Standard Microneedling (Manual or Pen-based) Cost in Korea
Standard Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that involves using fine needles to create micro-channels in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate collagen and elastin production, promoting firmer, smoother, and younger-looking skin. In Korea, microneedling is performed using both manual dermarollers and advanced pen-based devices (like Dermapen or MTS pens). Korean clinics are known for integrating customized ampoules, post-care solutions, and optional enhancements such as LED or PRP therapy for optimal results. Treatments are affordable, medically supervised, and often packaged in series for cumulative improvements.
