Korean botox, injected by a doctor in Seoul at the local rate
Korean botox is the most booked treatment among our visitors, and the simplest: ten to fifteen minutes, no anesthesia, one visit, and you walk back out into Gangnam. Korea makes several of its own botulinum toxin brands, which is a large part of why prices per area are lower than at home. The part that needs care is the conversation. How strong, which muscles, which brand. Your KCODI interpreter handles that, so you do not end up with a frozen forehead because of a nod you did not mean.

Market estimate, not a quote. Your written quote comes after a free consultation.
- Priced per area. Korean brands cost less than imported ones, and the clinic tells you which is which.
- One visit of about an hour door to door. The effect starts in a few days and peaks at around two weeks.
- Touch-ups normally happen at two weeks. If you fly before then, tell the doctor so the dose is planned for it.
What she does on your clinic day
Before you arrive
She books the slot the way locals do and confirms the per-area price and the brand in writing. No surprise at the desk.
In the consultation room
She translates how you want to look: still able to raise your brows, or fully smooth. She asks how many units and which product go where.
After you leave
If one brow sits higher or the effect feels weak at two weeks, she asks the doctor for you, even if you are already home.

Typical price in Seoul
The figure on this page is per area. It moves with the brand (Korean brands at the lower end, imported ones higher) and with the dose: masseter, calf or underarm sweating treatments use far more units than frown lines. Be careful with event prices that do not name the brand or the units. Your quote does both.
- You want to soften forehead lines, frown lines or crow's feet
- You clench or have a square jaw from strong masseter muscles and want a slimmer lower face
- You are curious about skin botox for pores and fine texture
- You have a free hour in Seoul and do not want any downtime
