Hyaluronidase, priced

How much does hyaluronidase filler dissolving cost in Gangnam, Seoul?

The short answer

Rewind charges filler dissolving by the treated area. The clinic's rate list gives the enzyme a single line with the area as its unit, and that list has no per-vial charge. Your bill is the per-area rate multiplied by the number of areas agreed at the examination, with VAT added at the end. The numbing used during the injection is already inside the rate, and the line stays the same whoever placed the filler, in Korea or abroad.

Source: Rewind's published rate list, which prices dissolving per area with VAT excluded. The figure itself is shown in the pricing section further down this page.

So the useful question is less about the rate and more about the count: how many areas, and how many visits. Two people holding identical quotations for one lip can end up with different totals if one of them needs that lip treated a second time. A third may be told at the examination that the firm spot they wanted removed is not hyaluronic acid, and leave with no enzyme line on the bill at all.

A second cost sits outside the dissolving line entirely, which is whatever goes back into the area later, if anything does. A refill is priced by the cc from the clinic's filler list and booked for a separate appointment. Keeping the two budgets apart makes the arithmetic easier to follow and keeps the decision to remove gel from being tangled up with the decision to replace it.

Reading the quotation

Four questions that set the size of a filler dissolving bill

A dissolving quotation at Rewind is short, and every line on it answers a question you are entitled to ask before anything is injected. Having those answers in writing is what keeps the figure at the desk the same as the figure you agreed to.

question 01
How many areas?
Lips, under-eyes, cheeks, chin, jaw line and nose are the regions raised most often. Each region the doctor agrees to treat becomes one line.
question 02
How are paired sites counted?
Whether left and right under-eyes, or upper and lower lip, count once or twice is written on the quotation before the first injection.
question 03
What would a further pass cost?
Firm or long-standing gel can need a second session. How that visit would be charged is set out on the same sheet, in advance.
question 04
Is a refill part of it?
It never is. New filler is priced by the cc, after a settling interval, and it never shares a line with the enzyme.

One line you will not see is an enzyme charge for material the examination cannot establish as hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronidase does nothing to other filler materials, so injecting it into them would mean paying for an appointment that changes nothing.

Tally

From examination to figure

How a filler dissolving quotation is worked out at Rewind

The rate itself is fixed. What moves your total is decided in the examination room, in four steps taken in the same order every time.

01Identify

The material is confirmed before any line is priced

Your history, the dates of the original injections, any product card you kept and the feel of the area under the fingers are weighed together. Hyaluronidase acts only on hyaluronic acid. When the examination cannot confirm hyaluronic acid, the visit ends as an assessment and no dissolving line is written.

02Count

Dissolving areas are marked and counted in front of you

Dr. Jonghwan Choi marks each region he is prepared to treat and names the ones being left alone. The count on the quotation is the count you can see in the mirror, and this is the moment to ask how paired sites will be charged.

03Grade

The first enzyme dose is deliberately measured

Hyaluronic acid products vary widely in cross-linking and gel structure, and published comparisons of these products, including a 2019 analysis of their rheology, show how far apart they sit. A firmer gel is generally reported to need more enzyme or a further session. A measured first dose takes longer overall and spares more of the hyaluronic acid your own tissue holds.

04Review

A further pass or a refill is priced only after review

The area is seen again once swelling has settled and the shape has stopped changing. Only then does a second enzyme pass, or new filler, reach a quotation. Neither is sold in advance on the day of the first injection.

Why here

What a plastic surgeon's examination changes on a dissolving bill

Most of what inflates a dissolving bill is avoidable: enzyme placed into material that will not respond, treatment of tissue that was never the problem, and a refill bought for a hollow that was only temporary.

01Diagnosis

Paying only for gel the enzyme can reach

Descent of the mid-face, fat, scar tissue and a collagen-stimulating product can all feel like leftover gel to the patient. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Choi works in these facial layers routinely, and part of the examination is telling you which of your concerns the enzyme can change and which it cannot.

02Scope

A dissolving quotation can be shorter than your list

You may arrive wanting several regions cleared and leave with a quotation for one or two. When a region may look acceptable once the problem area beside it has been corrected, it is held back for the review and costs nothing in the meantime.

03Continuity

The doctor who counts the areas also reviews them

One surgeon examines, injects and reviews. The reasoning behind each line on your quotation is therefore still in the room when a second pass or a refill is discussed, and nobody has to reconstruct it from notes.

Rewind sees patients by booking only: weekdays except Thursday from 10:00 to 19:00, Saturdays until 16:00, and never on Sundays. The clinic is on floors four and five of the Richro Building in Apgujeong, Gangnam. The dissolving rate covers the enzyme injected into each agreed area and the numbing used while it goes in. You can ask for the enzyme's packaging to be opened where you can read the label, and the request is treated as routine.

Bring whatever you still have about the original filler: dates, a product card, photographs from before it was placed. None of it changes the rate. It helps the doctor judge what is sitting in the area, which in turn makes the count of areas on your quotation more reliable.

Rates

Published rates

Filler dissolving price per area at Rewind, Seoul

The first row is the only dissolving line on Rewind's list. The two rows under it are the clinic's hyaluronic acid rates per cc, shown here because a refill, if you choose one later, is priced from them and never from the enzyme line.

Hyaluronidase, per treated areaFiller dissolving. Each agreed area is one line on the quotation
₩80,000
Domestic hyaluronic acid gel, 1ccFor a later refill, priced by the cc
₩200,000
Juvederm hyaluronic acid gel, 1ccAn imported gel from the same list, for comparison
₩500,000

Worked through without figures, the arithmetic looks like this. One lip treated once is one area line. Both under-eyes are one line or two, depending on what the quotation records for paired sites. A chin that needs a second session adds the area line again only where the quotation says a further pass is charged. VAT is added to the total at the end.

List rates, VAT excluded. The numbing preparation is included in the rate. Multi-area plans, and the charge for any further pass, are confirmed at the consultation once the areas have been examined.

Fit

Worth the fee

When a filler dissolving fee buys a visible change

Usually good value

  • Hyaluronic acid you can date and describe, sitting in one or two clearly defined areas
  • A lip border or under-eye hollow where the gel itself is the visible problem
  • Filler you already have that now looks heavier in photographs than it did when placed
  • A stay in Seoul long enough to attend the review before flying home

Poor value, or declined

  • A firm area that cannot be established as hyaluronic acid, where the enzyme would change nothing
  • Fullness caused by descent or fat, which removing gel will not lift
  • A known allergy to hyaluronidase, or a past reaction still waiting to be assessed
  • Infection or inflamed skin over the site, pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • An expectation that the area will look exactly as it did before any filler was placed

A declined request ends the visit before any enzyme is paid for. Where the examination points to looseness of the skin after the gel is gone, the conversation moves to tightening, which is priced on its own pages.

After

After the visit

Filler dissolving aftercare, and the costs that can follow it

Paying for a second pass or a refill too early is the most avoidable expense after dissolving. The stages below are there to stop that happening.

Same day
Swelling over a flatter shape
The injected area can look puffy on the surface and emptier underneath. Neither is the result, and neither is a reason to book anything new.
First day
Rewind's injectable instructions
Skip strenuous exercise, alcohol and sauna for a day, and leave the area unpressed. A cold compress helps a bruise settle. Everyday activity can carry on.
Following weeks
Native hyaluronic acid returns
Hyaluronic acid your own tissue holds is broken down along with the gel and is replaced by the body over time. Judging the area, or paying to refill it, waits until that has happened.
Review
Only now is a second line priced
If gel remains, a further pass is discussed against the quotation you already hold. If the area looks right, the dissolving budget ends here.

Expected effects are swelling, bruising, redness and tenderness at the injection points. Hypersensitivity to hyaluronidase is the reaction specific to this enzyme, ranging from local itching and swelling to rare allergic reactions affecting the whole body. The enzyme can take away more volume than planned, which may leave the two sides uneven or a hollow that lasts until native tissue recovers. Infection is uncommon. Report spreading swelling, hives, breathing difficulty or any change in vision to the clinic or to emergency services at once.

Questions

Filler dissolving cost: eight questions before the quotation

Is filler dissolving priced per area or per vial at Rewind?
Per area. Rewind's list gives the enzyme one line, ₩80,000 for each treated area with VAT added, and it carries no separate per-vial charge. The number of areas is agreed at the examination and written on your quotation before any injection is given.
Does the price change if my filler was placed by a previous provider?
No. The list has a single dissolving rate, and it does not vary with who placed the filler or whether that happened in Korea or abroad. What moves your total is the number of areas and whether a further pass turns out to be needed, and both are settled by examination.
Why can two people treating the same area pay different totals?
Hyaluronic acid products differ in cross-linking and firmness, and a large or long-standing deposit can need a second session. One patient clears in a single pass while another returns for a further one. How that further pass would be charged is written down before the first injection.
Are VAT and numbing charged on top of the listed rate?
VAT is added on top, so your receipt will read higher than the figure in the pricing section. The numbing preparation used while the enzyme is injected is already counted inside the rate and does not appear as a separate line.
Is there a dissolving charge if my filler turns out not to be hyaluronic acid?
No enzyme line is written for material that cannot be established as hyaluronic acid, because hyaluronidase has no effect on other filler materials. The visit becomes an assessment, and what can be done about that material is discussed at the consultation.
Is new filler afterwards part of the dissolving fee?
No. New gel is a separate purchase priced per cc and booked for a later appointment, because enzyme still active in the treated pocket would break down anything placed too soon. The per-cc rates are on the dermal filler page and in the pricing section here.
Can the number of areas change on the day?
The count is agreed in front of you before injection. If the examination finds that a region is not hyaluronic acid, or may look acceptable once its neighbour is corrected, it can be left off the quotation. Nothing is added to it without your agreement.
If I need a second pass, should I plan a longer stay in Seoul?
Plan for the possibility. Booking the examination early in the trip leaves room for the review, and for a further pass, before you fly home. The clinic's injectable guidance notes that bruising generally settles within a few days, so a later flight is also a more comfortable one.

Scientific evidence

Filler gel structure and the enzyme: the papers behind this page

Two of these papers compare the physical properties of hyaluronic acid filler products, which helps explain why one gel clears more readily than another under the same enzyme. The other two describe how cross-linked hyaluronic acid is broken down in tissue and how hyaluronidase has been used in aesthetic practice. None was produced at Rewind Plastic Surgery or paid for by it, and none can tell you how many passes your own area will need.
