Men’s Skin Treatment in Cheongdam, Gangnam, Seoul

The reason that one category differs is physical. A man’s treated field is usually larger and the hair coarser, so it takes more pulses and more chair time, and the price list says so openly instead of averaging it away. Everything else on this page — toxin, pore work, radiofrequency tightening — is charged from the same line whoever is in the chair.

Male facial skin does differ, in ways that change a plan and not a price. The dermis is typically thicker, sebaceous glands are larger and more active, the masseter is often bulkier, and there is a terminal beard growing through the lower face that most treatments have to work around. Those four facts are what the sections below are organised by.

“I want a sharper jawline” is the most common opening line from male patients, and it describes at least three different anatomical situations. Sorting which one you have is the entire consultation.

A bulky masseter. Where the width comes from the chewing muscle itself — often reinforced by clenching or grinding — botulinum toxin placed into the masseter reduces the pull of that muscle over the following weeks, and the outline narrows as the muscle does. The listed square jaw rate starts at ₩40,000 (≈ $30) on the Korean tier, with imported tiers listed separately. Male masseters are frequently larger than female ones, which is a dosing conversation, and dose is set by the director on examination instead of from a standard table. The dedicated page is square jaw botox.

A thick, lax dermis. Where the muscle is unremarkable and the softness is in the skin itself, monopolar radiofrequency is the tool. Thermage FLX runs a 600-shot tip across the dermis at ₩1,900,000 (≈ $1,355); Density delivers high-density monopolar RF in 300-shot sessions from ₩700,000 (≈ $500) on the Classic tip. Thicker male dermis is not a disadvantage for these devices — there is more collagen-bearing tissue in the target range. Detail sits on Thermage FLX and Density.

Surface texture along the jaw and neck. Full-face skin botulinum toxin, listed at ₩150,000 (≈ $105) on the Korean tier, places very dilute toxin intradermally, well above a chewing muscle — a different depth and a different intent. It is often what a man actually wants when he says the lower face looks coarse. See skin botox.

Sebaceous glands on a male nose and forehead are larger and more productive, so the pore openings that drain them are wider and the shine returns faster after washing. That is anatomy, and no single session rewrites it. What treatment can do is reduce gland output and tighten the pore wall, which is why the work is targeted at the glands themselves.

The focused option is the nose and T-zone pore MLA session, listed at ₩165,000 (≈ $120). Insulated microneedle radiofrequency drives energy into the target gland while the insulated shaft protects the epidermis above it, which is the same principle used for active and recurrent acne on the Agnes page. Where the complaint is broader than pores — rolling acne scars, general texture — RF microneedling on Potenza covers a full face instead of a strip.

Expect pinpoint redness and small crusts for a few days after gland-directed work, more visible on a face that also shaves. Shaving over treated skin is paused until those points have settled, which is worth planning around if you have meetings. Results build across a course, and how many sessions a nose needs depends on how the glands read on examination.

This is the one category with its own men’s column on the price list. A single lower-face or beard-area session is listed at ₩160,000 (≈ $115), an underarm at ₩50,000 (≈ $35), hands or feet at ₩50,000 (≈ $35), an upper or lower arm at ₩180,000 (≈ $130) and an upper or lower abdomen at ₩210,000 (≈ $150). Every one of those fields is also published as a block of five.

Most men asking about the beard area do not want the beard gone. The usual request is to thin a dense neck growth, clean the line under the jaw, or stop ingrown hairs where a razor keeps catching. That is a mapping conversation before it is a laser one: the director marks what stays and what is treated, and treats only inside the marks. Removing a beard permanently is not what this treatment offers — the outcome across a course is long-term reduction in density and thickness within the treated field.

Two wavelengths sit in the same Candela GentleMax Pro console. The 755 nm alexandrite is absorbed strongly by melanin and suits lighter skin; the 1064 nm Nd:YAG is far less absorbed by skin pigment and reaches deeper, which is the published route for darker phototypes and for skin carrying a recent tan. Dynamic cooling fires at the surface with each pulse. The technology page is laser hair removal.

Grey and white hair in a beard carries almost no pigment for the beam to find, and where a face reads that way we say the yield will be poor and do not recommend buying a block for it.

Botulinum toxin placed into the underarm dermis interrupts the signal that tells eccrine sweat glands to fire, and the listed hyperhidrosis session of 50 units is ₩150,000 (≈ $105) on the Korean tier. Effect is temporary and wears off as nerve signalling recovers; how long that takes differs between people, and your director gives you the range to expect for your own dose at consultation instead of a number copied from a brochure. Shirts are the usual trigger for booking it, and summer in Seoul is the usual month. The dedicated page is hyperhidrosis botox.

The other request that arrives with it is shoulder line — toxin into the trapezius to soften a built-up slope. That is a body treatment with its own published line and its own examination, set out on body botox. Where the bulk is fat over muscle instead of muscle itself, the mechanism needed is a different one, and Onda body contouring is where that conversation goes.

Rates are published in KRW with a USD equivalent shown for orientation, on the Korean tier where tiers exist; imported tiers are listed separately on the price list. Residents and international visitors pay the same figure. Toxin dose, shot count and session count are set on examination, so the figure above is the published unit and the plan is quoted before anything is booked.

Every plan starts with EVE Muse 3D imaging under five light sources with AI analysis, and the reading routinely redirects the request men walk in with. Three examples are worth naming because they come up weekly.

A patient asks for jaw toxin, and the scan shows a normal masseter with lax dermis, and the answer given is that toxin would not narrow what is actually wide, and radiofrequency is discussed instead. A patient asks for pore work, and the imaging reads active inflammation instead of open pores, so acne treatment comes first and pore sessions wait. A patient asks for beard-line laser in August with a fresh tan on the neck, and the scan flags the pigment load: a test patch or a later date replaces the session that day.

The same scan is also what turns a general request into an ordered plan, because male patients often arrive with all four of the complaints on this page at once. Sequencing matters — gland work and laser hair removal on the same field in the same week is usually a poor idea, and the director will tell you which goes first.
