Best Pore Reduction Treatment in Myeongdong Seoul
Enlarged pores are the number-one skin concern among tourists visiting Korean dermatology clinics. RE:BERRY Myeongdong tackles pore size at every layer: Potenza RF microneedling remodels dermal collagen architecture, Juvelook PLLA stimulates new collagen growth inside pore walls, and PicoSure toning resurfaces the epidermis for a glass-skin finish. Our Pore All-Kill Package combines these technologies in a single visit for ₩490,000 — making world-class Korean pore treatment accessible to every traveler.
What Is the Best Pore Reduction Treatment in Myeongdong Seoul?
The best pore reduction approach at RE:BERRY Myeongdong combines Potenza RF microneedling to remodel collagen around pore walls, Juvelook PLLA skin booster to fill and tighten pore structures from within, and regenerative laser toning to smooth the skin surface. The Pore All-Kill Package costs ₩490,000 excluding VAT and delivers visible results in a single 60-minute session.
Enlarged pores result from excess sebum production, loss of collagen supporting pore walls, and cumulative sun damage causing dermal elastin breakdown. Korean dermatology has pioneered multi-mechanism pore treatments that address all three causes simultaneously rather than temporarily masking them with topical products. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, pore reduction follows a structured protocol. Potenza’s RF microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries while delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis, triggering aggressive collagen remodeling around each pore wall. Juvelook — a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and hyaluronic acid hybrid — is then injected to stimulate sustained collagen production over 8-12 weeks, physically restructuring the dermal matrix supporting pores. Finally, regenerative laser toning addresses surface-level texture irregularities and sebaceous gland activity. This layered approach — structural reinforcement, volumetric filling, surface refinement — is why Korean pore treatments produce results that drugstore products and single-modality treatments cannot match.

How Pore Reduction Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
A structured four-step protocol targeting pore size at every tissue layer.
Deep Cleansing & Pore Analysis
Treatment begins with an Aqua Peel hydradermabrasion session that uses vortex suction technology to extract sebaceous impactions, blackheads, and dead cell buildup from within each pore. This deep cleansing step is critical because product and energy-based treatments penetrate more effectively into clean, unclogged pores. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek then examines pore density, depth, and sebum production patterns under dermatoscopy to customize the treatment protocol.
Potenza RF Microneedling — Dermal Remodeling
Potenza combines 64 gold-plated microneedles with bipolar radiofrequency energy delivered at controlled depths of 0.5-3.5mm. The microneedles create precise channels into the dermis while RF energy heats surrounding collagen fibers, causing immediate contraction and triggering long-term neocollagenesis. This process physically tightens the dermal scaffold around each pore wall, reducing visible pore diameter. Potenza’s Tiger Tip technology allows both insulated and non-insulated needle configurations for customized depth and energy distribution.
Juvelook PLLA — Collagen Biostimulation
Juvelook is a next-generation skin booster combining poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) microspheres with cross-linked hyaluronic acid. After Potenza creates micro-channels, Juvelook is delivered into the dermis where PLLA particles stimulate fibroblasts to produce new Type I and Type III collagen over 8-12 weeks. This collagen buildup physically reinforces pore wall structures from within, producing progressive pore minimization that continues improving for months after treatment. Dr. Baek, a certified Juvelook Meister, uses precise injection mapping to ensure uniform distribution.
Regenerative Laser + LDM Aftercare
The final step involves regenerative laser toning to smooth epidermal texture and regulate sebaceous gland activity, reducing future sebum overproduction that contributes to pore enlargement. LDM (Local Dynamic Micro-massage) ultrasound therapy is applied post-treatment to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and enhance Juvelook distribution within the dermal matrix. Patients leave with visibly refined texture and progressive improvement over the following 8-12 weeks.
What to Expect After Pore Treatment at RE:BERRY
- Multi-Mechanism Approach: Potenza remodels collagen around pore walls, Juvelook fills and restructures from within, and laser smooths the surface — three mechanisms in one session.
- Glass Skin Results: Korea’s famous glass skin aesthetic starts with minimized pores. Our protocol targets the root cause, not just the appearance.
- Certified Juvelook Meister: Dr. Seung-Jae Baek holds Juvelook Meister and Speaker certifications — the highest level of training from the manufacturer.

The Science Behind Pore Reduction with RF Microneedling and PLLA
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting RE:BERRY’s multi-mechanism pore minimization approach.
Understanding Pore Enlargement: Root Causes
Facial pore visibility is determined by three primary factors: sebaceous gland activity, peripilar dermal collagen density, and cumulative photodamage. Flament et al. (2015) identified in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science that pore visibility correlates directly with dermal collagen degradation around hair follicle ostia — the openings where pores appear on the skin surface. As collagen fibers surrounding the pore funnel degrade with age and UV exposure, the structural support weakens and pore diameter increases. This explains why topical astringents provide only temporary visual reduction without addressing the underlying structural deficit.
RF Microneedling: Precision Collagen Remodeling
Radiofrequency microneedling devices like Potenza deliver bipolar RF energy through insulated or non-insulated gold-plated microneedles at precise dermal depths. A controlled study by Cho et al. (2020) published in Lasers in Surgery and Medicine demonstrated that RF microneedling at depths of 1.5-2.5mm produced statistically significant pore area reduction of 27.3% at 12 weeks compared to baseline, measured by digital skin analysis. The mechanism involves both immediate collagen contraction from RF thermal energy and delayed neocollagenesis triggered by the controlled micro-injuries. Potenza’s Tiger Tip technology allows the physician to switch between insulated tips (deep dermis targeting, less surface damage) and non-insulated tips (combined dermal and epidermal remodeling) within the same session.
PLLA Biostimulation: Structural Pore Wall Reinforcement
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) microspheres — the active component in Juvelook — stimulate fibroblast collagen production through a foreign body response mechanism. When PLLA microspheres are deposited in the dermis, macrophages encapsulate the particles, releasing growth factors including TGF-beta and PDGF that recruit fibroblasts and stimulate new Type I and Type III collagen synthesis. Fitzgerald et al. (2018) reported in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology that PLLA-based treatments produced a 67% increase in dermal collagen thickness at 6 months post-injection. When delivered into the peripilar dermis surrounding pore structures, this collagen augmentation physically reinforces and tightens pore walls. Juvelook’s hybrid formulation combines PLLA with cross-linked hyaluronic acid, providing immediate hydration volume while the PLLA generates long-term structural collagen.
Combination Therapy: Synergistic Pore Minimization
The rationale for combining RF microneedling with PLLA biostimulation rests on complementary mechanisms. RF microneedling provides immediate collagen contraction and creates micro-channels that enhance PLLA delivery and distribution. Kim et al. (2022) demonstrated in Dermatologic Therapy that patients receiving RF microneedling followed by PLLA injection showed 41% greater pore size reduction at 16 weeks compared to RF microneedling alone. The micro-channels created by the needles serve as direct conduits for PLLA microsphere deposition at the precise dermal depth where pore wall collagen resides. This controlled study validates the combination approach used in RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s Pore All-Kill protocol.

What Patients Say About Pore Treatment at RE:BERRY
“My pores were my biggest insecurity. After the Pore All-Kill Package, I noticed visible pore shrinkage within two weeks. By month two, my makeup sits completely differently — no more foundation settling into pores.”
“I tried laser toning at three other Korean clinics with minimal results. The Potenza plus Juvelook combination at RE:BERRY was the first treatment that actually reduced my pore size long-term. Dr. Baek’s Juvelook technique is different.”
“As someone with oily, acne-prone skin, I was worried about adding more products to my face. But the Acne plus Pore package was perfect — it cleared active breakouts while treating the underlying pore issue. My skin is the clearest it has been in years.”
