Price report, Q3 2026

Worth it or not

Dermatology clinics and hospitals with a price list: WEDO Skin Clinic, the Pensilia chain with a branch on Nguyễn Đình Chiểu, a clinic in Phú Nhuận and Tâm Anh hospital's dermatology department. Where a Dutch price exists, Ho Chi Minh City is cheaper for all but HIFU skin tightening, by a wide margin for a consultation and laser mole removal and by less for a tattoo. Da Nang is cheaper on most items it shares with this page.

Check what the row is. The laser mole row is cosmetic, with no lab test, and covers a small mole. Tattoo removal and keloid injections are listed per session, though WEDO prints no unit on its tattoo lines and says a tattoo needs several sessions. WEDO's prices exclude VAT, and its whole-face laser row is a range the doctor sets after examination; simple IPL sessions cost far less and are not this row. Consultation fees vary with time of day and doctor. Biopsies, histology, tumour excisions and fillers have no price here. The flight is yours to add.
