Botox in Hongdae: 10 Clinics Sorted by Brand, Unit and VAT Disclosure
No toxin maker publishes a Korean clinic list, so the useful signal is how much a clinic writes down: which brand, how many units, and whether the price includes VAT.
Before the list: what Botox is
Botulinum toxin in Korea comes from several makers: domestic brands (Botulax, Nabota, Meditoxin, Hitox, Innotox and others), German Xeomin, and American Botox. The same jaw treatment can be priced three ways depending on the vial, so the brand is the first thing to read.
The second is the unit. Jaw (masseter) botox is usually 50 or 100 units, wrinkle botox is priced per area, and “one area” is defined differently by different clinics. A price with no unit cannot be compared.
The third is VAT and conditions. Korea adds 10% VAT to cosmetic procedures; many sites show pre-VAT prices, and the lowest figures usually require a first visit, a review, or adding a messaging channel.
No toxin manufacturer publishes a Korean clinic list, so this shortlist is built from what each clinic writes on its own website, read on September 22, 2026. Clinics already in our Hongdae Thermage shortlist were left out.

No manufacturer clinic finder exists for botulinum toxin; ordering is by how much each clinic discloses (brand, unit, VAT). Compiled September 22, 2026 from each clinic's own website; this is not a ranking — the order reflects how much each clinic publishes.
The 10 clinics, one by one
Each entry shows only what the clinic itself publishes. “Not published” means the figure was not on the clinic’s website as text on the reading date — it does not mean the clinic has no price.

How to choose a Botox clinic in Hongdae
A “from” price is the cheapest item on the menu, not the price of your area — ask for yours specifically.
FAQ
Which Hongdae botox clinics name the brand they use?
On September 22, 2026, three did: Nine Clinic (Xeomin, plus a domestic option), Cellin Clinic (Hitox) and Lizon Clinic (Innotox). VandS Hongdae and Abijou Hongdae state origin (domestic, German, American) without a brand name; the others state neither.
How much does jaw botox cost in Hongdae?
Published examples on the same date: domestic jaw ₩4,900 first-session at VandS Hongdae (standard ₩14,000) and ₩17,900 for 50 units at Abijou Hongdae; German jaw ₩65,000 at VandS and ₩79,000 for 50 units at Abijou; American jaw ₩129,000–140,000 at VandS. All VAT excluded. Other clinics publish “from” prices without units.
Is there an official list of botox clinics in Korea?
No. Allergan, Hugel, Medytox and Daewoong publish no Korean clinic finder, and Merz's finder covers Ultherapy only. This shortlist rests on what each clinic publishes on its own website and is not a ranking.
- No manufacturer clinic finder exists for botulinum toxin in Korea (Allergan, Hugel, Medytox, Daewoong and Merz Xeomin sites checked) — checked September 22, 2026. Allergan's Korean domains were unreachable or blocked, Hugel, Medytox and Daewoong sites have no clinic list, and Merz's finder covers Ultherapy only. A clinic is included on the strength of its own website: a published toxin menu with brand or origin, unit or area, and a price or VAT statement. Candidates came from the Thermage and Ultherapy finder lists for Mapo-gu. https://www.hugel-inc.com/kr
- Each clinic’s own website — the page linked under each entry above, read on September 22, 2026. Only text that appears on those pages is used; nothing was obtained by phone or consultation.
