Hydrafacial and Aqua Peel prices at Dernia (2026)

Hydrafacial and Aqua Peel are medical-grade facials that cleanse, gently exfoliate, extract and hydrate the skin in one session, using water-based solutions and gentle suction instead of scrubs. Skin looks clearer and more radiant straight away, with no downtime. At Dernia Clinic Myeongdong, the price depends on the version you choose and any add-ons.

Prices are in Korean won (KRW), exclude 10% VAT, and are confirmed at your consultation. Your doctor can suggest the version that suits your skin.

What's included

A brief skin check in English with a licensed medical doctor before your first session
Cleansing and gentle exfoliation with water-based solutions
Suction extraction of congested pores and blackheads
Hydrating serum and a calming finish; the session takes 30–45 minutes

What affects the price

Version: Aqua Peel covers the essentials, while a Hydrafacial with booster adds a targeted serum for brightening, hydration or congestion.
Add-ons: LDM ultrasound after the facial adds extra soothing and hydration.
Number of sessions: a 5-session course lowers the cost to about ₩59,800 per session.
Combining treatments: a facial is a common first step before laser or boosters on the same day, which are priced separately.

How often to have it and the cost over time

The glow from a single session usually lasts one to two weeks. For ongoing clarity, many people have a session every two to four weeks, so a 5-session Aqua Peel course at ₩299,000 before VAT covers roughly two to five months. For visitors, it is one of the easiest treatments to fit into a trip: there is no downtime, makeup can usually go on the same day, and it suits the day before a flight or an event. Our medical team's Hydrafacial review explains what it can and cannot do, and our guide to no-downtime treatments in Seoul suggests what to pair it with.

How to compare Hydrafacial prices between clinics

In Seoul, the names Hydrafacial and Aqua Peel are sometimes used for different devices and steps. Ask which device is used, which steps are included (cleansing, exfoliation, extraction and serum), how long the session lasts and whether boosters cost extra. Our guide to shots, lines and cc explains how Korean clinics quote treatments.

VAT and payment

All prices exclude 10% VAT, so a ₩69,000 Aqua Peel is ₩75,900 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.

What is the difference between Hydrafacial and Aqua Peel?

Both are water-based facials that cleanse, exfoliate, extract and hydrate. Hydrafacial is a branded system, while Aqua Peel is the name many Korean clinics use for similar treatments. The main differences are the device and the serums used.

Is there any downtime after a Hydrafacial?

No. Some people have slight pinkness that fades within an hour. You can usually wear makeup the same day and carry on with your plans.

Is it suitable for acne-prone or sensitive skin?

Usually, yes, with gentle settings. If you have many inflamed spots, the Acne Clinic Program may be a better first step. Your doctor will advise.

Who should avoid a Hydrafacial?

Wait if you have an active skin infection, a cold sore, a fresh sunburn or very irritated skin. Tell your doctor if you have used isotretinoin recently so settings can be adjusted.
