Botox prices at Dernia

In Korea, the word Botox is used for any botulinum toxin, although Botox itself is a brand made by Allergan. Toxin relaxes the muscles that cause expression lines, softening forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet. Korean clinics price wrinkle Botox per area, and the brand of toxin is the biggest price factor. These are the 2026 prices for wrinkle Botox in Myeongdong.

Toxin	Made in	One area	Three areas (forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet)
Korean toxin (such as Botulax, Nabota or Coretox)	Korea	₩39,000	₩99,000
Xeomin	Germany	₩79,000	₩199,000
Botox (Allergan)	USA	₩99,000	₩259,000

Prices are in Korean won (KRW), exclude 10% VAT, and are confirmed at your consultation.

What's included

An English consultation with a licensed medical doctor, who assesses your muscle strength and expression lines
The toxin of your choice, opened and prepared in front of you
A standard dose for each area, adjusted to your muscles
Ice or numbing cream if you want it; most people find it quick and tolerable

What affects the price

The toxin brand is the main factor. Korean toxins are approved by Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and are widely used. Xeomin from Merz contains no complexing proteins, which some people choose if they have frequent treatments. Allergan Botox has the longest international track record. All three work in a similar way when dosed correctly. The number of areas matters next: forehead, frown lines and crow’s feet are each one area. Strong muscles may need a slightly higher dose, which your doctor will discuss before treatment. Our guide to Korean Botox brands vs Allergan, Xeomin and Dysport explains the differences in detail.

How many sessions you need and the cost of a full course

One session is enough. Results start to appear in two to three days, peak at around two weeks and usually last three to four months. Treating all three upper-face areas three times a year costs about ₩297,000 with Korean toxin or ₩777,000 with Allergan Botox, before VAT. See the Botox results timeline for what to expect week by week.

Botox is one of the easiest treatments to fit into a trip. There is no downtime, and you can usually fly the same or next day. Avoid lying down, rubbing the area or intense exercise for the first few hours.

How to compare Botox prices between clinics

Always ask which brand of toxin is being used and how many units go into each area. A low headline price may be for a Korean toxin when you expected Allergan, or for a lighter dose. Our guide to shots, lines and cc explains how Korean clinics quote units and areas.

VAT and payment

Prices exclude 10% VAT, so one area with Korean toxin totals ₩42,900 with VAT. The VAT refund on cosmetic procedures for foreign patients ended on January 1, 2026, and this tax is not refundable at the airport. See our payment and tax page for details.

Alternatives at different budgets

Jaw Botox price — from ₩59,000 (both sides, Korean toxin): slims the jawline by relaxing the masseter muscles.
Skin Botox price — from ₩129,000 (full face): micro-dosed toxin for pores, oil and fine texture.
Dermal filler price — from ₩150,000 (1cc, Korean HA): for static lines and volume loss that Botox cannot soften.
