Skin Botox prices at Dernia (2026)

Skin Botox, also called micro Botox, places a diluted toxin in tiny droplets just under the skin surface instead of deep in the muscle. The aim is smaller-looking pores, less shine and smoother texture, without freezing your expressions. At Dernia Clinic Myeongdong, the price depends on the area covered and the toxin brand.

Option Area Price (KRW)
Korean toxin Full face ₩129,000
Korean toxin Full face and neck ₩199,000
Xeomin (Germany) Full face ₩259,000
Botox (Allergan, USA) Full face ₩349,000

Prices are in Korean won (KRW), exclude 10% VAT, and are confirmed at your consultation. Your doctor recommends an area and brand after looking at your skin, and you agree the price before treatment begins.

What's included

  • A consultation in English with a licensed medical doctor, who checks oiliness, pore size and texture
  • Numbing cream for about 20–30 minutes, because skin Botox uses many tiny injections
  • Treatment of the agreed area with a very fine needle, which takes 20–30 minutes
  • Cooling and soothing care afterwards, plus written aftercare advice

What affects the price

  • Area: treating the neck as well as the face needs more product and more time.
  • Toxin brand: Korean toxins cost least. Xeomin and Allergan Botox are imported and cost more in Korea.
  • Your goal: heavy oiliness across the T-zone, fine crepey texture or flushing may each change how the doctor distributes the dose.
  • Combinations: skin Botox is often paired with a hydrating skin booster on the same day, which is priced separately.

How many sessions you need and the cost over a year

Skin Botox starts working within one to two weeks, and the effect lasts about two to three months. People who like the result usually repeat it three or four times a year, which comes to roughly ₩387,000–₩516,000 at the Korean-toxin full-face price, before VAT. Others save it for the weeks before a wedding, a holiday or a big event. Our skin Botox results guide explains what changes and when, and our skin Botox review covers who gets the most value from it.

How to compare skin Botox prices between clinics

Clinics in Seoul quote skin Botox in different ways: by area, by units, or bundled with a booster. Because the toxin is diluted, unit counts vary widely and are hard to compare. The area covered and the brand are the most useful things to check. Also ask whether the neck and numbing are included. Our guide to how Korean clinics price treatments explains the units you will see.

VAT and payment

All prices exclude 10% VAT, so the ₩129,000 full-face option is ₩141,900 at checkout. Since January 1, 2026, foreign visitors can no longer claim a VAT refund on cosmetic procedures in Korea, so plan your budget on the VAT-inclusive figure. Details are on our payment and tax page.

Alternatives at different budgets

Skin Botox also features in the Glass Skin Package with Rejuran Healer and LDM. Browse every treatment price in Seoul, or book a consultation and your doctor will suggest the area and brand that suit your skin and budget.

How much is skin Botox in Seoul?

At Dernia, skin Botox starts from ₩129,000 for the full face with a Korean toxin, before 10% VAT. Face and neck is ₩199,000, while Xeomin and Allergan Botox cost ₩259,000 and ₩349,000 for the full face.

Is skin Botox the same as regular Botox?

It is the same type of medicine used with a different technique. Regular wrinkle Botox goes into the muscle to soften expression lines. Skin Botox is diluted and placed just under the surface, where it mainly affects oil and sweat glands and very fine muscle fibers in the skin.

Will my face look frozen after skin Botox?

It should not. Because the toxin is diluted and placed superficially, normal expressions are usually unaffected. Your doctor avoids areas where it could change how your face moves.

When can I wear makeup after skin Botox?

The small bumps usually settle within a few hours. Many doctors suggest waiting until that evening or the next morning before makeup, and avoiding saunas, facials and face massage for a day or two.

Who should avoid skin Botox?

Avoid it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a neuromuscular condition, or have an active skin infection in the area. Your doctor will check your medical history and confirm it is suitable.
