Standing at Exit 6 of the Myeongdong subway station and searching for “Myeongdong hyaluronic acid injections” on your phone, a plethora of results appear: some claim it can be done for 80,000 won, while others mention a cost of 555,000 won. They are all called “hyaluronic acid injections,” but what exactly is the difference between them?
To save you the time of searching online, I spent an entire afternoon visiting five Dermatology clinics around the Myeongdong subway station and compiling all their prices, specializations, and environmental conditions in one place. If you are also looking for information and wondering which clinic in Myeongdong is the best for hyaluronic acid injections, then this article is exactly what you need.
In a nutshell: If you have a limited budget and want to give medical beauty treatments a try, choose doctorpetit’s basic water-light treatment (starting from ₩80,000); if you value cost-effectiveness and a great experience, go for LIJIN Rejuran PN; if you prioritize service quality and 24/7 availability, consider REBERRY; if you’re looking for a high-end, one-stop solution, consider DayBeau (a fixed-price package starting from ₩949,000).
First of all, it’s important to understand that there is actually more than one type of hyaluronic acid injection.
One of the biggest misconceptions among newcomers to Myeongdong is the belief that “hyaluronic acid injections mean one specific product at one fixed price.” In reality, the term “hyaluronic acid injections” used by clinics in South Korea actually refers to at least three different types of treatments.
- Basic Hydration Type: This type involves the injection of pure Filler, which serves to deeply hydrate and retain moisture. The effects generally last for 1 to 2 months. This is the most common type, with prices ranging from ¥88,000 to ¥100,000.
- Effect-enhancing formulas: Filler combined with vitamins, whitening ingredients, or anti-aging substances, designed to address specific skin issues. Prices range from approximately ¥120,000 to ¥180,000.
- Regenerative and restorative types: Representative examples include Rejuran (which contains PN polynucleotides), or Juvelook/Jo雅露 (which contain PLA particles). In addition to hydrating the skin, these products can also stimulate the regeneration of natural collagen, resulting in longer-lasting effects (3–12 months). Their prices range from NT$925,000 to NT$550,000.
After understanding this, let’s take a look at which specific areas each clinic specializes in.
I visited these five places, and at each one, I inquired about the prices and my overall experience there.
① Doctorpetit – the most affordable option for beginners looking to try hyaluronic acid injections
The first place we visited was the Myeongdong doctorpetit clinic, which specializes in Juvelook baby-faced glow treatments. As soon as you enter, you can immediately sense its youthful-oriented approach – the interior design is bright and minimalist, and the counters are labeled in Chinese, so communication is not a concern at all.
Key pricing information:
- Basic Glow Injection: Starting from ¥980,000
- Juvelook Youthful Glow Serum: Starting from ¥922,000
- IPL Photorejuvenation: Starting from ¥970,000
In a nutshell: If you just want to experience what glow injections are like and aren’t willing to spend much money, this is the most affordable option available. The downside is that it doesn’t include Rejuran or any extremely high-end treatments; it’s more suitable for those looking to try something new rather than for those seeking in-depth anti-aging treatments.
② REBERRY —— Offers the best service experience and operates 24/7 throughout the year.
REBERRY is one of the few Dermatology clinics in Myeongdong that are open “around the clock throughout the year,” which is a huge plus for tourists – there’s no need to worry about having to make a trip on a weekend. Located on the 3rd floor near the main street of Myeongdong, its waiting area is spacious and well-lit, and it also offers AI-based skin analysis devices – something that you hardly find at cheaper clinics.
Key pricing information:
- Basic Glow Injection: Starting from ¥9.2 million
- Rejuran PN: 330,000 to 350,000 yen
- Juvelook + Hyaluronic Acid Injection Package: Starting from ¥9.55 million
- Thread lifting: Starting from ¥970,000
In a nutshell: If you want the best experience – AI screening, personal consultation by the clinic director, and services available throughout the year – REBERRY is definitely the top choice. However, the basic glow treatment starts at 920,000 won, which is significantly more expensive than doctorpetit’s services. Those with limited budgets should consider this before making a decision. For the full price list, please refer to REBERRY’s pricing details.
③ LIJIN —— Rejuran PN offers the best value for money in its category.
LIJIN has an excellent reputation in Myeongdong – it’s not one of those tourist-oriented clinics with a standardized service process, but rather a professional Dermatology clinic that even locals would choose to visit. The director personally provides consultations and treatments, without delegating the work to nurses. I have previously undergone Potenza treatments at their clinic (you can refer to my experience here: LIJIN Potenza Treatment Experience), and I was very satisfied with the service.
Key pricing information:
- Rejuran PN (for a single area): Starting from ¥925,000
- Basic Glow Injection: Starting from ¥915,000
- Potenza: Starting from ¥3.3 million
In a nutshell: If you want to try Rejuran PN but don’t want to spend over 9.5 million won, LIJIN is the most cost-effective option in Myeongdong. With the high quality standards ensured by the director himself, it’s really hard to find another place that offers this service for just 9.25 million won.
④ DayBeau —— A high-end one-stop service package
DayBeau adopts a high-end approach in Myeongdong – instead of charging by individual services, it offers a “package deal” at a fixed price of 949,000 won, which includes hyaluronic acid injections, calming treatments, and LED light therapy in one comprehensive service. The clinic is modernly designed, with well-equipped makeup areas (including Dyson hair dryers and touch-up stations), making it perfect for going out on a date right after the treatment.
Key pricing information:
- Hydroglow treatment package (including hydroglow therapy, sedation, and LED therapy): ¥9.49 million, fixed price for all customers
- Botulinum toxin: Starting from ¥330,000
- Onda Microwave Weight Loss Treatment: Starting from ¥9.59 million
In a nutshell: This option is suitable for those with ample budgets who prefer a one-stop solution. However, if you only want to undergo basic glow treatments, there’s no need to come here (₩490,000 vs doctorpetit’s ⩹₉80,000 – a difference of six times). For the full range of prices, please refer to Daybeau’s pricing details.
⑤ Lienjang – Combination of Juvelook and hyaluronic acid injections
Liyuan has several branches in Seoul, with the Myeongdong branch located near a subway station, making it extremely convenient to access. What sets it apart is the ability to combine Juvelook treatments with glow injections – rather than offering fixed, standalone packages, the services can be customized to meet your specific needs.
Key pricing information:
- Juvelook (Blue Bottle/Black Bottle): ¥250,000 to ¥350,000
- Hydrogel needle + Juvelook combination package: starting from ¥9.4 million
- Titanium Lifting: Starting from ¥9.55 million
In a nutshell: If you want to combine Juvelook with hyaluronic acid injections, Liyan Chang is often a great choice. For the full price details, please refer to Liyan Chang’s regular pricing information.

⚠️ Before getting glow injections, make sure to check these 3 things first.
⚠️ Pit 1: Asking “How much does the hyaluronic acid injection cost?” without clarifying your specific needs
If you directly ask “How much does the glow injection cost?”, the clinic might quote the lowest basic price for this treatment (₩80,000). However, in reality, what you might need is the Rejuran treatment for ⩹₉25,000 or the Juvelook package for ⩹₉40,000.
→ How to avoid this: Clearly state the problem you want to address when making an appointment (hydrating the skin? Anti-aging? Improving Pores?). Let the clinic recommend the appropriate treatments and then inquire about the prices.
⚠️ Mistake 2: Assuming that all clinics use the same products
Both products are called “Rejuran,” but some clinics use the genuine black box version (containing 2% PN), while others use the white box version or HB Plus (with different ingredients). The price difference of ¥50,000 to ¥100,000 is not arbitrary; it is due to the actual differences in the products themselves.
→ How to avoid it: Make sure you ask specifically “which product” it is and request to see the packaging box for verification (genuine products always come with anti-counterfeiting codes on their boxes).
⚠️ Pit 3: You can walk in on weekends, but you may have to wait for a long time or fail to get a appointment.
On weekends, Myeongdong is crowded with tourists. Some clinics, such as REBERRY which are open throughout the year, have extremely long queues on weekend afternoons; other clinics, like LIJIN, are closed on Sundays. Therefore, visiting these places without making an appointment in advance is likely to be in vain.
→ How to avoid it: At least 2-3 days before your trip, confirm the schedule through BeautsGO and make a reservation in advance. If you plan to go on a weekend, REBERRY is the preferred option (it is open all year round).
❓ Common issues with Hyaluronic Acid injections in Myeongdong
Q: How long does it take for the effects of hyaluronic acid injections to become visible? What is the recovery period?
A: The effects of the basic hydrodermal needle treatment can be seen on the same day (the needle holes heal within 24 hours), and the skin achieves its optimal glow 3 to 5 days later. Since Rejuran and Juvelook are regenerative and reparative products, their effects will gradually become apparent within 2 to 4 weeks and last for 6 to 12 months. It is recommended to avoid wearing makeup, drinking alcohol, or using saunas within 3 days after the treatment.
Q: Which of these 5 places in Myeongdong offers the cheapest services?
A: In terms of price alone, the most affordable basic hydrogel treatment is offered by doctorpetit (starting from ₩980,000); the cheapest Rejuran PN option is provided by LIJIN (starting from ₩925,000). If you opt for the Juvelook package, Liyan Chang (starting from ₩940,000) is cheaper than REBERRY (starting from ₩955,000). However, it’s important to remember that low cost doesn’t necessarily mean that a product is right for you.
Q: What if I don’t know Korean? Which Chinese-speaking institution is the best?
A: Both doctorpetit and Lijin usually provide Chinese-language services and have staff who can communicate in Chinese. At LIJIN, the front desk staff can speak both Chinese and English. At REBERRY, you can indicate the language you prefer during the reservation through BeautsGO, and they will assign a consultant who speaks that language. DayBeau also offers Chinese menus and consulting services. The clinics in Myeongdong have well-developed language support services for foreigners, so you don’t need to worry too much.
Q: What is the difference between hyaluronic acid injections and Juvelook/Juvelook?
A: Hyaluronic acid injections involve the injection of liquid substances (mainly for hydration), while Juvelook/Juvelook treatments use microparticles for injection (providing both hydration and stimulating collagen production). The effects of the latter method are more lasting (6–12 months), but the cost is also higher. In simple terms, basic hyaluronic acid injections can be considered daily skincare, while Juvelook treatments represent an advanced anti-aging approach. If it’s your first time trying these treatments, it is recommended to start with the basic hyaluronic acid injections first.
Q: Is it necessary to make a reservation to get glow injections in Myeongdong?
A: It is highly recommended to make an appointment in advance! This is especially true for weekends and popular clinics. Although doctorpetit accepts walk-in patients, you may have to wait for more than 40 minutes during peak hours. It is advisable to book your appointment 2-3 days in advance through BeautsGO.
Q: Are there any other options besides these 5?
A: There are still many Dermatology clinics in Myeongdong, but these 5 are the ones I have actually visited and confirmed to offer glow injection treatments with clear pricing information. For a more comprehensive comparison of clinics in Myeongdong, you can refer to ”’ + LN_Top5 + ”’ and ”’ + LN_LAZYBAG + ”’.
