Skin booster price in Gangnam is usually set per cc of product, with listed options starting from ₩100,000 before VAT. The figure moves with three things: the product family (hyaluronic acid, PN or ECM), the volume injected and the number of areas treated. A standard full-face visit typically covers numbing cream, the injections and a soothing step, while multi-visit courses are quoted as one bundle. The table below collects current listed prices from 10 clinics. Every entry excludes VAT, and 10% VAT is added at payment, so the amount charged at the desk will be higher than the listed figure.

What changes the price
- Product family: HA boosters, PN boosters such as Rejuran Healer and ECM boosters such as CellREDM or Re2O sit on separate menu lines, so a quote without a product name cannot be compared.
- Volume in cc: most menus scale by the cc, and a full face takes more product than one zone such as the under-eyes.
- Product version: within one brand, a version with added HA and lidocaine such as Rejuran HB, or an eye-area version such as Rejuran i, is listed apart from the standard product.
- Delivery method: injection by hand, by cannula or with an injector device uses different time and supplies, and some clinics charge the device as an add-on.
- Course length: boosters work over repeated visits. In a small Korean case series by Park and colleagues (Dermatologic Therapy, 2015), five women received four PN sessions two weeks apart, which is why clinics often price a course rather than one visit.
- Combined treatments: a booster paired with a laser or energy device becomes two line items unless the clinic lists a set.
- Inclusions: check whether numbing, a soothing mask and a follow-up check are inside the listed figure or charged on top.
- VAT: listed figures exclude 10% VAT, which is added at payment.

| HA booster, single visit | Full face | Dry or dehydrated skin, first-timers | Which brand, and how many cc? |
| PN booster, single visit | Cheeks or full face | Thin, tired or easily irritated skin | Standard, HB or eye-area version? |
| ECM booster | Full face | Rough texture and early laxity | How much product goes into each area? |
| Course of three or four visits | Full face | Longer stays or repeat trips | Do remaining visits stay valid for a later trip? |
| Booster plus laser set | Full face | Tone and texture together | Which comes first, and how far apart? |

FAQ
Questions about Skin boosters in Gangnam
Is the 10% VAT already in the listed figure?
No, listed booster figures in Korea are shown before VAT, and 10% VAT is added when you pay. This applies to the menu, the online list and most verbal quotes. A few clinics round the final amount at the desk. To avoid surprises, ask for the total including VAT written next to the listed figure before treatment starts, and keep the receipt for your records.
Why is one cc of PN listed differently from one cc of HA?
Different product families carry different costs, so one cc of PN, HA or ECM booster rarely sits at the same line on a menu. Brand, concentration and version all play a part, and a lidocaine-containing version is usually listed separately. Comparing cc for cc only works within the same product. Ask each clinic to name the brand so that two quotes describe the same thing.
What does a per-cc quote leave out?
A per-cc figure often covers the product alone, leaving numbing cream, an injector device fee or a soothing mask as possible extras. Some clinics fold these into a full-face visit, others list them separately. The difference can matter more than the cc figure itself. Ask the clinic to list every item that will appear on the bill, then compare that total.
Is a course priced lower per visit than a single session?
Courses of three or four visits are often listed at a lower figure per visit than a single session, though this depends on the clinic and product. The trade-off is commitment: you pay for visits you may not use on one trip. Check how long the remaining visits stay valid and whether they can be moved to a later stay before paying for the bundle.
How should I compare two quotes that use different units?
Convert both quotes to the same unit, usually cc of a named product per area, before comparing anything else. If one clinic quotes per visit and another per cc, ask the first how many cc the visit includes. Then add VAT and any extras to each. Only at that point do the two figures describe the same treatment and become comparable.
How do visitors usually pay at a clinic?
Most clinics accept major international credit cards, and many also take cash in local currency. Some ask for a deposit when booking a course. Payment is generally taken on the day, after the consultation confirms the plan. Check with your card provider about foreign transaction fees, and ask the clinic for an itemized receipt that names the product and volume.
Does a lower listing mean less product?
A lower listing can mean less product, a different brand or fewer inclusions, so it needs a closer look rather than a quick yes or no. Sometimes it simply reflects a course figure spread across several visits. Ask for the brand, the cc and the full list of inclusions, then set them beside a second quote. The figure alone does not tell you what is in the syringe.
