Mole removal cost

Face mole removal cost at Rewind: counted by the mole, never banded by size

The short answer

At Rewind Plastic Surgery in Apgujeong, Seoul, a facial mole is charged at one flat rate whether the doctor classes it as small, medium or large. A second line on the same rate sheet covers the whole face for a single fixed figure. Both appear in the pricing section below, and VAT is added on top of each.

The count that decides your bill is agreed with the doctor after he has examined every lesion, so the number you bring in may differ from the number you pay for.

Patients researching from abroad tend to ask two things first: how much per mole, and whether a large one costs more. Here the second answer is no. The sheet groups small, medium and large under a single line, which removes any argument at the counter about whether a mole on the jaw counts as medium or large. What moves the total is how many lesions the doctor agrees to treat.

That count is not settled by your list alone. Each mark is examined first, because a laser destroys the tissue it treats and nothing is left to send for analysis afterwards. A lesion that looks changed, bleeds, itches or has an irregular edge is never handled as a cosmetic job at any price; it is set aside and you are told why. The low figure per mole pays for a laser pass on a lesion that has already cleared that examination.

Scope

What the rate covers

What the mole removal price covers, and what sits outside it

A line on a rate sheet is only useful once you know its edges. These are the four things patients most often assume about the figure, sorted by what the sheet actually says.

group 01
Every facial mole the doctor agrees to treat
Each one counts once at the per-mole rate. Size is not a pricing band here: small, medium and large share one line and one figure.
group 02
Numbing
Rewind's rate sheet states that its listed prices already include the anaesthetic cost. What is used on your lesions, and how, is explained at the visit.
group 03
VAT
Not included in the printed figure. Tax is charged on top at settlement, so plan for the listed rate plus VAT.
group 04
A lesion held back after examination
It is left out of the count agreed for treatment. Whatever it needs next is arranged separately from this rate, and the doctor explains his reasoning.

Moles below the jaw do not have their own line on the sheet. A lesion on the neck, chest or back is looked at in person and quoted once the doctor has seen it.

Quote

How the figure is reached

How a mole removal quote is built, step by step

Four stages sit between your first message and the amount you pay. Only one of them involves a laser.

01Listing

Your own list, sent ahead with photographs

Many visitors send a rough count and a few phone photos when they book. That helps reception estimate, but it cannot fix a price: photographs flatten raised lesions, miss small ones and show nothing about how a mark has changed over the years.

02Examination

The doctor goes through each lesion in good light

Make-up comes off and every mark is checked for size, border, colour and texture, and you are asked whether anything has grown, bled or itched. Marks that suit a pigment laser are separated out, and anything that calls for a medical assessment is set aside.

03Count

The agreed number, and the choice between two lines

With the final count known, the per-mole total is simple multiplication. To compare it with the whole-face line, divide the whole-face figure by the per-mole figure: the result is the count at which both cost the same, and above it the single rate is lower.

04Settlement

VAT added, and the treated sites written down

Tax goes on top of whichever line applies. Ask for the treated points to be recorded by site, because a written list turns any later question about a returning lesion into a matter of record.

Judgement

Why a low mole removal price still comes with a full examination at Rewind

A treatment billed per lesion invites speed. Three habits keep it careful here.

01Count

Fewer treated moles can be the right answer

If four of your ten marks are freckling that a toning laser handles better, you are told so and your count drops. Under per-mole pricing that advice lowers the bill, which is a fair test of whether it is being given.

02Surgeon

The person pricing a lesion is the person treating it

Dr. Jonghwan Choi, a board-certified plastic surgeon, examines, counts and treats. No separate salesperson sets a figure that the treating doctor is then expected to meet.

03Terms

Retouch terms are settled at the start

Some moles, deep-rooted ones especially, come back and need a second pass. Rewind does not publish a fixed retouch policy, so the terms for your lesions are agreed at the first visit and noted down.

The sequence on the day is short. Make-up comes off on arrival, the doctor examines and marks, you are shown the count and the two ways it can be charged, and you choose. Treatment follows on the agreed lesions, each treated point is dressed, and the bill is settled with VAT added. Rewind is on the fourth and fifth floors of the Richro Building in Apgujeong, Gangnam, and sees patients by appointment on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:00 to 19:00 and on Saturday from 10:00 to 16:00, with Thursday and Sunday closed.

Treated sites recorded on request

If you are comparing quotes from home, compare like with like. A per-mole figure means little until you know whether it is banded by size, whether numbing is extra, whether tax is included and what happens when a mole returns. Those four questions turn two numbers from two websites into something you can actually weigh. How the treatment itself is carried out is covered on the main mole removal page.

Rates

Pricing

Mole removal price list: per mole and whole face

Two lines, read directly off Rewind's rate sheet. Neither changes with the size of an individual mole.

One facial mole: small, medium or largeCharged once for each treated lesion
₩15,000
Whole faceA single figure for the facial lesions agreed at examination
₩200,000
A mole on the neck or bodySeen in person; not a separate line on the sheet
Quoted at consultation

Both printed figures are before VAT, which is added when you settle. The anaesthetic cost is already inside the listed rates. A second pass on a mole that returns follows whatever was agreed and noted at your first visit.

Fit

Suitability

Who gets good value from per-mole pricing, and who should wait

Good value on either line

  • A handful of raised, long-unchanged facial moles you already know you want gone
  • A longer scatter of small lesions, where the whole-face figure may come in under the per-mole total
  • Visitors whose trip leaves time for the treated points to be looked at again
  • Patients who will keep up daily sunscreen while the points heal
  • Anyone content for the doctor to shorten the list when some marks need a different treatment

Better to wait, or to be priced differently

  • A lesion that has recently grown, changed colour, bled or started to itch: it is examined for medical reasons and is not priced as cosmetic work
  • Skin that forms thick or raised scars easily, especially if body sites are on the list
  • Sunburned, freshly tanned or irritated skin over the area to be treated
  • A budget built on a photo count that the examination has not yet confirmed
  • Brown patches and freckling that suit pico laser toning better
After

Aftercare

What mole removal aftercare adds to the cost, and what it protects

Aftercare costs little and it is where much of the value of the treatment is kept or lost. Rewind's standing instructions after laser work are brief: some redness straight afterwards is expected; sauna, jjimjilbang and sweaty exercise are avoided; massage and rubbing stay off the treated skin; sunscreen goes on whenever you are outdoors.

At the clinic
The dressing goes on
Treated points are covered before you leave, with instructions for the dressing handed over at the same time.
At home
Sunscreen is the main purchase
A sunscreen used every day is the single item that most protects the result, since sunlight on a healing point is what darkens it.
Healing
Crusts left alone
Each point crusts and the crust separates by itself. Picking one early is the commonest way to turn a small mark into a deeper one and to need a second visit.
Follow-up
A second pass, if needed
A mole that returns is checked against the written record of treated sites, and its cost follows the terms agreed at your first visit.

Risks come with any price. A point can darken for a while or settle slightly paler than the surrounding skin, a deeper treatment can leave a small dip, and skin that scars thickly can form a raised mark. Infection is uncommon and usually follows a crust pulled off early. Deep-rooted moles can recur.

Questions

Mole removal cost: the pricing questions visitors ask first

How much does mole removal cost per mole at Rewind?
One flat per-mole rate applies to every facial mole the doctor agrees to treat, whether it is classed as small, medium or large. The figure is printed in the pricing section of this page, and VAT is added at settlement. Your total is that rate multiplied by the agreed count.
Is face mole removal priced by size or by count?
By count. Rewind's sheet puts small, medium and large moles on one line with one figure, so a larger lesion does not move you into a higher band. What changes the total is the number of lesions treated, which is fixed after the doctor examines each one.
Why is mole removal in Seoul often quoted so low?
Rewind can only speak for its own sheet. Its per-mole figure covers a laser pass on a lesion that has already been examined, with the anaesthetic cost included in listed prices. Tax is added on top, and any second pass follows the terms agreed at your first visit.
When does the whole-face rate cost less than paying per mole?
Divide the whole-face figure by the per-mole figure. The result is the count at which both options cost the same, and above it the single rate is lower. Reception does this sum with your agreed count after the examination, so nobody commits to a line in advance.
Is numbing charged separately?
Rewind's rate sheet states that its listed prices include the anaesthetic cost, so no separate numbing line is added to the bill. Which method is used on your lesions, and how it is applied, is explained by the doctor at the appointment.
Does the photo count I send ahead fix my price?
A photo count helps reception estimate, but the price follows the count agreed after the doctor sees every lesion in person. Photographs hide small marks, flatten raised ones and cannot show change over time, and some listed marks may suit a pigment laser better.
What does it cost to retreat a mole that comes back?
Rewind does not publish a fixed retouch price. Deep-rooted moles are the ones most likely to return, so the terms for a second pass are agreed and noted at your first visit. Keep the written record of treated sites, since it shows which lesion was treated where.
Are moles on the body priced the same way?
The sheet lists facial pricing only. A mole on the neck, shoulders or back is assessed in person and quoted once the doctor has seen it, partly because skin below the jaw heals differently and is more prone to thick scarring.

Scientific evidence

Published research on carbon dioxide laser removal of benign lesions

These three papers are listed for context on the technique, not on price. Two concern carbon dioxide laser removal of benign skin lesions, one of them comparing it with cryotherapy, electrodesiccation and the erbium laser. The third is a split-scar study of early fractional laser treatment on healing surgical wounds, cited only for the scar-care side of aftercare. None was carried out at Rewind Plastic Surgery.
