Treatment Overview
Chok-Chok PRP Hydration is a uniquely Korean skin rejuvenation treatment that blends platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with deep hydration boosters such as hyaluronic acid and essential nutrients. The term “Chok-Chok” in Korean describes skin that is plump, dewy, and bouncy with moisture—a look that has become a global beauty standard.
Unlike standard PRP, which focuses on regeneration, Chok-Chok PRP Hydration emphasizes moisture infusion and cellular repair simultaneously. The treatment is designed to restore radiance, smooth texture, and deeply hydrate the skin, making it a favorite among patients aiming for the Korean “glass skin” effect.
Purpose & Benefits
- Intensive Hydration: Restores moisture at a dermal level for supple, glowing skin.
- Collagen & Elastin Boost: PRP stimulates long-term skin firmness and repair.
- Radiant Glow: Achieves the fresh, luminous “Chok-Chok” look.
- Fine Line Reduction: Smooths delicate wrinkles caused by dryness.
- Texture Refinement: Minimizes pores and unevenness for a silky finish.
- Skin Healing: Supports recovery from sun damage, stress, and early aging.
Ideal Candidates

Treatment Process in Korea
Korea is internationally recognized for pioneering hydration-based PRP therapies, and Chok-Chok PRP Hydration is a signature example.
Consultation & Analysis
Skin hydration, elasticity, and texture are analyzed with advanced imaging. A personalized blend of PRP and hydration boosters is prepared.
Treatment Day
Blood is drawn, and PRP is extracted using high-quality centrifugation systems. Cleansing and numbing cream are applied. The PRP + hydration blend is delivered into the dermis using aqua injection or microinjections. The procedure usually takes 30–45 minutes.

A cooling mask or LED therapy is applied to soothe the skin. Patients typically resume daily activities the same day.
