The Korea filler price is usually quoted per cc or per syringe, with listed treatments starting from ₩80,000 before VAT. The honest reply to how much is filler in Korea is that the total depends on three things: the gel family, the number of cc each area needs and whether the quote bundles numbing, a review visit or dissolving if needed. A single small area often uses one syringe, while full-face volume plans use several. The table below collects current listed prices from 10 clinics, all shown before tax, and 10% VAT is added at payment. Use it to compare like with like: same product, same dose, same areas.

What changes the price
- Dose in cc: filler is priced by volume, so two quotes only compare fairly when the cc per area is written down.
- Gel family: hyaluronic acid gels, calcium hydroxylapatite and poly-L-lactic acid products sit at different price points, and collagen stimulators are often priced per vial.
- Brand and origin: imported HA brands such as Restylane, Juvederm and Belotero and Korean-made HA gels are usually listed at different per-cc rates, so compare within the same brand.
- Area treated: deep areas such as temples or cheeks take more volume than a chin point or lip border, which changes the total even at the same unit price.
- Number of areas: some clinics lower the per-cc rate when several zones are treated in one visit, so ask for the rate both ways.
- Who injects: a quote may differ depending on which doctor performs the injection, so confirm the name before comparing.
- What the package includes: check whether numbing, a two-week review, a top-up allowance or hyaluronidase for corrections are part of the price.
- VAT: prices are before VAT and 10% VAT is added at payment, so total the final figure yourself before deciding.

How the options compare
| Option | Typical use | Who it suits | What to ask |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single syringe, one area | Chin point, lip border or one fold | First-timers testing a small change | How many cc are in the syringe and which brand it is |
| Multi-cc volume plan | Temples, cheeks or under-eye hollows together | People with broader volume loss | How the cc are split between each area |
| Imported HA brand | Any HA area, often chosen for name recognition | Visitors who want a familiar product family | To see the sealed box, batch number and expiry |
| Korean-made HA gel | Same areas as imported HA | People comparing cost per cc | Which manufacturer and whether it can be dissolved |
| Collagen stimulator vial | Gradual support in larger zones | Those who accept slower, harder-to-reverse results | How many sessions are planned and the spacing between them |

FAQ
Questions about Fillers in Gangnam
Is VAT included in the prices shown in the table?
No, the listed prices are before VAT, and 10% VAT is added when you pay. This is standard for cosmetic treatment in Korea, so the final bill will be higher than the table figure. Ask the clinic to write the total with tax on the quote before treatment so there is no surprise at the counter. Check that the receipt shows the tax as a separate line.
Why do two clinics quote such different totals for the same face?
Totals differ mainly because the cc count, the brand and the number of areas differ between plans. One clinic may propose a single syringe for the cheeks while another proposes three across cheeks and temples. Line up the quotes per area and per cc, and ask each doctor why that volume was chosen for your face. A written breakdown makes that conversation quick and clear.
What is usually included in a filler package?
A package normally covers the product, the injection and numbing cream, but extras vary widely. Some clinics add a review visit, a small top-up allowance or dissolving with hyaluronidase if the shape is uneven, while others charge each of these separately. Ask for the inclusions in writing so you can compare packages on equal terms. Missing items are the usual cause of surprise charges later.
How do I compare a quote from one clinic with another?
Write down four items from every quote: brand, cc per area, who injects and what follow-up is included. Then compare the per-cc rate rather than the package total. A cheaper total with fewer cc is not the same offer, and a higher rate may include a review visit that saves cost later. Keep the notes on your phone while you visit clinics.
Does a lower price per cc mean a lower-quality product?
Not necessarily, because Korean-made HA gels can be listed at a different rate from imported brands without being a different class of product. Price alone does not tell you the gel family or whether it is genuine, so ask to see the sealed box, batch number and expiry. That check matters more than the number on the menu. Keep the label sticker for your own records.
How can I pay for filler at the clinic?
Clinics commonly accept international cards and local payment, though accepted card brands and cash rules vary by clinic. Payment is usually taken after the consultation and before or right after the injection. Ask whether a deposit is needed when you book, and keep the itemized receipt that lists the product, dose and areas treated. Some clinics also show the total in your home currency.
Should I budget for a repeat session?
Yes, plan for top-ups because HA filler is gradually absorbed by the body over time. How fast depends on the area, the gel and your metabolism, and areas that move a lot, such as lips, tend to need maintenance sooner. Ask the clinic how it prices a top-up, since a smaller dose is often enough to maintain the shape. Ask too whether a review visit is charged.
Can health history change the plan and the price?
Yes, your health history can change both the plan and the total. A 2015 review by De Boulle and Heydenrych in Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology describes patient factors such as past filler, allergies, autoimmune conditions and blood-thinning medicines that raise complication risk. A careful doctor may lower the dose, choose a different gel or stage treatment over two visits.
