What affects the cost of pigmentation treatment?
The type of pigmentation matters: melasma is treated gently over many sessions, while some freckles and sun spots respond in fewer. Device, energy settings and whether a doctor performs the treatment also affect price. Very cheap unlimited toning may use lower, less effective settings.

Frequently asked questions
Can pigmentation be treated in one visit?
Some spots can be treated in one or two sessions, but melasma usually needs a series. If you are visiting briefly, Dr. Song can advise what is realistic within your stay.
Is this Live Young Clinic's official price?
No. These are typical price ranges seen at Gangnam clinics in 2026, gathered from public clinic price pages and price-comparison sites, so you can budget before you travel. Live Young Clinic confirms your exact fee after Dr. Song has assessed your skin and agreed a plan with you, before any treatment starts.
Is VAT included, and can foreigners get it refunded?
Most Gangnam clinics quote cosmetic treatments before the 10% VAT. The tourist VAT refund on cosmetic procedures has ended and, as of September 2026, an extension was still under review, so plan on paying the full VAT and check the current rule when you book.
