Microneedling with Vitamin C or Kojic Acid Cost in Korea

Microneedling with Vitamin C or Kojic Acid Cost in Korea

Microneedling combined with Vitamin C or Kojic Acid is a popular skin treatment in Korea designed to brighten the complexion, reduce pigmentation, and improve overall skin tone. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that stimulates collagen synthesis and protects against free radical damage, while Kojic Acid inhibits melanin production to lighten dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Korean clinics often perform microneedling to create micro-channels that enhance the absorption of these potent brightening agents, leading to more radiant and even-toned skin.
