Travel times vary with traffic and service schedules. If you plan to visit on your arrival day, allow extra time for immigration, baggage collection, and transportation.

The consultation fee is 55,000 KRW, including a Mark-Vu skin analysis. This fee is waived if you proceed with treatment on the same day.

The analysis helps assess concerns such as visible pores, wrinkles, pigmentation, and sebum-related features. Your doctor reviews the findings alongside an in-person examination and your treatment goals.

Yes. Mark-Vu reports are available in 11 languages: Korean, English, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Portuguese, and Polish.

You can access your report on your phone through a QR code and keep it for future reference.

We accept major international credit cards, Apple Pay, and cash in Korean won.

No deposit or advance payment is required to reserve an appointment. Your treatment plan and costs are discussed at the clinic before you decide to proceed.

The special VAT refund scheme for foreign visitors receiving eligible cosmetic medical treatments ended for services provided after December 31, 2025. Treatments received in 2026 therefore do not qualify under that scheme.

This is a national policy change rather than a clinic-specific decision. Our team can explain the applicable charges before treatment.

Yes. We charge the same prices regardless of nationality.

Your total cost depends on the treatments selected, the products used, the treatment volume or dosage, and the number of sessions recommended. These details are discussed during your consultation.

Treatments with the same name may differ in the product, quantity, device, treatment settings, and level of personalized care included.

At Nest Clinic Gangnam, we focus on:

• Clear quantities: Your plan specifies the product and treatment amount.
• Product transparency: You can ask to see injectable products and applicable single-use tips unsealed before treatment.
• Individual assessment: Recommendations reflect your consultation, skin analysis, and examination.
• Doctor experience: Our doctors hold manufacturer-appointed Key Doctor roles involving physician education.
• Selected lifting platforms: Our lifting options include Ultherapy PRIME, Thermage FLX, and XERF. We do not offer InMode, Onda, or Oligio.

Our pricing reflects a boutique approach with time for consultation and an individually planned treatment.

Our approach centers on personal attention, direct communication, and treatment planning around the individual.

You receive care from an all-female, English-speaking team. Your doctor considers your skin condition, facial or body structure, preferences, and previous treatments before recommending a plan.

Our doctors also hold Key Doctor appointments with filler manufacturers. These roles involve sharing product knowledge and injection techniques with other physicians.

Appointments are arranged to allow time for assessment, questions, and a clear explanation of your options.

These devices use different technologies to address skin laxity and firmness.

Ultherapy PRIME provides ultrasound visualization during treatment. XERF uses two radiofrequency frequencies, distinguishing it from a simple equivalent of Thermage.

The most suitable option depends on your skin laxity, facial structure, existing volume, and goals. Your doctor may recommend one treatment or a combination where appropriate.

Mark-Vu imaging supports the skin assessment, while the physical examination and any relevant device imaging guide treatment selection and settings.

There is no single amount that suits everyone.

The appropriate volume depends on your body frame, existing contours, asymmetry, treatment area, and desired result. A preliminary estimate may be possible before your visit, but the final recommendation requires an in-person assessment.

Your doctor will discuss whether filler is suitable, which product would be used, the proposed volume, and the relevant risks and aftercare before treatment.

The first step is to determine whether the concern comes from volume loss, skin laxity, or a combination of both.

For naturally lean faces, preserving existing volume is an important consideration. Depending on your assessment, your doctor may discuss carefully selected skin-tightening treatments, dermal fillers, or collagen-stimulating treatments such as Sculptra or Radiesse.

The aim is to improve balance while respecting your natural facial structure. Not every treatment is suitable for every area or face.

Under-eye concerns can have several causes, including structural volume loss, thin skin, pigmentation, and visible blood vessels.

Treatment depends on the underlying concern. Your doctor may discuss options for skin quality or, where appropriate, carefully selected treatment for volume loss.

The under-eye area requires particular care. Not all fillers or collagen-stimulating products are suitable for direct use in this area, and some concerns may be better addressed without injections. Recommendations are made after an in-person assessment.

You do not need to choose a device or procedure before your visit.

Our One-Day programs are organized around concerns such as facial lifting, double chin contouring, nasolabial folds, visible pores, and body contouring.

After your skin analysis and consultation, your doctor will discuss which treatments are appropriate and whether they can be combined in one visit. Program pricing offers savings compared with booking the same included treatments separately.

The final plan also takes your recovery time and travel schedule into account.

Yes. We offer skin care treatments for patients who prefer options beyond injections and laser procedures.

Available treatments include:

• Aqua Peel: Hydradermabrasion for cleansing and exfoliation.
• Lala Peel: An LHA-based peeling treatment.
• Black Peel: A peeling option for selected oily or breakout-prone skin concerns.

• FCR: A resurfacing treatment.
• Q-Facial: A facial treatment focused on cleansing and hydration.
