Pricing & what's included

Juvelook Skin + Device Acne Scar Program

From KRW 165,000

≈ US$120

Final price confirmed at consultation

  • Starting option: Juvelook Skin 1cc + subcision. Device combinations are separate options selected after assessment.

Subcision for Acne Scars

KRW 380,000

≈ US$280

Final price confirmed at consultation

  • Standalone subcision for one acne-scar area, priced separately from the combined program package rate. Confirm the scope when comparing these options.

VAT at 10% is charged separately on every treatment and program.

  • At consultation the physician looks at your scars under side lighting, sorts them by type and checks whether acne is still active. Scar work usually waits until breakouts are under control.
  • The starting program is Juvelook Skin 1cc with subcision. Subcision uses a needle under the skin to release the bands that pull rolling scars down. Fractional laser, microneedling RF and focal TCA are separate options, priced separately, and added only if your scars call for them.
  • Numbing is applied first. Subcision is done through small needle entry points, so bruising and swelling over the treated scars are expected for several days. How long they last varies by person.
  • Tell the physician about cold sores, keloid scarring, isotretinoin in recent months, or an active skin infection. Any of these can mean a method is postponed or left out.

Final treatment and price are confirmed after assessment, before treatment begins.

Treatment background

Why scar revision is a plan, not one device

Acne scars come in different shapes. Icepick scars are narrow and deep. Boxcar scars have sharp edges and a flat floor. Rolling scars are wide and soft, pulled down by bands of tissue underneath. Each shape responds to a different method.

So the physician examines the scars first, usually under light from the side, and then decides which methods to use and in what order. Most faces have more than one type.

Scar revision makes scars less noticeable in steps. It rarely removes them completely, and we say so at the start.

Methods the physician can combine

Subcision

A needle is passed under a rolling scar to release the bands pulling it down.

Fractional laser

Resurfaces the skin in small columns. Used mainly for boxcar and shallow scars.

Microneedling RF

Delivers heat below the surface through fine needles, with the aim of stimulating collagen.

Focal TCA

A strong acid applied point by point into deep icepick scars.

Further treatment details

Who it is for

  • Rolling, boxcar or icepick scars from past acne.
  • Acne that is now under control. Active breakouts are treated first.
  • Patients who can come back for more than one session, or continue care at home.
  • Patients who can allow some recovery time between sessions.
  • Not suitable during an active skin infection, or soon after isotretinoin for some methods. The physician will check.

Aftercare and risks

  • Recovery depends on the methods used. Redness, swelling, bruising after subcision, or peeling can last from a couple of days to about a week, and varies by person.
  • Sun protection matters. Treated skin can darken if it is exposed to strong sun too early.
  • Improvement builds across the plan. Scars are softened, not erased.
  • Tell the physician about cold sores or keloid scarring before treatment.
  • Active infection or recent isotretinoin can mean some methods are postponed.

Physician's FAQ

Can acne scars be removed completely?

No. Treatment makes scars less noticeable, sometimes clearly so, but it rarely removes them entirely. How much change is realistic depends on the scar types and your skin, and the physician tells you at consultation.

Does it hurt?

Numbing is used for each method. Subcision feels like pressure and pulling, and laser or microneedling RF feels hot and prickly. Tell the physician if it is too much; the session can be paced.

I am only in Seoul for a short trip. Can I still start?

Yes. A first session can be done during a visit. The physician can choose methods with less recovery time for that session and explain how to continue on a return visit. Leave a few days between treatment and your flight in case of bruising or swelling, and confirm the buffer at consultation.

What should I send on WhatsApp before booking?

Photos of the scarred areas in daylight, front and from each side, without makeup. Tell us whether you still get breakouts, any acne medication you take, and your dates in Seoul. We use this to suggest a likely first step. The physician makes the plan in person.

Treatment FAQ

Does the starting price cover every scar treatment?

No. KRW 165,000 is Juvelook Skin 1cc with subcision. Device treatments are separate options, and standalone subcision for one scar area is KRW 380,000. The physician tells you which of these your scars need after assessing them.

How many sessions will I need?

Usually several, spaced weeks apart so the skin can heal in between. The number depends on your scar types and how they respond, and the physician sets it at consultation. Scars become less noticeable in steps; they are not erased.
