Acne Treatment in Myeongdong Seoul — Clear Skin Starts Here
RE:BERRY Myeongdong delivers advanced acne treatment combining Potenza RF microneedling, medical-grade exosomes, and professional extraction protocols. Our dermatologists target active acne, excess sebum, and post-inflammatory marks in a single comprehensive session — designed for both locals and international visitors seeking clear, healthy skin in the heart of Seoul.
What Is Professional Acne Treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong?
Professional acne treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong combines Potenza RF microneedling with exosome therapy and medical extraction to eliminate active breakouts, reduce sebum production, and prevent scarring. The Acne All-Kill Package at ₩690,000 includes Basic Acne Facial, Potenza RF, Exosome 2cc, and 15 minutes of Dermio Care — a multi-layer approach addressing acne from surface to dermis.
Unlike basic facials or over-the-counter products that only address surface symptoms, RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s acne protocol targets the four root causes of acne: excess sebum production, bacterial proliferation, follicular hyperkeratinization, and inflammation. Our board-certified dermatologists use Potenza RF microneedling to deliver exosomes directly into the dermal layer, stimulating cellular repair while controlling oil production. Each treatment plan is customized following thorough skin analysis to match your specific acne type — whether hormonal, cystic, comedonal, or inflammatory.

How Acne Treatment Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
Our four-step acne protocol is designed to clear existing breakouts and prevent future ones.
Skin Analysis & Acne Mapping
Dr. Baek Seung-Jae performs a comprehensive skin analysis using magnified imaging to classify your acne type (comedonal, papulopustular, nodulocystic, or hormonal). This assessment determines the exact protocol, extraction intensity, and device settings for your condition. The consultation also evaluates whether combination therapy with laser toning would accelerate results.
Professional Extraction & Acne Facial
A medical-grade acne facial begins with Aqua Peel deep cleansing to remove surface debris and excess sebum. Trained aestheticians perform gentle but thorough extraction of comedones and pustules under sterile conditions. This step clears clogged pores that topical medications cannot reach, preparing the skin for deeper therapeutic treatment with RF energy.
Potenza RF + Exosome Delivery
The Potenza RF microneedling device creates controlled micro-channels in the skin while delivering radiofrequency energy to destroy acne-causing bacteria (C. acnes) and shrink overactive sebaceous glands. Simultaneously, 2cc of exosome solution is infused through these channels, providing growth factors that accelerate healing and reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Dermio Care & Recovery Protocol
A 15-minute Dermio Care session concludes the treatment, using LED phototherapy and soothing serums to calm inflammation and initiate skin repair. You receive a personalized aftercare kit with instructions in your preferred language. Most patients return to daily activities the same day with only mild redness lasting 24-48 hours.

The Science Behind Acne Treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
Peer-reviewed research supporting RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s multi-layer acne treatment protocol.
Understanding Acne Pathogenesis
Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the pilosebaceous unit involving four interconnected pathogenic factors: androgen-driven sebaceous gland hyperactivity, abnormal follicular keratinization, Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) colonization, and immune-mediated inflammation. Modern dermatological approaches target multiple factors simultaneously rather than addressing them in isolation. RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s Acne All-Kill protocol uses Potenza RF microneedling to deliver controlled thermal energy at the dermal level, which achieves two critical goals: thermal destruction of C. acnes colonies and controlled damage to hyperactive sebaceous glands, inducing gland atrophy and reducing sebum output.
Radiofrequency Microneedling for Acne
The Potenza RF microneedling system delivers bipolar radiofrequency energy through insulated or non-insulated microneedles at controlled depths of 0.5-3.5mm. For acne treatment, the insulated tip configuration is preferred as it concentrates thermal energy at the needle tip, sparing the epidermis while targeting the sebaceous glands at 1.5-2.5mm depth. Cho et al. (2012) demonstrated that fractional microneedling RF achieved a 74% reduction in acne lesion count after three sessions, with a 64% reduction in sebum excretion rate measured by Sebumeter. The thermal injury zone at the sebaceous gland level triggers controlled apoptosis, permanently reducing gland volume without the systemic side effects associated with isotretinoin.
Exosome Therapy in Acne Management
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles (30-150nm) derived from mesenchymal stem cells that carry bioactive molecules including growth factors (TGF-beta, VEGF, PDGF), anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10, IL-4), and microRNAs that regulate cellular behavior. When delivered into acne-affected skin through RF microneedling channels, exosomes modulate the local inflammatory response by suppressing NF-kB-mediated pro-inflammatory signaling while promoting M2 macrophage polarization. Kim et al. (2022) showed that exosome-treated acne lesions demonstrated 56% faster resolution compared to RF microneedling alone, with significantly reduced post-inflammatory erythema (PIE) scores at 4 weeks. This dual mechanism — inflammation control plus accelerated tissue regeneration — makes exosome-enhanced RF the current gold standard for acne treatment in aesthetic dermatology.
LED Phototherapy as Adjunctive Treatment
The Dermio Care component of RE:BERRY’s protocol utilizes dual-wavelength LED phototherapy. Blue light at 415nm generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) within C. acnes cells by exciting endogenous porphyrins (coproporphyrin III), causing bacterial photoinactivation. Red light at 633nm penetrates deeper to modulate fibroblast activity, reduce inflammation through cytochrome c oxidase activation, and promote wound healing. Papageorgiou et al. (2000) found that combined blue-red LED therapy produced a 76% reduction in inflammatory acne lesions over 12 weeks, outperforming blue light alone (58%) and benzoyl peroxide (60%).
