Vampire Facial — Devices & Protocol at RE:BERRY Hongdae
How the Vampire Facial Hongdae Seoul Procedure Works at RE:BERRY
Candidacy & Blood Draw (10-15 minutes)
Your assigned doctor screens candidacy and draws 10-20ml of your own blood; because PRP is autologous, 100% of the platelets used are your own, and single-use sterile equipment is confirmed before any step begins.
PRP Preparation (10-15 minutes)
The blood is spun in a centrifuge for 5-10 minutes to concentrate platelets rich in growth factors, prepared under sterile handling; this proper autologous blood handling is the core safety step, since unsterile practice has caused documented infections elsewhere.
Microneedling + PRP Delivery (15-20 minutes)
Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels that trigger the skin’s collagen-induction response and help the PRP reach deeper layers; the microneedling step and the PRP each contribute separately to texture and scar softening.
Aftercare & Session Plan (5-10 minutes)
The doctor sets a short 3-session plan with 2-4 week spacing, plus sun-protection and travel-timing guidance, because collagen-driven change builds gradually over weeks to months under the same licensed physician.

Scientific Evidence
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE
Vampire Facial (PRP Microneedling) — peer-reviewed references
Peer-reviewed evidence for combining microneedling with platelet-rich plasma is promising but mixed, and RE:BERRY presents it honestly. A 2022 meta-analysis of controlled trials found that adding PRP to microneedling improved atrophic acne scars more than microneedling alone, and split-face studies (including one with 127 participants) report added benefit for facial rejuvenation. Reviews of PRP in skin rejuvenation confirm biological plausibility through concentrated growth factors, while noting variable protocols and outcomes across studies.
Safety literature is clear that responsible practice depends on single-use sterile needles and proper autologous blood handling; documented infection clusters have followed unsterile PRP technique, which is why sterile protocol is non-negotiable. A meta-analysis of 8 Asian randomized trials (n=612) supports combined PRP and energy-based microneedling for acne scars, and controlled comparisons guide conservative settings for Fitzpatrick IV-VI skin across a short 3-session series.

Will the same doctor treat me throughout my PRP plan at RE:BERRY?
1 doctor at RE:BERRY Hongdae stays with you from the first 60-90 minute consultation through each vampire facial session and the 4-week WhatsApp follow-up. Continuity matters because candidacy, sterile handling, and a 3-session plan must be tracked consistently across visits.
Does a vampire facial actually work, and what does the evidence say?
1 honest answer at RE:BERRY Hongdae: evidence is promising for atrophic acne scars, where a 2022 meta-analysis showed benefit, but overall it is mixed and results vary. Korean clinics run higher PRP volume than most Western markets, so the doctor sets realistic expectations from many documented cases rather than overpromising.
How much does a vampire facial cost in Hongdae Seoul in 2026?
1 published quote at RE:BERRY Hongdae covers your vampire facial session, shown as transparent pricing before you book. Seoul clinics run higher PRP and microneedling procedure volume than most Western markets, updated for 2026, with the full 3-session plan quoted up front.
Are vampire facials cheaper in Korea than in the US or Japan?
1 transparent quote at RE:BERRY Hongdae is published before booking rather than a price comparison. What Seoul offers over most US and Japan clinics is far higher PRP microneedling volume and more experience than smaller Western practices, giving Korea more documented cases and refined technique per doctor.
What is the difference between a vampire facial, PRP, and microneedling?
3 terms overlap at RE:BERRY Hongdae: microneedling makes micro-channels for collagen, PRP is your concentrated platelets, and a vampire facial combines the two. Each step contributes separately, which the doctor explains so you understand what is doing the work.
| Element | Role |
|---|---|
| Microneedling | Collagen micro-channels |
| PRP | Growth factors |
| Vampire facial | Both combined |
How is the blood drawn and prepared for a vampire facial in Seoul?
1 small blood draw at RE:BERRY Hongdae is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate your own platelets, prepared under sterile handling. Because PRP is autologous, only your own blood is used, and this proper handling is the core safety step of the procedure.
Why choose a boutique clinic over a chain for a vampire facial in Seoul?
1 boutique advantage stands out at RE:BERRY Hongdae: candidacy and sterile technique are reviewed in 60-90 minutes versus 10-15 at a higher-volume Seoul chain. Boutique clinics like this run more screening time per patient than most walk-in chains.
| Feature | Boutique | Chain |

Is a vampire facial safe, and how are infection risks controlled?
2 controls make it safe at RE:BERRY Hongdae: single-use sterile needles and proper autologous blood handling for every vampire facial.

How many sessions of PRP microneedling are usually needed in Hongdae?
3 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart are typical at RE:BERRY Hongdae, though the exact count depends on your concern and your transparent pricing plan.
