How Much Does Laser scar removal Cost in Republic of Korea?

The cost of laser scar removal in South Korea typically ranges from $100 to $600. Prices vary depending on the type of laser used (such as fractional CO2 or erbium), the number and size of scars, and the clinic’s reputation. In the United States, the average cost is $3,000 (per ASDS). Laser scar removal in South Korea is about 90% less than in the U.S.

Korean clinics usually include a consultation, the laser procedure, topical anesthesia, and follow-up visits in the quoted price. In the U.S., anesthesia, aftercare creams, and additional sessions are often billed separately. Always confirm which services and how many sessions are included at your chosen clinic.
