Acne Treatment in Myeongdong Seoul
RE:BERRY Myeongdong provides comprehensive acne treatment combining professional extraction, Potenza RF microneedling, PicoSure and Genesis dual laser toning, exosome 2cc biostimulation, and Dermio Care LED therapy to eliminate active breakouts, reduce oil production, and prevent scarring. Acne treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong starts from ₩259,000 for the Dual Toning Package, with the complete Acne All-Kill Package at ₩690,000 at our 365-day clinic with 8-language support, 2 minutes from Myeongdong Station.
What Is the Best Acne Treatment in Myeongdong Seoul?
Acne treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong uses a multi-device protocol combining Potenza RF to shrink sebaceous glands, exosome 2cc to accelerate healing, professional extraction, and Dermio Care LED therapy, clearing 70-85% of inflammatory acne over 3-5 sessions with the Acne All-Kill Package at ₩690,000.
Acne treatment in Myeongdong Seoul has moved beyond single-approach solutions into sophisticated multi-device protocols that address every root cause of acne simultaneously. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, acne treatment targets the four pillars of acne pathology: excess sebum production, bacterial proliferation, follicular hyperkeratinization, and chronic inflammation. Rather than relying on oral antibiotics that build resistance over time, RE:BERRY’s approach uses device-based acne treatment to deliver targeted energy and biologics directly to the affected tissue layers. Head Director Seung-Jae Baek classifies each patient’s acne severity on the Korean Acne Grading System (KAGS) scale and designs a customized protocol accordingly. Mild acne (grades 1-2) responds well to the Dual Toning Package combining PicoSure and Genesis lasers at ₩259,000 per session. Moderate-to-severe acne (grades 3-4) requires the comprehensive Acne All-Kill Package featuring Potenza RF microneedling, exosome 2cc infusion, professional extraction facial, and Dermio Care LED therapy. For patients whose acne has already left scarring, a transition to acne scar treatments including subcision and Juvelook is planned after active breakouts are controlled. This staged acne treatment approach at RE:BERRY Myeongdong ensures both clearance and long-term skin health.

How Acne Treatment Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
A 4-step protocol combining clinical extraction, RF energy, biostimulation, and laser therapy for comprehensive acne treatment.
Acne Severity Assessment & Treatment Selection
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek examines your skin under magnification to grade acne severity using the Korean Acne Grading System (KAGS): grade 1 (comedonal), grade 2 (papular), grade 3 (pustular), and grade 4 (nodular/cystic). He identifies the dominant acne triggers — hormonal, stress-related, or environmental — and checks for concurrent conditions like rosacea or perioral dermatitis that require modified acne treatment approaches. Skin tone assessment ensures laser safety for your Fitzpatrick type. Based on this analysis, he recommends the Dual Toning Package for grades 1-2 or the Acne All-Kill Package for grades 3-4. The 15-20 minute consultation is available in 8 languages at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Professional Extraction & Aqua Peel Deep Cleansing
For the Acne All-Kill Package, the acne treatment begins with a basic acne facial featuring professional extraction. A trained esthetician uses sterile comedone extractors and Aqua Peel hydro-dermabrasion to remove blackheads, whiteheads, and purulent material from inflammatory lesions under aseptic conditions. This step immediately clears blocked follicles so that subsequent energy-based treatments penetrate more effectively. An antimicrobial solution is applied post-extraction to reduce bacterial load. For the Dual Toning Package, a gentler cleansing protocol prepares the skin surface without aggressive extraction.
Potenza RF + Exosome Multi-Device Acne Treatment
Potenza RF microneedling delivers bipolar radiofrequency energy through 49 insulated microneedles at 1.0-2.0mm depth, heating the dermis to 55-65 degrees Celsius. This thermal energy achieves three acne treatment effects simultaneously: destruction of overactive sebaceous glands, reduction of Cutibacterium acnes colonies through photothermal damage, and downregulation of inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-alpha. Immediately after Potenza, exosome 2cc derived from human adipose stem cells is infused through the microchannels, delivering 50 billion+ growth factor-rich vesicles directly into the treated dermis. These exosomes accelerate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and normalize sebocyte function. For Dual Toning patients, PicoSure 755nm and Genesis 1064nm lasers are used instead to target pigmentation and bacteria through photoacoustic and photothermal mechanisms.
Dermio Care LED Therapy & Aftercare Protocol
Every acne treatment session at RE:BERRY Myeongdong concludes with 15 minutes of Dermio Care LED phototherapy. The 633nm red light wavelength penetrates 4-6mm into the dermis, stimulating mitochondrial ATP production to accelerate cellular repair while its anti-inflammatory effect calms post-treatment redness within hours. Blue LED at 415nm provides additional antibacterial action against remaining C. acnes colonies. A barrier-repair cream and medical-grade SPF are applied. Your aftercare coordinator provides a written guide in your language covering the 48-hour no-sauna, no-alcohol, no-heavy-exercise protocol and recommends a gentle, non-comedogenic skincare regimen between sessions. Follow-up acne treatment sessions are scheduled 2-4 weeks apart.
What to Expect from Acne Treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
- Multi-Mechanism Clearance: RF thermal destruction + exosome anti-inflammation + extraction + LED therapy attacks all 4 acne causes simultaneously.

The Science Behind Acne Treatment at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting the multi-device acne treatment protocols used at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Radiofrequency Microneedling for Acne Vulgaris
Fractional radiofrequency (RF) microneedling has emerged as a highly effective acne treatment modality that targets the sebaceous gland directly. By delivering bipolar RF energy at controlled depths through insulated microneedles, the technology selectively heats and partially ablates hyperactive sebaceous glands without damaging the overlying epidermis. A randomized controlled study of 25 patients with moderate-to-severe acne demonstrated that insulated RF microneedling achieved a 64% reduction in sebum secretion rate and 83% improvement in acne lesion count after 4 sessions, with results maintained at 6-month follow-up. The insulated needle tip design ensures therapeutic energy delivery exclusively at the predetermined depth, a critical safety feature for acne treatment on Asian skin types prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Exosome Therapy in Dermatological Applications
Exosomes — nanoscale extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells — carry cargo including growth factors, cytokines, mRNA, and microRNA that modulate cellular behavior in recipient tissues. When applied to acne-affected skin, exosomes downregulate pro-inflammatory pathways (NF-kB, MAPK) while upregulating anti-inflammatory cytokines like IL-10 and TGF-beta. A 2023 study demonstrated that adipose-derived stem cell exosomes reduced acne-associated inflammation by 78% and accelerated wound closure by 65% compared to controls. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, exosome infusion through Potenza RF microchannels ensures direct dermal delivery of these regenerative vesicles as part of comprehensive acne treatment.

LED Phototherapy for Acne Management
LED phototherapy at specific wavelengths provides a non-thermal adjunct to energy-based acne treatment. Blue light (415nm) excites endogenous porphyrins within C. acnes bacteria, generating reactive oxygen species that destroy the bacterial cell membrane. Red light (633nm) penetrates deeper to modulate inflammatory mediators, stimulate fibroblast activity, and accelerate tissue repair. A systematic review of 14 randomized controlled trials found that combination blue-red LED therapy achieved 76% reduction in inflammatory acne lesions over 4-8 weeks, with no reported adverse effects. The Dermio Care device at RE:BERRY Myeongdong delivers both wavelengths simultaneously during the post-treatment calming phase of every acne treatment session.

The convergence of RF thermal sebaceous ablation, exosome-mediated biological modulation, and LED photobiomodulation in a single acne treatment protocol represents the most evidence-based non-pharmacological approach currently available for moderate-to-severe inflammatory acne.
