Is it worth going to Korea just for botox?

[KimsHere]

I know getting neuromodulator injections is not super expensive compared to other things you can get done but if the price is way cheaper, I am wondering if it would be worth making a trip to Korea. Has anyone gone just for botox? Was it worth it? I am on the fence and hoping to find someone here with experience.

You can get botox in Korea as low as $20 a session compared to what I have seen in the US - the cheapest being $250, that is a massive savings! 

I am only just looking into this but based on what I have read, it seems worth it for the cost alone. You have to consider the travel cost however so making it more of a vacation than just a trip for botox is probably more worth it.

I don't think so. If you factor in the costs for travel and stay, plus food and shopping you end up paying more. I think the above poster is right, make it a vacation and tack on getting botox as a spa treatment of sorts while there rather than just going to there only for botox.

It is only worth it if you value the quality and service over the cost. 

The cost is cheaper but as mentioned, you have to factor in flights, hotel stays, etc. which add to it. I personally would only get it done if I had already planned on being in Korea for a trip or other surgery.

I got botox in Korea and loved it. It looked way better than what I had done in the states. I always recommend it. I just don't think the cost of flights and hotel stay justifies such a small and basic intervention that most people can easily find locally.

NOPE. It is not worth it. Botox is not something that is terribly expensive to begin with.

Why would I ever go to another country and spend all the costs of hotel, flights, etc. and pay more when I can just book an appointment 30 min from where I live?
