Cryotherapy Facial in Myeongdong Seoul
RE:BERRY Myeongdong delivers controlled sub-zero cryotherapy facial treatments that constrict blood vessels, minimize pore size, and trigger a collagen-boosting inflammatory response for brighter, tighter skin. Cryotherapy facial in Myeongdong is combined with Rejuran HB+, Aqua Peel, and subcision for maximum results at our 365-day clinic with 8-language support, 2 minutes from Myeongdong Station.
What Is a Cryotherapy Facial in Myeongdong Seoul?
A cryotherapy facial applies controlled sub-zero temperatures between -10 and -15 degrees Celsius to the face for 10-15 minutes, constricting blood vessels, reducing pore size by up to 40%, and stimulating collagen production, available at RE:BERRY Myeongdong in combination packages from ₩1,090,000.
Cryotherapy facial treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong harnesses the skin’s natural cold-shock response to deliver immediate visible improvements in pore size, redness, and overall radiance. When sub-zero temperatures contact the epidermis, peripheral blood vessels rapidly constrict (vasoconstriction), flushing out toxins and excess fluid that cause puffiness and dullness. As the skin rewarms over 15-20 minutes post-treatment, a powerful vasodilation response floods the tissue with oxygen-rich blood, growth factors, and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Head Director Seung-Jae Baek incorporates cryotherapy facial as a finishing step in several of RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s most popular combination protocols. In the Deeply Healthy Hydrated package, cryotherapy facial follows Rejuran HB+ 4cc + Eye Rejuran 2cc at ₩1,125,000, sealing polynucleotide growth factors deep into the dermis while reducing post-injection redness. For patients addressing acne scarring, cryotherapy facial pairs with subcision and Juvelook hand injection 4cc plus Pico Fraxel at ₩1,090,000. The cold-induced anti-inflammatory cascade calms tissue trauma from subcision, accelerating recovery time from 5-7 days down to 2-3 days. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s location just 2 minutes from Myeongdong Station Exit 8, international visitors can combine cryotherapy facial with their primary aesthetic treatment for enhanced results without additional downtime.

How Cryotherapy Facial Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
A 4-step protocol combining sub-zero cold therapy with advanced skin rejuvenation for optimal results.
Skin Analysis & Combination Planning
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek evaluates your skin under magnification to assess pore congestion, redness levels, hydration status, and any active inflammation. Based on this 15-minute assessment, the optimal cryotherapy facial combination is selected. Patients with dehydration and fine lines typically benefit from the Rejuran HB+ plus cryotherapy protocol, while those with acne scarring are directed toward the subcision plus Juvelook plus cryotherapy path. The consultation is available in 8 languages including English, Japanese, and Mandarin at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Primary Treatment Application
Before the cryotherapy facial step, the primary aesthetic treatment is performed first. For the Deeply Healthy Hydrated package, Rejuran HB+ 4cc is micro-injected across the face and Eye Rejuran 2cc targets the periorbital area to deliver polynucleotide chains that stimulate fibroblast proliferation. For the scarring package, subcision mechanically releases tethered acne scars before Juvelook 4cc fills the undermined space. This primary treatment takes 20-40 minutes depending on the selected protocol.
Cryotherapy Facial Application
The cryotherapy facial device delivers a controlled stream of vaporized cold air at -10 to -15 degrees Celsius across the entire face in systematic passes. Each pass takes 2-3 minutes, and the full cryotherapy facial application lasts 10-15 minutes. The cold energy penetrates 2-3mm into the dermis, triggering immediate vasoconstriction that reduces redness and swelling from the preceding treatment. Patients feel an intense cooling sensation that becomes comfortable within 30 seconds as the skin acclimates. The cold shock proteins (CSPs) released during this phase activate collagen synthesis pathways and suppress inflammatory mediator production.
Post-Cryo Recovery & Aftercare
After the cryotherapy facial, a soothing recovery mask with centella asiatica and hyaluronic acid is applied for 10 minutes while the skin undergoes natural rewarming. This vasodilation phase floods the treated area with nutrient-rich blood, accelerating absorption of any previously applied skin boosters. You will notice immediate brightness and reduced pore visibility. Mild pinkness fades within 1-2 hours. No downtime is required, and you can return to sightseeing in Myeongdong immediately. Sun protection with SPF 50+ is recommended for 72 hours post-treatment. A follow-up consultation can be scheduled within your travel period.
What to Expect from Cryotherapy Facial in Myeongdong
- Instant Pore Reduction: Cold-induced vasoconstriction shrinks pore diameter by 30-40% immediately after treatment.
- Anti-Inflammatory Action: Sub-zero temperatures suppress IL-6 and TNF-alpha, calming redness and irritation within minutes.
- Enhanced Product Absorption: Post-cryo vasodilation phase drives Rejuran, Juvelook, and other boosters deeper into dermis.
- Collagen Stimulation: Cold shock proteins activate fibroblast collagen synthesis for firmer skin over 2-4 weeks.
- Zero Downtime: Resume activities immediately. Perfect add-on treatment for tourists visiting Myeongdong.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Immediately | Visible pore tightening, reduced puffiness, and an instant glow as blood circulation normalizes. |
| 24-48 Hours | Post-treatment redness from primary treatment (injections/subcision) fades 50% faster than without cryotherapy. |
| Week 1 | Skin texture feels smoother. Rejuran or Juvelook integration begins at the dermal level. |
| Week 2-3 | Hydration levels peak as polynucleotides stimulate fibroblast activity. Skin appears plumper. |
| Month 1-2 | Collagen remodeling from both cold shock response and skin booster becomes visible. Fine lines soften. |
| Month 3 | Full results from combination protocol. Acne scar patients see maximum improvement from subcision + cryo healing. |

The Science Behind Cryotherapy Facial Treatment
Peer-reviewed research supporting the mechanisms and clinical efficacy of cryotherapy for skin rejuvenation.
Cold-Induced Vasoconstriction and Skin Rejuvenation
Cryotherapy facial treatment exploits the skin’s thermoregulatory response to controlled cold exposure. When epidermal temperature drops below 15 degrees Celsius, sympathetic adrenergic nerves trigger rapid vasoconstriction of dermal arterioles and venules. This immediate response reduces interstitial fluid volume, producing visible depuffing and pore tightening within 2-3 minutes of application. The subsequent rewarming phase (reactive hyperemia) increases local blood flow by 200-400% above baseline, delivering oxygen, nutrients, and growth factors that support tissue repair.
Cold Shock Proteins and Collagen Synthesis
Controlled cold exposure activates cold shock proteins (CSPs), particularly RNA-binding motif protein 3 (RBM3) and cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP). These molecular chaperones play crucial roles in cellular stress response, promoting fibroblast proliferation and extracellular matrix production. Research demonstrates that brief cold exposure at -10 to -20 degrees Celsius upregulates type I and type III procollagen mRNA expression in dermal fibroblasts, providing a scientific basis for the collagen-boosting effects observed clinically after cryotherapy facial treatments.
Anti-Inflammatory Mechanisms of Cryotherapy Facial
The anti-inflammatory effect of cryotherapy facial is mediated through suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines including interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta). This mechanism makes cryotherapy facial particularly effective as a post-procedure treatment, reducing erythema and edema after injectable treatments such as Rejuran, dermal fillers, and RF microneedling. The anti-inflammatory cascade also benefits patients with rosacea-prone skin and post-inflammatory erythema from acne.

What Our Patients Say About Cryotherapy Facial
“I had the Rejuran plus cryotherapy combination the day before my flight home. Zero redness the next morning. My skin looked incredible at the airport.”
“The cryo after subcision was a game changer. My friend who had the same treatment without cryo was swollen for 5 days. I was fine in 2.”
“Such an underrated treatment. The instant glow and pore tightening alone is worth it, and then the boosters kick in over the next few weeks.”
