Dermatology ClinicWhere to Get Botox: Seoul or Busan, Korea? How to choose a Botox clinic in Korea, and what Busan offers if your trip includes the south coast
Good Botox in Korea comes down to the doctor, the brand and the dose, not the city. If you are in Seoul, choose a clinic there using the checklist below. If your trip includes Busan, JRYN Seomyeon publishes its Botox prices by brand so you can compare like for like.
Where should I get Botox in Korea: Seoul or Busan?
Get Botox in the city where you are staying long enough to see the result. Botox takes about 3–7 days to start working and about 2 weeks to reach its full effect, so the best clinic is one you can reach again if a touch-up is needed. Both Seoul and Busan have many dermatology clinics; what matters is a doctor-led consultation, a named brand, a clear dose and a price confirmed before injection.
If you are visiting Busan, JRYN Dermatology Seomyeon lists wrinkle Botox from ₩10,000 per area (Korean toxin), Coretox ₩20,000 , Dysport ₩50,000 and Allergan ₩58,000 . Square-jaw Botox starts from ₩15,000 .

Botox: Seoul or Busan FAQ
Still have questions? Message us on WhatsApp and we will answer in English.
Is Botox in Seoul better than in Busan?
Not inherently. The same toxin brands are used across Korea, and results depend on the doctor’s assessment and injection plan. Choose the city where you will stay long enough for the result to settle, then compare clinics on doctor, brand, dose and price.
How much is Botox in Busan?
At JRYN Seomyeon, wrinkle Botox for one area costs ₩10,000 with Korean toxin, ₩20,000 with Coretox, ₩50,000 with Dysport and ₩58,000 with Allergan. Square-jaw Botox starts from ₩15,000. Your doctor confirms the number of areas and the total before treatment.
What should I ask a Botox clinic in Korea?
Ask who will inject, which brand will be used, how many units or areas are included, and whether the price you were quoted is the total. Also ask what to do if one side looks different after 2 weeks.
How long after Botox can I fly?
Most people can fly the next day. Botox has minimal downtime, but avoid rubbing the area and lying flat for a few hours after treatment. Because the full effect takes about 2 weeks, treat early in your trip if you want to see the result before you leave.
Which Botox brand should I choose?
Korean toxins are the most affordable and widely used. Coretox, Dysport and Allergan cost more, and some people prefer them for personal or brand reasons. Your doctor can explain the differences for your treatment area.
Can I get Botox the same day I arrive in Busan?
Often, yes. Same-day consultations are possible when there is availability, and Botox can usually be done straight after the consultation if it suits you. Booking ahead on WhatsApp is recommended, especially on Saturdays.
How far is JRYN from Busan Station?
Take subway Line 1 from Busan Station to Seomyeon, then walk about 8 minutes from Exit 2, or 3 minutes from Seomyeon underground mall Exit 16. The clinic is on the 4th floor of Samjeong Tower, 672 Jungang-daero.
