2026 Best Skin Treatments in Seoul

In 2026, the global beauty trend has shifted toward high-performance preservation and preventative maintenance. Rather than waiting for signs of aging to appear, modern dermatology focuses on Prejuvenation—a proactive approach that combines advanced technology with biocompatible boosters to maintain the skin's youthful structure indefinitely.

At Forena Clinic, located in the heart of Hongdae, we specialize in the "Korean Idol" aesthetic, utilizing Treatment Stacking to achieve editorial-level results with minimal downtime. Below is a comprehensive guide to our 2026 skin treatment pillars and exclusive pricing.

1. Cost-Effective Daily Maintenance

Essential treatments designed for frequent skin barrier repair and quick refreshes for those visiting Seoul.

LDM (Skin Barrier): 6 Minutes for 97,900 won or 12 Minutes for 121,000 won.
Wrinkle Botox: 20,900 won for one area using Liztox or Wondertox.
VRM 4 Toning: 55,000 won per session for general brightening.
PicoSure Toning: 88,000 won per session for advanced pigmentation care.

2. Treatment Stacking (Combination Therapy)

Synergistic protocols that target multiple skin layers simultaneously for maximum impact.

The Gold Standard Lift: Combining Ultherapy Prime (300 shots) and Thermage FLX (600 shots) for 3,839,000 won to achieve deep structural lifting and surface tightening.
The Snatched Profile: Combining ONDA (60,000 J) for 759,000 won and SS Slimfit Injection (200cc) for 275,000 won to improve facial and body contours.
The Glow Protocol: Combining Potenza (Pore Tip) for 275,000 won and a Juvelook Booster (2cc) for 253,000 won to refine pores and enhance hydration.

3. Prejuvenation: The Prevention Pillar

Strategic management for patients in their 20s to 40s to prevent structural aging before it begins.

Wrinkle Botox: Prevents dynamic lines from becoming permanent wrinkles.
Collagen Boosters: Uses products like Juvelook (495,000 won for 4cc) or Radiesse to support long-term volume and skin health.
Ultherapy Prime: Deep structural lifting that stimulates collagen in the SMAS layer for long-lasting contouring.

Understanding Your Toxin (Botox Brand Guide)

Choosing the right brand is key to long-term results and preventing resistance.

Xeomin (Germany): A "pure" toxin with no complexing proteins, ideal for avoiding resistance over time (53,900 won per area).
Allergan (USA): The original precision leader with low spread, perfect for targeted areas like the eyes (75,900 won per area).
Dysport (UK): Faster onset and wider diffusion, making it best for forehead lines and large body areas (75,900 won per area).
Korean Brands (Liztox/Coretox): High-quality, cost-effective options for regular "Prejuvenation" maintenance starting from 20,900 won.
