What to Expect at Your Myeongdong Acne Treatment Visit
A step-by-step walkthrough of your acne treatment experience at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Arrival & Multilingual Consultation
Walk in or arrive at your scheduled time at RE:BERRY Myeongdong, 2 minutes from Exit 6. Fill out a brief medical questionnaire in your language (8 available). Dr. Seung-Jae Baek or Dr. Hoon-Sung Son examines your skin under magnification, photographs your acne, grades severity, and explains the recommended protocol with transparent pricing. No obligation to proceed.
Cleansing, Extraction & Aqua Peel
Your treatment begins with thorough skin cleansing followed by medical-grade extraction. Trained clinical aestheticians clear comedones and pustule contents using sterile instruments under magnification. Aqua Peel water-jet suction removes residual sebum and dead cells from pores. This step takes 20-30 minutes and creates a clean treatment field for subsequent energy delivery.
Potenza RF + Exosome Energy Treatment
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek performs Potenza RF microneedling at customized depth settings targeting your specific acne type. Insulated microneedles deliver radiofrequency energy to inflamed sebaceous glands while sparing the epidermis. Immediately after, Exosome 2cc is applied through the open microchannels for direct delivery of anti-inflammatory growth factors. Treatment takes 30-40 minutes.
Dermio Care Recovery & Departure
Dermio Care LED phototherapy (blue + red + near-infrared wavelengths) with oxygen infusion is applied for 15 minutes to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing. You receive a printed aftercare card in your language, SPF product, and follow-up contact information (KakaoTalk/WhatsApp/LINE). Total visit time: approximately 90 minutes. Walk out looking slightly pink and return to your hotel or shopping in Myeongdong.

The Science Behind RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s Acne Protocol
Peer-reviewed research supporting each component of our Myeongdong acne treatment approach.
Professional Extraction: Evidence for the Korean Standard
Professional comedone extraction remains controversial in Western dermatology but is standard practice in Korean clinics based on controlled clinical data. The rationale centers on the foreign body response: retained comedonal contents perpetuate the inflammatory cascade that drives acne progression. By physically removing the inflammatory trigger, the subsequent healing process is accelerated. A Korean clinical study by Kang et al. (2017) demonstrated that patients receiving professional extraction plus energy treatment showed 25% faster lesion clearance at week 4 compared to energy treatment alone, with lower rates of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation attributable to shorter total inflammation duration.
Aqua Peel Technology: Hydrodermabrasion for Acne
Aqua Peel (hydrodermabrasion) uses a vortex-fusion delivery system to simultaneously exfoliate, extract, and hydrate the skin. The device creates a gentle vacuum that removes pore contents while infusing salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and antibacterial solutions. Park and Kim (2019) published a randomized trial demonstrating that hydrodermabrasion pretreatment improved RF microneedling efficacy by 18% for acne patients, as clearing pore debris before energy delivery allows deeper penetration and more uniform thermal distribution. This finding supports RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s protocol of Aqua Peel before Potenza.
Bipolar RF Microneedling for Active Acne Management
Potenza’s bipolar radiofrequency delivered through insulated microneedles creates controlled thermal injury at the depth of sebaceous glands and acne-causing follicular units. The thermal effect simultaneously damages C. acnes bacterial colonies (which are heat-sensitive above 55 degrees C) and induces partial atrophy of hyperactive sebaceous glands, addressing two of four acne pathogenesis factors in a single pass. Shin et al. (2020) conducted a multicenter Korean study of 120 acne patients treated with insulated RF microneedling and reported 68.4% mean improvement in Global Acne Grading Score at 12 weeks, with the highest responder rate among inflammatory papulopustular acne cases.
Exosome Therapy: Accelerating Post-Treatment Recovery
Exosome application through RF microneedle channels represents a paradigm of Korean regenerative dermatology. The open channels serve as transdermal delivery routes for nano-sized vesicles containing TGF-beta, VEGF, and anti-inflammatory interleukins that modulate the wound healing cascade. Cho et al. (2021) demonstrated that exosome-enhanced RF microneedling reduced erythema duration by 38% and increased collagen type III synthesis by 27% compared to RF alone in acne patients. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, Exosome 2cc is included in the Acne All-Kill Package specifically for this recovery-enhancing purpose.
LED Phototherapy: The Dermio Care Evidence Base
Post-treatment LED phototherapy (blue 415nm + red 633nm) has been shown to extend the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects of the primary treatment. Papageorgiou et al. (2000) established that blue light phototherapy kills C. acnes through porphyrin photodynamic activation, while red light reduces inflammatory cytokine production. Combined blue-red LED therapy achieves 76% mean improvement in inflammatory acne lesions at 12 weeks. RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s Dermio Care incorporates these wavelengths alongside oxygen infusion to create optimal post-treatment healing conditions.

What Patients Say About Acne Treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
“I walked in without an appointment on a Saturday afternoon. Within 20 minutes I was in consultation, and 90 minutes later I walked out with the Acne All-Kill treatment done. The convenience of Myeongdong location plus 365-day availability was exactly what I needed during my 3-day Seoul trip.”
“The extraction at RE:BERRY Myeongdong was nothing like the painful squeezing at spas back home. The Aqua Peel was gentle and the manual extraction was precise. Combined with Potenza and the LED recovery, my skin was noticeably calmer within 48 hours.”
“Dr. Son explained my acne in simple English and showed me exactly which areas needed Potenza versus toning. He recommended the ₩259,000 Dual Toning for my post-acne marks instead of the more expensive option. That honest approach made me trust RE:BERRY completely.”
