Pricing structure, not just price level: the Korea vs Turkey skin treatment cost breakdown turns on published itemized KRW rates in Seoul — for example ₩1,090,000 (≈ $779) for Ultherapy Prime 300 shots at Kind Global Clinic — versus the quote-based, travel-bundled package model common in Turkish aesthetic tourism.
Turkey and Korea are both major medical-travel destinations, but they sell treatment in structurally different ways, and that structure decides what your final invoice looks like. Turkish aesthetic tourism grew around surgical packages — hair transplants, rhinoplasty, dental work — where the clinic quotes one bundled figure that often folds in hotel nights and airport transfers. It is a genuinely convenient model for surgery-plus-recovery trips, and for travelers starting in Europe the short flight adds real savings. The trade-off: a bundled quote is hard to itemize, hard to compare between providers, and hard to audit when the treatment scope changes after arrival.
Korean non-surgical skin care runs on the opposite model. Clinics compete in a dense domestic market where prices are published per procedure, per shot count, per cc — so a foreign patient can read the same menu a Seoul local reads. At Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong the published list covers every category on one page: Botox wrinkle lines from ₩89,000 (≈ $64), Juvederm filler at Varies by area · from ₩349,000 (≈ $249) per 1cc, Pico Toning from ₩89,000 (≈ $64) per session, up to Ultherapy Prime at ₩1,090,000 (≈ $779) for 300 shots. The same KRW figure applies to Korean and international patients, consultation and interpretation add zero fees, and the co-director who quotes your plan — Dr. Lee Wonjin (KR Medical License 143124) or Dr. Lee Kangin (KR Medical License 141247) — is the physician who performs it.
This page walks the cost breakdown line by line — procedure, consultation, interpreter, consumable verification, aftercare, travel — so you can compare the two destinations on the components that actually build your total, not on headline numbers that cover different things.
