A single Curejet session starts at ₩190,000 on our price list, but what you end up paying depends on how many sessions your concern calls for. For depressed acne scars, the plan that has been studied is 3 sessions a month apart, with results judged 3 months after the last one, so scars are usually planned as a course from the start. For pores, there's much less to go on, so the next session is decided after seeing how your skin texture responds to the first.
That's why comparing one-session prices alone can mislead you. In this article, we'll cover the current Curejet prices for pores and scars, how the device works, how scar type changes the session count, what's normal afterward and what to check on a quote.
Quick summary
- Your Curejet total is set less by the price of one session and more by how many sessions your concern needs.
- Price list: Curejet starts at ₩190,000 (VAT excluded, as of September 8, 2026).
- For acne scars, the studied plan is 3 sessions spaced about a month apart, judged 3 months after the last session.
- Scar shape: gently rolling scars improved more than narrow, deep "icepick" scars or sharp-edged "boxcar" scars.

| Curejet | From ₩190,000 | Price list, Sept 8, 2026 |
| Curejet for pores and texture, with Juvelook SB and aftercare, 1 session | ₩390,000 | Promotion, Sept 1 to Nov 30, 2026 |
| Curejet for fine acne scars, full face, with aftercare, 1 session | ₩490,000 | Promotion, Sept 1 to Nov 30, 2026 |
| Curejet for fine acne scars, full face, with aftercare, 5 sessions | ₩1,990,000 | Promotion, Sept 1 to Nov 30, 2026 |
| Curejet for fine acne scars, full face, with aftercare, 10 sessions | ₩3,990,000 | Promotion, Sept 1 to Nov 30, 2026 |
The pore package adds Juvelook SB, while the scar packages cover the full face. Which type of Juvelook SB is used and how many cc go in should be confirmed at your consultation. Since the product and the treated area differ, a pore session and a scar session aren't the same treatment even when both say "1 session."
The 5- and 10-session packages are priced as a whole. Keep in mind that they're set for a full-face scar plan, so check whether that matches the area you actually want treated before choosing a bundle.
What Is Curejet, and Why Isn't One Session Enough?
Curejet is a device that pushes a liquid product into the skin with high pressure instead of a needle. The product spreads into the dermis (the thick middle layer of skin) under the base of a depressed scar. The area then fills in gradually, so changes show up weeks to months later rather than right after the session.
We couldn't find a study on the Curejet device itself, so the numbers in this article come from other needle-free pressure-injection devices that work the same way. In 10 people with 13 depressed scars who had one session, scar volume went from 0.964 to 0.741 mm³ at 1 month, a change too small to count as meaningful. By 2 months, it had dropped to 0.566 mm³, and that difference was clear.
So one session can start the change, but judging it at the 1-month mark is too early. Individual results vary, and that small study had no untreated group to compare against.
How Many Curejet Sessions Do Acne Scars Need?
For acne scars, I start from 3 sessions about a month apart, then add sessions or another scar treatment depending on the scar shape. In a study of 30 Japanese adults, one side of the face got hyaluronic acid through needle-free pressure injection 3 times, a month apart, while the other side got nothing. Three months after the last session, 48.3% of the treated sides passed the study's improvement threshold, compared with 0% of the untreated sides.
Scar shape made a difference. Rolling scars, the wide and gently sloped kind, improved more than icepick or boxcar scars. 55.2% of participants said they were satisfied, which means close to half weren't. Results differ from person to person.
If most of your scars are icepick scars, adding more Curejet sessions alone may not be the answer, and another scar treatment is worth weighing alongside it. Spacing matters too. If sessions are too close together, you may go into the next one before swelling from the last has settled. If they're too far apart, it gets harder to compare progress between sessions.
Pores are a different story, because there's little evidence on how many sessions they need. One case report followed a single 41-year-old woman who had 5 sessions a month apart: her pore score went from 6 to 3 and held at the 12-week check. That's one person, so it isn't a session count you can count on. I look at your skin texture after the first session and decide on the next one from there.
Curejet Side Effects and Downtime: What's Normal, When to Get Help
Pinpoint bleeding, redness, swelling, bruising and small crusts show up right after treatment and settle over a few days. Brown marks (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) after scar treatment have also been reported, so sun protection is non-negotiable while your skin heals*.
*Based on a review of needle-free pressure-injection studies, not a Curejet-specific standard.
Because Curejet delivers an injected product, don't wait if you notice any of these signs*:
- Skin at a treated spot turns white (blanching)
- Unusual pain during or shortly after treatment
- Any change in your vision
- Signs of a stroke: sudden difficulty speaking, numbness or weakness in your face, arms or legs, difficulty walking, face drooping, severe headache, dizziness or confusion
If your skin turns white or the pain feels unusual, see a doctor right away. If your vision changes or you notice signs of a stroke, go to the nearest emergency room. A message to the clinic is never a substitute for getting care.
*Based on the U.S. FDA's guidance on injectable fillers in general, not a Curejet-specific standard.
What Should a Curejet Quote Spell Out?
At the consultation, I first look at what kind of problem you have: gently sloped scars, narrow and deep scars, or enlarged pores spread across a wide area. That answer decides both the product and the number of sessions, so it should show up on the quote as well.
- The name and amount of the product injected (for example, Juvelook SB and how many cc)
- The area covered: full face or specific zones
- How many sessions the plan includes, and the spacing between them
- Whether aftercare and VAT are included, and when the promotion ends
Before your first session, photos taken in the same light and at the same angle make it much easier to judge the change after 3 sessions. Ask for them, or take your own at home.
Fitting Curejet Into Your Travel Schedule
Unless you've had sedation that day, there's no need to postpone your flight because of a Curejet session.
It helps to know what one visit can and can't do. Some treatments, such as filler, change your shape the same day. Curejet works more gradually: your skin tends to move closer to how it used to look over the following weeks rather than changing all at once. A single session on a short trip also doesn't replace a full scar plan, which in the study above meant 3 sessions about a month apart.
Once you're home, you can send photos through the consultation button on this page if you have questions about how your skin is settling. If you notice skin turning white, a change in vision or pain that keeps getting worse, see a local doctor first rather than waiting for a reply.
The Bottom Line: Plan by Scar Type, Then Count Sessions
The number that matters most on a Curejet quote is the session count, and it depends on your scar shape. Before you decide, ask: "Are my scars mostly rolling or mostly icepick, and how many sessions would you plan for that?" With that answer, a 1-session price and a 5-session package become much easier to compare.
Like any procedure, Curejet comes with trade-offs, and the right plan depends on your skin, your goals and your budget. Beautystone is a clinic in Seoul's Hapjeong area. When you reach out through the consultation button, include photos of the scars or pores that bother you most and the dates you could start.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does Curejet hurt less than a needle injection?
A. Curejet doesn't use a needle, but you'll still feel the pressure as it hits the skin. Numbing cream may be used depending on the area and how sensitive you are. The numbing approach is decided together at your visit.
Q. Can one Curejet session change acne scars?
A. In a 10-person study of a device that works like Curejet, scar volume had dropped by 2 months after one session, but there was no clear change at 1 month. That makes one session too early to judge, and scars are usually planned over several sessions.
Q. Should I choose the 5-session Curejet package or pay per session?
A. The Curejet scar package is ₩490,000 for 1 session and ₩1,990,000 for 5 sessions. If your scars cover a wide area and several sessions are judged necessary, the package fits; if you'd like to see how your skin responds first, start with 1 session. Both prices run until November 30, 2026.
Q. Does Curejet work on icepick acne scars?
A. In needle-free pressure-injection research, icepick scars improved less than gently rolling scars. If narrow, deep scars make up most of yours, another scar treatment is worth discussing too. When scar types are mixed, different areas can be treated in different ways.
Q. When can I wear makeup after Curejet?
A. After Curejet, pinpoint bleeding and small crusts settle over a few days. It's safer to start makeup once the crusts have come off and the redness has calmed down. Since this depends on the treated area, follow the aftercare instructions you get on the day.
Q. What if brown marks appear after Curejet?
A. Brown marks after scar treatments like Curejet have been reported. Keep up daily sunscreen, and if the marks get darker after a few weeks, the spacing before your next session can be adjusted. If marks stayed after a previous treatment, mention it at your consultation.
Q. Is there a consultation fee for international patients?
A. Yes. International patients pay ₩10,000 for a counselor consultation and ₩20,000 for a doctor consultation. Both are waived if you have a treatment and pay for it the same day.
