionally, most skin care and anti-aging treatments require multiple sessions to achieve the best results, and the total cost for these multiple sessions is generally more affordable than paying for a single treatment (usually with a discount of 10%–20%).
5. Regional Differences
The costs of medical aesthetics in the core areas of Seoul, such as Gangnam District, are 20%-30% higher than those in suburban areas or other cities, like Busan and Incheon. Since Gangnam District boasts top medical resources, advanced equipment, and renowned doctors, the operating costs are relatively higher, which in turn results in higher prices for medical aesthetic procedures.
