Laser Hair Removal in Myeongdong, Seoul
Laser hair removal for the face, underarms, arms and other areas, with clear per-session prices and English-speaking consultations in central Seoul.
What is laser hair removal? Laser hair removal uses laser light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair and turns into heat, damaging the follicle so that hair grows back finer and more slowly. Because hair grows in cycles, a course of several sessions spaced a few weeks apart is needed for lasting reduction. At Kleam Clinic Myeongdong, laser hair removal starts from ₩50,000 per session for small areas such as the underarms or upper lip.
How laser hair removal works
The laser targets the pigment in the hair shaft and heats the follicle beneath the skin, reducing its ability to grow new hair. Only hairs in the active growth phase respond to each session, which is why several sessions, usually 4–6 weeks apart for the body, are needed to treat each follicle. Results are a significant, long-term reduction in hair rather than a guarantee of permanent removal.
Kleam offers partial and wider-area laser hair removal, including specialised treatment for sensitive areas such as the face and underarms, with discounted prices when you book multiple sessions. Consultations are available in English and the laser settings are adjusted to your skin and hair type.

Laser hair removal in Seoul: frequently asked questions
Clear answers to what international guests ask most before booking.
How many sessions do I need?
Most people need several sessions, often around 5 or more, because only actively growing hairs respond each time. Your doctor will advise based on the area and your hair.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
It gives a significant, long-term reduction in hair. Some hairs may regrow over time, and occasional maintenance sessions can help.
Does it hurt?
Most people describe it as quick snaps of warmth or a rubber band flick. Sensitive areas can feel stronger, but sessions are short.
How should I prepare?
Shave the area a day before if advised, but do not wax or pluck for several weeks beforehand. Avoid tanning before treatment.
Is it safe for all skin types?
Laser settings are adjusted to your skin and hair type, and your doctor will check suitability at consultation. Very light or grey hair does not respond well.
Can I have laser hair removal during a short trip?
Yes, a single session fits easily into a short stay, but lasting results need repeat sessions several weeks apart.
