How much does Radiesse cost in Korea?

Syringe count is the whole story once the per-syringe figure is fixed. Radiesse is a ready-to-inject CaHA gel: one syringe is a realistic plan for a defined zone — jawline sharpening, marionette area, or the backs of the hands — while fuller lower-face rebuilding typically plans two or more syringes, sometimes staged across visits. Because the listed figure is per syringe, an honest quote states the syringe count next to the price rather than folding it into a package number.

Dilution and technique shift what one syringe achieves, not what it costs. Korean injectors increasingly use hyperdilute Radiesse for skin-quality work across broader areas, which stretches a syringe differently than bolus volumizing. The product cost is identical either way; what changes is whether your goal needs structure (undiluted, fewer zones per syringe) or surface improvement (hyperdilute, wider coverage). That decision is made at consultation, and it determines the syringe count far more than any price negotiation does.

Clinic tier explains the rest. A flagship-district practice bundles more imaging, planning time, and injector seniority into the same syringe than a volume-focused clinic does. Since Radiesse is not reversible the way HA filler is, paying for an unhurried assessment has concrete value here — the enzyme shortcut that rescues an HA mistake does not exist for CaHA.

The table shows ₩990,000 per Radiesse syringe against ₩590,000 per Sculptra vial, but the per-unit gap is not a verdict — the two products work on different clocks. Radiesse gives immediate volume plus a collagen response from one well-placed syringe; Sculptra builds gradually and is classically planned as a multi-vial course over several months, so a full Sculptra plan can involve more units even though each unit is listed lower.

The selection criteria that actually matter: how soon you want visible change (Radiesse shows on day one, Sculptra accrues), which area is being treated (CaHA is a standard choice for jawline and hands; PLLA favors diffuse facial volume loss), and how many return visits your travel schedule allows. Ask the clinic to price the complete plan for each product — total units, total visits — and compare those written totals rather than the single-unit figures.

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.
