Sample plan: five days in Seoul for skin, with costs from our price list
This is a sample plan, not a real patient's trip: an example of how we would lay out five days for someone with texture, dullness and slightly oily skin. Treatments that leave marks go on the first full day, quiet ones on the last. Using our partner price list, the treatments in this sample add up to about ₩573,900 to ₩725,900, roughly $410 to $520, plus VAT where a clinic does not include it.
This is an illustrative sample plan, not a patient’s story. Prices come from our price list and are pending clinic confirmation.
What readers ask
“How much should I budget for a skin trip to Seoul?”
“How do I fit treatments around sightseeing?”
Who is this sample for?
Imagine someone in their early thirties, visiting Seoul for five days, arriving on Monday and flying home on Friday. Their concerns: uneven texture on the cheeks, a tired, dull look, and shine by midday. They are happy with a day or two of visible marks early in the trip, but want to look normal by the flight.
What goes on which day?
- 01
Monday: arrive
No treatment. Rest, settle in, buy sunscreen.
- 02
Tuesday: consultation and the treatments with marks
Doctor consultation, then Rejuran Healer for thin, tired skin and Pico Fraxel on the cheeks for texture. Expect bumps and redness for two to three days.
- 03
Wednesday: free day
Sightseeing with a hat and sunscreen. No saunas or hot baths.
- 04
Thursday: the quiet treatments
Skin botox for oil and pores, PicoPlus toning for tone, and Shurink 300 shots for mild tightening. Little to see afterwards.
- 05
Friday: fly home
Nothing scheduled. Bumps from Tuesday have mostly settled.
What would it cost?
| Day | Treatment | KRW | About USD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tuesday | Rejuran Healer 2cc | ₩199,000–₩350,000 | $140–$250 |
| Tuesday | Pico Fraxel, cheeks | ₩79,000 | $55 |
| Thursday | Skin botox, Korean toxin 3cc | ₩99,000–₩100,000 | $70 |
| Thursday | PicoPlus toning | ₩37,900 | $25 |
| Thursday | Shurink 300 shots | ₩159,000 | $115 |
| Total | ₩573,900–₩725,900 | $410–$520 |
The total covers treatments only. Flights, hotel and food are separate, and so is anything the doctor adds or removes at consultation. Ask whether VAT is included: some price lists include it and some do not, and the foreign-patient VAT refund on cosmetic treatment ended in January 2026.
Why this order?
Rejuran leaves small bumps for two to three days and Pico Fraxel leaves redness and fine marks for a similar time. Putting both on Tuesday gives them until Friday to settle. Skin botox, toning and Shurink leave little to see, so they go on Thursday, close to the flight. If the order were reversed, our sample traveller would fly home with bumps on their face.
What would we change for a different person?
- Spots or moles to remove: add them on Tuesday, and accept patches for about a week.
- No visible marks at all: drop Rejuran and Pico Fraxel, keep the quiet treatments.
- Sagging jawline as the main concern: talk about Ultherapy or Thermage instead of Shurink.
- A three-day trip: consultation plus quiet treatments only.
What should I have in writing before Tuesday?
For each treatment: the product or device name, the dose (cc, shots or units), the price, whether VAT is included, and anything not included, such as numbing or a calming mask. In this sample that means five lines. If any line arrives as a vague package name, ask again. A clear quote before the trip is what lets you compare clinics and avoid surprises at the desk.

Quick answers
How much does a skin trip to Seoul cost?
It depends entirely on the treatments. In this sample, five common skin treatments add up to about $410–$520 using our partner price list, plus travel costs and VAT where a clinic does not include it.
Is five days enough for skin treatments in Korea?
For most non-surgical skin treatments, yes, if marks are scheduled early. Spot removal needs about a week of patches, so a longer stay helps.
Can I do everything in one day?
Sometimes, but spreading treatments lets marks settle and gives the doctor a chance to see how your skin responds.
Is this a real patient's plan?
No. It is an illustrative example to show scheduling and costs. Your plan will depend on your consultation.
