What is PRP & How does it work?

PRP, the acronym for “Platelet-Rich Plasma”, is a form of treatment that has been around for decades, mainly used in wound and soft tissue healing by physicians. This is because PRP has been found to have regenerative growth properties, and when used on the skin, is able to improve skin texture by minimizing pores, fine wrinkles, acne scars by encouraging skin rejuvenation.

The concentrated blood plasma is obtained by simply drawing 1 - 2 vials of the patient’s own blood and running it in a centrifuge. The centrifuge spins the vial of blood to isolate the plasma and other healing factors, producing the final platelet-rich solution which is then simply reinjected into the patient’s face.

As PRP works to improve on the skin’s healing, it is also commonly combined with other popular treatments such as fat grafting, collagen injections, filler and Botox injections to enhance the final results.

What is the process of PRP like?

First, blood is drawn from the arm. As the blood is being processed in the centrifuge, topical anesthesia (numbing cream) will be applied to the face. After 15 – 20 minutes, the numbing effect would have taken place, and the doctor will re-inject the PRP all over the face and the neck. The actual treatment process often doesn’t take more than 20 minutes.

Benefits of PRP Treatment

  • Non-invasive
  • All natural (uses own blood)
  • Very little to no downtime
  • Very little to no side effects
  • Improves skin texture and tone
  • Improves acne scars
  • Stimulates collagen production

What are the side effects and post-care treatment?

There are no side effects, however some people may experience redness, slight bruising and puffiness for a day or two, due to the use of needles. After PRP treatment, the skin is more tender and it is recommended to stay out of the sun and refrain from going the sauna, hot baths right after the treatment.

How long do I need to stay in Korea for k-beauty anti-aging (prp)?+

What's included in the price for k-beauty anti-aging (prp)?+
Your MISOODA quote is itemised and transparent. It typically covers the consultation, the procedure and surgeon's fee, and, depending on the clinic, pre-operative tests, anaesthesia and post-op follow-up.

Yes — cosmetic procedures include 10% VAT in the quoted price, and since January 1, 2026 it is no longer refundable. Medically necessary treatment is VAT-exempt, so it never carried this tax. Always compare final all-in quotes; MISOODA quotes are itemised and final.
How can I save on plastic surgery in Korea now that the tax refund ended?+
Pay what locals pay. Some agencies' foreigner prices exceed local prices by far more than the old 6–8% refund ever returned. MISOODA guarantees the same price as Korean locals, a free interpreter and concierge, and an itemised quote within 24 hours. Tax-free shopping on goods like cosmetics still works as usual.
