Seoul Skin Clinic Menu 2026: Korean Menus vs. Tourist Packages

30-second answer

  • Some tourist skin packages in Seoul list several treatments under one price without saying how much of each you get.
  • Korean booking-app menus write the amount next to each treatment, so you can see what the price pays for.
  • This article tells you what to ask before you pay; which treatment suits your skin is for the person who examines it to decide.

A woman in her mid-thirties, visiting Seoul from abroad for four nights, sits down in my consultation room and turns her phone around to show me a quote. It is called "Glass Skin Package," and it lists half a dozen treatments under one total without a single shot count or cc. An hour earlier, a Korean patient in the same chair asked about one treatment she had found on a Korean booking app. She wanted to know whether five sessions could be three. Her app listing already showed the amount and the number of sessions. The visitor's quote showed neither.

What is inside a tourist skin package?

Packages for visitors exist for a good reason. Someone with a few days in Seoul wants one booking and one price, and some of these packages add interpretation. The difficulty begins when several treatment names share a single total. You can see what the whole package costs. You cannot see how much of each treatment you are getting.

A HIFU handpiece. On HIFU devices in general, the cartridge sets the focal depth, such as 1.5, 3.0 or 4.5 mm. (Illustrative render, not a specific brand)

Here are three public listings aimed at visitors, and what their package sections leave out.

A medical-travel guide

A booking-platform package, since sold out

A skin clinic listing on a visitor platform

These pages are not hiding everything. The guide lists Rejuran Healer at 2cc in a separate section that prices treatments one by one, but nothing connects that 2cc to the Rejuran inside its five-step combination. The booking platform gives each part of its package a value. The skin clinic listing gives amounts on most of its single treatments and in its other two packages, such as 600 shots of Shurink Universe, a HIFU (focused ultrasound) treatment.

On any package page, find the section that sells treatments on their own and set it beside the package. If a treatment appears in both places but only the single version has an amount, the package has not told you how much of it you are buying.

How does a Korean skin clinic menu read?

Open a Korean booking app and the same treatments are listed one by one. One listing near Gangnam Station sells toning as "1 session" or "5 sessions." Another, in Sinsa-dong, sells it as "1 session" or "3 sessions." Both show prices with VAT included. A HIFU listing sells Shurink Universe as 300 shots or 600 shots, and its option details say that VAT, numbing and aftercare are included.

Listings also state their terms. They say whether VAT is included, whether the numbing cream and the aftercare are charged separately, and whether a price is a first-visit offer that applies only once. Not every listing states every term, and the same treatment can show a different price depending on them. A first-visit price, for example, is for first-time patients and can be used only once; whether it covers one session or several is shown by the number of sessions on the option. A peel can be listed by its steps, as in an Aqua Peel sold as "3-step."

That changes what a consultation can be about. In my consultation room, Korean patients who arrive with an app listing tend to bring a narrow question about it, like the Korean patient in the opening. The amount is already settled, so the conversation moves on to whether the treatment fits. The visitor from the opening arrived with a package name, so we had to start by working out what was inside it.

Two menus side by side, with prices as of October 2026

The first table compares what the listings above write down. The difference it shows is between a package and a single option, more than between visitors and Koreans. The second table gives one-session price ranges for four treatments discussed in this article.

Name

Amount (cc, shots)

Sessions

Price

VAT and extra fees

Other items

Laser toning

Rejuran Healer

Shurink or Shurink Universe (HIFU)

Aqua Peel

Ranges as of October 2026, from three public price platforms. Dollar figures are approximate.

A package total tells you little until you know how much of each treatment is inside it. It is like a grocery receipt with only the total printed: you know what you paid, not what you took home.

What to look for next to each treatment

The treatments below appear in the price table, in the visitor packages above, or in both. On a Korean menu, each one comes with a number beside its name.

Laser toning. Laser toning uses a laser with low energy per square centimetre, spread over a wide spot. It is given in repeated sessions. The number to look for is the session count, and for a course, how far apart the sessions are planned. Pico toning, which appears in the guide's combination, is toning done with a different kind of laser, so it is not in the price table.

Rejuran. Rejuran is an injection into the skin, sold in Korea as a skin booster. Its main ingredient is polynucleotide (PN), made from purified salmon or trout DNA. Rejuran's face injections also come as several products: Rejuran Healer, Rejuran I, Rejuran S and Rejuran HB Plus. HB Plus adds hyaluronic acid, a moisture-holding ingredient, and lidocaine, a local anaesthetic, to the PN. Korean booking-app listings show them as separate options by product name and cc, such as "Rejuran Healer 2cc" or "Rejuran I 1cc." One cc is one millilitre, so a 2cc session is 2 mL of product. A package that only says "Rejuran" tells you neither which product it is nor how many cc.

Skin botox. Skin botox is botulinum toxin injected shallow, into the layer just under the surface of the skin, instead of into a muscle. On a menu, the things to look for are the product and the amount. The guide above puts it in the same step as Rejuran Healer and gives an amount for neither.

Shurink (HIFU). HIFU stands for high-intensity focused ultrasound. Each HIFU cartridge works at a set depth under the skin, commonly 1.5, 3.0 or 4.5 mm. Korean menus sell Shurink by the shot, for example as 300 or 600 shots. In my consultation room, I write down the depth and the shot count for any HIFU treatment before anyone mentions price. What 300 versus 600 shots actually buys is the subject of the next article in this series.

Aqua Peel. Aqua Peel is a basic peel. It appears in a package in each of the three visitor listings above, with no amount beside it. A peel is not measured in cc or shots. The numbers to look for are the number of steps and the number of sessions, which Korean listings write on the option.

What a Korean patient in her 30s sees on her menu

A Korean patient in her 30s would typically see each treatment offered as a separate option: a single session, or a 3- or 5-session course, with VAT stated.

The difference between the two menus does not, by itself, mean visitors are charged more for being foreign. There are two plainer reasons the menus differ.

A visitor package pays for things a Korean patient does not need. Two of the listings above include interpretation, and one includes a travel helper. A facilitator's commission can also be part of a package total. A Korean patient booking from an app needs none of these, so those costs are not part of her price.

The length of the trip also makes the menus differ. A visitor with four nights in Seoul cannot spread one treatment over several weeks. So two of the packages above put several different treatments into a single visit instead. The option a Korean menu offers, such as a five-session toning course, does not fit a four-night trip. As I see it, this is the bigger of the two reasons, and it has nothing to do with a secret Korean product. It also changes what you can ask. A package with one toning session has no interval inside it to talk about. A 5-session course does.

What a Korean patient would actually do

A Korean patient in her 30s books from an option that already shows the amount and the number of sessions, and checks the terms (VAT, numbing) on the listing. In the consultation, her question is whether that treatment suits her skin.

Second opinion. Hyejun Cho

At the front desk I work at, Korean patients have usually seen the cc or the shot count on the app already, so they just confirm it with us. What I tell my friends: a package with no amount needs the same check, so ask the platform before you buy, or ask at the skin clinic before the treatment if you've already paid (the front desk or the counselor can answer it on the spot). And if your trip is short and you'd rather do fewer treatments, say so in the consultation and let the doctor decide what makes sense for your skin.

Red flags: when to ask before you pay, and when not to buy

These are things to look for on a package before you pay for it.

1. An injection with no amount

2. Toning packed into a short trip

3. Skin treatment sold together with things that are not skin treatment

What to ask in the consultation

Three questions about the treatments themselves fill in most of what the packages above left out:

  1. "For the HIFU, which device, which depth or depths, and how many shots?"
  2. "For each injection, which product, and how many cc or units?"
  3. "For the toning, how many sessions does this price cover, and how far apart would they be?"

These are questions about the treatment, not about the bill, and the person who treats you has to decide every one of them anyway. Once you know the amount of a treatment and what it costs within the package, the price table can serve as a rough guide. Whether VAT and numbing are included differs from one seller to another, so check that as well. Everything else is best weighed in the room, with the person who has just looked at your skin.

FAQ

Q. Is a package more expensive than buying the same treatments one by one?

A. Public listings cannot answer that. Some packages leave out how much of each treatment is inside, so there is nothing to compare. Once you know the amounts, you can set each treatment against the ranges in the price table above.

Q. Can I buy single treatments instead of a package?

A. On one of the three visitor listings in this article, the skin clinic listing, yes: it offers single treatments, most with an amount, such as Rejuran Healer at 2cc. The medical-travel guide does not sell treatments, but it lists their single prices. If skin treatment is all you want, single treatments are easier to compare with the price table.

Q. How many toning sessions does a Korean menu sell?

A. Korean menus sell toning as one session or as a course, such as three or five sessions. How many sessions you need, and how far apart, is decided in person. The 2017 report in the red flags above advised against toning more often than every two weeks.

Q. Which Rejuran is in my package?

A. Rejuran's face injections come as several products: Rejuran Healer, Rejuran I, Rejuran S and Rejuran HB Plus. If your package only says "Rejuran," ask which one and how many cc. Ask how many sessions the price covers.

Q. What does a first-visit price on a Korean app mean?

A. Some Korean booking-app listings mark a price as a first-visit offer. Only a first-time patient can use it, and only once. Whether that price covers one session or a course is a separate question, so check the number of sessions written on the option. When you set a treatment in a package next to an app listing, compare the same number of sessions.

Before you ask a skin clinic about its package, you can find that skin clinic's page on Seoul Skin Log, which lists the 392 skin clinics in Gangnam, Myeongdong and Hongdae. Where a price published there has a cc, shot or session count beside it, you can set it against the same item in the package; where it doesn't, ask the skin clinic for that amount first.
