It depends on the spot type — flat brown sun spots respond to picosecond laser from ₩169,000 (≈ $121) for a coin-size area, raised age spots to CO2 fractional from ₩49,000 (≈ $35) per spot, and red spots to 595nm V-Laser — all diagnosed and performed by co-directors at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong.
The recommended laser for spot removal is a diagnosis, not a menu pick, because "spots" covers at least 4 different structures. Flat brown spots — solar lentigines, sun spots, and freckles — hold melanin in the upper skin layers, and a picosecond laser shatters that pigment photoacoustically so your own immune cells clear it over 2 to 4 weeks. Raised, waxy age spots such as seborrheic keratoses sit above the skin surface and need physical ablation, which is CO2 fractional territory. Red spots — cherry angiomas, capillaries, post-inflammatory redness — are blood-vessel targets for the 595nm V-Laser. And melasma, which patients frequently mistake for sun spots, is treated with a completely different low-energy toning protocol because aggressive spot-removal settings can make it worse.
That 4-way split is why laser spot removal at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong starts with a co-director examining each lesion under magnification before any laser is recommended. Dr. Lee Wonjin or Dr. Lee Kangin personally performs both the diagnosis and the treatment — zero nurse delegation — and prices each pathway from the published sheet: a coin-size pigment area runs ₩169,000 (≈ $121) across 3 picosecond sessions, a raised age spot runs ₩49,000 (≈ $35), and full-face options like pico toning cover diffuse pigment rather than individual spots. Asian skin adds one more reason for physician-led settings: melanin-rich skin carries a documented rebound-pigmentation risk when spot removal is over-treated, so energy selection matters as much as platform selection.
