Questions

Do I need a Korean visa for cosmetic treatments?

Korea has a medical tourism visa (C-3-3). Whether you need one depends on your nationality and length of stay, so check with the Korean embassy or the clinic's international desk before you book.

Are Korean dermatology prices lower than in the US?

Often, but quotes vary a lot by clinic, doctor and the exact product used. Ask for a written quote that includes anesthesia, follow-up visits and VAT before you compare.

Where does the celebrity information in this article come from?

Each brand deal on beauof is tied to the brand's own announcement or a news report, and the celeb page lists those sources with the date we last checked them. Deals we could not confirm are not shown.

Are prices up to date?

Prices are what we found at a Korean or global retailer on the date shown on each product page. Retail prices change often, so check the store before you buy.
