Dermatology clinic prices in Seoul begin at ₩9,900 before VAT on the table below, and treatments around the eyes are billed by cc, by area or by session. Under-eye hollows are usually filled with hyaluronic acid sold per syringe or cc, crow's feet toxin is charged per area or per unit, and skin boosters or lasers for dark circles are priced per session or as a short course. A quote for the eye zone often looks small next to a full-face plan because the area is narrow, yet the technique is slow and precise. The table compares 10 clinics, and every figure on it excludes VAT, so 10% VAT is added at payment.

What changes the price
- Volume of filler: the tear trough takes small amounts, and a quote may list half a syringe or a full one per side, so check which.
- Product line: softer, low-crosslink hyaluronic acid made for thin under-eye skin can be priced differently from a firmer line used on the cheeks.
- Cannula or needle: some doctors use a blunt cannula under the eyes to lower bruising risk, and a few list it as a separate item.
- Toxin units for crow's feet: the bill depends on the brand and on how many units the doctor places on each side of the eyes.
- Booster course: polynucleotide boosters such as Rejuran (PN) for crepey under-eye skin are often sold as a course of sessions spaced one to two weeks apart.
- Laser for dark circles: pigment-type circles may need a series of laser sessions, while circles caused by hollowing respond to filler instead, which changes the total.
- Dissolving and review: hyaluronidase to dissolve misplaced filler and a recheck visit may be included or charged separately.
- VAT: menu prices are before VAT, and 10% VAT is added at payment on every item.

| Polynucleotide booster course | Lower lid skin | Thin, crepey skin without deep hollows | Number of sessions, spacing, what one session covers |
| Laser for pigment circles | Lower lid and upper cheek | Brown or uneven tone rather than hollowing | Device, number of sessions, skin-type precautions |

FAQ
Questions about aesthetic clinics in Korea
Are Seoul skin clinic prices for under-eye filler shown including VAT?
Menu and table prices in Seoul are almost always shown before VAT, and 10% is added when you pay. This applies to filler, toxin, boosters and lasers alike, including the eye area. Ask the clinic to show the final total including VAT on your written quote. That keeps the comparison fair when one clinic quotes per cc and another per syringe.
Why does under-eye filler often cost more per cc than cheek filler?
Under-eye work uses small amounts placed slowly in thin, unforgiving tissue, so the time and skill per cc are higher. A 2021 systematic review in Facial Plastic Surgery by Trinh and colleagues described wide variation in technique and product for the tear trough and stressed detailed knowledge of the anatomy. Some clinics also use a dedicated soft product. Compare the full plan for both sides, not the per-cc figure alone.
How long does tear trough filler last before I pay again?
Tear trough filler commonly lasts from several months to around a year before a top-up is considered. The review by Trinh and colleagues reported a duration of effect of roughly eight to twelve months across the studies it included. Metabolism, product type and amount all shift this. When you budget across a year, count one top-up visit rather than assuming a single payment.
Is dissolving filler under the eyes charged separately?
Dissolving with hyaluronidase is usually a separate line on the bill unless the clinic includes it for its own work. It is used when filler sits unevenly, looks puffy or causes a bluish tint under thin skin. Ask before treatment whether correction of the clinic's own result is covered. Treatment for filler placed elsewhere is normally charged as a new procedure.
Can I pay for one eye-area session instead of a whole course?
Most clinics allow a single session, though boosters and lasers are often priced lower per visit when bought as a course. A one-off session is reasonable if you are visiting briefly or trying a treatment for the first time. Ask whether unused sessions can be refunded or moved if you leave Seoul early. Card payment is widely accepted; check whether a foreign card is billed in local currency.
How do I compare two eye-area quotes from different clinics?
Line the quotes up by product, amount per side, method and what is included. One quote may list filler per cc with a cannula and a review visit, while another lists a syringe without follow-up. Convert both to the total for your actual plan, then add 10% VAT. The lowest listed price on this page shows a starting point, not what a full eye plan costs.
Do crow's feet toxin repeats cost the same as the first visit?
Repeat toxin for crow's feet is usually priced the same as the first session, since the charge follows the area or units used. Some clinics include a short top-up check about two weeks later; others charge for extra units. Results commonly fade over a few months. Keep the brand and units from your record so a repeat matches the first dose.
