Injection room for PRP injections at Umi Clinic, Myeongdong — **3 sessions** Gradual improvement over 2–3 months

Quick answer

What are PRP injections?

PRP injections place platelet-rich plasma from your own blood precisely into a target area. After a small blood draw, platelets are concentrated by centrifuge; their growth factors are then injected in small amounts to support collagen, blood flow and tissue repair where it is needed most.

Common targets in Seoul are crepey under-eye skin, depressed acne scars, fine lines and areas of thin skin. Because the treatment uses your own plasma, allergic reactions are very unlikely. For full-face surface treatment see the vampire facial.

Before & after

How PRP injections repair targeted areas

FAQ

PRP Injections questions

PRP injections or vampire facial?

PRP injections target specific areas such as under the eyes or scars. The vampire facial spreads PRP across the face with microneedling for overall texture.

Is it suitable under the eyes?

Yes, it is a common use for crepey or thin under-eye skin. Bruising is more likely in this delicate area.

How many sessions are needed?

Usually 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, then maintenance as needed.

Can I fly after PRP injections?

Yes, usually the next day. Swelling may be noticeable for a day or two.

Do foreigners pay more?

No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
