Scope of this comparison. This covers English-language listings available on K-Beauty Station with a published price, checked on 11 August 2026. It is not a complete list of every provider in Myeongdong or Seoul. Ratings are venue-level. Nothing here is medical advice — which procedure is appropriate for you is decided by a doctor at consultation.
If you searched for a facial in Myeongdong expecting a spa room with soft music, the results will confuse you. Almost everything that comes back is a dermatology clinic.
That is not a search failure. It is what the neighbourhood is. In Myeongdong the appointment a visitor thinks of as "a facial" is usually a medical skin treatment — a laser, a toning session, a skin booster — performed at a clinic rather than in a spa room. Understanding that before you book is the difference between a good afternoon and a confusing one.
Here are the five Myeongdong venues with published prices, from ₩8,900, and what each is actually for. All five are clinics — and that is the finding, not an omission.
① First, Decide Which Kind of Facial You Want
Three different things share the word, and picking the wrong one is an easy mistake to make here.
- A clinic skin treatment — laser, toning, injectables, boosters. A medical procedure, performed by medical staff after a consultation. This is what Myeongdong is dense in.
- A clinic skin care programme — cleansing, extraction and calming, run at a clinic rather than a spa. Closer to what most people mean by a facial, with medical oversight. Priced from ₩9,900 in Myeongdong.
- A non-medical spa treatment — relaxation first, results second. There is none of this in Myeongdong in this comparison. Not one venue in the neighbourhood publishes a price for a non-medical facial. If that is what you came for, you will be travelling out of Myeongdong for it.
If relaxation is the point, Myeongdong is the wrong neighbourhood and it is better to know that now. If you are considering a medical procedure, book a consultation and let the clinic decide what is appropriate.
② The Five Venues in Myeongdong
1. Abijou Clinic Myeongdong — 4.9 from 5,041 reviews
The highest review count of the five venues here. Eight treatments published, and the pricing sits well below what visitors expect from a clinic.
- Skin Care — ₩35,000
- Skin Laser — ₩19,000 — the lowest-priced laser listing in this comparison
- Lifting — ₩27,000
- Skin Booster — ₩69,000
- Botox — ₩15,000
What stands out: the entry prices. Eight treatments listed, most of them under ₩70,000.
2. Kind Global Clinic — 5.0 from 47 reviews
The widest published menu of the five — twelve treatments spanning ₩9,900 to ₩890,000. The one clinic here where you can start at under ₩10,000 and go all the way to a full lifting course.
- Beauty Welcome Care — ₩9,900 — among the lowest-priced listings here
- Dual Pico Toning, 1 session — ₩79,000
- Premium Rejuran 4cc — ₩199,000
- Ultherapy Prime, 300 shots — ₩890,000 — the top of the Myeongdong range
- Laser Hair Removal — ₩9,900
What stands out: the range. Twelve treatments spanning ₩9,900 to ₩890,000 at one venue, which makes it the easiest place to see how price scales with the size of a course.
3. Cellin Clinic Myeongdong — 4.8 from 237 reviews
The strongest mid-to-premium menu, and the clinic to pick if you have a specific concern rather than a general wish.
- Acne / Skin Care — ₩64,900 — the only acne-specific programme in this comparison
- Picosure — ₩55,000
- Skin Booster — ₩207,900
- Dermal Fillers — ₩108,900
- Ultherapy Prime, Thermage and ONDA — ₩759,000 — three lifting devices in one course
What stands out: the only acne-specific programme, and the widest published mid-to-premium menu.
4. Reverse Clinic Myeongdong — 4.7 from 46 reviews
Ten treatments listed, with the lowest entry prices in this comparison.
- Special Offer Event — ₩8,900 — the lowest published price here
- Anti-Aging Collection — ₩20,000
- Nasolabial Fold Botox — ₩55,000
- Large-Volume Contouring Injection — ₩64,900
What stands out: the lowest entry prices. Note the review count is the smallest of the five venues here.
5. FULORE Clinic — 5.0 from 80 reviews
Listed here for completeness because it appears in Myeongdong searches, but its published treatments are body rather than face — non-surgical fat reduction and an underarm sweat solution. Not a facial destination.

④ Why This Guide Does Not Tell You Which Treatment to Have
You will find plenty of pages that match a skin complaint to a named procedure. This is not one of them, and the reason is not caution for its own sake.
These are medical procedures. Which one suits you depends on your skin type, your history, what you are taking, what you have had done before, and what a doctor sees when they examine you. None of that is visible to a booking page or to a guide written in advance. A visitor who arrives having already decided on a named laser is the visitor most likely to pay for the wrong thing.
What you can usefully do before you go:
- Describe the concern, not the procedure. "Pigmentation", "breaking out", "skin looks tired" is what the clinic needs. The procedure is their decision to propose.
- Say it in chat before the appointment. What your skin is doing, what you have had done before, what you react to, what you are taking. It gives the clinic time to prepare and time to tell you if the booking is wrong.
- Set a budget band rather than a treatment. The price tiers above are a fair guide to what each band buys.
- Expect the consultation to change the plan. That is the consultation working, not a bait and switch.
The one choice you can make in advance is the one this guide opened with: medical or not. And in Myeongdong that choice is already made for you — every venue here with a published price is a clinic. A treatment room with no consultation about what is wrong with your skin is not something this neighbourhood offers at a published price.
⑤ How Korean Clinics Price Treatments
Shots for lifting devices, cc for injectables, areas for lasers. An advertised price is often for a starting quantity that a full treatment exceeds — which is why "300 shots" and "4cc" appear in the names above. Ask one question before you agree to anything: is this the total, and how many units does it include? Ask it in writing, so the answer exists somewhere you can point to.
⑥ Practical Notes for a Myeongdong Appointment
- Leave a buffer before you fly. Some procedures leave temporary marks. Ask the clinic what to expect for the specific treatment, and do not book one for the day before your flight home.
- Not on arrival day. Long-haul flights leave skin dehydrated and reactive, and the consultation reads your skin in that state.
- Bring your passport, and book in the name printed on it. Medical appointments are recorded against identity.
- Sunscreen afterwards, seriously. Myeongdong is an outdoor shopping district and you will be walking in it straight after a laser.
⑦ Frequently Asked
Where should I go for a facial in Myeongdong?
Every Myeongdong venue in this comparison is a clinic, so the real question is which clinic and at what budget — what is appropriate for you is decided at consultation rather than in advance. If you specifically want a non-medical spa facial, no Myeongdong venue here publishes a price for one, and you will be looking outside the neighbourhood.
How much does a facial cost in Myeongdong?
Published prices start at ₩8,900 for a clinic trial offer and ₩9,900 for a welcome care programme. The widest choice sits between ₩55,000 and ₩79,000. Treatment courses run to ₩890,000.
Why are the results all skin clinics rather than spas?
Because that is what Myeongdong has. The district is dense with dermatology clinics serving both locals and visitors, and in this comparison there is no non-medical esthetic spa in Myeongdong with a published price at all. It also means the prices are lower than a spa facial would be in most other countries.
Do I need a Korean phone number to book?
No. The required signup fields are a nickname, an email address, the code emailed to it and a password. The phone number field is optional and carries a country code selector, so your own country's number works — or you can leave it blank and arrange everything in chat.
Will there be downtime?
It depends entirely on the procedure and on you, and it is not something a guide can tell you. Ask the clinic in chat before you book, and build a buffer into your schedule.
Is it cheaper outside Myeongdong?
Myeongdong's entry pricing is competitive — the ₩8,900 and ₩9,900 listings are the lowest published prices in this comparison. Providers outside this platform may price differently.
