The short answer

What an acne scar quote in Cheongdam is actually made of

Four lines carry scar work at Dear Clinic, and each one is sold in its own unit. Subcision, standard-tip Potenza and full-face CureJet are quoted per visit. CO2 and erbium are counted per lesion. Nothing else is added to the arithmetic, and no minimum number of visits is attached to any of them.

That structure is the reason a scar figure cannot be given over a message before anyone has looked at your face. A quote here is a multiplication: which of the four units your pattern calls for, how many of each, spread over how many appointments. Two people with the same complaint can leave the consultation with totals that are nowhere near each other, because one has eleven countable lesions on the cheeks and the other has a tethered floor across the whole mid-face.

What each line does to a scar, and which shapes respond to which, is set out on the acne scar treatment page. This page stays on the money: the units, the arithmetic, the variables that move a total, and the things the four figures do not settle.

The Rate Card

Four acne scar lines, and the unit each one is sold in

Read the middle column before the last one. The unit is what makes two totals differ, more than the figure beside it does.

Published lineUnit of saleWhat one unit buysListed rate
SubcisionOne visitNeedle release of scar floors that are tied down to the tissue beneath them, worked across the areas identified at the scan₩500,000 (≈ $355)
Potenza, standard tipOne visitRadiofrequency delivered through fine needles into the dermis, for scar walls and the coarse texture around them₩250,000 (≈ $180)
CureJetOne visit, full faceNeedle-free jet delivery across the whole face in a single pass, priced as one field instead of by the zone₩500,000 (≈ $355)
CO2 or erbium laserEach lesionFocused ablative work on one marked scar at a time, counted and agreed before the handpiece is switched on₩10,000 (≈ $5)

Korean won, with a dollar figure shown beside it as orientation only. The same four numbers are quoted whether your address is in Gangnam or abroad; nationality changes nothing on the card. Every other energy and laser line the clinic runs sits on the published price list, and the wider pigment and resurfacing menu is on the laser treatment category page.

The Arithmetic

Per visit, per lesion, per appointment: three ways a scar figure is counted

Three counting rules, and a total is always some combination of them.

RULE 01

A visit rate is charged once, however wide the field

Subcision, the standard Potenza tip and CureJet each carry one figure for the appointment. Releasing four tethered scars and releasing nine in the same sitting is the same line on your bill. This is why a director will often gather scattered work into one longer visit instead of splitting it.

RULE 02

Ablative work multiplies by the number of scars marked

CO2 and erbium are counted one lesion at a time, so a face with a handful of deep pits and a face with forty behave completely differently on the sheet. The marking is done with you watching, the count is read back, and it is fixed before any energy is delivered.

RULE 03

Lines stack inside a single appointment

Release, needle energy and ablative finishing are often wanted on the same day. When two lines run in one visit the two published figures simply add; there is no bundled rate that appears when they are combined, and equally nothing is withheld because they are.

Because the units are public, you can do the sum yourself before you arrive. A visit built from release plus needle radiofrequency is ₩500,000 and ₩250,000 added together; a visit that also marks six individual pits adds six times ₩10,000 on top. That is the whole method. No figure on your quote will have come from anywhere except this card.

What Moves It

The five findings that move an acne scar total

All five come out of the examination. None of them come out of the calendar.

How many scars are countable, and how much of the texture runs together. A face with discrete, deep pits sitting in otherwise even skin pushes the total towards per-lesion work, and that scales linearly. A face where the texture runs together is served better by a field line, which does not scale at all.
Whether the floor of a scar is tethered. Where fibrous strands hold a depression down, energy delivered from above works against an anchor. Release is the line that answers that finding, and adding it to a plan adds one visit rate each time it is used.
How many lines a single appointment can reasonably carry. Stacking is limited by what the skin should absorb in one day and not by what the sheet allows. Where the director judges that two lines are enough for one sitting, the third waits, and the cost with it.
How your skin answers the first round. Scar work is read at review. A pattern that responds strongly to release may need fewer ablative counts afterwards than the first estimate assumed, and the estimate is revised downwards when that happens.
Whether pigment or active breakouts need handling first. Where the scan finds inflammation still running, or marks that are colour instead of contour, the scar sequence waits and a different line goes first. That reorders the spend and sometimes reduces it, because flat brown marks are not scars and do not need scar lines.

What does not move the figure: the day of the week, whether you book on a public holiday, how far you have travelled, or which director you are seen by. Those are fixed by the card and by the clinic opening 365 days a year.

Outside The Figure

What the four published rates do not settle on their own

A rate card answers one question precisely and several others not at all. These are the ones it leaves open, and each is dealt with in front of you before anything proceeds.

How many appointments the course will run to. Nobody can count that reliably from a photograph, and we will not pre-sell a number in order to look decisive. The director gives a working range at diagnosis and revises it at each review, and you pay for visits as they happen.
What the consultation and the imaging involve. The EVE Muse capture and the examination are arranged when you book, and whatever applies to them is set out at the desk before your appointment starts.
Aftercare and anything added on the day. Post-session care, soothing steps and any line not named on the card above carry their own arrangements, and they are quoted to you before they are carried out. Nothing is put on a bill that was not agreed out loud.
Programme routes that have no published figure yet. The staged D-ARC Solution and Dear Cut Solution routes are quoted from the component lines they actually use until a programme rate is published, so the sum stays traceable to this card.
Seasonal programme pricing. Where a current programme banner states that a figure excludes VAT, the final number is confirmed to you in writing before the booking is taken.
Budget

Spending a fixed amount across the acne scar lines

Three starting positions people actually arrive with, and where the money goes first in each.

CASE 01

A few deep pits, the rest of the skin even

Per-lesion ablative work is the efficient buy here, because you are paying only for the scars you actually have. At ₩10,000 (≈ $5) each, a short list stays modest, and the field lines can be left out of the first round entirely.

CASE 02

Rolling depressions across both cheeks

Release earns its place first at ₩500,000 (≈ $355), because energy spent on an anchored floor is money spent twice. Needle radiofrequency follows at ₩250,000 (≈ $180) once the floor has been freed, usually at a later appointment.

CASE 03

Texture everywhere and no single worst scar

A field line is the sensible first spend, since a full-face unit at ₩500,000 (≈ $355) does not multiply as the count rises. Per-lesion work is then held back for whatever still stands out once the background has evened.

Whichever case you recognise, say the number you are working with at the consultation. A director who knows the ceiling can order the sequence so the most useful line is bought first, and that is a better use of a limited budget than spreading it thinly across all four in one enthusiastic afternoon.

No Quote Yet

When we do not quote scar work on the day you ask

Four findings that stop a scar quote being written, and what is offered instead.

Acne that is still active. Treating scars around inflamed lesions invites fresh marks. We do not recommend opening a scar course while breakouts are running, and the active acne route is quoted instead until the skin is quiet.
Marks that are colour, not contour. Flat brown or red patches left by old spots are pigment. They respond to toning or vascular work, and paying scar rates for them buys nothing, so we say so at the scan.
Skin that is currently irritated, sunburnt or on medication that thins it. Ablative and needle work carry real risks on compromised skin: burns, prolonged redness, and hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation that can take months to settle. The appointment is postponed until the skin is calm again.
Raised or keloid-type scarring. These behave differently from depressed scars and can worsen with the wrong energy. Where the examination finds them, the plan changes and we will decline the lines on this card for that particular scar.

The risks that belong to the lines themselves are named at consent, every time: bruising and swelling after release, pinpoint crusting and days of redness after needle radiofrequency, and a longer healing window with pigment change possible after ablative work, more so on deeper skin tones. Comfort measures during a session are confirmed at your consultation and set to the area being treated.

Dear, Knowhow

Why a scar quote here is written after the scan and not before it

01 — DIAGNOSIS FIRST

The count comes off the EVE Muse capture

Three-dimensional imaging under five light sources with AI analysis is read beside a hands-on examination, and it is what separates a countable pit from a continuous texture and a shadow from a real depression. The lesion count that drives your arithmetic is taken from that reading.

02 — THE FULL ARSENAL

All four scar lines sit in the building

Release, needle radiofrequency, needle-free delivery and ablative laser are all in-house. Nothing is recommended because it is the only thing on the trolley, and where none of the four fits the finding, that answer is available too.

03 — DIRECTOR-PERFORMED

The hand that marked the scars does the counting

Scar sessions here are director-performed, and the doctor who marks the lesions is the one who quotes them and the one who sees you at review. A count read aloud by the person holding the pen is harder to inflate than one generated at a desk.

FAQ

Acne scar pricing in Cheongdam, question by question

How much does acne scar treatment cost at Dear Clinic?
Four lines carry published figures. Subcision is ₩500,000 (≈ $355) a visit, a standard-tip Potenza session is ₩250,000 (≈ $180), full-face CureJet is ₩500,000 (≈ $355), and CO2 or erbium work is ₩10,000 (≈ $5) for each lesion treated. Your total is whichever of those units your examination calls for.
Why is ablative laser work counted per lesion instead of per session?
Because that is what the handpiece is doing. Focused CO2 or erbium work treats one marked scar at a time, so the effort and the material follow the count. A face with five deep pits genuinely costs less to treat this way than a face with thirty, and per-lesion pricing is what lets the sheet show that.
Is a package or a fixed number of sessions sold here?
No. Scar lines are quoted as they are used, appointment by appointment. The director estimates a working range at diagnosis and revises it at each review, so you are never holding credit for sessions your skin turned out not to need.
Do international patients pay a different acne scar price?
No. The four figures on this page are the figures on the file whichever passport is attached to it, and there is no surcharge for treating a visitor. Enquiries in English are answered as soon as possible and the quote you receive by message is the quote you are given at the desk.
What happens to the cost if two lines are used in the same appointment?
The two published figures add together. Release followed by needle radiofrequency in one sitting is simply ₩500,000 (≈ $355) and ₩250,000 (≈ $180) side by side. There is no combined rate and no penalty either way, which keeps the arithmetic something you can check yourself.
Does it cost less if only one cheek or a small area is treated?
For the three visit-rate lines, no. Subcision, the standard Potenza tip and CureJet are charged once for the appointment regardless of how much of the face is worked, so a narrow treatment carries the same figure as a wide one. Per-lesion ablative work is the only line that narrows with the area.
How many visits will my scars need, and can you tell me before I come?
Not reliably from a photograph. Depressed scarring is normally staged across several appointments, and the number depends on depth, tethering and how your skin answers the first round. You get a working range at the consultation and a revised one at each review, instead of a figure invented to close a sale.
What is the D-ARC Solution quoted at?
There is no published programme figure for it yet, so it is quoted from the component lines it actually uses on the day. That keeps the sum traceable to the same rate card as everything else on this page, and it is explained item by item before the appointment is confirmed.
Can scar work be booked on a Sunday or a public holiday?
Yes. The clinic runs 365 days a year, weekends and holidays included, and the rate card does not change on those days. For a visitor working to a short itinerary this is often what makes a staged scar plan possible at all.
I still get breakouts. Will you quote scar work now?
Usually not. Treating scars while acne is still active invites new marks, so we do not recommend opening a scar course until the skin is quiet and we quote the active acne route first. It is a delay, and it protects the money you are about to spend on the scars themselves.
Are the brown marks left by old spots priced as scars?
No, and they should not be. Flat discolouration is pigment, not a change in contour, and it answers to toning or vascular lines instead. Paying a scar rate for a pigment problem buys nothing, so the examination separates the two before any figure is written down.
Is the consultation and the scan arranged before I get a quote?
Yes. The examination and the EVE Muse capture come first, because the lesion count and the tethering finding are what the arithmetic runs on. Whatever applies to that appointment is set out at the desk when you book, and no figure is quoted for treatment before your face has been read.
