The local price
Yes. Many Seoul aesthetic clinics quote visiting patients more than Korean patients for the same treatment, and nothing requires them to publish either number. The markup is not a service fee, it is a margin. What we do is remove it and put our own fee on the invoice where you can see it.
Aesthetic dermatology in Korea is non-covered care (비급여): each clinic sets its own prices, there is no regulated tariff, and no obligation to publish a list. That is the legal half.
The market half is the visitor: someone who books once, pays once, never sees the local menu, and cannot compare. A second, higher quote for that patient breaks no rule. It is not a conspiracy. It is a market with an information gap on one side.
None of this makes a clinic bad. The same clinic quoting a visitor high may be giving its local patients the sharpest price in the district. Volume does that. The problem is never the clinic's local price. It is that you were not offered it.
Two lines. The treatment at the clinic's local list price: what a Korean patient pays. And our fee, named on the quote before you decide. If a clinic can't hold its local price for you, it isn't on our list.
Our unnies are the check. A long-term patient knows the local price of her own treatments the way you know your rent: not from a brochure, from paying it. A quote that drifts from what she pays is visible immediately, to the one person positioned to see it.
We do not set prices and we cannot make Seoul cheap. Treatment prices belong to clinics, they differ between clinics, and they change. What we remove is the gap between you and the local menu: the part of the price that existed only because you weren't local.
This page describes a pricing structure, not any clinic's conduct. No clinic is named here and none is being rated. Our fee model is contractual; claims about it are ours to make. Last checked: 30 July 2026.
How the quote works end to end: how it works. Why locals buy sessions instead of packages: where locals go.
