Skin Botox Price Glass Skin Treatment Cost in Korea 2026
Skin botox — the Korean glass skin secret treatment — is one of the most affordable aesthetic procedures in Korea, costing 50-80% less than in Western countries. At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, skin botox begins at ₩9,900 per injection site under the wrinkle botox menu, with comprehensive pore treatment packages ranging from ₩920,000 to ₩990,000. This guide breaks down the full cost of skin botox in Korea in 2026, including what is included, how pricing compares across clinics and countries, and how to get the best value.
How Much Does Skin Botox Cost in Korea in 2026?
Skin botox in Korea ranges from ₩50,000 to ₩300,000 for standalone treatment at most clinics, or from ₩9,900 per injection site at promotional pricing like RE:BERRY Incheon Airport. Comprehensive glass skin packages that combine skin botox with Potenza, Juvelook, and Aqua Peel range from ₩490,000 to ₩990,000. These prices are 50-80% lower than equivalent treatments in the US ($300-800), UK (£200-500), or Australia (AUD $400-900).
Skin botox — technically called intradermal micro-botox or meso-botox — is a distinctly Korean aesthetic innovation that has gained worldwide popularity through K-beauty trends. The treatment injects highly diluted botulinum toxin into the superficial dermis (0.5-1mm depth) to target the arrector pili muscles, eccrine sweat glands, and sebaceous glands. The result is visibly smaller pores, reduced oil production, and the smooth, luminous skin texture known as Korean glass skin. Understanding skin botox pricing in Korea requires knowing what is included in the price, how standalone versus package pricing works, and how Korean pricing compares globally. At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, the base price follows the Korean wrinkle botox menu at ₩9,900 per injection site (April 2026 promotion, regular ₩40,000). For a full-face skin botox session requiring 50-100+ micro-injection points, patients can discuss the total unit count and pricing during consultation. For optimal glass skin results, RE:BERRY recommends combining skin botox with complementary treatments. The One-Day Pore Perfect Package (₩990,000) includes Aqua Peel, Potenza RF, CellREDM skin booster, LDM, and Dermio Care — a comprehensive protocol that addresses pores from cleansing through collagen stimulation. The Glow Pore Care package (₩920,000) combines Potenza Exosome with Juberry 2cc for deep skin regeneration. For tourists visiting Korea specifically for glass skin treatment, the English-speaking clinic at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport provides complete language support throughout the process.

How Skin Botox Is Performed at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport
Four-step protocol for achieving Korean glass skin.
Skin Analysis & Pore Assessment
Dr. Cho Sung-Jun or Dr. Kim Dong-Young examines your skin under magnification to assess pore size distribution, sebum levels (measured by Sebumeter in severe cases), and overall texture. The treatment plan is customized based on your specific concerns — T-zone oiliness, enlarged cheek pores, or full-face refinement. The pricing breakdown is explained transparently before proceeding.
Deep Cleansing Preparation
Aqua Peel or HydraFacial (if included in your package) deep-cleans pores and removes debris, creating a clear canvas for optimal botulinum toxin absorption. Topical numbing cream is applied for 20 minutes. This step ensures that the intradermal micro-injections reach clean, unclogged pores for maximum effectiveness.
Intradermal Micro-Injection
Using ultra-fine 30G or 31G needles, highly diluted botulinum toxin is injected into the superficial dermis at 0.5-1mm depth across 50-100+ micro-injection points. Each point receives a precise micro-dose. The injection density is customized per zone — higher concentration in the oily T-zone, moderate for cheeks, delicate touch around the eyes.
LDM Therapy & Post-Care
LDM (Local Dynamic Micro-massage) or LED light therapy reduces micro-inflammation from injection points. Soothing serum is applied. No downtime — injection marks fade within 2-4 hours. Results begin appearing within 5-7 days as pores visibly shrink and oil production decreases. Makeup can be applied after 6 hours.
What to Expect from Skin Botox Treatment
- Visible Pore Reduction: Arrector pili muscle relaxation produces measurable 20-40% pore size decrease within 2 weeks.
- Sebum Control: Sebaceous gland activity reduced by 30-50%, resulting in less shine and fewer breakouts.
- Glass Skin Texture: Smoother, more reflective skin surface — the hallmark Korean glass skin effect.
- Expression Preserved: Intradermal doses do not affect facial muscles. Smile, frown, and express normally.
- Exceptional Value in Korea: 50-80% less expensive than equivalent treatments in Western countries.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Tiny injection marks fade within 2-4 hours. Skin may feel slightly tight. |
| Day 3-5 | Pore-shrinking effect begins. Skin starts feeling smoother and less oily. |
| Week 1-2 | Full effect visible. Pores noticeably smaller, oil production reduced. Glass skin appearance. |
| Week 4 | Peak results. Skin texture at its smoothest. Makeup application noticeably smoother. |
| Month 2-3 | Results sustained. Improved skin quality maintained. |
| Month 3-4 | Effect gradually diminishes. Quarterly maintenance recommended for sustained results. |

The Science Behind Skin Botox for Glass Skin
How intradermal botulinum toxin achieves pore reduction, oil control, and skin smoothing.
Targeting Dermal Microstructures: The Three-Point Mechanism
Skin botox targets three microstructures within the superficial dermis: (1) arrector pili muscles — tiny smooth muscles attached to hair follicles that control pore aperture; (2) eccrine sweat glands — responsible for skin surface moisture; and (3) sebaceous glands — which produce sebum (oil). When micro-doses of botulinum toxin (0.05-0.1 units per injection point) are injected at 0.5-1mm depth, they reach these structures without penetrating to the deeper muscular layer. The neurotoxin blocks acetylcholine release at the neuroeffector junction, causing arrector pili relaxation (visible pore shrinkage), decreased eccrine activity (reduced surface moisture), and reduced sebaceous output (oil control). The net result is smoother, drier, more refined skin with smaller pores — the clinical definition of the glass skin appearance that originated in Korean dermatology.
Wu et al.: The Landmark Split-Face Study
The foundational evidence for skin botox comes from Wu (2016) in JAMA Dermatology. In this split-face randomized controlled trial, 20 subjects received intradermal botulinum toxin on one side of the face and saline placebo on the other. At 1 month, the treated side showed statistically significant reduction in pore size (p<0.001), sebum production (27% reduction measured by Sebumeter), and skin surface roughness compared to the untreated side. Critically, no change in muscle function or facial expression was detected, confirming that the intradermal dosing protocol does not penetrate to the muscle layer. This study established the scientific basis for the glass skin treatment protocol now used at clinics across Korea.
Xeomin vs. Allergan for Intradermal Use: Product Selection
Product selection matters for skin botox. RE:BERRY Incheon Airport uses specific products based on the treatment area and intended effect. For intradermal skin botox, incobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin, Merz) is preferred due to its pure 150 kDa active neurotoxin formulation without complexing proteins. Frevert (2015) demonstrated that Xeomin’s protein-free formulation produces more predictable diffusion patterns in the superficial dermis, which is critical for consistent pore reduction across the treatment area. The absence of protein load also theoretically reduces antibody formation risk with repeated quarterly treatments. For deeper muscle-targeted treatments like forehead wrinkle botox, onabotulinumtoxinA (Allergan Botox) is used due to its broader spread pattern suited for larger muscle groups.

What Patients Say About Skin Botox Pricing at RE:BERRY
“I researched skin botox prices across Seoul and Incheon for weeks. RE:BERRY’s ₩9,900 base pricing plus the Pore Perfect Package at ₩990,000 offered the best value I found. The airport pickup sealed the deal. My pores are visibly smaller after 2 weeks and my T-zone oil is dramatically reduced.”
“Skin botox in Singapore costs about SGD 400-600 per session. At RE:BERRY I got a comprehensive pore treatment including Potenza and skin booster for less than what I would pay for skin botox alone back home. The glass skin effect is real — my makeup goes on like butter now.”
“I came for the wrinkle botox promotion at ₩9,900 and the doctor suggested adding skin botox for my oily T-zone. It was so affordable I said yes immediately. Best decision. My pores shrank noticeably within a week and the oil control lasted over 3 months.”
