Pico fractional prices at Dernia (2026)

Pico fractional uses a picosecond laser with a fractional handpiece that concentrates energy into tiny points. These create microscopic zones of remodeling beneath the surface while leaving the outer skin largely intact. Over the following weeks, new collagen helps refine pores, soften fine lines and smooth shallow acne scars. At Dernia Clinic Myeongdong, the price depends on the number of sessions and whether toning is added.

Option What it covers Price (KRW)
1 session Full face ₩149,000
1 session with pico toning Full face texture and tone ₩199,000
3-session course Full face, about ₩133,000 per session ₩399,000
5-session course Full face, about ₩125,800 per session ₩629,000

Prices are in Korean won (KRW), exclude 10% VAT, and are confirmed at your consultation. Numbing cream is included, because fractional treatment is more intense than toning.

What's included

  • A consultation in English with a licensed medical doctor, who assesses your scars, pores and skin type
  • Numbing cream for about 30 minutes
  • Full-face treatment, which takes 20–30 minutes
  • Cooling and a soothing mask afterwards, plus aftercare advice for the redness

What affects the price

  • Number of sessions: scars and pores improve step by step, so courses cost less per session.
  • Combining with toning: adding pico toning in the same visit treats uneven tone along with texture.
  • Scar type: shallow rolling and boxcar scars respond better than deep ice-pick scars, which may need other methods. Our guide to building an acne scar treatment plan explains how doctors combine treatments.
  • Skin type: darker or sensitive skin may be treated more gently over more sessions.

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

Most people need three to five sessions, spaced about four weeks apart. Improvement builds gradually as collagen remodels, so the clearest change usually shows a few months after the last session. A 3-session course costs ₩399,000 and a 5-session course ₩629,000, before VAT. Each session leaves one to three days of redness, which most people can cover with makeup once their doctor says it is fine. One session during a single trip can make a modest difference, but a course is where you see real change. Read our medical team's pico fractional review to see who benefits most.

How to compare pico fractional prices between clinics

Clinics may quote pico fractional per session, per course or by shot count, and some bundle it with toning or boosters. Ask which device and handpiece are used, whether numbing is included and whether the price covers the full face. Our guide to shots, lines and cc explains how Korean clinics quote laser treatments.

VAT and payment

All prices exclude 10% VAT, so a ₩149,000 session is ₩163,900 at checkout. The VAT refund on cosmetic procedures for foreign patients ended on January 1, 2026, so there is no refund to claim when you fly home. See payment and tax for how payment works at Dernia.
