Skin boosters are one of Korea’s best add-on treatments for medical tourists. Rejuran is a Korean product, so it is most competitively priced at source. Profhilo, Juvederm Hydrate, and Restylane Skinboosters are internationally imported but still 50–65% cheaper than UK or Australian pricing due to lower clinic operating costs and a highly competitive dermatology market.

Is Rejuran worth getting in Korea specifically?
Rejuran (salmon DNA PDRN) is a Korean-origin product — it is cheaper in Korea than anywhere else and has been used in Korean dermatology for over a decade. At ₩200,000–₩400,000 per session versus £300–£600 in the UK, the saving is approximately 60%. If you are visiting Korea for surgery, Rejuran is one of the easiest treatments to add: minimal downtime, no bruising risk if injected with a cannula, and results within 4 weeks.
How many sessions do skin boosters require?
Protocols vary by product. Rejuran: typically 3 sessions at 3–4 week intervals for an induction course, then maintenance every 3–6 months. Profhilo: 2 sessions 4 weeks apart, retreated every 6 months. Juvederm Hydrate: 1–3 sessions depending on baseline hydration. Korean clinics often compress timing for medical tourists — discuss your schedule at consultation.
Can I get skin boosters on the same trip as facial surgery?
Skin boosters should not be injected into areas actively healing from surgery. For patients combining with rhinoplasty, for example, Rejuran on the cheeks or neck is possible at the start of the trip before surgery. Injecting anywhere near an active surgical site should wait 4–6 weeks post-op at minimum. Korean coordinators and surgeons are experienced with sequencing these decisions.
