In Korea, the costs of vein stripping and phlebectomy can vary depending on the clinic, the complexity of the procedure, and the specific treatments required. On average, you can expect these procedures to cost between ₩1,000,000 to ₩3,000,000 (approximately $800 to $2,500 USD), but prices may vary.
Regarding insurance coverage, national health insurance in Korea generally does not cover the cost of vein stripping or phlebectomy for cosmetic reasons. However, if the procedure is deemed medically necessary (for instance, if varicose veins are causing significant pain or health complications), some portion of the costs may be covered by health insurance. It’s always best to consult with the clinic, like Charm Vascular Clinic, to get a more accurate estimate and to confirm if your specific case qualifies for insurance coverage.
