Jeju Island’s visa-free policy has always been a great boon for travelers from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan – they can fly directly with their passports and enter the country upon arrival, without the need to apply for a visa in advance. But do you know? Many people go to Jeju mainly to enjoy the beaches and seafood, yet they overlook the fact that Dermatology treatments there are also worth experiencing. Compared to the high-pressure tourist environment in Seoul’s Gangnam area, the pricing at clinics in Jeju is more transparent, and the pace is much less frantic – making it especially suitable for those visiting Korea for the first time and who don’t want to be rushed through a fast-paced treatment process. This article provides information on the services, prices, and booking procedures of six leading clinics in Jeju Island; read it before deciding which one to visit.
What are the differences between medical aesthetics in Jeju Island and those in Seoul? Why is it worth flying specifically to Jeju Island for this purpose?
💡
Many people’s first reaction is: “There are so many clinics in Gangnam, Seoul—why go to Jeju instead?” To be honest, I used to have the same question. But after visiting twice, my opinion changed. Dermatology clinics in Seoul, especially those near Myeongdong, often receive dozens of foreign patients in a single day. Doctors and nurses work at a fast pace, so the consultation time is short, and sometimes treatments start right after the anesthesia wears off, leaving little time for communication. Jeju is different. Here, the proportion of foreign patients in clinics is relatively lower, so doctors have more time to discuss treatment plans with you. Some clinics even offer customized treatment packages, which provides a much better experience.
Of course, the range of options available in Jeju Island is not as extensive as in Seoul, and the treatments offered mainly focus on basic anti-aging procedures, injections, and skin care – making them less suitable for those who require more complex surgeries or specialized treatments. However, if your needs include common cosmetic procedures such as hyaluronic acid injections, HIFU, or Thermage, combined with a free-stay tour of Jeju Island, the cost-effectiveness is indeed very high. Another important point to note is that travelers from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan do not need a visa to fly directly to Jeju Island, which takes approximately 2.5 hours – making it even more convenient than traveling to Seoul.
Dermatology The Lift on Jeju Island: Specializing in Titanium Lifting, with Chinese customers accounting for up to 80% of the client base
🪄
If you search for “Jeju Island medical aesthetics” on REDnote or Dcard, The Lift will almost certainly appear in the top three recommendations. The core selling point of this clinic is the combination of Titanium Thread Lifting and HIFU, focusing on anti-aging and facial tightening treatments. Its target audience is mainly people over 28 years old who start to notice signs of facial relaxation. The director of the clinic comes from a background in plastic surgery and has a deeper understanding of surgical threads and Lifting techniques than most Dermatology doctors. I visited the clinic myself; the consultation took about 25 minutes. The director used a mirror to show me the specific areas where the skin was loose, and he didn’t immediately recommend the most expensive package—which I found very reassuring.
In terms of costs, a single Titanium Lifting procedure costs approximately ¥10 million, while 300 sessions of HIFU cost around ¥800,000. Thermage FLX is priced based on the number of sessions, ranging from ¥15 million to ¥20 million. Compared to similar services in Seoul’s Gangnam district, the prices in Jeju are usually 10% to 20% lower. For Chinese-speaking services, the clinics have Chinese-speaking managers, so appointments can be scheduled directly in Chinese without the need for interpreters.
Jeju Island Nowmedi Aesthetic Medicine: Open 365 days a year, with Potenza offering excellent value for money
💎
Nowmedi is one of the few medical aesthetics clinics in Jeju Island that operates 365 days a year without any closures. This feature is particularly advantageous for travelers whose holiday schedules are uncertain or who happen to be in South Korea during national holidays and wish to undergo medical aesthetic treatments. The clinic’s main services are Potenza and Filler injections. It focuses on offering affordable options without compromising on quality. The price for Potenza treatment ranges from approximately 300,000 to 500,000 won, while Filler injections start from 940,000 won, making them significantly cheaper compared to similar clinics in Seoul.
The clinic is located near Liandong Pedestrian Street, just a 5-minute walk away. There are many restaurants and cafes in the vicinity, so you can go eat or rest immediately after the treatment – the location is truly very convenient. Last summer, my friend had a combination of Potenza and glow treatments. Her face was a bit red on the same day, but it returned to normal the next day. She said the effects lasted for quite a while; the glow effect remained for about 3 months.

Dermatology at Jeju Island NEWLINE: More than just skin care – our techniques in fine-tuning and suturing also enjoy a good reputation.
🫧
NEWLINE holds a rather unique position in Jeju – its main focus is not on major surgical treatments but rather on micro-botox injections and Filler injections, with a limited number of surgical lifting services available as well. If what you’re looking for is a natural, subtle cosmetic enhancement that makes you look like a better version of yourself without any visible signs of surgery, then this clinic is worth considering seriously. The director of the clinic comes from a background in Dermatology and has a very precise understanding of the appropriate dosage of injections and the ideal areas for filling. Many customers have commented that “after the treatment, it’s impossible to tell what was done, but the results are definitely noticeable and positive.”
In terms of costs, Filler treatments vary depending on the brand and the area being treated, starting from around ¥9.3 million; botulinum toxin injections range from approximately ¥915,000 to ¥300,000. The clinic offers services provided by Chinese-speaking managers, allowing customers who do not speak Korean to communicate online in Chinese, which is very convenient for tourists from Taiwan and Hong Kong. It is recommended to make appointments one week in advance, especially during the peak seasons (March, April, and September).

Ami Medical Aesthetics in Jeju Island: Rejuran injections are highly recommended, and the doctors’ gentle techniques put patients at ease.
💉
Ami Medical Aesthetics is one of the most highly recommended options for Rejuran injections on Jeju Island. Rejuran is a highly popular regenerative hyaluronic acid injection in South Korea in recent years. Its mechanism of action is different from that of regular Filler injections; it stimulates the regeneration of Collagen, resulting in relatively long-lasting effects. Typically, injections are required every 3 to 4 weeks, and 2 to 3 sessions are needed to see the most noticeable results. The director of Ami Medical Aesthetics is very gentle in his technique, and many customers who try Rejuran injections for the first time report that the pain is much less severe than they expected. I agree with this evaluation—although there may still be some stinging sensations in the Forehead and temples areas, the overall experience is within an acceptable range.
The cost of a single Rejuran treatment ranges from approximately 945,000 to 600,000 yuan. The clinic is located in the heart of Liandong’s commercial district, surrounded by numerous restaurants and cafes, so you can go shopping and dining right after the treatment. There is no issue communicating in Chinese, and the clinic manager will confirm the treatment plan with you in advance to ensure that you have a smooth experience during your visit.

Jeju Island 4ever Medical Aesthetics: With 31 chain clinics, there is no assembly-line operation; the director personally conducts consultations for 30 minutes, treating each patient with utmost care.
🏥
4ever is a South Korean chain Dermatology brand with branches in Seoul and Busan. However, its Jeju branch has one unique feature: despite being part of a chain system, the director personally attends to each patient’s consultation. The consultation time for each client is approximately 30 minutes, and patients are never rushed away after a brief discussion. The brand’s main treatments are HIFU and Thermage, and both devices are relatively new; in particular, the HIFU equipment used is the highly effective Ultraformer III system.
The full-face treatment using HIFU costs approximately ¥800,000 to ¥1.2 million, depending on the number of sessions. The full-face treatment with Thermage FLX ranges from ¥9.15 million to ¥2 million. Here’s an important piece of information: 4ever promises to charge the same prices as in South Korea, without adding any extra fees for foreigners. This is a relatively rare and clear commitment among clinics in Jeju. If you are interested in HIFU or Thermage but have a limited budget, 4ever’s cost-performance ratio makes it a worthwhile option to consider.

Jeju Island WITH Dermatology: 15 years of personal consultations by the director; HIFU treatments starting from 400,000 won – highly praised for its meticulous quality.
👑
With a presence in the Dermatology field on Jeju Island for over 15 years, this clinic has earned a solid reputation among both locals and long-term visitors to the island. Their flagship treatment is the American-style HIFU, offered by a director with extensive experience. This professional ensures precise control over the depth and dosage of injections, avoiding the focus on excessive numbers of treatments in favor of personalized plans tailored to each client’s facial structure and degree of skin laxity. The cost of 100 HIFU sessions amounts to approximately ₩400,000—a very affordable price on Jeju Island. Moreover, these treatments are performed personally by the director himself, rather than by assistants.
The clinic is relatively small and operates on a reservation system. You need to make a reservation at least 3 days in advance; during peak seasons, it may take more than a week to get a spot. There isn’t much promotion by internet celebrities; the clinic relies mainly on word-of-mouth, which is also one of its strengths. Most of the customers who come here are repeat visitors or those referred by friends, so you rarely encounter crowded situations.

In 2026, holders of Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan passports will be able to enter Jeju Island without a visa. Important information: please read this carefully once and for all.
🧳
Jeju Island implements a visa-free entry policy for most countries. Holders of Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan passports do not need to apply for any visa; they can enter directly with their valid passports for a stay of up to 30 days. Here are several things you should confirm before traveling:
- Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months; some airlines will check this during the check-in process.
- It is required to have a round-trip or third-country flight ticket; it may be necessary to present this during the immigration check.
- One of the reasons for the ban on entry is a previous violation of regulations in South Korea (including other cities). Please confirm that you have no such records.
- Jeju Airport has duty-free shops where you can purchase skincare products to take home after your treatment – it’s a great opportunity to stock up on all the necessary post-treatment care items at once.
- From Taiwan, you can choose direct flights to Jeju (about 2.5 hours), and there are also direct flights from Hong Kong, with a sufficient number of flights available.
Regarding the time arrangement for medical beauty treatments in Jeju, it is recommended to schedule them on the 2nd to 3rd day of your trip. On the first day, you should rest and adjust to the time difference as well as your physical condition. Some treatments (such as HIFU and Thermage) may cause mild swelling after the procedure, so it is more advisable to allow 1 to 2 days for recovery before returning home by plane.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the costs of medical beauty treatments at clinics on Jeju Island cheaper than those in Seoul?
A: Generally speaking, the costs of treatments at clinics on Jeju Island are approximately 10% to 20% lower than those in the Gangnam area of Seoul, although this difference varies depending on the specific treatment. For injectable procedures such as Filler injections and Botox treatments, the price advantage on Jeju is more significant; for equipment-based treatments like Thermage and HIFU, the difference between the two regions is relatively smaller.
Q: How much in advance should I make a reservation?
A: It is generally recommended to make a reservation 5 to 7 days in advance. During the peak seasons (April, September, and around the Lunar New Year), it is advisable to book 2 to 3 weeks in advance, as some popular times may be even more difficult to secure. You can make an online reservation through BeautsGO, and Chinese-speaking customer service is available to assist you with confirming the time.
Q: Can I take a flight on the same day after undergoing cosmetic surgery?
A: For procedures such as hyaluronic acid injections and Potenza treatments, it is generally safe to fly on the same day after the treatment. However, it is recommended to wait for 3 to 4 hours to allow your face to recover slightly. If there is significant swelling after HIFU or Thermage treatments, it is advisable to wait until the next day before flying, in order to avoid the effects of cabin pressure and dry air on the recovery process.
Q: What should I do if there are any communication issues?
A: All 6 clinics recommended in this article offer Chinese-language services (either provided by the clinic directors or through interpreters). When making an appointment, you can confirm the treatment options and prices in advance through BeautsGO’s Chinese-speaking customer service. If necessary, you can also use translation apps at the clinic itself. It’s advisable to write down in advance the specific treatments you want to undergo and any special requirements you have, as this will facilitate clearer communication on-site.
Q: Can I use my credit card to pay? Or should I bring cash?
A: Most clinics on Jeju Island accept credit cards (Visa/Master), and it is also possible to pay in cash in South Korean won. However, tax refunds may not be available when using a credit card at some clinics. It is recommended to confirm the payment method and tax-refund policies during the reservation process. In 2024, South Korea abolished the tax-refund policy for tourists, and currently, medical services are not covered by this policy. The fees shall be subject to the rates stated by the clinics.
