Dermal fillers are one of the most requested treatments by international visitors to Seoul — and for straightforward reasons. The same procedure costs three to four times more in the US or Europe. The practitioners performing these treatments do them at volumes that most Western clinics never reach.
You walk in, you walk out, and your face looks different. This guide covers every treatable area, the real price range for each, and what international visitors specifically need to know before booking.

Before You Book
Understanding Filler Types
The single most important thing to understand before your consultation.
ReversibleHyaluronic Acid (HA)
The most widely used filler globally. Naturally present in the body — well-tolerated. The critical advantage: it can be dissolved. Hyaluronidase breaks it down immediately if needed.
Brands: Neuramis, Yvoire (domestic) · Juvederm, Restylane (imported)
Domestic: ₩150,000–₩350,000 / cc
Imported: ₩350,000–₩600,000+ / cc
Collagen Stimulators
Instead of adding immediate volume, they trigger the skin to produce its own collagen over time. Results develop gradually and last significantly longer (2+ years). Cannot be dissolved.
Sculptra (PLLA) · Radiesse (CaHA) · Ellanse (PCL)
Duration: 2–4+ years depending on product
⚠️ Ellanse is frequently misunderstood
Ellanse is a PCL-based collagen stimulator — not an HA filler. It cannot be dissolved. Results are not reversible. Confirm exactly what product is being used before any procedure.
If you specifically want an imported brand, confirm this before booking.
The same procedure can cost twice as much depending on which product is used — and clinics don't always disclose this upfront.

Treatment Areas
Area-by-Area Guide
Forehead
Creating a rounded, voluminous forehead profile — particularly valued in Korean and East Asian beauty standards. Achieving a full rounded forehead contour requires meaningful volume: 3–6cc for full forehead, 1–2cc for partial Western-style correction only.
Domestic: ₩300,000–₩600,000Imported: ₩500,000–₩800,000+Duration: 12–18 moDowntime: 1–3 days
Temples
The temples hollow with age, creating a sunken appearance and contributing to sagging around the eyes. Temple filler restores volume and creates a more lifted, structured facial frame.
Domestic: ₩200,000–₩400,000Imported: ₩350,000–₩600,000Duration: 12–24 moDowntime: 1–3 days
Under-Eye / Tear Trough
Addresses dark circles caused by volume loss and shadowing beneath the eye — the "tired look" that no amount of sleep fixes. One of the most technically demanding filler procedures. Low-viscosity HA filler only.
Domestic: ₩200,000–₩400,000Imported: ₩350,000–₩600,000Duration: 6–12 moDowntime: 3–7 days
Nose (Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty)
Raising the bridge, refining the tip, correcting asymmetry — without surgery. One of the most requested procedures by international visitors. Volume: 0.5–1cc.
Domestic: ₩150,000–₩300,000Imported: ₩300,000–₩500,000Duration: 6–12 moDowntime: 1–3 days
Lips
Volume, shape, definition — lip filler is the most requested filler procedure globally and one of the most commonly performed in Seoul. For a detailed guide to lip filler in Seoul, see our dedicated post.
Domestic: ₩150,000–₩300,000Imported: ₩300,000–₩500,000Duration: 6–12 moDowntime: 1–3 days
Nasolabial Folds
The lines running from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth deepen with age. Filler can address them directly, or by restoring mid-face volume to reduce their appearance indirectly.
Domestic: ₩200,000–₩400,000Imported: ₩350,000–₩600,000Duration: 12–18 moDowntime: 1–3 days
Chin
Projecting the chin forward, adding length, or refining the shape — chin filler creates V-line proportion without surgery. One of the most popular combination treatments with jawline Botox.
Domestic: ₩150,000–₩300,000Imported: ₩300,000–₩500,000Duration: 12–18 moDowntime: 1–3 days
Cheeks
Restoring volume to the mid-face, enhancing cheekbone definition, and creating an indirect lifting effect on the lower face. One of the most impactful single-area treatments for overall facial rejuvenation.
Domestic: ₩200,000–₩500,000Imported: ₩350,000–₩700,000Duration: 12–24 moDowntime: 1–5 days
⚠️ High-Risk Areas — Read Before Booking
Nose: Highest-risk filler area. The nose has the densest vascular network of any treatment area. Vascular occlusion is a medical emergency. Confirm your clinic has hyaluronidase on-site and your practitioner is trained in vascular complication management.
Under-Eye (Tyndall Effect): Using the wrong filler formulation causes bluish skin discoloration — visible and difficult to correct. Only a practitioner with specific under-eye experience should perform this procedure.
Piercing holders (nose & lip): Do not remove or change piercings for a minimum of 2–4 weeks around your procedure. Disclose all facial piercings to your practitioner before the session.
