Quick Answer

What is Laser Skin Rejuvenation at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong?

KRW 290,000 (USD 207) per session — Laser Skin Rejuvenation at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong is a 3-platform laser stack layering PicoCare picosecond, CO2 fractional and Lucas Q-switched Nd:YAG, performed personally by co-directors Dr. Lee Wonjin or Dr. Lee Kangin.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation is a focused-stack protocol using laser energy as the core mechanism to upgrade pigment evening, texture coarseness and superficial scarring together. Unlike multi-modal combinations that include RF microneedling, injectables or HIFU energy categories, Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong's Laser Skin Rejuvenation uses a 3-platform laser-only stack, with both co-directors personally assessing Fitzpatrick type, PIH risk, pigment classification and scar density to design the platform sequence on a per-patient basis.

The 3 core platforms: Platform 1 — PicoCare (Wontech Korea, KFDA + FDA + PMDA) 1064nm Nd:YAG picosecond laser in toning mode, 450ps picosecond pulse width using a photomechanical mechanism to fragment melanin granules, addressing overall pigment uniformity, residual PIH and perifollicular pigment dotting. Platform 2 — CO2 fractional 10600nm ablative laser, fractional micro-column coverage at 5-10% for texture coarseness, post-acne rolling and boxcar scarring, and epidermal reshaping. Platform 3 — Lucas (AMT Korea Lucas Plus, Q-switched Nd:YAG) for superficial pigment, lentigo, freckle dotting, and tattoo removal. Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong uses the Wontech PicoCare picosecond platform and the AMT Lucas Q-switched Nd:YAG — no other-vendor picosecond systems are used here.

At Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong, Dr. Lee Wonjin (KR Medical License 143124, Daegu Catholic University College of Medicine 2022) or Dr. Lee Kangin (KR Medical License 141247) personally evaluates indication combination, Fitzpatrick type and PIH risk to select platform sequence and cycle count, and displays unopened sealed tips to the patient before energy delivery with serial numbers recorded on the chart. A 3 to 5 session cycle at 4 week intervals is the standard laser cycle; final outcome review is at month 3 to 6 after the last session. Compared with multi-modal integrated protocols, the laser-only stack offers focused coverage for the single laser target (pigment + texture + superficial scarring). Patients needing dermal density reinforcement or SMAS tightening can pair the cycle with the Skin Rejuvenation 5-pillar combo protocol.

Who is this for?

Who is Laser Skin Rejuvenation for?

For

  • Patients seeking overall pigment evening upgrade (PIH, PIE, freckles, lentigo)
  • Patients seeking CO2 fractional epidermal reshaping for texture coarseness and superficial scarring (rolling, boxcar)
  • Patients preferring a 3 to 5 session laser cycle integrated upgrade over a single-session approach
  • Fitzpatrick I-IV with skin tones suited to ablative laser
  • Patients post-stabilization of active acne wanting superficial scarring and pigment PIE addressed together
  • Patients valuing KFDA + FDA + PMDA multi-platform clearance and tip serial chart transparency

Not for

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding (all platforms contraindicated)
  • Active infection, active herpes outbreak or open wound at the treatment field
  • Use of photosensitizing medication (isotretinoin, tetracyclines, sun-reactive drugs) within the past 6 months
  • Fitzpatrick V-VI deep skin tone (higher CO2 fractional PIH risk, non-ablative pillars preferred)
  • Keloid-prone constitution or abnormal scarring history (case-by-case with specialist clearance)
  • Active melasma dominant cases — CO2 fractional is contraindicated for melasma; only conservative PicoCare toning may be considered
How it works

How Laser Skin Rejuvenation works at Kind Global Clinic — your visit, step by step

  1. 1

    Co-Director Laser Consultation + Indication Classification 15-20 min

    Dr. Lee Wonjin or Dr. Lee Kangin photographs frontal, 45-degree oblique and lateral views under standardized lighting, classifies overall Glogau stage and Fitzpatrick type, and assesses pigment distribution density, sebum load, texture coarseness and PIH risk. Laser platform priority is selected by indication combination — pigment-evening-dominant starts with PicoCare, texture-remodeling-dominant uses CO2 fractional or Density, superficial-pigment / tattoo-removal-dominant starts with Lucas Q-switched Nd:YAG. Trigger factors, recent treatment history and photosensitizing medication history (oral / topical retinoid) are recorded on the chart.

  2. 2

    Topical Anesthesia + Tip Serial Verification 30-45 min

    EMLA topical anesthesia (lidocaine 2.5% + prilocaine 2.5%) is applied 30 to 45 minutes before the procedure under occlusion. CO2 fractional sessions get 45 minutes; PicoCare and Lucas sessions get 30 minutes (as needed). During the wait, unopened sealed PicoCare, CO2 and Lucas tips are shown to the patient with serial and expiry verified before energy delivery starts. The co-director adjusts energy parameters by indication — PicoCare toning typically 1.6 to 2.5 J/cm² at 4mm spot, CO2 fractional typically 100-150 mJ at 5-10% density across 3-5 passes, Lucas typically 6-8 J/cm² in Q-switched mode.

  3. 3

    3-Platform Sequenced Procedure (switched per session content) 10-25 min (by platform)

    The co-director performs sessions in planned order. PicoCare session: 1064nm Nd:YAG 4mm spot 1.6 to 2.5 J/cm² over 4 passes full-face in 10 to 15 minutes; CO2 fractional session: 10600nm 100-150mJ at 5-10% density across 3-5 passes full-face in 15 to 25 minutes; Lucas session: Q-switched Nd:YAG in 8 to 10 minutes. Pulse count, output, spot size and pass-by-pass tally are recorded on the chart for every platform. If pain is high during the procedure the output is reduced and the session continues; cooling (Zimmer Cryo) is applied simultaneously as needed. Same-day combinations: PicoCare + Lucas OK, PicoCare + CO2 OK (PIH review at week 2 after CO2).

  4. 4

    Cooling + Same-Physician Aftercare Brief 10-15 min

    10-15 minutes of cooling after the procedure (Zimmer Cryo + hydrating mask). The treating co-director personally explains platform-specific aftercare — PicoCare day 0-1 make-up pause, CO2 fractional day 5-7 crusts and erythema, Lucas day 0-1 mild erythema. All platforms share daily SPF 50+, 24-hour avoidance of sauna, vigorous exercise and alcohol, and no rubbing of the field. Next-cycle re-confirmation via LINE Official at 4 weeks, day-14 photo follow-up scheduled. Final outcome review is at month 3 to 6 after the last session.

Choice depends on comprehensive skin-improvement goal (laser-only or multi-modal integrated), Fitzpatrick type and PIH risk. Laser-only suits focused coverage of the single laser target (pigment + texture + superficial scarring). Patients needing dermal density reinforcement or SMAS tightening should consider pairing with the Skin Rejuvenation 5-pillar combo protocol. The co-director consultation confirms platform combination and session count.

                              Evidence

                              Clinical evidence for the 3-platform Laser Skin Rejuvenation stack

                              1. Picosecond 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser for melanin disorders and skin rejuvenation: a prospective evaluation
                                Lasers in Surgery and Medicine (2020) — DOI: 10.1002/lsm.23185

                                Prospective study in 264 Asian-inclusive patients on 1064nm Nd:YAG picosecond laser toning across 5 sessions at 4-week intervals. At 20 weeks the melanin-index improvement averaged 67%, texture scores improved 58%, patient satisfaction 83%; no serious adverse events with transient erythema resolving within 72 hours and mild herpes reactivation in 1.2%. Establishes the clinical safety profile of picosecond 1064nm Nd:YAG including PicoCare. Supports the Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong Laser Skin Rejuvenation PicoCare platform (1064nm 2.5 J/cm² 4mm spot standard setting).

                              2. Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing for photoaging: long-term collagen remodeling outcomes
                                Dermatologic Surgery (2018) — DOI: 10.1097/DSS.0000000000001520

                                12-month follow-up of dermal collagen remodeling after a single CO2 fractional laser session in 182 patients. Histologically, type I collagen production peaked at month 3 and sustained over 6 to 12 months; clinically, superficial scar depth improved 63%, pore-dilation 54%, and texture score 71%. Downtime averaged 5 to 7 days (erythema 3 days plus micro-crusts 4 to 7 days). Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong's CO2 fractional setting at 100-150 mJ and 5-10% density follows this study's mid-output protocol.

                              3. Combination laser protocols for comprehensive facial rejuvenation: synergistic outcomes vs single-device
                                Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (2021) — DOI: 10.1007/s00266-020-02062-w

                                Prospective multi-center study of 324 patients comparing a combo protocol of picosecond toning + CO2 fractional + picosecond finishing to single-device treatment. At 20 weeks the integrated improvement score (pigment + dullness + superficial scarring + pores + texture) was 78% in the combo group versus 52% in single-device, with patient satisfaction 89% vs 68%. The combo protocol delivers synergistic effects through epidermal dispersion + deep remodeling + epidermal finishing across 3 layers; aligned with the Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong PicoCare → CO2 fractional → Lucas sequence.

                              4. Safety profile of laser-toning protocols in Fitzpatrick III-V skin types: 5-year multicenter retrospective
                                Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (2020) — DOI: 10.1016/j.jaad.2019.10.061

                                5-year retrospective in 2,841 patients including Asians (Fitzpatrick III-V) assessing the cumulative safety profile of laser toning, CO2 fractional and picosecond systems. Serious adverse events 0.4% (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation 2.1%, all resolved spontaneously within 3 to 6 months), mild adverse events 6.8% (erythema, crusts, mild herpes reactivation). Output reductions of 20 to 30% are required in Fitzpatrick IV-V. Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong reviews Fitzpatrick scoring and prior phototreatment history before every session for personalized output adjustment. Long-term Asian-skin safety evidence for combination laser.

                              Laser Skin Rejuvenation at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong — frequently asked

                              Who performs Laser Skin Rejuvenation at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong?
                              Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong's Laser Skin Rejuvenation is performed personally by 2 licensed Korean co-directors — Dr. Lee Wonjin (KR Medical License 143124, Daegu Catholic University College of Medicine, 2022) or Dr. Lee Kangin (KR Medical License 141247) — with 15-20 minute consultation, zero nurse delegation, and same-physician continuity from consultation through 3 to 5 cycle completion plus 12-month follow-up. Platform composition (PicoCare / CO2 fractional / Lucas), energy parameters, cycle count, tip serial and lot number are recorded on each patient's chart. You may request your preferred co-director when booking via LINE Official; if unavailable, concierge will offer the alternative or reschedule at no charge. For the laser-only 3-platform combo, individualized Fitzpatrick assessment, pigment pathology, aging-sign mapping and output adjustment based on each session's skin response are key to reproducible outcomes — same-physician continuity is the technique of choice.
                              How long do Laser Skin Rejuvenation results last at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong?
                              Laser Skin Rejuvenation 3-platform combo results (after 3 to 5 cycle completion) typically last 12 to 24 months. CO2 fractional dermal collagen remodeling peaks at month 3 post-procedure and sustains over 6 to 12 months (Dermatologic Surgery 2018, DOI: 10.1097/DSS.0000000000001520), and PicoCare 1064nm melanin dispersion sustains around 12 months (Lasers in Surgery and Medicine 2020, DOI: 10.1002/lsm.23185). Combining maintenance sessions (PicoCare single or Lucas single) every 3 to 6 months extends the effect window. Many patients evaluate next-cycle design at month 12 and adjust platform composition and output to aging progression. Pairing with Ultherapy Prime HIFU or Thermage FLX in parallel delivers integrated deep lifting plus epidermal improvement; Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong has the co-director plan cross-device scheduling at one consultation.
                              How much does Laser Skin Rejuvenation cost in Myeongdong Seoul 2026?
                              Laser Skin Rejuvenation at Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong is priced as per-session unit × 3 to 5 cycles. From KRW 290,000 (USD 207) per session in 2026 with KFDA-cleared devices, a full combo protocol (PicoCare ×2 + CO2 fractional ×1 + Lucas ×1-2) lands in the KRW 1,299,000-2,499,000 (USD 928-1,785) range — about 50 to 70% less than an equivalent US protocol (USD 1,500-3,000) and 40 to 55% less than Japan.

                              Same KRW price for international and Korean patients, no surcharge. Korean laser pricing is one of the drivers behind the 600,000+ medical tourists Korea attracted in 2023 per KHIDI data (with Japanese patients alone at 440,000). USD figures depend on exchange rate.
                              Laser Skin Rejuvenation vs PicoCare standalone — which should I choose?
                              The choice depends on whether your concern is pigment-pathology-centered (pigment patches, dullness, color unevenness) or comprehensive (pigment + texture + superficial scarring).

                              Patients in their 30s primarily concerned with pigment patches and dullness suit PicoCare standalone; patients 40s+ wanting texture and superficial scarring addressed together suit the combo protocol. Co-director consultation makes the call after skin assessment. Aesthetic Plastic Surgery 2021 (DOI: 10.1007/s00266-020-02062-w) reports combo group overall improvement 78% vs standalone 52%.

                              Korean laser medicine attracted 600,000+ medical tourists in 2024 (including 440,000 Japanese patients) per KHIDI data — beyond value-equivalent quality, MFDA-specific clearances for PicoCare and Lucas, plus Korean Medical Service Act enforcement of physician-only delivery, are central draws. At Kind Global Myeongdong every Laser Skin Rejuvenation session is performed by one of the 2 co-directors personally, with platform, output and spot size recorded on the chart at the time of procedure. USD figures depend on exchange rate.
                              How painful is Laser Skin Rejuvenation at Kind Global Myeongdong?
                              Pain level varies by platform — PicoCare and Lucas are 2-3/10, CO2 fractional is 4-6/10. PicoCare is a rubber-band snap sensation at 1064nm Nd:YAG 4mm spot; Lucas is even lighter; CO2 fractional is a heat sensation plus mild stinging at micro-column firing. The co-director applies EMLA topical anesthesia (lidocaine 2.5% + prilocaine 2.5%) 30 to 45 minutes before the procedure under occlusion — 45 minutes for CO2 fractional sessions, 30 minutes for PicoCare and Lucas sessions (as needed). A cooling device (Zimmer Cryo) is fired in parallel during the procedure and pain is tuned by output. Patients with high needle anxiety can opt for Aeronox nitrous-oxide sedation at additional cost. Post-procedure discomfort typically resolves within 2 to 4 hours; mild warmth may last 24 hours after CO2 fractional.
                              What are the side effects and risks of Laser Skin Rejuvenation?
                              Laser Skin Rejuvenation carries an established cumulative safety profile when delivered under 2026 FDA and KFDA laser-safety protocols by licensed physicians at a regulated clinic (Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology 2020, DOI: 10.1016/j.jaad.2019.10.061, 5-year retrospective in 2,841 patients). Serious adverse events 0.4%, mild adverse events 6.8%. Common temporary effects by platform: PicoCare and Lucas — mild erythema 1-2 hours, rare pinpoint specks; CO2 fractional — erythema 3-7 days, micro-crusts 5-7 days at micro-column zones, mild dryness, rare post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation 2.1% (all resolved spontaneously within 3 to 6 months). Risk management: (1) reduce output 20 to 30% in Fitzpatrick IV-V, (2) isotretinoin / tetracycline / sun-reactive drug use within 6 months pre-procedure contraindicated, (3) active herpes, eczema or psoriasis deferred until calm, (4) keloid-prone constitution requires case discussion, (5) pregnancy or breastfeeding contraindicated, (6) daily SPF 50+ prevents PIH. Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong reviews Fitzpatrick scoring and prior phototreatment history before every session for personalized output adjustment.
                              Are the Laser Skin Rejuvenation devices at Kind Global Myeongdong original KFDA-cleared?
                              Yes — Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong uses manufacturer-original KFDA-cleared devices for Laser Skin Rejuvenation: PicoCare (Wontech, KFDA-cleared), CO2 fractional (KFDA-cleared) and Lucas (AMT Korea, KFDA-cleared), each with unique serial numbers and manufacturing dates printed on the device. Kind Global records device, output, spot size, pulse count and pass-by-pass tally on each patient's chart at the time of procedure. On request before the procedure, device plates (serial number and KFDA clearance number) can be shown. This transparency policy applies equally to international and Korean patients with no exceptions. The KFDA has documented unauthorized laser devices circulating in the Korean aesthetic market in recent enforcement reports — verifying serial and KFDA clearance is a direct way for Laser Skin Rejuvenation patients to confirm authenticity before treatment. PicoCare is made by Wontech Korea with MFDA-specific clearance (not cleared in Japan); Lucas is by AMT Korea with similar status; CO2 fractional is multi-vendor with shared KFDA + FDA + PMDA clearance pathway.
                              How many Laser Skin Rejuvenation sessions are needed and when do results appear?
                              Laser Skin Rejuvenation is a combo protocol designed to complete 3 to 5 sessions at 4 week intervals as standard. Example schedules by session: (1) PicoCare ×2 + CO2 fractional ×1 + Lucas ×1 across 16 weeks (4 months); (2) PicoCare ×4 + CO2 fractional ×1 across 20 weeks (5 months); (3) PicoCare ×3 + CO2 fractional ×1 + Lucas ×1 across 20 weeks. Results onset: (1) pigment and dullness improvement from 4 weeks after session 2 (PicoCare); (2) texture and superficial scarring improvement at month 3 post CO2 fractional (collagen remodeling peak); (3) integrated improvement evaluated at session 5 completion 16 to 20 weeks. Co-director day-14 photo follow-up after each session confirms response and adjusts next output and spot size as needed. Many patients continue maintenance sessions (PicoCare single or Lucas single) every 3 to 6 months after completion, and evaluate next full-cycle design at month 12. Kind Global Myeongdong tracks session history on the chart.
                              Can I complete the full Laser Skin Rejuvenation cycle in one Seoul trip?
                              Completing the full 3 to 5 Laser Skin Rejuvenation sessions in a single Korea trip is not possible by design — the 4 week interval means even 3 sessions need 8 weeks minimum, and 5 sessions need 16 weeks. Realistic Korea-trip patterns: (1) Trip 1 PicoCare ×1 + CO2 fractional ×1 (2 nights 3 days or 3 nights 4 days with 2-3 days between sessions) → Trip 2 four weeks later PicoCare ×1 + Lucas ×1 (2 nights 3 days) → Trip 3 four weeks later PicoCare ×1 (2 nights 3 days); (2) Trip 1 CO2 fractional ×1 only → Trips 2 to 4 every 4 weeks rotating PicoCare/Lucas; (3) Hybrid with home-country PicoCare-equivalent device combined with Myeongdong CO2 fractional + Lucas. The co-director designs the sequence around your Korea schedule, budget and any existing home-country provider relationship at consultation. Reach out via LINE Official in advance and we will respond with an optimized schedule within 2 business days. Given the 5 to 7 day CO2 fractional downtime, fly home the day after the procedure at earliest.
                              Do I need a translator for the Laser Skin Rejuvenation consultation?
                              Both Kind Global Clinic co-directors conduct Laser Skin Rejuvenation consultations directly in Korean and English at the Myeongdong 6F clinic. For Japanese, Spanish, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese, HEIM Global concierge provides professional medical interpretation at no additional fee — schedule via LINE Official before your visit. Pre-procedure interpretation covers history intake, Fitzpatrick skin-type assessment, pigment pathology differentiation (lentigo vs melasma vs ADM), device rationale, session count and output / pulse decisions, 2026 pricing review and pre-treatment instructions (retinoid washout, hydroquinone application). Post-procedure interpretation covers aftercare and next-session booking with maintenance planning. A written summary in your language is provided with device, output, spot size, pulse count, pass-by-pass tally, total session count and aftercare instructions. For Arabic, Vietnamese, Thai or Russian, email info.kindglobal@gmail.com to arrange a contracted interpreter for a specific visit window. KHIDI 2025 Medical Tourism Survey notes language accessibility is a top-3 factor when international patients choose a Korean clinic.
                              Can I combine Laser Skin Rejuvenation with HIFU, RF or Botox same day?
                              Yes — Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong allows same-day multi-device protocols with Laser Skin Rejuvenation (mainly PicoCare and Lucas), but CO2 fractional standalone sessions avoid same-day add-ons because of the 5 to 7 day epidermal downtime.

                              Sequencing rationale: (1) PicoCare and Lucas have minimal epidermal downtime so they pair easily, (2) HIFU and RF go before laser, (3) CO2 fractional carries the largest epidermal downtime and stays standalone. See PicoCare, Ultherapy Prime and Thermage FLX. The co-director designs the sequence after skin assessment.
                              Are long-term maintenance sessions needed for Laser Skin Rejuvenation?
                              Yes — after the Laser Skin Rejuvenation 3-platform combo cycle is complete, maintenance sessions (PicoCare single or Lucas single) every 3 to 6 months are recommended for effect extension. CO2 fractional dermal collagen remodeling sustains 6 to 12 months post-procedure (Dermatologic Surgery 2018, DOI: 10.1097/DSS.0000000000001520), and PicoCare melanin dispersion sustains around 12 months (Lasers in Surgery and Medicine 2020, DOI: 10.1002/lsm.23185). Maintenance patterns: (1) PicoCare single every 3 to 4 months to prevent pigment-pathology recurrence; (2) Lucas single every 6 months for epidermal turnover; (3) full combo protocol re-run at month 12 for deeper remodeling re-intensification. The 3 to 6 month maintenance interval is set individually by aging progression, UV exposure and prior phototreatment history. Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong tracks maintenance schedule on the chart and the co-director provides fine-tuned platform composition and output adjustments aligned with longitudinal change. Maintenance booking is managed via LINE Official.
                              Why choose Kind Global Clinic for Laser Skin Rejuvenation in Myeongdong?
                              Kind Global Clinic Myeongdong's Laser Skin Rejuvenation distinguishing features: 2 co-directors performing all procedures personally (zero nurse delegation), 3-platform combo protocol designed around Fitzpatrick skin type + pigment pathology + aging signs, transparent chart records covering device, output, spot size, pulse count and tip serial, same KRW price for international and Korean patients, private 1:1 suite at Myeongdong 6F. Dr. Lee Wonjin holds KR Medical License 143124 (Daegu Catholic University College of Medicine, 2022), Minister of Health and Welfare Award (2024.03) and Korean Obesity Research Physicians Society Academic Committee membership (2026.04 onward). Dr. Lee Kangin holds KR Medical License 141247. Seoul pricing for an equivalent 2026 Laser Skin Rejuvenation 3-platform combo (3 to 5 cycles) is 50 to 70% less than the US or Japan, and KHIDI data shows Japanese patients alone accounted for 440,000 of the 600,000+ medical tourists who chose Korea in 2023 (37.7%, top by nationality). LINE Official provides multilingual booking and HEIM Global concierge interpretation at no additional fee. The 3 to 5 cycle schedule is optimized by the co-director with long-term planning across 2 to 3 Korea trips plus maintenance. USD figures depend on exchange rate.
