Afraid of pain? Anesthesia is charged separately
At BIOFACE clinic, anesthesia is not included in the treatment price: nitrous oxide is ₩10,000 and sleep sedation is ₩200,000, charged separately.
Whether lifting hurts and whether to add anesthesia are among the most common questions visitors ask before booking. The first step is to include the anesthesia fee in your budget so there is no surprise at the front desk.
The second step is to know that whether you need anesthesia, and which type, depends on the treatment and the doctor's recommendation. It is not something you simply add on request, and it is not required for everyone.
BIOFACE anesthesia and surcharges at a glance
BIOFACE has three add-ons: nitrous oxide, sleep sedation, and a 10–20% surcharge for requesting the director. Treatment prices on the price list are before VAT.
Nitrous oxide is ₩10,000 and sleep sedation is ₩200,000, a 20-fold difference. Generally, nitrous oxide is inhaled to help you relax, while sleep sedation puts you in a sleep-like state during the procedure. Which one suits you, and whether your treatment needs it, is decided by the doctor.
Requesting the director (Park Ju-young) costs an extra 10–20%. Details are explained when you book.
Pay attention to VAT: the price list states that treatments are priced before VAT, with 10% added, but it does not say whether VAT is also added to the anesthesia fee. If 10% is added, nitrous oxide is ₩11,000 and sleep sedation is ₩220,000. Please confirm before you pay.
How much does lifting plus anesthesia cost in total?
Using the BIOFACE price list, Shurink 300 shots with nitrous oxide is about ₩201,400, and Ulthera Prime 300 shots with sleep sedation is about ₩1,779,050.
Shurink Universe 300 shots + nitrous oxide: 174,000 × 1.1 = 191,400, plus ₩10,000 nitrous oxide = ₩201,400.
Thermage FLX 300 shots + nitrous oxide: 1,515,250 × 1.1 = 1,666,775, plus ₩10,000 nitrous oxide = ₩1,676,775.
Ulthera Prime 300 shots + sleep sedation: 1,435,500 × 1.1 = 1,579,050, plus ₩200,000 sleep sedation = ₩1,779,050.
These calculations do not add VAT to the anesthesia fee. If 10% is also added to anesthesia, the three combinations come to ₩202,400, ₩1,677,775 and ₩1,799,050.
These combinations are only examples and do not mean a treatment is always paired with that type of anesthesia. The price list is valid until 12/31/2026, and promotions cannot be combined.
How to budget for requesting the director
Requesting director Park Ju-young costs an extra 10–20%. The surcharge rate and how it is calculated are explained when you book.
For example, on Ulthera Prime 300 shots at ₩1,435,500 before VAT, 10–20% is about ₩143,550–₩287,100. Please confirm at booking which amount the surcharge is based on and whether VAT is added.
K-Clinic's advice: if your budget has a limit, decide the treatment and anesthesia first, then consider whether to request the director. Asking about these three costs separately makes it less likely you will miscalculate.
Should I add anesthesia? Questions to ask first
Ask the doctor directly at your consultation whether you need anesthesia and which type, and confirm the fee and VAT at the same time.
If you choose sleep sedation, confirm at booking what to do before and after the treatment, whether you need to fast, and how long before you can leave the clinic. BIOFACE is open until 20:00 on weekdays, so if you have treatment in the evening, plan your transport after leaving the clinic.
If you take anticoagulants or similar medication, tell the clinic beforehand. You can arrive bare-faced on the day or remove your makeup at the clinic; for a few days after treatment, avoid saunas, alcohol and strenuous exercise.
