Acne Clinic Program prices at Dernia (2026)

The Acne Clinic Program is a doctor-led treatment for active breakouts. Each session combines medical extraction of clogged and inflamed spots, a calming peel matched to your skin, and LED light therapy to settle inflammation. At Dernia Clinic Myeongdong, the price depends on how many sessions you book and whether you add soothing care.

Option	What it covers	Price (KRW)
1 session	Face: extraction, peel, LED and mask	₩89,000
1 session with LDM	Face program plus soothing ultrasound	₩129,000
4-session course	Face, about ₩79,750 per session	₩319,000
8-session course	Face, about ₩74,900 per session	₩599,000

Prices are in Korean won (KRW), exclude 10% VAT, and are confirmed at your consultation. Back or chest acne can also be treated and is priced at consultation.

What's included

A consultation in English with a licensed medical doctor, who assesses the type and severity of your acne
Deep cleansing and careful medical extraction
A calming or exfoliating peel chosen for your skin, followed by LED therapy
A soothing mask and home-care advice; the full session takes 45–60 minutes

What affects the price

Number of sessions: weekly sessions work best, and courses lower the per-session cost.
Add-ons: LDM after the session helps calm the redness and dryness that acne treatments can cause.
Severity: mild breakouts may settle with a short course, while persistent or cystic acne often needs a longer plan and sometimes prescription treatment.
Area: treating the back or chest as well as the face adds to the total.

How many sessions you need and the cost of a full course

Most people have weekly sessions for four to eight weeks, then space them out as the skin settles. Active breakouts often calm within the first few sessions, while marks and texture take longer. A 4-session course costs ₩319,000 and an 8-session course ₩599,000, before VAT. On a one- or two-week trip, one or two sessions can calm a flare and give you a plan to continue at home. Our acne program results guide sets out a realistic timeline, and the Acne Reset Package combines the program with exosome therapy and LDM.

How to compare acne treatment prices between clinics

Acne care in Seoul ranges from simple extraction facials to doctor-led programs. Ask whether a doctor examines your skin, whether extraction, peel and LED are all included, and how many sessions are recommended. A cheap facial without a medical assessment may not address the cause of your breakouts. Our guide to shots, lines and cc explains how Korean clinics price treatments.

VAT and payment

All prices exclude 10% VAT, so a single ₩89,000 session is ₩97,900 at checkout. The VAT refund on cosmetic procedures for foreign patients ended on January 1, 2026, so plan on the VAT-inclusive amount. See payment and tax for how payment works at Dernia.

Alternatives at different budgets

Hydrafacial and Aqua Peel from ₩69,000 per session, for congested pores and maintenance once breakouts are under control
Excel V laser from ₩149,000 for the full face, to fade the red marks acne leaves behind
Agnes RF from ₩249,000 per area, which targets overactive oil glands behind persistent, recurring acne

How much does acne treatment cost in Seoul?

At Dernia, the Acne Clinic Program starts from ₩89,000 per session, before 10% VAT. With LDM it is ₩129,000, a 4-session course is ₩319,000 and an 8-session course is ₩599,000.

How often should I have acne sessions?

Weekly sessions work best at first, usually for four to eight weeks. As breakouts settle, sessions can be spaced every two to four weeks for maintenance.

Will extraction leave marks?

Medical extraction is done carefully to limit damage, and any redness usually fades within a day. Squeezing spots at home is far more likely to cause marks and scars.

Do I need medication as well?

Some acne, especially persistent or cystic acne, responds best to prescription treatment alongside clinic care. Your doctor will discuss whether that suits you and how it fits with your sessions.

Can I have the program while taking isotretinoin?

Tell your doctor first. Peels and some extraction techniques are adjusted or avoided while you take isotretinoin, because the skin is more fragile. Your doctor will tailor the session or suggest waiting.
