What does filler cost per cc in Korea?
Korean clinics quote filler by the cc — the syringe volume — rather than by the area, and the per-cc figure moves with the product tier. At 2026 standard self-pay rates, one cc of imported hyaluronic acid filler such as Juvederm runs ₩340,000–460,000 for lip, chin, or nose work, while one cc of a domestic HA product such as Neuramis or Chaeum runs ₩100,000–220,000. A volume-booster cc (Juvelook volume) lists at ₩128,000, and dissolving existing filler with hyaluronidase costs ₩69,000–89,000 per cc. Every figure includes VAT, foreign patients pay the same standard rate as domestic patients, and Book Korea Medical adds no markup — so the per-cc arithmetic below is all you need to compare quotes.
Filler prices per cc in Korea
Standard self-pay ranges, VAT included, compiled from rate cards published in July 2026. Every row is a per-cc unit, which is exactly how a Korean quote will arrive.
| Procedure | Unit | Range (KRW) | Approx. (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| HA filler — imported (e.g. Juvederm), lip / chin / nose | per 1 cc | ₩340,000 – ₩460,000 | ~$247 – $335 |
| HA filler — domestic (e.g. Neuramis, Chaeum) | per 1 cc | ₩100,000 – ₩220,000 | ~$73 – $160 |
| Volume booster (Juvelook volume) | per 1 cc | ₩128,000 | ~$93 |
| Hyaluronidase (dissolving / correction) | per 1 cc | ₩69,000 – ₩89,000 | ~$50 – $65 |

How to read a per-cc filler quote
A Korean filler quote has two moving parts: the product tier and the cc count. The tier sets the per-cc rate — imported HA brands carry the import cost and brand premium, domestic HA products from Korean manufacturers deliver the same injection format at a lower per-cc figure, and volume boosters sit in their own lane because they are built for spreading volume rather than sculpting a defined shape. The cc count then multiplies that rate: lips are commonly planned around one cc, while chin or profile work often uses more, and your clinic confirms the count at consultation rather than in advance.
This structure is why two quotes for the same face can differ without either being wrong. A plan written as two cc of imported HA works out to roughly ₩680k–920k at the published per-cc range, while the same two cc in a domestic product works out to roughly ₩200k–440k — a legitimate gap driven entirely by tier, not by anyone quoting you a foreigner price. The question to ask is never just the total; it is which product, and how many cc, the total contains.
The per-cc line most people miss: dissolving
Hyaluronidase — the enzyme that dissolves HA filler — is also quoted per cc in Korea, at ₩69,000–89,000. It matters in two situations: correcting previous filler work, including work done overseas, before new filler goes in, and as reassurance that HA filler is a reversible decision. If you are arriving with existing filler you are unhappy with, budget the dissolving line separately from the new-filler line, and expect the clinic to schedule them as separate steps rather than one visit.
When you request a quote, ask for it itemized per cc across every line — product, cc count, and any dissolving step — so the comparison between clinics is arithmetic instead of guesswork. A free consultation with a KHIDI-registered clinic produces exactly that written breakdown, and the written figure is the binding price.
VAT is included — and there is no refund in 2026
Every price above is VAT-inclusive: Korea's 10% value-added tax is already built into the standard self-pay rate.
The foreign-patient VAT refund on cosmetic and aesthetic procedures (Special Tax Treatment Control Act, Articles 107-3 and 107-4) expired on 31 December 2025 and was not extended for 2026. As of 2026 there is nothing to reclaim afterward on a procedure like this — the price you see is your effective, out-of-pocket cost. Be cautious of older listings that still promise a clinic VAT refund for cosmetic treatment.
FAQ
What is the filler price per cc in Korea?
At 2026 standard self-pay rates: imported HA filler (e.g. Juvederm) runs ₩340,000–460,000 per cc, domestic HA (e.g. Neuramis, Chaeum) runs ₩100,000–220,000 per cc, a Juvelook volume-booster cc lists at ₩128,000, and hyaluronidase dissolving costs ₩69,000–89,000 per cc. All figures include VAT, with no markup from us.
Why do imported and domestic filler differ so much per cc?
The gap is tier, not quality of injection: imported brands carry import costs and global brand pricing, while Korean-manufactured HA products are produced locally and compete in a crowded home market. Both arrive as per-cc syringes placed by the same practitioners. Which tier fits depends on the area, your retention history, and budget — a consultation settles it case by case.
How many cc of filler will I actually need?
It depends on the area and your anatomy: lips are commonly planned around a single cc, while chin and profile work often takes more, and the clinic confirms the count only after seeing your face. Because quotes are per cc, the honest way to plan is to fix the product tier first, then multiply by the cc count your clinic puts in writing.
Is the per-cc price the same for foreigners, and is VAT extra?
Foreign patients pay the same standard per-cc rate as domestic patients, and VAT is already inside every figure. The foreign-patient VAT refund on cosmetic procedures expired on 31 December 2025 and does not apply in 2026, so there is nothing to reclaim afterward — the itemized written quote is your final cost.
How do I compare two filler quotes from different clinics?
Reduce both to the same arithmetic: product tier, per-cc rate, and cc count, plus any dissolving line if you have existing filler. If one quote hides the cc count or bundles lines together, ask for it itemized before comparing totals. Book Korea Medical passes clinic rates through with no markup, so the written per-cc breakdown is the real comparison.
