Why the cheapest option isn’t always the best for a dry, confident summer.
Hello! We are Relieve Clinic, a premium aesthetic dermatology center located in Apgujeong, Seoul.
We specialize in providing comfortable, high-end treatments for international patients who value quality and safety.
Korea is famous for its humid summers.
For many of our visitors, exploring Seoul’s cafes and palaces can turn into a stressful experience due to excessive sweating.
This is why Underarm Botox (Hyperhidrosis treatment) is one of the most requested procedures at our clinic.
Naturally, you might be searching for the underarm botox cost in Korea.
It is true that Korea offers competitive pricing compared to the US or Europe.
However, if you simply choose the clinic with the lowest price tag, you might end up disappointed with the results—or worse, in pain.
At Relieve Clinic, we prioritize transparency.
Today, we will explain exactly what goes into the cost of this treatment and how to ensure you are paying for long-lasting dryness, not just a quick fix.
Breakdown: What Determines Underarm Botox Cost?
The price of the procedure isn’t random. It is determined by three main factors.
1. Dosage (Units)
- Standard: For effective dryness, 100 units is the standard protocol for both underarms.
- The Issue: Some low-cost clinics only inject 50 units (25 per side) to advertise a cheaper price. This is often insufficient for hyperhidrosis and wears off quickly.
- Relieve’s Promise: We adhere to the 100-unit standard for maximum efficacy.
2. Brand of Toxin
- Korean Brands (e.g., Coretox, Nabota): These are high-quality, KFDA-approved, and very affordable. They offer the best value for money.
- Imported Brands (e.g., Xeomin, Allergan): These are priced higher. We recommend Xeomin for patients who receive frequent treatments, as it has a lower risk of developing drug resistance.
3. Injection Technique & Pain Management
- Factory Clinic: Simple ice pack, rapid injection (can be very painful), no design.
- Relieve Clinic: Nano-needles, topical anesthesia, and a precise “intradermal” technique to target sweat glands directly without deep muscle pain.
Price vs. Value: A Comparison
To help you make an informed decision, here is how the experience differs based on the underarm botox cost tier.
| Feature | Low-Cost “Factory” Clinic | Relieve Clinic (Premium) |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation | Brief discussion with staff | 1:1 with Representative Director |
| Dosage Check | Often skipped | Vial opening confirmed before your eyes |
| Targeting | General area injection | Minor’s Test (Starch-Iodine) Mapping |
| Pain Level | High (Ice pack only) | Minimal (Cream + Ice + Nano-needle) |
| Hygiene | Crowded, shared rooms | Private, sterilized individual room |
| Result Longevity | 2~3 months (often diluted) | 4~6 months (Full concentration) |
Why “Cheap” Can Be Expensive
If the underarm botox cost seems too good to be true, it likely involves over-dilution.
Botox comes as a powder and must be mixed with saline.
- Proper Mix: Creates a potent solution that stops sweat for up to 6 months.
- Watered Down: Creates a weak solution. You might save money today, but you will be sweating again in 8 weeks and need a retreatment.
At Relieve Clinic, we never compromise on concentration.
We want your single visit to last you through the entire summer and beyond.

FAQ: Underarm Botox
u003cstrongu003eQ: Can I put on deodorant after the treatment?u003c/strongu003e
A: We recommend waiting at least 24 hours to prevent irritation or infection at the injection sites.
u003cstrongu003eQ: Will it make my hands sweat more?u003c/strongu003e
A: This is a common myth. Botox locally blocks the nerve signals in the underarms. Compensatory sweating in other areas is extremely rare with Botox (unlike surgery).
u003cstrongu003eQ: How long does the procedure take?u003c/strongu003e
A: The injection itself takes about 5-10 minutes. Including numbing cream and the Minor’s Test, plan for about 40 minutes at Relieve Clinic.
