Frequently Asked Questions

Are prices negotiable in Korea?

Yes, to an extent. Package deals, multiple treatments, and cash payments often qualify for 5-20% discounts. Celebrity doctors and luxury clinics are less flexible. Always ask politely—negotiation is acceptable in Korean medical culture.

Why such a big price range for the same treatment?

Multiple factors:

• Clinic location (Gangnam vs Cheongdam = 50%+ difference)
• Doctor level (associate vs celebrity = 100%+ difference)
• Product brands (Korean vs imported = 30-50% difference)
• Facility quality and service level
• Treatment scope (minimal vs comprehensive)

Should I always choose the cheapest option?

No. While Korea offers great value, extremely low prices can indicate:

• Counterfeit products
• Inexperienced practitioners
• Poor quality materials
• Hidden costs

Sweet spot: Mid-range clinics in Gangnam Station area offer excellent quality at fair prices.

Do prices include tax?

Yes. Prices quoted usually include VAT. Medical services in Korea include tax in displayed prices (unlike US where tax is added).

Can I get a refund if I'm not satisfied?

Depends on clinic policy and situation:

• Within 2 weeks: Many clinics offer free touch-ups for injectables
• Product issues: Refunds or corrections typically offered
• Changed mind: Usually no refund (non-returnable medical service)
• Get cancellation policy in writing before paying

How much should I tip?

Nothing. Tipping is not customary in Korea and can be awkward. The price you pay is the full amount. No additional payment expected.

Are online prices accurate?

Mostly yes on Korean platforms (Gangnam Unni, Naver), but:

• English clinic websites may show higher "foreigner prices"
• Prices change without notice
• Individual factors may increase cost
• Always confirm in writing before treatment

Can I pay in USD or GBP?

Rarely. Most clinics only accept Korean Won. Exchange currency before visiting clinics or withdraw from ATMs.

Conclusion: Understanding Value in Korean Dermatology

Korean dermatology's global reputation stems from exceptional quality at accessible prices. While costs vary significantly, the fundamental value proposition remains: treatments that cost 2-3x more in Western countries are available at a fraction of the price without sacrificing quality.

Key takeaways:

• Product brands and quality
• Service level and experience

Plan comprehensively:

• Treatment costs + consultation + products + add-ons
• 10-15% buffer for unexpected costs
• Exchange rate fluctuations

Research thoroughly:

• Compare prices across multiple clinics
• Verify inclusions and exclusions
• Get everything in writing

With informed planning and realistic budgeting, Korean dermatology offers world-class treatments at accessible prices—a combination difficult to find anywhere else in the world.
