How much does acne treatment cost in Cheongdam, Gangnam, Seoul?
Two published device lines carry it. A full-face appointment of gland-targeted insulated-needle radiofrequency is ₩250,000 (≈ $180), and a full-face appointment of needle-free jet delivery is ₩500,000 (≈ $355). Each is a per-visit figure, and which one your skin is quoted for is decided from the scan at the consultation.
What does the radiofrequency full-face figure actually cover?
One appointment across the face, with Agnes (insulated-needle radiofrequency), PTT (photothermal) and MLA (picosecond laser micro lens array) all sitting under the same published line. The tip used at each point is a clinical decision, and choosing one over another does not change what you pay. Treatment is worked point by point where the finding puts it.
Is jet delivery charged by the syringe or by the face?
By the face, per appointment. The published line is a full-face scope, so a visit with more lesions and a visit with fewer carry the same figure. What changes between people is how many appointments a plan ends up needing, and that is settled a visit at a time with the scan in front of you.
How many appointments will I be paying for in total?
No fixed number is printed here, because a figure written before an examination would be a guess dressed up as a plan. Lesion type, how long the pattern has been running, how your skin answers the first appointment and what is happening hormonally all move it. Your director gives you a working range at the consultation and revises it as the plan proceeds.
What will actually appear on my bill at the first visit?
Whatever was agreed with you before anything was switched on. The plan is explained, the lines that apply to it are named, and the figure is confirmed while you can still say no. Nothing is added afterwards without being raised with you first, and a visit where the skin was read but not treated is not billed as a treatment.
Can both acne lines run in the same appointment?
Sometimes, and it depends on what each asks of skin that is already inflamed. Where both are genuinely indicated they are more often placed in separate visits, because stacking two irritating procedures on an active flare is how a good plan produces a bad week. If they do run together, both lines appear on the quote.
Do visitors from abroad pay a different rate for acne work?
No. Both lines are identical for someone who lives in Cheongdam and someone who landed this morning, and a foreign passport adds no surcharge. Payment is settled in Korean won at the desk, and the dollar figure shown on the site is an orientation number that moves with the exchange rate.
Is there a package that works out cheaper than paying per visit?
Block arrangements do appear on the clinic's published list for treatments that are genuinely course-based, and active acne is not billed that way here. The right next appointment is decided by what the last one did. Paying as you go is what lets a plan change direction without anybody arguing about a balance already taken.
What if my acne needs medication instead of a device?
Then you are told that at the consultation and no device line is charged that day. Prescription acne treatment needs examination, monitoring and follow-up over months, and that belongs with a physician who can provide all three. It is a cheaper answer than a course of appointments aimed at the wrong target.
Why is acne scar work priced separately from active acne?
Because it is different work on different tissue, usually at a different time. Settling inflammation and rebuilding texture are separate jobs, and treating the second while the first is still producing lesions spends money on a face that is about to change again. Scar lines are quoted when the acne itself is quiet.
Can I get a written quote before I fly to Seoul?
Yes, marked provisional. Send daylight photographs of the affected areas and a short history of what you have already tried, and your director will reply with the lines that look likely and a range of appointments. It is confirmed or corrected once your skin has been scanned in the room, and the figure on the day is the one that counts.
Can treatment start on the day I come in, and when are you open?
Often yes, where the reading supports it and your skin is in a state to be treated. The clinic is open 365 days a year, including Sundays and public holidays, so a first appointment does not have to wait for a working week. English-language consultation is available for every line on this page.
