What $1,000 Can Cover at a Seoul Skin Clinic

Last updated:

If you are planning skin treatment during a trip to Seoul with a budget of around US$1,000, the first questions are practical: what can that realistically cover, is VAT included, and how many visits will it take? This guide uses Dami Skin Clinic's November 2026 fee schedule to show example plans by goal, with prices in Korean won and approximate US dollars.

The short answer

At Dami Skin Clinic, about US$1,000 is roughly 1,350,000 won including 10% VAT, at about 1,350 won per dollar in early November 2026. Depending on your goal, that can cover one main lifting treatment, or a skin booster combined with a lighter treatment. The doctor decides the final plan after examining your skin.

How prices work

  • Prices on the clinic's fee schedule are in Korean won and do not include 10% VAT
  • The US dollar figures on this page are approximate and use about 1,350 won per dollar; exchange rates change
  • Prices come from the clinic's November 2026 fee schedule and are confirmed at your consultation

In early November 2026, the won traded at roughly 1,340 to 1,357 per US dollar.

Example plans around US$1,000

These are examples to help you plan, not fixed packages. Combining treatments in one visit is possible only if the doctor agrees after examining your skin.

Horizontal bar chart titled Example Plans vs a US$1,000 Budget, in approximate US dollars including 10% VAT at 1,350 won per dollar. Within budget: XERF 300 shots $978; Ultherapy Prime 200 shots plus Pico toning $880; Oligio 300 shots plus Rejuran Healer 4cc $896; Rejuran Healer 4cc plus Juvelook Skin $774; Eye XERF 200 shots plus Rejuran Eye $937; filler 1cc plus Botox in two areas $733; Dual toning five sessions $652. Over budget: Ultherapy Prime 300 shots $1,019; Rejuvelux one session $1,222; Thermage FLX 600 shots $1,507. A dashed line marks US$1,000. A note says these are examples only, the doctor decides the final plan and prices are confirmed at consultation.

For the lips, the filler can be one made for the lips, such as Restylane Kysse or Juvederm Volbella, both of which are on the clinic's fee schedule.

Single visits vs treatment courses

If you are in Seoul for a short trip, single-visit options make the most sense. Each example above, except toning, can be done in one visit.

Some treatments work as a course with an interval between sessions. On the fee schedule, toning is repeated about every 2 weeks, Excel V for freckles and age spots about every 3 weeks, and Rejuran Healer about every 3 weeks. A course like five toning sessions suits expats or longer stays better than a short trip.

Treatments above US$1,000

Some treatments cost more than US$1,000 on their own, including VAT:

I had a great experience at this clinic! I came in for a Pico Laser treatment and a treatment to remove my freckles, and I also got Botox in two areas of my face. They gave me a discount, which was a really nice bonus. Everyone was incredibly kind, professional, and welcoming. One of the things I appreciated the most is that everyone speaks English, including the doctors, so I was able to fully understand the consultation, the treatments, and the recommendations without any language barrier. I highly recommend this clinic, especially for foreigners who don’t speak Korean but still want to have a treatment where they can communicate comfortably and understand everything clearly. I felt very well taken care of throughout the whole experience. I would definitely come back! ❤️

The staff via whatsapp was friendly and responsive to accommodate last min change request to my appointment. The place was clean and comfortable and the lady doctor was helpful to suggest what’s good for me based on my needs. I find the procedures reasonably priced as there were some promotional offers. I managed to get there by 5.30pm for a last consultation and finished my treatments by 7:30pm (clinic closes at 7pm) yet besides the lady doctor who performed the procedures, the lady assistant who helped to clean and prep my face and the male interpreter who stayed with her to explain in English to me step by step what she’s doing— were patient and thorough, I didn’t feel rushed at all. I feel very pampered. I’ll certainly come back again the next time I’m in Seoul!

While getting ready for my wedding, I started looking into different skin treatments and ended up getting a skin booster injection along with Pico toning. My skin is naturally very thin and sensitive, so I was worried because it tends to react easily if a treatment doesn't suit me. But they carefully checked my skin condition first during the consultation, which made me feel a lot more comfortable. There was a little redness on the day of the treatment, but once I put on makeup the next day, it was barely noticeable. I was especially happy during my wedding photoshoot because my makeup went on so well My skin just looked healthy and fresh without needing heavy coverage!

I recently visited Dami Clinic and had a really great experience! The staff were extremely kind and welcoming, which made me feel very comfortable from the beginning. The doctor was not only kind but also very professional, explaining everything clearly and carefully. I especially enjoyed my Sylfirm X treatment, which helps with redness and pores. The whole process was smooth. I would definitely recommend Dami Clinic to anyone looking for professional skin care with a warm and friendly atmosphere! 🌸
