Starting in 2026, South Korean medical aesthetics officially enters a new phase—the end of the tax refund system.
For many people planning to go to Korea for skin management and anti-aging projects in 2026, the reaction is almost unanimous: "No more tax refunds, will medical aesthetics in Korea definitely be more expensive in the future?
But this is not the case. Against this backdrop, BeautsGO has teamed up with several Korean dermatology and plastic surgery hospitals to launch a batch of "tax refund equivalent programs" at the beginning of 2026. For some projects and time nodes, the comprehensive discount力度 is even not lower than the previous 7%–8% tax refund level. A large number of dermatology and plastic surgery hospitals have chosen to directly undertake the original tax refund space by means of "direct price reductions, rebates, and project giveaways".
I. Current Distribution of Korean Medical Aesthetic Institutions: Dermatology Clinics Remain the Mainstay
Before discussing specific offers, let's look at a simple set of data. According to public statistics, as of now, the total number of medical aesthetic related clinics in South Korea is approximately 22,000, of which: dermatology clinics account for approximately 17,700, and plastic surgery clinics account for approximately 5,200, with Seoul and the capital area accounting for more than one-third.
This also explains a real problem: why are more and more people choosing to go to Korea for skin management? There are many dermatology clinics, mature projects, and low decision-making costs. So, sisters planning to go to Korea before the Spring Festival in 2026 can seize this wave. We can use the BeautsGO APP to book dermatology clinics and still enjoy tax refund benefits.
