If you’re considering professional teeth whitening in Korea during your trip, this page brings everything together — costs, timing, results, safety (3-session concept), real cases, and how to book/access. Jump to the sections that matter to you.

1) How It Works & Materials

1-1. Principle of In-office Whitening

A peroxide-based in-office gel acts on internal pigments to brighten teeth from the inside — without shaving enamel. Unlike abrasive polishing, it won’t scratch the tooth surface.

Brightens from within without removing enamel.

1-2. Premium In-office Gel

We use a premium gel optimized for the balance of low sensitivity and quick results, paired with controlled LED activation. Concentration and timing are managed under clinic protocols (details during consultation).

Why we chose this gel & our protocol

1-3. Home Whitening (Maintenance)

To reduce rebound after your trip, our LED home kit (Vutees White Light) is popular. You can pick it up at the clinic (tax-free) and buy extra gel if needed.

4) Expected Results & Limits

We typically aim for 3–4 shades of improvement (varies). Yellowish teeth respond well; grayish or non-vital teeth may respond less. In those cases, ceramic veneers/crowns can improve both color and shape.

5) Safety & the “3-Session” Concept (Aftercare)

  • 3 sessions in one visit: controlled LED activation targeting a natural finish with individualized timing.
  • Gingival protection & sensitivity care are included for safety.
  • For 24 hours post-treatment, avoid dark food/drinks & smoking. For ~2 hours post, avoid very hot/cold drinks and carbonated beverages for stability.

Several months to about a year depending on lifestyle. A home kit helps maintain results.
How many sessions should I get?
