Dermal filler prices in Vietnam vary widely because clinics may charge by syringe, by treatment area, or as part of a broader facial plan. The price also depends on the product, the amount used, the injector's qualifications, and whether consultation and follow-up are included.
For someone living in Vietnam or visiting for treatment, the most useful approach is not to look for one national average. It is to compare like with like: the same filler brand, the same syringe size, the same treatment area, and a clearly identified medical practitioner. This guide explains realistic published price examples, the questions to ask before booking, and the safety points that should matter as much as cost.
Typical dermal filler prices in Vietnam
Based on publicly listed prices available in 2026, a practical planning range is roughly VND 4.5 million to VND 16 million for 1 ml or 1 cc of filler at private aesthetic clinics. Some hospital or procedure-based listings are higher, with individual facial treatments published at VND 10 million to VND 30 million or more.
These figures are not a regulated national tariff and they should not be treated as a guaranteed quote. They are examples of what providers currently publish.
| Published example | Listed price | Important limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Korean filler in Ho Chi Minh City | VND 4.5 million per 1 cc | Price published for a specific clinic and treatment page |
| Korean filler in Da Nang | VND 5 million per 1 ml | Reference price, subject to consultation |
| Swiss filler in Da Nang | VND 9 million per 1 ml | Brand and exact product line should be confirmed |
| Juvéderm filler in Da Nang | VND 10 million per 1 ml | Final price may depend on treatment plan |
| European filler in Ho Chi Minh City | VND 16 million per 1 cc | Published for forehead or temple treatment |
| Selected filler procedures at a Hanoi hospital | VND 10 million to VND 30 million | Listed by treatment area, not always clearly by syringe |
A useful working budget for one treatment area is therefore often about VND 5 million to VND 20 million, but a multi-syringe plan can cost considerably more. A quote below or above this range is not automatically good or bad. The clinic should be able to explain exactly what is included.
Why filler quotes differ so much
Product brand and formulation
Dermal filler is not one standard product. Hyaluronic acid fillers come in different formulations designed for softer movement, structural support, fine lines, lips, cheeks, chin, or other uses.
A quote should state:
- The full product and manufacturer name
- The syringe size
- Whether the syringe is unopened
- The batch or lot number and expiry date
- The intended treatment area
- Whether the product is temporary, semi-permanent, or permanent
Do not rely only on broad descriptions such as "Korean filler" or "European filler". Two products from the same country can have different indications, regulatory status, prices, and clinical characteristics.
Number of syringes
Many advertised prices refer to one 1 ml syringe, but the final plan may involve more than one syringe. The required amount depends on anatomy, the treatment goal, the product selected, and the injector's assessment.
Ask for a written estimate showing the expected number of syringes. Also ask whether an unused portion can legally and safely be stored for later use. In many settings, a syringe is intended for one patient and one treatment session, so this should never be assumed.
Treatment area
Lips, chin, cheeks, temples, nasolabial folds, and under-eye areas have different technical requirements and risk profiles. Some clinics use a simple per-syringe price. Others charge a higher procedure fee for areas that require more time, experience, or a specific product.
The nose, forehead, glabella, and areas around the eyes require particular caution because accidental injection into a blood vessel can cause serious complications. A lower price should not be the main reason to choose an injector for a technically demanding area.
Practitioner and facility
The fee may reflect the clinician's qualifications, experience, consultation time, medical support, facility costs, and capacity to manage a complication. Vietnam's Ministry of Health has acknowledged that unlicensed aesthetic facilities and inadequately trained staff continue to operate, including places presenting themselves as beauty salons, spas, or skincare centres.
Ask for the facility's operating licence and the injector's medical qualifications. A business registration certificate is not the same as proof that a facility is authorised to perform a medical injection.
Consultation, anaesthetic, and follow-up
Some quotes include the assessment, topical anaesthetic, injection, aftercare advice, and a review appointment. Others cover only the filler itself.
Before paying a deposit, ask whether the price includes:
- Medical consultation
- Anaesthetic or numbing cream
- The full syringe and consumables
- A review appointment
- Management of expected swelling or asymmetry
- Correction or dissolution, if clinically appropriate
- Taxes and card charges
- English-language assistance
A "free touch-up" may still have conditions, such as a limited time window or an extra product charge. Request the policy in writing.
Example budgets by treatment type
The following are planning examples, not recommended doses or medical advice.
Lip filler
A clinic may quote a single 1 ml syringe, placing many published prices in the VND 4.5 million to VND 16 million range. The final cost depends on the product and whether the clinic charges separately for consultation or review.
Chin or jawline contouring
Chin treatment may be priced per syringe or per procedure. Public listings range from lower single-syringe clinic prices to hospital procedure prices of around VND 18 million to VND 30 million. A broader jawline plan may require additional product and a higher total quote.
Cheeks and temples
Cheek or temple treatment can involve more than one syringe, especially when both sides are treated. Even when the per-syringe price looks moderate, the total can rise quickly. Ask the clinician to separate the product cost from any procedure fee.
Nasolabial folds
A Hanoi hospital price list published a VND 10 million service for nasolabial fold filler and another specific service listing at VND 24 million. This illustrates why the service name alone is not enough. Confirm the product, volume, provider, and patient category attached to the price.
Under-eye filler
Under-eye treatment is technically sensitive and may not be suitable for every person. Do not choose it solely because a clinic advertises a small amount or a low promotional price. Ask about the injector's specific experience, alternatives, potential swelling, and the plan for urgent complications.
How to compare clinic quotes
Use the same checklist for each provider so that you are comparing equivalent services.
- Ask for the exact product name and syringe volume.
- Confirm who will perform the injection and their qualifications.
- Ask whether the facility is licensed for the procedure.
- Request the total estimated cost, including consultation and follow-up.
- Ask to see the sealed box, batch number, and expiry date before treatment.
- Confirm whether the clinic can provide a product record and itemised receipt.
- Ask what happens if you develop a complication after hours.
- Check whether English support is available during consent, treatment, and follow-up.

Deposits, payment, and insurance
Cosmetic filler treatment is generally elective, so travellers and expatriates should be prepared to pay privately unless their insurer confirms coverage in writing. Do not assume that travel or international health insurance covers the procedure, follow-up, or treatment of complications because policy terms differ.
Ask whether the clinic accepts cash, local bank transfer, or international cards. Confirm the currency, cancellation terms, refund policy, and whether the deposit is transferable if the clinician advises against treatment after assessment.
Keep an itemised invoice, the consent form, product details, clinic contact information, and any aftercare instructions. These documents can be important if you need follow-up in another city or country.
What to discuss before the appointment
Tell the clinician about previous fillers, cosmetic surgery, allergies, active skin problems, dental work, current medicines, supplements, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and any history of severe allergic reactions. Do not stop prescribed medicine simply to reduce bruising unless the prescribing clinician tells you to do so.
Ask how long you should remain in Vietnam after the procedure and when a review would be useful. This matters particularly for travellers leaving Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, or Da Nang shortly after treatment.
A careful provider should explain expected swelling and bruising, realistic limits, alternative options, and signs that need urgent attention. You should have time to ask questions and should not feel pressured to accept extra syringes or same-day treatment.
Safety should carry more weight than a promotion
Common short-term effects include swelling, bruising, redness, pain, and tenderness. Less common complications include infection, nodules, allergic reactions, open wounds, and tissue damage.
The most serious recognised risk is accidental injection into a blood vessel. This can interrupt blood supply and, although uncommon, may lead to skin necrosis, visual impairment, blindness, or stroke. International guidance recommends choosing a licensed health professional with relevant training and experience and asking exactly which product will be used.
Seek immediate local medical help if you develop unusual or severe pain, vision changes, white, grey, blue, or mottled skin near the injection area, sudden weakness, facial drooping, speech difficulty, severe headache, dizziness, or confusion during or shortly after treatment. Contact the treating clinic at the same time, but do not delay emergency assessment while waiting for a reply.
Final cost checklist
Before confirming an appointment, make sure the written quote answers five questions:
- What exact filler and syringe size will be used?
- How many syringes are expected?
- Who performs the injection and where?
- What consultation, aftercare, and review are included?
- What is the total price if more product or complication management is needed?
Published prices suggest that one syringe in Vietnam commonly starts around VND 4.5 million to VND 5 million, while branded products and procedure-based hospital services may be substantially higher. The practical next step is to obtain two or three itemised quotes and compare the product, practitioner, facility, and follow-up plan rather than choosing on price alone.
Frequently asked questions
What is the average cost of dermal fillers in Vietnam?
There is no official national average. Published 2026 examples suggest roughly VND 4.5 million to VND 16 million per 1 ml or 1 cc at some private clinics, while procedure-based hospital prices can reach VND 10 million to VND 30 million or more.
Are filler prices quoted per syringe or per treatment area?
Both systems are used. Ask whether the quote covers one sealed syringe, a specific volume, or a complete treatment area, and request the total expected cost before paying a deposit.
Are dermal fillers cheaper in Da Nang than Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City?
Some Da Nang listings are lower, but city alone does not determine price. Product brand, syringe volume, injector, facility, and treatment area can create larger differences than location.
Does insurance cover cosmetic fillers in Vietnam?
Elective cosmetic filler is usually self-funded. Check your travel or international health insurance directly because exclusions may also affect treatment for complications.
What should I ask a clinic before booking filler?
Ask for the exact product, syringe size, expected quantity, total cost, injector's qualifications, facility licence, aftercare plan, and emergency contact. Confirm that you can see the sealed product and receive its batch details.
When should I seek urgent help after filler?
Seek immediate medical care for unusual or severe pain, visual changes, pale or blue-grey skin, facial weakness, speech difficulty, severe headache, dizziness, or confusion. These symptoms can indicate a rare but serious vascular complication.
