Oily Skin Treatment Pore Minimizing in Myeongdong Seoul
Take control of excess oil and enlarged pores with RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s advanced oily skin protocols. Potenza RF microneedling targets sebaceous glands at their source, while Aqua Peel and skin boosters restore skin balance. First visit Potenza from ₩249,000.
What Is the Best Treatment for Oily Skin?
The most effective treatment for oily skin combines Potenza RF microneedling to reduce sebaceous gland activity at the source, Aqua Peel for deep pore extraction, and skin boosters like Juvelook to restore hydration balance. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, the Pore All-Kill Package (₩490,000) addresses all three aspects of oily skin: excess sebum production, clogged pores, and impaired skin barrier.
Oily skin results from overactive sebaceous glands, which produce excess sebum that leads to enlarged pores, acne, and a persistent shine. Traditional approaches like topical retinoids and salicylic acid provide surface-level improvement but do not address the root cause — the sebaceous glands themselves. Modern Korean dermatology treats oily skin at the glandular level using RF microneedling (Potenza), which delivers controlled radiofrequency energy directly to the depth of the sebaceous glands (typically 0.5-1.5mm). This selectively reduces gland activity without damaging the skin surface. Combined with Aqua Peel for extraction and regenerative skin boosters, this multi-modal approach produces lasting improvement in oil control, pore size, and overall skin texture.

How Oily Skin Treatment Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
A comprehensive four-step protocol to address every aspect of oily skin.
Skin Analysis & Consultation
Dr. Baek or Dr. Son evaluates your skin type, sebum production level, pore condition, and any acne activity. A personalized treatment plan is created targeting your specific oily skin concerns.
Deep Pore Cleansing (Aqua Peel)
Aqua Peel hydradermabrasion extracts sebum plugs, blackheads, and dead skin cells from pores using a vortex suction system. This step clears clogged pores and prepares the skin for deeper treatment.
RF Microneedling (Potenza)
Potenza delivers bipolar radiofrequency energy through insulated or non-insulated microneedles at controlled depths (0.5-3.5mm). Energy targets sebaceous glands, stimulates collagen remodeling, and tightens pores from within.
Regenerative Finishing
Juvelook or Exosome skin booster is applied to stimulate barrier repair and long-term sebum regulation. Finished with regenerative laser (LDM or Genesis) for calming and collagen stimulation.
What to Expect from Oily Skin Treatment
- Sebum Reduction at Source: Potenza RF targets sebaceous glands directly, reducing oil production by up to 50-70% over multiple sessions.
- Visible Pore Minimizing: Collagen remodeling around pore walls causes measurable pore shrinkage within 2-4 weeks.
- Deep Pore Cleansing: Aqua Peel removes deep-seated sebum plugs and blackheads that manual extraction cannot reach.
- Skin Barrier Restoration: Skin boosters repair the damaged moisture barrier that triggers compensatory oil overproduction.
- Acne Prevention: Reduced sebum and clean pores significantly decrease acne breakout frequency and severity.
- Long-Lasting Results: Multi-session protocols produce progressive, cumulative improvement in oil control.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Day 1-3 | Mild redness from RF microneedling. Skin feels cleaner from Aqua Peel. Some dryness as sebum production adjusts. |
| Week 1 | Redness resolved. Skin texture feels smoother. Initial reduction in oily shine noticeable. |
| Week 2-3 | Pores begin appearing smaller. Sebum production noticeably reduced. Skin looks more matte. |

The Science Behind Oily Skin Treatment
Evidence-based research supporting RF microneedling and multi-modal approaches for oily skin management.
Sebaceous Gland Biology and Oily Skin
Sebaceous glands are holocrine glands distributed throughout facial skin, with highest density on the forehead, nose, and chin (T-zone). They are regulated by androgens, particularly dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which stimulates sebocyte proliferation and lipogenesis. Oily skin (seborrhea) occurs when glands produce sebum in excess of what the skin surface can manage, leading to pore dilation, comedone formation, and acne. Sebaceous gland activity and size are the primary determinants of pore visibility.
RF Microneedling for Sebum Control
Potenza RF microneedling delivers bipolar radiofrequency energy through insulated needles at controlled depths. When the needle tips are positioned at the level of the sebaceous glands (0.5-1.5mm), the RF energy creates targeted thermal zones around the glands, reducing their activity and size. Shin et al. (2019) demonstrated a 43% reduction in sebum production after 3 sessions of RF microneedling, with corresponding pore size reduction visible on dermoscopy.
Multi-Modal Approach
The combination of RF microneedling with Aqua Peel hydradermabrasion and regenerative skin boosters addresses oily skin at multiple levels: mechanical pore cleansing (Aqua Peel), glandular activity reduction (Potenza RF), and barrier repair with hydration balance (Juvelook/Exosome). This multi-modal approach produces superior outcomes compared to any single modality, as demonstrated by Kim et al. (2021) who reported 67% patient satisfaction improvement with combination protocols versus 39% with RF microneedling alone.

Frequently Asked Questions About Oily Skin Treatment
Expert answers about oily skin treatments at RE:BERRY Myeongdong Seoul.
RE:BERRY Myeongdong offers Potenza from ₩249,000 (first visit), the Pore All-Kill Package at ₩490,000, and the Acne All-Kill Package at ₩690,000. All prices exclude VAT.
Potenza RF microneedling is considered the gold standard for oily skin in Korean dermatology. It reduces sebaceous gland activity at the source. For comprehensive results, the Pore All-Kill Package combines Potenza with Aqua Peel and Juvelook skin booster.
Most patients see significant improvement after 3-5 Potenza sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart. The Pore All-Kill Package provides immediate visible improvement in a single session, with best results after a series.
Excellent. Potenza delivers RF energy directly to the depth of the sebaceous glands, reducing their activity by 40-70% over a course of treatments. It also stimulates collagen to tighten pores structurally.
Yes. By reducing excess sebum (the primary trigger for acne) and clearing clogged pores, oily skin treatment significantly reduces acne breakout frequency. The Acne All-Kill Package (₩690,000) specifically targets active acne alongside oil control.
Mild redness for 1-3 days. Tiny needle marks fade within 24 hours. Most patients return to normal activities the next day. Makeup can be applied after 24 hours.
Aqua Peel is a hydradermabrasion treatment that uses vortex suction to extract sebum, blackheads, and dead skin cells from pores. It is the first step in our oily skin protocol, preparing the skin for deeper treatment with Potenza.
Absolutely. Single-session packages like the Pore All-Kill Package deliver visible results in one visit. RE:BERRY is 2 minutes from Myeongdong Station with 8-language support.
No. The treatment targets overactive sebaceous glands without eliminating normal sebum production. Skin boosters like Juvelook restore hydration balance, so your skin feels balanced rather than dry.
Individual sessions provide 4-8 weeks of improvement. A series of 3-5 sessions provides 6-12 months of sustained oil control as sebaceous glands progressively reduce in size.
Yes. Popular combinations include oily skin treatment with Botox for wrinkles, nose filler for contouring, or Ultherapy for lifting.
Yes. Potenza offers multiple tip options and adjustable depths/energy levels. Your doctor customizes settings for your skin sensitivity. The non-insulated tip is gentler for sensitive skin types.
Oily skin results from overactive sebaceous glands, triggered by genetics, hormones (androgens), stress, humidity, and improper skincare. Korean dermatology addresses the root cause (gland activity) rather than just the symptoms.
Korean dermatology takes a multi-modal approach — combining device-based treatments (Potenza, Aqua Peel), regenerative skin boosters (Juvelook, Exosome), and barrier repair. Western approaches often rely primarily on topical products and chemical peels.
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. Discontinue retinoids 3-5 days before treatment. Avoid direct sun exposure 48 hours prior. No other special preparation needed.
Use gentle cleanser and moisturizer for 3 days. Apply SPF 30+ daily. Avoid retinoids and AHA/BHA for 5-7 days. No saunas or intense exercise for 48 hours. Your doctor provides detailed instructions.
Yes. Men often have oilier skin due to higher androgen levels. Potenza and Aqua Peel are effective for all genders. RE:BERRY sees many male patients for oily skin and pore concerns.
Regular microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen. Potenza adds bipolar radiofrequency energy through the needles, providing both mechanical and thermal stimulation. The RF energy directly reduces sebaceous gland activity — something standard microneedling cannot do.
The Dual Toning Package (PicoSure + Genesis, ₩259,000) improves skin texture and tone. PicoSure targets pigmentation and stimulates collagen. Genesis provides gentle dermal heating. Ideal for oily skin maintenance between Potenza sessions.
Yes. Potenza RF microneedling is effective for both active oily skin and post-acne scarring. The collagen remodeling effect fills depressed scars while the RF reduces oil production. The Subcision + Juvelook + Pico Fraxel package (₩1,090,000) targets stubborn acne scars.
Yes. The ₩249,000 Potenza pricing is a first-visit trial price available once per patient. Subsequent sessions are available at regular pricing or as part of a package.
Juvelook is a PDLLA (poly-D,L-lactic acid) skin booster that stimulates collagen production and restores skin barrier function. In oily skin treatment, it helps rebalance hydration so sebaceous glands reduce compensatory overproduction.
Yes. After consultation, Potenza and Aqua Peel treatments can be performed immediately. The Pore All-Kill Package takes approximately 60-90 minutes.
All treatments performed by Dr. Baek (license 143338) or Dr. Son (license 125783). Potenza settings customized per patient. Genuine treatment tips used for every session.
