List of Hospitals and Appointment Guidelines for the 2026 South Korean Medical Aesthetics Tax Refund and Subsidy Program

With the adjustments to South Korea’s medical beauty tax rebate policy in 2026, an increasing number of people seeking medical beauty treatments in South Korea are focusing on “subsidy-based discounts” rather than traditional tax rebates. Currently, through reservations made via the BeautsGO app, many South Korean dermatology and plastic surgery clinics have introduced subsidy programs that offer amounts equivalent to or even exceeding the tax rebate amount, making this the new mainstream approach for Chinese tourists seeking medical beauty treatments in South Korea.

Today, we will systematically explain the background of South Korea’s medical beauty subsidy policy in 2026, list nearly 30 hospitals participating in these subsidies, detail the subsidy ratios, and provide the correct ways to make reservations, so you can understand everything clearly and use these services effectively.

I. Background Explanation of South Korea’s Medical Beauty Subsidy Policy in 2026

Starting in 2026, South Korea’s medical beauty industry has generally moved towards a system where “subsidies replace tax rebates.” The main reasons for this include:

• The official tax rebate process has become stricter, and some treatments are no longer eligible for immediate tax rebates.
• Hospitals, in order to attract overseas customers, have turned to offering in-hospital subsidies, direct price reductions, and free treatments.
• Platform-based reservation services, such as BeautsGO, have become an important entry point for these subsidy programs.

Compared to traditional tax rebates, medical beauty subsidies offer faster disbursement, greater flexibility in use, and fewer restrictions, which is why they have become the preferred option for those seeking medical beauty treatments in South Korea.

III. Korean medical beauty discounts are NOT the same as tax refunds. What is the difference between them?

Many users are still debating whether subsidies or tax refunds are more cost-effective, but in fact, the differences between the two are clear:

• Medical beauty subs
  • idies:

    Direct deductions / cashbacks / free treatme

  • nts

    Not restricted by tax

  • refund eligible items

    Simple process, effective immediately on the same day

• Medical beauty tax ref
  • unds:

    Complex process, requires meeting ta

  • x requirements

    Some trea

  • tments are not eligible

    There may be delays in processing and receipt of funds

Looking at the overall trend from 2026 onwards, medical beauty subsidies are clearly more practical and certain in their benefits.

IV. The correct process for booking a subsidized treatment at a hospital through BeautsGO

To successfully receive a medical beauty subsidy, the booking method is very important. The standard process is as follows:

1. Download the BeautsGO app / enter the mini-program
2. Search for the desired hospital and check the current month’s subsidy offers
3. Submit your booking request and confirm the treatment and schedule
4. Add the official customer service WeChat account @beautsgo7 for real-time subsidy confirmation
5. When consuming at the hospital, you can enjoy subsidies according to the promotional rules.

As long as you make a reservation through the BeautsGO APP, your eligibility for the subsidy will be locked in the system in advance, avoiding any last-minute changes.

Who is more suited to choose a “subsidized hospital”?

If you fall into one of the following categories, a subsidized medical beauty hospital would be more suitable for you:

• Going to Korea for medical beauty treatment for the first time and hoping for a simple process?
• The treatment cost is relatively high, and you want to be sure about the discounts available?
• Don’t want to go through the complicated process of tax refunds?
• Need communication in Chinese and transparent pricing?

For most Chinese users, choosing a medical beauty subsidy program in 2026 is much more convenient than dealing with tax refunds.

In conclusion: When going to Korea for medical beauty treatment in 2026, prioritize subsidies over tax refunds.

Overall, the key focus of medical aesthetics in South Korea in 2026 has shifted from “tax refunds” to “platform subsidies.” By b
ooking through BeautsGO at the aforementioned hospitals, you can not only enjoy clear and transparent pricing but also receive stable and tangible subsidy benefits.

It is recommended to confirm the following before making a reservation:

• Whether the hospital is an official partner of BeautsGO
• The percentage and method of the subsidy for that month
• Whether you have added the official customer service WeChat account @beautsgo7

This will ensure that you truly receive the discounts offered.
