How much does glass-skin treatment cost in Korea?
"Glass skin" in Korea is not one procedure but a combination, so the cost depends on what your plan includes. A single water-glow injection session runs about ₩99,000–250,000, a skin-booster program (such as Rejuran or Juvelook) ₩199,000–440,000, and a 3-session glow package ₩450,000–1,100,000, with laser toning or soothing treatments added per session. All figures below are standard self-pay list prices with VAT included.
Glass-skin treatment prices in Korea
Standard self-pay ranges, VAT included. Glass skin is usually built from several elements — a hydrating injection, a skin booster, and sometimes laser toning — so most clinics quote both per-session and package prices.
| Procedure | Unit | Range (KRW) | Approx. (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water-glow injection | per session | ₩99,000 – ₩250,000 | ~$64 – $162 |
| Skin-booster program (Rejuran / Juvelook) | per session | ₩199,000 – ₩440,000 | ~$129 – $286 |
| Laser toning add-on (pico / toning) | per session | ₩110,000 – ₩190,000 | ~$71 – $123 |
| LDM ultrasound soothing | per session | ₩80,000 – ₩180,000 | ~$52 – $117 |
| Glass-skin glow package | 3-session course | ₩450,000 – ₩1,100,000 | ~$292 – $714 |
Standard self-pay rates, VAT included. USD is approximate at ~₩1,540 = $1 (July 2026). Your written quote is the binding figure.
What sets your glass-skin price
The biggest driver is how many elements your plan combines. A single hydrating injection is the entry point; adding a skin booster, laser toning, or a soothing ultrasound step each raises the total, which is why a package covering a course of sessions costs more than a one-off but usually less per session.
The product matters within the skin-booster line. Different boosters — for example Rejuran or Juvelook — sit at different price points and are chosen for different goals, so the ₩199,000–440,000 range reflects the product and the number of areas, not a single fixed service.
The honest way to compare quotes is to check what is inside the package: how many sessions, which injection or booster, and whether laser toning is included. A free consultation returns an itemized quote so you are comparing the same contents.
What "glass skin" actually involves
Glass skin describes a smooth, hydrated, even-toned finish rather than a single machine or injection. In Korean clinics it is usually approached with hydrating micro-injections to add moisture, a skin booster to support skin quality, and sometimes laser toning to even out tone — combined and paced over a short course.
Because it is a combination, cheaper is not automatically better or worse: the right mix depends on your skin and your goal. A free consultation with a KHIDI-registered clinic can set a realistic plan and pace rather than selling a fixed package sight unseen.
VAT is included — and there is no refund in 2026
Every glass-skin figure 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, so these treatments are not refundable at the airport this year. The price you are quoted is the price you pay.
FAQ
How much does glass-skin treatment cost in Korea?
A single water-glow injection session runs about ₩99,000–250,000 (≈$64–162), a skin-booster program ₩199,000–440,000 (≈$129–286), and a 3-session glow package ₩450,000–1,100,000 (≈$292–714). These are standard self-pay list prices with VAT included.
Is glass skin a single treatment?
No. Glass skin is a combination — typically a hydrating injection, a skin booster, and sometimes laser toning — paced over a short course, which is why clinics quote both per-session and package prices.
Why do skin-booster prices vary within the range?
Different boosters, such as Rejuran or Juvelook, sit at different price points and are chosen for different goals, and the number of areas treated also changes the total. The range reflects the product and the plan rather than one fixed service.
Does the glass-skin price include VAT, and can I get it refunded in 2026?
The prices here are VAT-inclusive. The foreign-patient VAT refund on cosmetic and aesthetic procedures expired on 31 December 2025 and was not extended for 2026, so it is not refundable this year.
