Start with the exact entry, then fill the information gaps
DI’s published schedule lists “Hydrating skin booster - 2 cc” at KRW 120,000, excluding VAT. The amount comes from the 11 September 2026 schedule, with the VAT policy updated on 24 October 2026. Confirm today’s applicable price rather than treating a dated list as a personal quotation.
The entry does not specify the brand, ingredients or injection method. This guide therefore does not identify DI’s treatment as hyaluronic acid (HA), Rejuran, a particular cocktail or any named product. Ask the clinic to identify what would actually be proposed before comparing online claims. The separate HYCOOX device add-on is not proof that it is included or appropriate for this entry.
Describe a concern instead of ordering an injection volume
Tell the clinician whether you want assessment of dryness, texture, fine lines or another concern, and describe what you have tried. A marketing term does not establish a diagnosis. Changes in skin appearance can have different causes, and an injection may not be the appropriate first choice.
Two cubic centimetres equals two millilitres as a volume unit. It does not specify an ingredient concentration, how much product reaches a particular area, a number of injection points, a treatment interval or the amount suitable for you. Do not convert the catalogue volume into a self-selected injection plan. Ask about alternatives, including skin care, assessment by another specialist or no treatment.
| The listing tells you | It does not tell you |
|---|---|
| The service name and listed 2 cc volume | Brand, ingredients, concentration or suitability |
| A dated KRW amount excluding VAT | Current complete personal quotation |
| A skin-booster catalogue category | A diagnosis, guaranteed benefit or individual protocol |
Separate HA research from an unspecified product
Some research evaluates defined HA formulations used to improve skin quality. In a 2023 prospective pilot indexed as PMID 37705328, 20 participants received a specific HA gel with lidocaine and were followed for 12 weeks. Several measurements improved from baseline. However, it was a single-arm, open-label study: there was no randomized untreated comparison to establish how much change the product itself caused.
A different study, PMID 32248707, enrolled 27 people in a randomized split-face comparison of PN and non-crosslinked HA around the eyes. Not all appearance scores distinguished the groups. This is an active-product comparison in a particular area, not proof that every skin booster is effective or that the unknown DI product is the same. Neither study establishes a predictable result, a universal schedule or rare-event safety for DI’s catalogue entry.
Compare products and evidence with a short written checklist
Ask for the proposed product name, material, relevant indication, intended area and the clinician’s reason for selecting it. If someone cites a study, ask whether its formulation, area, method and participants resemble the proposed treatment. A familiar ingredient name alone is not enough to establish equivalence.
Keep the discussion practical: what improvement is reasonably being considered, how will it be assessed, what alternatives exist, and when would repeating or stopping treatment be discussed? Ask about the product’s Korean regulatory information. A foreign approval, a publication or the fact that an ingredient occurs naturally in the body does not certify this proposed use or eliminate risk.
| Ask about | Record the answer |
|---|---|
| Product identity | Exact name, ingredients and local indication information |
| Assessed purpose | Concern, area and why this approach is proposed |
| Evidence | Whether the cited study applies to that product and use |
| Review | How response, side effects and further treatment are reassessed |
Discuss history, risks and a contact plan before deciding
Provide records of earlier injections or procedures when available, and disclose allergies, previous reactions, current skin problems, medicines and supplements. Say when a product is unknown rather than guessing its name. Do not stop prescribed medicine on your own to prepare for a cosmetic visit.
Ask the treating clinician to explain expected reactions, important complications, their response arrangements and the circumstances that need urgent examination for the actual product and area. A small pilot that reports no serious events cannot exclude uncommon harm. This guide cannot assign a complication rate or diagnose a reaction for an unspecified injection. If you develop a severe or rapidly worsening problem after treatment, seek medical care rather than waiting for a social-media response.
Get a complete quotation and plan the visit around review
Clarify the current product and volume included, VAT, consultation, anesthesia if relevant, medicines, device add-ons and follow-up charges. Do not assume that a low catalogue unit price includes every service or that a package determines the right number of sessions. Ask how changes to the assessed plan affect the quotation.
For a visit to Seoul, confirm appointment availability, language arrangements and follow-up access before buying travel or arranging another procedure. Ask who can assess you after you return home and what records you will receive. DI is at 12F, Seosan Building, 441 Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, between Gangnam and Sinnonhyeon stations. An online inquiry does not confirm an appointment or a treatment plan.
Read the illustrations as questions, not a clinical protocol
The three AI-generated figures explain the gap between a volume listing and product identity, the limits of research designs, and a consultation checklist. They do not show patient results, actual DI products, an injection pattern or equipment used by DI. The same key information is available in this text.

Information that helps us prepare a useful reply
When contacting the clinic, tell us the procedure or concern you would like to discuss, your preferred language, whether you have had related treatment before and the dates you could visit Seoul. International patients may also wish to include their arrival and departure dates so the team can explain when an in-person consultation and follow-up may fit into the trip.
Please do not send passport numbers, payment information or complete medical records through an initial website inquiry. A coordinator can explain which health information or photographs are relevant and how they should be shared. Online guidance is preliminary; suitability, technique and the final treatment plan are determined only after an appropriate medical assessment.
