Acne Scar Devices in Hongdae: Nine Clinics by How Much They Name on Their Own Page
Seven device makers serve acne-scar treatment in Korea. Only two publish any kind of Korean clinic list, and neither could be opened for Hongdae. So this list runs on what each clinic itself writes down.
Before the list: what Acne Scar is
Acne-scar treatment in Korea usually combines a fractional or RF-microneedling device (Potenza, Secret RF, Scarlet S) with a resurfacing laser (Fraxel-type devices, sold under names such as “Super Fraxel”). Which device, how many sessions and how far apart matters more than the category name.
We checked seven device-maker websites for a Korean clinic list. Only two (Oligio and Rejuran) publish one at all, and both load their results through a script that could not be filtered to the Hongdae area from this research environment, so neither could confirm a Hongdae clinic for this guide.
In the absence of a usable manufacturer list, this shortlist runs on what each clinic's own website says: which device, what session plan, and whether a price is printed. Several clinics already in our Hongdae Thermage, Ultherapy and Botox shortlists are reused here because the treatment is different.
Everything below is from the clinic pages linked under each entry, read on October 14, 2026. No phone calls, no consultations, and promotional superlatives are reported as quoted wording, not repeated as fact.

No usable manufacturer clinic finder exists for acne-scar devices in Hongdae; ordering is by how specifically each clinic ties a device, session plan or price to acne-scar treatment. Compiled October 14, 2026 from each clinic's own website; this is not a ranking — the order reflects how much each clinic publishes.
The 9 clinics, one by one
Each entry shows only what the clinic itself publishes. “Not published” means the figure was not on the clinic’s website as text on the reading date — it does not mean the clinic has no price.

6.ARSKIN Clinic 아르스킨의원
164 Yanghwa-ro, 5F · Clinic page ↗
| Category | A “medical laser > acne & pore scars” menu category exists and links to this page; Potenza itself sits under a separate “lifting” category on the site, so it is not directly tied to the scar category in text. |
|---|---|
| Device names | The scar category's own device names render by script and could not be read as text. |
| Doctor / hours | Weekdays 10:30–20:30; Sat 10:30–16:30; closed Sun and holidays. Doctor not confirmed. |
A new candidate for this guide, with weaker evidence than the other eight.

161 Yanghwa-ro, 4F (K-Square), per our Hongdae Ultherapy shortlist · Clinic page ↗
| Category | A “skin > pores/acne scars” menu category exists; Oligio is listed under a separate “lifting” category, so it is not directly tied to the scar category in text. |

Also in our Hongdae Botox shortlist, for a different device; reused here because the treatment differs.
9.Reverse Clinic Hongdae 리버스클리닉 홍대점
Hongik University Station area, per our Hongdae Ultherapy shortlist · Clinic page ↗
| Published price | “Oligio, 300 shots — ₩279,000”. |
|---|---|
| As written | Oligio sits on the site's “lifting” menu rather than its separate “acne care” category, so on this page it is sold as a lifting treatment, not specifically for acne scars. |
| Doctor | Kim Min-su (김민수), representative director, per our Hongdae Ultherapy shortlist. |
Also in our Hongdae Ultherapy shortlist, for a different device; the price here is for lifting, not scar treatment specifically.
How to choose a Acne Scar clinic in Hongdae
Six further Mapo-gu clinics were checked for this guide and dropped: some had no acne-scar text at all on an otherwise-confirmed site, and others could not be matched to a working website within the Hongik University Station walking area.
FAQ
Which Hongdae clinics publish acne-scar device and session details?
As of October 14, 2026, Kate Clinic and Lovae Clinic both describe Potenza plus a Fraxel-type laser with a three-to-four-week session interval. Belami Renovo names a “Super Fraxel” device without an interval. The other six name a device on an adjacent menu or publish a price for a related (not scar-specific) treatment.
How much does acne-scar treatment cost in Hongdae?
Three figures were found on October 14, 2026: Belami Renovo's Super Fraxel at ₩200,000 per session, Nine Clinic's pore-specific Potenza event at ₩29,000, and Reverse Clinic's Oligio (sold as lifting, not scar treatment) at ₩279,000 for 300 shots. The other six clinics publish no figure for acne-scar treatment.
Is this a ranking?
No. It is the set of Hongdae clinics whose own websites discuss acne-scar-relevant devices or treatments, ordered by how specifically that text ties to scars. No manufacturer list could confirm or rank these clinics, and no clinic paid to appear.
- No usable manufacturer clinic finder for acne-scar devices in the Hongdae area (Classys, Lutronic, Wontech, Jeisys, Viol and Solta sites checked) — checked October 14, 2026. Of seven device brands used for acne scars (Secret RF, Infini, Oligio, Potenza, Scarlet S, Fraxel, Rejuran-adjacent devices), only Oligio (Wontech) and Rejuran (PharmaResearch) publish any kind of hospital list, and both load results by script with no way to filter to Hongdae directly from this research environment. The rest publish no clinic list at all. A clinic is included on the strength of its own website naming a device, a session plan or a price for acne scars. https://oligio.com/clinics
- Each clinic’s own website — the page linked under each entry above, read on October 14, 2026. Only text that appears on those pages is used; nothing was obtained by phone or consultation.
