Treatment Overview
PureCell RF is an advanced microneedling RF therapy offered in Korea, designed to deliver deep collagen regeneration, skin tightening, and cellular rejuvenation. Using devices such as Potenza and Secret RF, ultra-fine microneedles deliver radiofrequency energy into the dermis, triggering collagen and elastin remodeling.
What makes PureCell RF unique is its focus on cellular-level rejuvenation. Many clinics pair the treatment with regenerative boosters such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma), exosomes, or peptides, helping the skin recover faster while enhancing overall glow and vitality. It’s ideal for patients seeking scar repair, wrinkle reduction, and long-lasting rejuvenation without surgery.
