With prices starting at ₩150,000 to ₩500,000 KRW ($120–$400 USD) per session, Korea attracts both locals and international patients seeking effective results, minimal downtime, and professional care. Top clinics, especially in Seoul’s Gangnam district, combine microneedling with cutting-edge technologies for optimal skin rejuvenation.

what is microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses fine, sterile needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production. This process helps improve the skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance.

How Microneedling Works

Controlled Micro-Injuries: The device, typically a dermaroller or microneedling pen, creates microscopic punctures in the skin’s surface.
Healing Response: The body responds by producing new collagen and elastin to repair the skin.
Enhanced Absorption: The micro-channels allow for better absorption of skincare products like serums or growth factors applied during the treatment.

Benefits of Microneedling

Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Improves acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks.
Minimizes pores for smoother skin.
Enhances skin tone by reducing hyperpigmentation and melasma.
Promotes a more plump and youthful complexion.
