PRP Facial Platelet-Rich Plasma Skin Rejuvenation in Gangnam Seoul
PRP facial treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam harnesses your body’s own platelet-rich plasma to stimulate collagen synthesis, accelerate cellular turnover, and restore a natural luminous glow without synthetic fillers or foreign substances. Medical Director Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu performs every PRP facial using advanced double-spin centrifugation for maximum platelet concentration, delivering growth-factor-rich plasma directly into the dermis. Located 2 minutes from Gangnam Station Exit 10, open 365 days a year with 8-language support.
What Is a PRP Facial Treatment?
A PRP facial at RE:BERRY Gangnam extracts 10-20ml of your blood, isolates platelet-rich plasma via double-spin centrifugation to achieve 4-6x baseline platelet concentration, and injects or microneedles the growth-factor-rich plasma into the dermis to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and restore natural radiance over 4-8 weeks.
PRP — platelet-rich plasma — facial treatment represents the frontier of autologous regenerative aesthetics: using your body’s own healing mechanisms to rejuvenate skin without synthetic substances. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, Medical Director Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu has refined the PRP facial protocol to maximize clinical outcomes through three critical variables: centrifugation quality, platelet concentration, and delivery method. The process begins with a simple blood draw of 10-20ml from your arm, identical to a routine blood test. This blood is processed in a medical-grade centrifuge using a double-spin protocol that separates red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelet-poor plasma from the concentrated platelet-rich fraction. The resulting PRP contains 4-6 times the normal concentration of platelets, each packed with growth factors including PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor), TGF-beta (transforming growth factor), VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), and EGF (epidermal growth factor). These growth factors are the same biological signals your body uses to heal wounds and regenerate tissue. When introduced into the facial dermis through micro-injection or microneedling, they trigger a cascade of cellular responses: fibroblast activation, neocollagenesis, angiogenesis, and extracellular matrix remodeling. The result is progressive improvement in skin texture, tone, firmness, and radiance over 4-8 weeks. PRP facial treatment at RE:BERRY Gangnam is particularly popular among patients who prefer natural, biocompatible treatments and those seeking to complement device-based treatments like Ultherapy or Thermage FLX with biological regeneration. Because PRP uses your own blood, there is zero risk of allergic reaction, rejection, or foreign body response — making it one of the safest aesthetic treatments available. Dr. Ryu’s team provides consultations and aftercare in 8 languages, ensuring international visitors receive comprehensive guidance from blood draw through follow-up assessment. The clinic is located in KI Tower B1-B2, a 2-minute walk from Gangnam Station Exit 10, with same-day appointments available 365 days a year.

How PRP Facial Works at RE:BERRY Gangnam
A physician-performed 4-step protocol using your own platelet-rich plasma for natural skin rejuvenation.
Blood Draw & Skin Assessment
Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu begins your PRP facial with a comprehensive skin assessment, evaluating texture, tone, elasticity, pore size, and areas of concern under magnified lighting. He then draws 10-20ml of blood from your arm using sterile technique — the same volume as a routine blood test. The amount drawn depends on the treatment area: 10ml for targeted zones (under-eyes, nasolabial folds) or 20ml for full-face PRP facial treatment. The blood draw takes approximately 2 minutes, and most patients describe it as painless. During the draw, Dr. Ryu discusses your treatment goals and determines whether standalone PRP or a combination protocol with microneedling or skin booster will produce optimal results for your PRP facial in Gangnam.
Double-Spin Centrifugation & Platelet Isolation
Your blood sample enters a medical-grade centrifuge for the double-spin protocol that distinguishes clinical-grade PRP from basic preparations. The first spin (soft spin at 1,500 RPM for 6 minutes) separates red blood cells from plasma and buffy coat. The second spin (hard spin at 3,500 RPM for 15 minutes) concentrates the platelet fraction to 4-6x baseline levels. This double-spin method yields a significantly higher concentration of growth factors — PDGF, TGF-beta, VEGF, EGF, and IGF-1 — compared to single-spin systems used by many clinics. The entire centrifugation process takes approximately 25 minutes, during which a topical numbing cream is applied to your face in preparation for the PRP facial delivery phase.
PRP Delivery: Micro-Injection or Microneedling
Dr. Ryu delivers the concentrated PRP into your facial dermis using one of two methods based on your treatment plan. For targeted correction (under-eye hollows, acne scars, nasolabial folds), he uses direct micro-injection with 30-gauge needles at 0.5-1.0mm depth, placing precise droplets of PRP at 5mm intervals. For full-face rejuvenation, PRP is applied topically and driven into the skin via Potenza RF microneedling or manual microneedling, creating thousands of microchannels that absorb the growth-factor-rich plasma. The microneedling method maximizes PRP penetration across the entire facial surface and simultaneously stimulates collagen through controlled micro-trauma. Treatment takes 20-30 minutes depending on the method selected.
Post-Treatment Care & Growth Factor Activation
After PRP delivery, Dr. Ryu applies LDM therapy to enhance growth factor activation and reduce any redness from the injection or microneedling process. Post-PRP facial instructions are simple: avoid washing your face for 6 hours to allow maximum growth factor absorption, skip makeup for 12 hours, avoid sun exposure and strenuous exercise for 24 hours, and use SPF 50+ sunscreen from day 2 onward. Mild pinkness fades within 12-24 hours — most patients are comfortable returning to social activities the next morning. The biological regeneration process continues internally for 4-8 weeks as growth factors activate fibroblasts and stimulate new collagen and elastin production. Dr. Ryu recommends 3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart for optimal PRP facial results, followed by maintenance every 6-12 months.

The Science Behind PRP Facial Treatment
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting platelet-rich plasma for dermal rejuvenation and collagen synthesis.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Growth Factor Biology
PRP facial treatment harnesses the regenerative potential of concentrated platelets, which serve as biological reservoirs of growth factors critical for tissue repair and rejuvenation. Alpha granules within platelets release PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor), which stimulates fibroblast proliferation and migration; TGF-beta1 (transforming growth factor beta-1), which drives extracellular matrix synthesis and collagen deposition; VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), which promotes neoangiogenesis and improved blood supply to treated tissue; and EGF (epidermal growth factor), which accelerates keratinocyte proliferation and epidermal renewal. Double-spin centrifugation protocols used at RE:BERRY Gangnam achieve platelet concentrations of 4-6 times baseline levels, creating a biologically potent growth factor concentrate that activates dermal fibroblasts and triggers a sustained regenerative cascade lasting 4-8 weeks post-treatment.
Neocollagenesis and Dermal Remodeling Mechanisms
When PRP is introduced into the facial dermis through micro-injection or microneedling during a PRP facial treatment, the concentrated growth factors initiate a coordinated sequence of biological events. PDGF and TGF-beta1 activate resident fibroblasts, upregulating the expression of type I and type III procollagen genes. These fibroblasts begin synthesizing new collagen fibers that are deposited and cross-linked within the existing extracellular matrix over 4-12 weeks. Simultaneously, VEGF stimulates the formation of new capillaries, improving oxygen and nutrient delivery to the rejuvenating tissue. Histological analysis of PRP-treated skin demonstrates increased dermal thickness, elevated collagen density, and improved elastic fiber organization compared to untreated controls. This biological remodeling manifests clinically as firmer, more elastic skin with improved tone and reduced fine lines — outcomes that continue to improve for up to 3 months after PRP facial treatment.
Combination Therapy: PRP with Microneedling Synergy
The combination of PRP with microneedling creates a synergistic effect that exceeds either treatment alone. Microneedling generates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the wound-healing cascade and create thousands of channels for enhanced PRP absorption. The addition of PRP to the microneedling protocol provides an immediate supply of concentrated growth factors precisely when and where the skin’s repair mechanisms are most active. Clinical studies comparing PRP-assisted microneedling versus microneedling alone demonstrate significantly greater improvements in skin texture, wrinkle depth, and overall rejuvenation scores at both 1-month and 3-month follow-up. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, Dr. Ryu frequently pairs PRP facial with Potenza RF microneedling for patients seeking maximum collagen stimulation.
Clinical Evidence for PRP Facial Efficacy
The evidence base for PRP facial treatment in dermal rejuvenation is supported by multiple controlled clinical trials. Elnehrawy et al. (2017) demonstrated that intradermal PRP injections produced significant improvements in skin color, wrinkles, and overall appearance on the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) at 3 months in a split-face study of 20 patients. Abuaf et al. (2016) showed that PRP injections combined with fractional CO2 laser resulted in significantly greater improvement in facial skin texture and wrinkle reduction compared to laser alone. Cameli et al. (2017) documented that PRP micro-injections significantly increased dermal thickness, as measured by ultrasound, and improved the elasticity index of facial skin at 30 and 90 days post-treatment.

What Our Patients Say About PRP Facial Treatment
“I chose PRP facial at RE:BERRY Gangnam because I wanted something completely natural — no synthetic fillers, no foreign products. Dr. Ryu explained the entire double-spin process and showed me my concentrated PRP before injection. By week 3, my skin had a glow I have not seen since my twenties. After 3 sessions, even my pores look smaller.”
“As someone with sensitive skin who reacts to many products, PRP was the perfect option. Using my own blood means zero allergy risk. Dr. Oh combined PRP with gentle microneedling, and the results have been remarkable. My acne scars have softened significantly and my skin texture is smoother than it has been in years.”
“I was skeptical about PRP facial until I saw the clinical studies Dr. Ryu shared during my consultation. Three sessions over 3 months, and the collagen improvement is undeniable — my skin feels firmer and the fine lines around my eyes have noticeably diminished. The RE:BERRY team made the whole process seamless in English.”
