International patients near ICN usually pay by 1 of 3 methods: global credit card, cash in Korean won, or bank transfer, with card the most common in Seoul-area clinics.
Most skin clinics near Incheon Airport accept international credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), cash in Korean won, and bank transfer, with card being the most common for foreign patients. At our Incheon Airport (Yeongjongdo) location, our English-speaking team confirms accepted methods at consultation, and note that Korea ended the cosmetic-procedure VAT refund for foreigners on January 1, 2026.
One-on-One guidance from a dedicated doctor, ensuring your skin is professionally monitored and treated from start to finish.
Fluent assistance in English, Japanese, and Chinese, making communication clear, respectful and comfortable for international patients.
Over 100,000 patients worldwide have received our personalized dermatological care, highlighting our expertise and reliable results.
Paying for a skin treatment in Korea is straightforward once you know the 3 common options. Most Seoul-area and Incheon Airport clinics accept international credit cards, which is the method most foreign patients use because it is fast, gives you a card statement as a record, and lets your bank handle currency conversion. Visa and Mastercard are the most widely accepted, and many clinics also take American Express and, increasingly, mobile card wallets.
Cash in Korean won (KRW) is the second option, and some patients bring a small amount for convenience or to settle any balance not on card. Bank transfer is the third route, used more often for larger or pre-arranged plans. Foreign-issued debit cards work at many clinics too, though acceptance can vary by card network, so it helps to confirm ahead of time.
At Reberry Clinic, care for international patients is consultation-led. At our Incheon Airport (Yeongjongdo) location, Dr. Sunbeen Kim and the team explain accepted payment methods, your treatment plan, and cost transparently in English before anything begins, so there are no surprises whether you are on a stopover or staying in Seoul.
Understanding a few specifics saves time on the day. International credit cards are processed through the same global networks you use at home, so payment usually clears in seconds and your issuing bank applies the exchange rate; choosing to be charged in Korean won rather than your home currency (declining dynamic currency conversion) often gives a better rate. Cash must be in Korean won, which you can get from ATMs at Incheon Airport or exchange booths, since foreign notes are generally not accepted at the counter. One important honesty point for 2026: Korea ended the value-added tax (VAT) refund for foreigners on cosmetic and aesthetic procedures on January 1, 2026, so you should no longer expect a tax-refund discount at the airport on these treatments, and any clinic promising one is out of date. Because prices are quoted after a consultation rather than from a fixed public menu, our team gives you a clear, itemised cost in English and confirms which payment methods apply before you commit.

Most accept 3 methods: international credit cards, cash in Korean won, and bank transfer, with card the most common for foreign patients. At our Incheon Airport (Yeongjongdo) location, the team confirms which apply at consultation. You can start planning on our skin care page before you arrive.
Yes, international Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted at Seoul-area and Incheon Airport clinics, and many also take American Express. Payment usually clears in seconds and your bank applies the exchange rate. It is worth confirming Amex or foreign debit acceptance in advance, since networks can vary between clinics.
You do not always need cash, but if you pay that way it must be in Korean won, since foreign banknotes are generally not accepted at the counter. ATMs and exchange booths at Incheon Airport let you withdraw KRW within minutes of landing, which is convenient for a small balance or backup.
No. Korea ended the value-added tax refund for foreigners on cosmetic and aesthetic procedures on January 1, 2026, so you should not expect a tax-refund discount at the airport on these treatments. Any clinic still advertising one is using outdated information, so plan your budget without it.
Skin plans are individualised, so cost depends on your skin, the modalities combined, and the number of sessions. That is why pricing is consultation-led rather than a fixed public menu. The clinic’s doctors give you a clear, itemised cost in English after assessing your skin care needs.
Card payment usually takes about 1 to 2 minutes and clears in seconds, while cash is immediate if you have Korean won ready. Bank transfers depend on your bank’s timing, so arrange those before your appointment. The team handles it efficiently so it does not eat into a tight travel schedule.
Choosing to be charged in Korean won, by declining dynamic currency conversion, often gives a better exchange rate than letting the terminal convert to your home currency. Your own bank then applies its rate. This small choice can save money, especially on a larger plan, so it is worth asking at the counter.
Some pre-arranged plans can be settled by bank transfer ahead of your trip, which suits larger courses booked in advance. For most short visits, patients simply pay by card on the day. Our English-speaking team can explain the options for your skin care plan when you enquire.
Yes, licensed Korean clinics process international cards through the same global networks used worldwide, and you receive a statement and receipt as a record. As anywhere, check the amount before approving and keep your receipt. Our team explains every charge in English so the total is clear before you pay.
Many Korean clinics increasingly accept mobile card wallets and contactless payment, though acceptance varies by clinic and card network. International credit cards remain the most reliable method for foreign patients. Confirm mobile-wallet acceptance when you book your glass facial skin or other treatment so you know your options beforehand.
You receive a receipt for every payment, plus a card statement if you pay by card or a bank confirmation for transfers. These serve as your record for personal budgeting or insurance queries. Keep them, since there is no separate VAT-refund document for cosmetic procedures after January 1, 2026.
Many clinics can accept a split, for example most of the cost on card and a small balance in Korean won, though this is confirmed at the counter. It helps to mention it during consultation so the team prepares. Cash portions must always be in KRW, not foreign notes.
Your quoted cost is itemised after consultation, so you can see what is included, such as the procedure, any numbing, and aftercare guidance. Optional add-ons like supportive products are explained separately. Reviewing your skin care plan in advance helps you understand exactly what each line covers.
Any international patient benefits, because it means your cost matches your actual skin needs rather than a one-size figure. The clinic’s doctors grade your skin, recommend suitable modalities, and price the plan transparently. This is especially useful for combined plans, where the number of modalities and sessions drives the total.
For a single session, 2 to 3 days is comfortable, covering consultation, the procedure, and payment on the same visit. Being near Incheon Airport means transit and stopover patients can even complete a quick session between flights. Our team helps coordinate timing so payment and travel fit together smoothly.
Yes, our Incheon Airport (Yeongjongdo) location is convenient for transit and stopover patients, and payment by card or KRW is quick. If your layover is short, tell us in advance so we plan a suitable treatment and settle payment efficiently. Longer plans may be continued at our Seoul locations.
For a course continued across visits, each session is paid at the time, usually by card, and remote check-ins in English keep your plan on track between trips. Your treatment and payment records are kept on file for continuity. You can maintain results with home skin care between appointments.
