Mole and skin tag removal prices at Dernia (2026)

Mole and skin tag removal uses a precise CO2 laser to remove small benign growths layer by layer, including flat or raised moles, skin tags and seborrheic keratoses. Most small lesions are removed in a single short session. At Dernia Clinic Myeongdong, the price depends on the size and number of lesions.

Option	Size and type	Price (KRW)
Small lesion	Under 2 mm, per lesion	₩15,000
Medium lesion	2–4 mm, per lesion	₩30,000
Larger lesion	4–6 mm, per lesion	₩50,000
Small-lesion bundle	Up to 10 lesions under 2 mm	₩120,000

Prices are in Korean won (KRW), exclude 10% VAT, and are confirmed at your consultation. Lesions larger than 6 mm are quoted after your doctor examines them.

What's included

A consultation in English with a licensed medical doctor, who examines each lesion before anything is removed
Local numbing, with cream or a tiny injection, so you feel little during treatment
Laser removal, which takes about 10–30 minutes depending on how many lesions you have
Healing patches for the treated spots and written aftercare advice

Safety first: not every mole should be lasered

Laser removal is only for lesions your doctor is confident are benign. If a mole has changed in size, shape or color, has an irregular border, bleeds or itches, the doctor will not laser it and will advise a biopsy or referral instead. That is because laser removal destroys the tissue that would be needed for testing.

What affects the price

Size: larger lesions take more time and care.
Depth: raised or deeper moles need more passes than flat spots or skin tags.
Number: clearing several small lesions at once costs less per lesion.
Location: lesions near the eyes or lips need extra precision.

How many sessions you need and the total cost

Most small moles and skin tags need only one session, and removal is usually permanent. A deeper mole occasionally needs a second session if pigment remains or returns, usually after one to three months. Removing five small lesions costs ₩75,000 before VAT, or ₩120,000 for up to ten. Each treated spot heals under a small patch in about five to ten days, and a pink mark can last a few weeks. Strict sun protection while it heals lowers the chance of a darker mark; see our guide to aftercare after laser treatment. Plan removal early in your trip so your doctor can check healing before you leave.

How to compare mole removal prices between clinics

Clinics in Seoul price mole removal per lesion, by size or as a bundle. Ask how size is measured, whether numbing and patches are included, and whether a doctor checks each lesion first. Our guide to shots, lines and cc explains how Korean clinics quote treatments.

VAT and payment

All prices exclude 10% VAT, so a ₩15,000 lesion is ₩16,500 at checkout. The VAT refund on cosmetic procedures for foreign patients ended on January 1, 2026. See payment and tax for how payment works at Dernia.

Alternatives at different budgets

Pico toning from ₩69,000 per full-face session, for flat freckles and pigment that are not true moles
IPL photofacial from ₩89,000 for the full face, for scattered sun spots across the face
CO2 fractional laser from ₩199,000 for the full face, for acne scars and rough texture

Our guide to pigmentation types helps you tell moles from freckles and sun spots. Read more about moles and skin tags, browse all Seoul treatment prices, or book a consultation and your doctor will check each lesion and confirm the price.

How much does mole removal cost in Korea?

At Dernia, mole and skin tag removal starts from ₩15,000 per lesion under 2 mm, before 10% VAT. Lesions of 2–4 mm are ₩30,000, 4–6 mm are ₩50,000, and up to 10 small lesions cost ₩120,000.

Will mole removal leave a scar?

Small lesions usually heal with a faint mark that fades over weeks to months. Larger or deeper moles can leave a small flat or slightly indented mark. Tell your doctor if you tend to form raised or keloid scars.

Will the mole come back?

Most do not. Deeper moles occasionally show some pigment again, and a short second session usually clears it. Your doctor will tell you if this is likely for a particular mole.

Can any mole be removed with a laser?

No. Only moles your doctor is confident are benign are lasered. A mole that has changed, bleeds or looks unusual needs a biopsy or referral instead.

How do I look after the area afterwards?

Keep the healing patch on as advised, do not pick any scab, and use sunscreen once the skin has closed. Avoid saunas and swimming until it has healed. Most spots heal in five to ten days.
