OCEAN CLINIC GANGNAM PRICES 2026: ₩9,900 BOTOX TO ₩990K THERMAGE

Ocean Clinic Gangnam advertises a wrinkle botox entry tier at ₩9,900, which works out to roughly $7.10 at late-2026 exchange rates. That price is the headline reason foreign patients keep landing on the clinic's menu, and it is also the reason the real-world total deserves a line-by-line look. Below is the full 2026 price list for the clinic's active treatments, with VAT, upsell layers, and brand-level alternatives spelled out so the walk-in math is honest.

THE ₩9,900 WRINKLE BOTOX: WHAT IT ACTUALLY BUYS

The ₩9,900 line on Ocean Clinic's menu is a single-area wrinkle botox dose. One area means one targeted muscle group, so a patient picking it gets forehead lines, glabella (frown), or crow's feet, not all three. The clinic lists the price before VAT at 10%, so the checkout number is ₩10,890 for one area, about $7.80. The dose is designed as a trial tier for first-time patients and uses the clinic's standard Korean botulinum toxin stock rather than Allergan's Botox. For context on how Korean toxins differ from the Allergan reference, the Korean botox vs Allergan comparison walks through units, onset, and duration.

The upsell path from ₩9,900 is predictable at Ocean Clinic. A consultant will suggest adding a second area to balance brow symmetry, and will often recommend upgrading to a branded toxin for longer duration. Each added area is charged at the same ₩9,900 band, so three areas (forehead, glabella, crow's feet) comes in at ₩29,700 before VAT, roughly ₩32,670 or $23.30 all-in. That is still the cheapest credible botox pricing in Gangnam, and it is the reason the clinic's volume numbers run so high. Full menu context on how to parse the rest of a Korean clinic price list is covered in How to Read a Korean Clinic Price Menu.

SKIN BOTOX AT ₩99,000: PORE SHRINK AND OIL CONTROL

Separate from the wrinkle tier, Ocean Clinic lists a Skin Botox entry at ₩99,000. This is micro-dose botulinum delivered intradermally across the face to tighten pores and reduce sebum output. Treatment covers the full face at that price rather than per-area, and the dose range sits around 50 to 100 units of a Korean toxin diluted into roughly 100 micro-injections. VAT at 10% brings the walk-out total to ₩108,900, about $77.80. Expect visible pore and oil improvement within two weeks and a durability window of three to four months, slightly shorter than wrinkle botox at the same clinic.

The ₩99,000 Skin Botox price is competitive but not the floor in Gangnam. Benchmark clinics in Sinnonhyeon run the same treatment at ₩79,000 to ₩120,000 depending on toxin brand and injection count. Ocean Clinic lands mid-pack. The main value lever is the walk-in volume, which keeps the clinic cycling appointments on fifteen-minute buffers and means a patient can usually get same-day scheduling even in the Gangnam-Sinnonhyeon corridor.

THREAD LIFTING AND FILLERS FROM ₩169,000

Ocean Clinic's filler and thread lifting line opens at ₩169,000, which is the thread lifting entry tier on the public menu. That price covers a small count of PDO threads for a localised lift, typically four to eight threads for a focused area like the nasolabial line or jowl. For a full lower-face thread lift most patients end up at the sixteen to twenty-four thread range, which pushes the total into the ₩800,000 to ₩1.2M band. The ₩169,000 anchor is the trial tier, not the finished-face price.

Dermal fillers at Ocean Clinic share the ₩169,000 entry price for Korean HA brands like Neuramis or Yvoire, charged per 1cc syringe. Branded premium fillers (Restylane, Juvederm Volux, Belotero) run ₩350,000 to ₩550,000 per 1cc at the same clinic. For first-time filler patients the brand choice drives both price and swelling profile. Ocean Clinic defaults to Korean brands unless the patient asks for a specific premium stock, which is worth flagging during the consultation so the quoted total matches the final charge.

SHURINK VS ULTHERAPY PRIME VS THERMAGE: THE LIFTING LADDER

The lifting menu at Ocean Clinic is the most variable price band and the one where consultation upsells land hardest. Shurink 100 shots sits at ₩79,000 and is the main entry hook for HIFU lifting, though 100 shots covers only the lower face or neck in isolation. Full-face Shurink coverage runs 300 to 600 shots, which lands between ₩237,000 and ₩474,000 depending on the exact shot count the doctor sets. Ultherapy Prime 100 shots lists at ₩390,000, roughly five times the Shurink equivalent, and reflects the hardware difference between the Shurink and Merz Ultherapy platforms. The Shurink Universe cost guide breaks down the shot-count math for both platforms.

At the top of the lifting ladder Ocean Clinic prices Thermage FLX at ₩990,000, roughly $710 at current KRW rates. That is the full-face RF tightening session using the FLX tip, typically good for 12 to 18 months of collagen remodelling. Thermage pricing in Gangnam ranges from ₩850,000 at volume-focused clinics to ₩1.6M at Apgujeong premium addresses, so Ocean Clinic's ₩990,000 is a mid-market anchor.

HOW FOREIGN PATIENT TOTALS DIFFER FROM THE MENU PRICE

Ocean Clinic's menu is listed before 10% VAT, which Korean clinics add at checkout. The clinic is not registered for the medical tourism VAT refund program, so the 10% stays on the bill. Payment is accepted in KRW cash and all major credit cards, with no foreign-card surcharge noted on the current menu. Patients paying in cash occasionally get a 5% discount applied at the front desk, though this is informal and not advertised in writing.

Consultation at Ocean Clinic is free when a treatment is booked the same day. Patients who consult and leave without booking pay ₩30,000, refunded against any treatment booked within 30 days. English support is at coordinator level (not native), which means the doctor speaks limited English and the consultation runs through a staff coordinator.

IS THE HEADLINE PRICE WORTH THE TRIP?

The ₩9,900 wrinkle botox is a legitimate trial price, not a loss-leader hook that disappears at the counter. The clinic's 615-review Google rating at 4.7 stars reflects the fact that the entry tier generally lands as advertised, with the main complaint pattern being long waits during peak afternoon slots and limited English depth beyond the coordinator layer. Patients walking in for the ₩9,900 price plus one or two area upgrades leave at under $25 all-in, which is roughly a tenth of equivalent US pricing. The Ocean Clinic honest review covers the service-side experience in detail.

For patients targeting lifting rather than injectables, the price arithmetic shifts. Ocean Clinic's Shurink and Ultherapy Prime pricing is mid-market for Gangnam, and the Thermage FLX line at ₩990,000 is competitive but not the Gangnam floor. Shoppers comparing full-face lifting sessions should price-check two or three clinics in Sinnonhyeon and Cheongdam before locking the appointment, because the Thermage differential can run ₩200,000 or more between neighbouring addresses.
