PRP Skin Therapy in Seoul: Procedure, Benefits & Cost
Platelet-rich plasma from your own blood, applied with microneedling or injection to support skin renewal and scar improvement.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) skin therapy, often called the “vampire facial”, concentrates growth factors from a small sample of your own blood and applies them to the skin by microneedling or injection to support collagen and repair. The whole visit takes about 45–60 minutes, with mild redness and sensitivity for 1–3 days. Most people need 2–3 sessions; a single PRP facial in Seoul typically costs ₩250,000–₩450,000.
What is PRP skin therapy?
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma, a concentrate made from your own blood that contains growth factors and proteins involved in tissue repair. In skin treatment it is used to support collagen production and healing.
- A small amount of blood is drawn
- It is spun in a centrifuge to separate platelet-rich plasma (about 10–15 minutes)
- The PRP is applied through microneedling or injected into target areas such as under-eyes, cheeks or acne scars
Potential benefits
- Smoother texture and brighter tone
- Support for collagen and elastin, helping fine lines and mild laxity
- Gradual improvement in acne scars and pores over several sessions
- Uses your own plasma, so allergic reactions are uncommon
- Often paired with lasers or microneedling to support recovery
