Collagen Injections in Korea: Restore Firmness and Volume for Youthful Skin

As collagen production naturally decreases with age, the skin begins to lose firmness, elasticity, and volume—leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging. Collagen injections offer a minimally invasive way to stimulate the skin’s own repair mechanisms while restoring structure and smoothness. In Korea, collagen-based treatments are increasingly popular due to their natural results, safety, and effectiveness.

Clinics in Seoul’s Gangnam, Apgujeong, and Myeongdong districts specialize in advanced collagen-stimulating injectables, performed by expert dermatologists using KMFDS- and FDA-approved products.


Cost of Collagen Injections in Korea

Pricing varies based on the product used, number of vials, and treated area. Here’s a general breakdown:

  • Collagen-Stimulating Filler (e.g., Sculptra, Ellansé): ₩400,000–₩900,000 per vial
  • Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injections: ₩500,000–₩1,000,000 per session
  • PCL Collagen Boosters (e.g., DermaVeil, Rejuran Tone-Up): ₩300,000–₩600,000
  • Injectable Collagen (Type I or Marine-derived): ₩200,000–₩500,000 per session
  • Treatment Packages (3 sessions): ₩900,000–₩2,500,000

Most collagen treatments show visible improvement after 2–3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with results lasting up to 2 years, depending on the formulation.


What Are Collagen Injections?

Collagen injections work by either directly supplementing collagen into the skin or by stimulating the skin’s natural collagen production. These treatments:

  • Restore lost facial volume
  • Improve skin elasticity and texture
  • Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
  • Promote long-term skin regeneration

They are often used in the cheeks, temples, jawline, nasolabial folds, and under the eyes, and can also treat neck, hands, and décolleté areas.
