To start with the conclusion: ToxnFill is one of the plastic surgery clinics in Seoul where I have experienced the least amount of aggressive sales tactics. The Gangnam headquarters is located in an excellent location, while the branch on Jeju Island is perfect for medical beauty treatments during vacations. I have personally tested both locations, and the overall experience is definitely worth recommending.
I. Why Choose ToxnFill?
When searching for “Korean plastic surgery recommendations” on Dcard and PTT, ToxnFill (톡스앤필) comes up quite frequently. I first noticed it because several Korean beauty bloggers mentioned it in their review videos – not in those exaggerated ways that claim the results are like a complete face transplant, but in a more natural way, where my colleagues even asked if I had been getting enough sleep lately after the treatment.
There are three main reasons why I chose it:
- Guaranteed chain scale: With multiple branches in South Korea, including the Gangnam head office, the Jeju Island branch, and the Sinsa branch, all offering Chinese-speaking services, it is particularly convenient for those visiting South Korea for medical beauty treatments for the first time.
- Transparent pricing: I have also mentioned this in the price list of Cheongdam Minit Dermatology. The issue of transparent pricing in the medical beauty industry in South Korea has always been a concern. However, ToxnFill clearly displays all its prices on its official website and on BeautsGO, so there is no need to worry about being overcharged when you visit the store.
- The range of services is comprehensive: from basic injections such as botulinum toxin and Filler to more advanced treatments like contour needles, thread Lifting, and gold microneedling, one clinic can meet a variety of needs.
II. Basic Information on Each ToxnFill Branch
Gangnam Head Office
- Address: 10-11 Floor, Datong Building, 415 Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul (about 5 minutes walk from Exit 11 of Gangnam Station)
- Opening Hours: Monday to Friday, 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM / Saturday, 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM / Closed on Sundays and public holidays.
- Representative number: 02-537-4842
- My review: The location is really convenient – it takes less than 5 minutes to walk from the exit of Gangnam Station. I had an appointment at 2 pm, so I arrived 15 minutes early and went straight to the first floor to register before taking the elevator to the 10th floor. The whole process was very smooth.
2. Jeju Branch
- Address: In the core business district of Jeju City (for the exact address, please refer to BeautsGO or the official website).
- Opening Hours: Weekdays 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM (Lunch break from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM is recommended to be avoided).
- My opinion: If you are traveling to Jeju Island, it’s perfectly suitable to take the opportunity to get some skin care treatments or basic injections. I went during my independent trip to Jeju and made an appointment via WeChat in advance. Upon arrival at the clinic, the Chinese-speaking staff at the front desk helped me immediately, so there were no communication issues at all.
3. Sinsa Branch
- Location: Sinsa-dong, Gangnam District, Seoul, near Isansan Park Station
- My opinion: Sinsa-dong is relatively quiet, not as noisy as Gangnam Station, so it’s perfect for those who prefer a more low-key environment. A friend of mine had contour needle treatment here, and she said the doctor was very patient, even using a mirror to help her confirm the results from different angles.
III. The entire process of my appointment (taking the Gangnam headquarters as an example)
2. How to make an appointment
ToxnFill offers five different ways to make appointments. I used WeChat to schedule an appointment when I was on Jeju Island, and I used the official website to make an appointment at the Gangnam headquarters – both methods were very convenient.
- Online reservation: Visit cn.toxnfill1.com and click “Online Reservation”. The service is available in Chinese, English, and Korean. Please provide your name (matching the one on your passport), contact information, the treatment you wish to undergo, and the desired date. You will receive an email/SMS confirmation within approximately 1 hour after submitting your request.
- WeChat reservation: Search for “Toxnfill Sinsa Dermatology” on WeChat (make sure to check the authentication number). Chinese customer service is available 24 hours a day, so you can inquire about prices, doctors’ qualifications, and post-operative care in real time.
- Book at BeautsGO: Search for “ToxnFill” on the BeautsGO app or website, select your preferred branch and treatment option, and submit your request. A Chinese-speaking specialist will then contact you to assist you further.
- Telephone reservation: Call +82-2-537-4842 (Gangnam Head Office); Chinese-speaking services are available.
- Make an appointment in-store: Bring your original passport along, and you can undergo a free skin analysis on-site to secure your appointment slot.

| Popular injections (hyaluronic acid therapy/botox) | 7 to 10 days | 10 to 14 days |
| High-end treatments (gold microneedling/Thermage) | 14 to 21 days | 14 to 21 days |

IV. The Projects I Have Undertaken and My Personal Experiences
1. Botox – Reduction of Masseter size + Face slimming
I had the procedure at the Gangnam headquarters. The doctor first asked me to clench my teeth to determine the location of my Masseter muscle, and then marked the area on my face with lines. The whole process took about 10 minutes. During the injection, I only felt a slight stinging sensation, which was much milder than the pain from getting an anesthetic. After the procedure, the doctor advised me to apply ice compresses for 10 minutes and reminded me not to massage my face for the next three days.
Effect: Approximately 1 week after the treatment, I began to notice that my Masseter had become softer. After 2 weeks, there were obvious changes in the shape of my face. Three months have passed now, and the effects are still visible. I opted for a dose of 100 units, which cost around 280,000 Korean won (equivalent to approximately 1,500 yuan), which is relatively cheaper compared to what I saw in reviews of other hospitals at Cheongdam OneCell Dermatology Clinic.
2. Filler injection (Joyvital) – Wrinkles reduction + apple cheeks
I had this procedure at the branch on Jeju Island; I happened to be there during my trip, so I took the opportunity to schedule the treatment. The doctor first asked me to lie down and used a marking pen to draw lines along the nasolabial folds and the areas around the cheeks. Then, while injecting the filler, he asked me to sit up and look in the mirror to confirm the placement — I really liked this approach. Instead of the doctor deciding on the amount of filler to use on their own, they would repeatedly check with me to ensure everything was done correctly.
Effect: Changes can be seen immediately after the treatment. The nasolabial folds become significantly less noticeable, and the apple cheeks gain a natural, plump appearance. The cost ranges from approximately 400,000 to 600,000 Korean won (depending on the amount used). In Joaquin’s words, this price is considered reasonable in South Korea.
3. Golden Micro-Needling (Jeju Branch)
This is my third treatment at the branch in Jeju Island; my main goal was to improve my Pores and reduce the appearance of acne scars. The principle behind gold microneedling is to evenly insert gold-plated microneedles into the skin while simultaneously introducing healing essences that stimulate the regeneration of collagen. Before the treatment, I apply a numbing cream for about 30 minutes, so during the procedure, I only feel a slight sense of pressure.
Recovery period: On the day of the procedure, the face will turn red as if it has been sunburned. Peeling will begin on the 2nd to 3rd day, and by the 5th day, the skin will have mostly returned to normal. I had the procedure while on vacation in Jeju, and it was completely fine for me to wear a mask and a hat during the first three days.

VI. Overall Evaluation: Advantages, Disadvantages, and Suitable Candidates
1. Advantages
- Comprehensive Chinese services: Both the Gangnam headquarters and the Jeju branch have Chinese-speaking receptionists. WeChat reservations are available 24 hours a day, making it extremely convenient for those who do not speak Korean.
- No sales pressure: This is something I must emphasize. I have been to some Korean cosmetic clinics where I was pressured to purchase treatment packages after my procedures, but at ToxnFill, there was absolutely no such pressure. The doctor simply provided me with reasonable post-treatment care advice.
- Convenient location: The Gangnam headquarters is located next to Gangnam Station, while the Jeju Island branch is situated in the downtown area of Jeju City. No matter where you live, you can easily find the nearest branch.
- Transparent pricing: I have also made comparisons on {link3}, and I found that ToxnFill’s prices are on the higher end among similar hospitals. What sets it apart is its transparency – there are no hidden fees or unexpected costs.
2. Disadvantages
- Reservations must be made in advance: For popular services, especially during weekends, it is necessary to reserve at least 2 weeks in advance, as it is highly unlikely that there will be available slots if you book at the last minute.
- Some branches have lunch breaks: The Jeju Island branch has a break from 12:00 to 13:30. If you try to call during this time and no one answers, please be aware of this.
- There are quite a lot of people at the Gangnam headquarters. Since it is the headquarters, the waiting time sometimes exceeds the scheduled appointment time by 15 to 20 minutes. It is recommended to allow for some extra time.
3. Who is it suitable for?
- For those who are worried about language barriers when going to South Korea for medical beauty treatments for the first time → Comprehensive Chinese-language services available.
- For those who prefer natural results and avoid overly dramatic styles → Doctors tend to have a more conservative and natural aesthetic approach.
- For those planning a self-guided trip to Jeju Island and wanting to take care of their skin along the way, the Jeju branch is the perfect choice.
- Those with a moderate budget who prefer transparent pricing → Both the official website and BeautsGO provide clear price labels.
If you have reviewed the recommendations for dermatology clinics in Myeongdong, you might notice that ToxnFill is located in a slightly more remote area. However, precisely because it isn’t situated in the crowded tourist zones of Myeongdong, its prices are actually more reasonable.
VII. Practical Tips: Things You Must Know Before Going
- Please confirm the doctor’s schedule in advance: The medical team at ToxnFill operates on a rotating shift system. If you would like to request a specific doctor, please indicate this during the reservation process. It is recommended to choose a doctor with at least 5 years of experience in injections. You can check out each doctor’s expertise on the official website’s doctor profile page.
- Avoid calling during lunch hours: If you try to call the Jeju branch between 12:00 and 13:30, when no one is available, it is recommended to call after 10:00 in the morning or 2:00 in the afternoon.
- Bring the original passport: All Korean medical beauty clinics require verification of the passport (the name on the passport must match the name provided during the reservation). If you forget to bring it, you will not be able to receive treatment.
- Do not wear makeup within 24 hours after the procedure: This point is often overlooked. The first time I got Botox, I applied makeup on the same evening, and as a result, there was mild redness and swelling that lasted for two days. Later, my doctor informed me that it is essential to avoid using cosmetic products that could irritate the skin within 24 hours after the procedure.
- Making a reservation through BeautsGO comes with additional follow-up services: By using the reservation form below, a dedicated staff member will send you a text message one day before your appointment to remind you. In case of any last-minute changes, you can also easily reschedule directly on the app – which is much more convenient than relying on your own memory.

VIII. FAQ: The most frequently asked questions on Dcard/PTT
Q1: What are the differences between ToxnFill and Minit Dermatology? Which one should I choose?
A: Minit specializes in skin management
treatments such as laser therapies and hyaluronic acid injections, while ToxnFill focuses on cosmetic procedures that use injections to enhance facial contours. If you are considering injectable treatments like botulinum toxin, Filler, or contour injections, ToxnFill would be a better option; if you need treatments for freckles, skin rejuvenation, or sensitive skin repair, Minit is more suitable. I have visited both clinics, and you can find my detailed review of Minit at the Cheongdam Minit Hospital evaluation section.
Q2: What should I do if I don’t understand the language when going to South Korea for medical beauty treatm
ents for the first time? A: At both the Gangnam headquarters and the Jeju branch of ToxnFill, there are Chinese-speaking front desk staff. You can also use the WeChat reservation service, and 24-hour Chinese customer service is available. If the doctor doesn’t understand Chinese during the consultation, the hospital will arrange an interpreter to assist you, so there’s no need to worry.
Q3: Will the price increase further after tax? A: The prices
I saw on the official website and on BeautsGO already include VAT. Once you arrive at the store, no additional charges will be applied unless you request additional services at the last minute. However, during the peak seasons from June to August and from November to December, some services may incur a 5% service fee. It’s advisable to inquire in advance when making a reservation.
Q4: Can I go shopping right after the treatment? A: After botulinum toxin a
nd Filler injections, you can generally engage in normal activities as long as you avoid strenuous exercise and hot saunas. After gold microneedling and hyaluronic acid injections, there may be redness and swelling on the same day; it is recommended to take a half-day rest. I usually have the treatment in the morning and then rest in a café in the afternoon, and I can go shopping normally the next day.
Q5: Is it possible to request a female doctor? A: Yes. J
ust indicate your preference for a female doctor in the remarks section during the reservation process. At ToxnFill, we have several female specialists in Female genital surgery, so the communication will be more delicate and considerate.
Q6: Are the prices of the projects at the Jeju branch the same as those at the Gangnam head office? A: Bas
ically the same, but the Jeju branch occasionally offers local discounts. It is recommended to check with the customer service on WeChat to see if there are any promotions available for that month.
Q7: If I am not satisfied with the results after the treatment, can I get a refund or have the treatme
nt adjusted?
A: For injectable treatments such as botulinum toxin and Filler, refunds are generally not available unless it is considered a medical error rather than simply dissatisfaction with the results. However, the doctors at ToxnFill will ask you to look in the mirror repeatedly during the injection process, so the possibility of the results not meeting your expectations is very low. If there are indeed any issues, it is recommended that you contact the hospital within 1 week after the treatment, and they will arrange a follow-up consultation for an evaluation.
