I'm Dr. Hyunji Kim, Director and Lead Physician at Delphic Clinic in Gangnam. I trained at Korea University Medical Center and I'm a member of the Korean Filler Society and the Korean Academy of Aesthetic Surgery & Laser Medicine. Collagen-stimulating injections are a regular part of my anti-aging work.
Korea Radiesse is a search I see more from visitors in their late 30s to 50s, usually after a friend mentioned it as a 'better filler'. It is a very good product for the right face and area, and the wrong choice for others. This guide covers how I decide, what it costs per area, and how to plan it around a trip.
Is Radiesse in Korea right for your face? A quick self-check
- Your skin looks thinner or crepey on the neck, jawline or backs of the hands.
- Your cheeks or temples have flattened slowly with age rather than sagged suddenly.
- You want a gradual, natural change rather than a visible 'filled' look on day one.
- You can accept that results build after you fly home.
If most of these sound like you, Radiesse is worth discussing. If your main concern is a loose jawline that drops when you lean forward, lifting usually comes first, and Radiesse may be an add-on rather than the answer.
Not sure this fits your case? Ask whether it suits you, available dates and interpreter support.

If you're comparing it with a skin-quality injectable, my Juvelook guide explains that option in detail, and our Radiesse treatment page lists every area and price.
Radiesse rewards patience. If you need a visible change by Saturday's dinner, it's the wrong tool.— Dr. Hyunji Kim, Delphic Clinic
Radiesse Korea cost: priced by area, not by vial count alone
We price Radiesse per syringe for an area about the size of your palm, and the neck and backs of the hands cost more because they need a finer technique. The vial is opened and diluted in front of you.
| Radiesse 1 syringe - Face, Abdomen [Per palm area] | ₩1,100,000$800 |
| Radiesse 1 syringe - Neck, Back of Hands [Per palm area] | ₩1,400,000$1,010 |
| Radiesse 1 Syringe (First-visit trial) | ₩800,000$580 |
| Radiesse 1 syringe (First-visit trial) | ₩990,000$720 |
If you're budgeting several treatments on one trip, my guide to reading a Seoul price list explains trial, event and regular prices side by side.

Fitting Radiesse into a Seoul trip
- Book it early in the trip, so we can see you again before you fly if needed.
- Expect swelling and possible bruising for a few days; most people go out the same day.
- Avoid saunas, hard exercise and massage on the area for about a week.
- Don't plan an important photo the day after.
Who should skip Radiesse
- You want fuller lips or a sharp chin shape: other fillers fit better.
- You're pregnant or breastfeeding, or have an active skin infection in the area.
- You tend to form lumps or keloids after injections.
- You need the option to dissolve the product later.
What to send before booking

- 2Any filler or collagen injections in the past two years, and where.
- 3Your travel dates.
- 4What you'd like to look different, in one sentence.

4.7 · 260 Google reviewsI received ONDA lifting and Juvelook Skin treatment at Delpic Clinic. Before the procedure, Dr. K carefully examined my skin condition and explained everything in a kind and easy-to-understand way, which made me feel very comfortable and reassured. During the treatment, I could really tell that Dr. K was highly skilled, so I felt confident and at ease throughout the entire process. Overall, I was very satisfied with my experience. It’s definitely a clinic I would love to visit again.

Frequently asked questions
How much is Radiesse in Korea at Delphic Clinic?
Radiesse is priced per syringe for an area about the size of your palm: 1,100,000 KRW for the face or abdomen and 1,400,000 KRW for the neck or backs of the hands. First-visit trial prices are 800,000 KRW and 990,000 KRW respectively.
Is Radiesse the same as hyaluronic acid filler?
No. Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxyapatite and works mainly by stimulating your own collagen over the following weeks. It is not dissolvable with the enzyme used for hyaluronic acid filler, which is one reason I choose patients and areas carefully.
When will I see results from Radiesse?
There is some immediate support, but the main change builds over weeks as collagen forms. That is why I tell visitors the best result usually shows after they are home.
Can Radiesse be used in the lips or under the eyes?
I don't use it in the lips, and I'm very cautious near the eyes. Those areas suit other options better, and I'll tell you which at consultation.
