Treatment Overview
The Microneedling PRP Facial in Korea is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation treatment that combines micro-needling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and promote overall skin regeneration. The micro-needling process creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, allowing PRP to penetrate deeply and accelerate healing. Korean dermatology clinics are globally recognized for their advanced micro-needling PRP protocols, often combining this treatment with laser therapy, skin boosters, or Rejuran Healer for enhanced results. This procedure is highly effective for acne scars, fine lines, pigmentation, and dull skin, making Korea a top destination for natural, high-quality facial rejuvenation.
Purpose & Benefits
- Stimulates collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother skin
- Improves texture, tone, and overall radiance
- Reduces acne scars, fine lines, and early signs of aging
- Enhances hydration and skin elasticity
- Promotes natural skin regeneration with minimal downtime
- Safe and natural since it uses the patient’s own plasma
Ideal Candidates
- Individuals with acne scars, fine lines, or uneven texture
- Patients seeking a natural rejuvenation alternative to surgical facelifts
- Adults with dull, tired-looking skin needing radiance and firmness
- Those who prefer minimally invasive treatments with gradual, lasting improvements
- People aiming for overall skin health and youthfulness
Possible Risks & Complications
While considered very safe, minor side effects may include:
- Temporary redness, swelling, or mild bruising at treated areas
- Slight sensitivity or tingling for 1–2 days
- Rare risk of infection if aftercare instructions are not followed
- Gradual results requiring multiple sessions for optimal effect
Microneedling PRP facials are particularly safe as PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or adverse effects.
Surgical Techniques Used
Although non-surgical, Korean dermatologists employ advanced techniques to ensure maximum effectiveness:
- PRP Micro-Needling Infusion – Micro-needling creates controlled channels in the skin, allowing PRP to penetrate deeply for enhanced collagen stimulation.
- Direct PRP Injection Combination – PRP is injected in targeted areas for optimal rejuvenation and scar reduction.
- PRP + Laser or RF Therapy – Combines micro-needling PRP with laser resurfacing or radiofrequency for deeper correction.
- Combination Therapy – PRP can be paired with Rejuran Healer, exosomes, or hyaluronic acid boosters for superior results.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Mild redness or swelling usually resolves within 24–48 hours.
- Sun protection is essential to prevent pigmentation and maintain results.
- Makeup can be applied after 24–48 hours.
- Gentle hydration and adherence to post-treatment instructions ensure optimal healing.
- Collagen and elastin production continues over 2–3 weeks, improving texture and firmness.
Results & Longevity
- Visible improvements in skin texture, radiance, and firmness are typically seen within 2–3 weeks.
- Optimal results usually require 3–5 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
- Results generally last 12–18 months, depending on lifestyle, skincare, and maintenance.
- Annual or semi-annual maintenance sessions help sustain youthful and smooth skin.
