Frequently asked questions
Is imported Botox better?
Both Korean and imported toxins are used widely. Some people prefer imported brands, for example for a lower chance of resistance with frequent treatment. Dr. Song can explain the options for your situation.
Is this Live Young Clinic's official price?
No. These are typical price ranges seen at Gangnam clinics in 2026, gathered from public clinic price pages and price-comparison sites, so you can budget before you travel. Live Young Clinic confirms your exact fee after Dr. Song has assessed your skin and agreed a plan with you, before any treatment starts.
Is VAT included, and can foreigners get it refunded?
Most Gangnam clinics quote cosmetic treatments before the 10% VAT. The tourist VAT refund on cosmetic procedures has ended and, as of September 2026, an extension was still under review, so plan on paying the full VAT and check the current rule when you book.
