Korean aesthetic clinics present prices in several shapes: per session, per course, as packages, often with promotional terms. Two estimates for what sounds like the same treatment can cover different sessions, protocols and inclusions. Reading them properly is the difference between comparing and guessing.
A price for one treatment session. Simple to compare, but check what a session includes: numbing, consumables, aftercare products or a follow-up check may be separate.
Course or package
A set number of sessions, sometimes bundled with other treatments, usually at a lower per-session price. Validity, transfer and refund terms matter as much as the total.
Promotional pricing
Event prices with dates, conditions or eligibility rules are common in Korea. Ask whether the price you were shown applies to you, on your dates, with your inclusions.

Lines to check
What the estimate should state.
The treatment and protocol as the clinician described it, not only a brand or device name.
Number of sessions and the interval the clinic proposes.
We ask each clinic for the estimate in writing, translate the line items, and put them side by side on the same basis. The clinic sets its prices and its protocol; we make sure you are comparing like with like and that nothing is assumed.
Not always. Promotional prices often carry conditions, and inclusions vary. Ask the clinic to confirm your price in writing, with inclusions and validity.
Do clinics charge international patients differently?+
Practices vary. Ask the clinic directly whether the quoted price is the price you will pay, and have it confirmed in writing before you commit.
Do you receive anything from the clinic?+
Coordination is paid once per case, by either you or the clinic, never both. We tell you which applies to your case before you commit, and clinic treatment fees are always paid directly to the clinic.
Can I pay by card or in my own currency?+
Most clinics accept major cards; currency and card fees depend on the clinic and your bank. Ask about payment methods and any fees when you confirm the estimate.
