Stem cell microneedling creates tiny controlled channels in the skin and then applies stem cell-derived serums, such as growth factors or exosomes, to support repair and collagen production. At Egg Clinic in Sinsa, Gangnam, a doctor sets the needle depth and serum for your skin; redness usually fades within one to three days and results build over a course of sessions.

What is stem cell microneedling?
Stem cell microneedling combines two steps. First, a microneedling device makes many tiny, controlled punctures in the skin, which triggers the skin's natural wound-healing response and the production of new collagen and elastin. Second, a regenerative serum containing stem cell-derived ingredients, such as growth factors or exosomes, is applied while the channels are open so it can reach deeper than it would on intact skin.
The combination is designed to improve texture, pores, fine lines and mild scarring. It is a gentler, lower-downtime option than ablative lasers, and it can be upgraded to RF microneedling when more tightening is needed. The doctor chooses the depth and serum according to your skin type and concern.
Who is a good candidate?
- Fine lines and early wrinkles
- Mild to moderate acne scars and uneven texture
- Enlarged pores
- Dull skin or uneven tone
- People who want visible improvement with short downtime
Microneedling should be postponed if you have active acne breakouts, cold sores, eczema or an infection in the area, and during pregnancy. People prone to keloid scarring or taking isotretinoin need to discuss timing with the doctor first. For deeper scars, the doctor may suggest combining it with other acne scar treatments.

What are the results and recovery like?
Right after treatment the skin looks pink to red, similar to mild sunburn, and may feel tight or warm. This usually settles within one to three days, and light flaking can follow. Most people return to normal activities the next day, using gentle skincare and sunscreen. Skin often looks brighter within a week or two, while texture and pores improve gradually over the following weeks as new collagen forms. A course of about three sessions spaced three to four weeks apart is common, and results vary with skin type and the concern being treated.
How the treatment works
-
Consultation
The doctor examines your skin and decides the needle depth, serum and number of sessions.
-
Preparation
The skin is cleansed and numbing cream is applied for about 30 minutes to keep you comfortable.
-
Microneedling & serum
The device creates micro-channels across the treatment area and the stem cell-derived serum is applied.
-
Aftercare
Expect redness for one to three days. Avoid makeup for 24 hours and avoid saunas, exfoliants and strong sun for about a week.
Tips for international patients
- Send skin photos on WhatsApp before your trip so the doctor can suggest a session plan.
- Book your first session early in your stay so any redness settles before photos or flights.
- Bring a broad-spectrum sunscreen and a hat; fresh skin is more sensitive to sun.
- Stop retinol and exfoliating acids a few days before treatment.
Frequently asked questions
Does stem cell microneedling hurt?
Numbing cream is applied beforehand, so most people feel a light scratching or vibrating sensation. Sensitivity is usually greater over bony areas such as the forehead.
How long is the downtime after stem cell microneedling?
Redness usually lasts one to three days, sometimes followed by light flaking. Most people return to everyday activities the next day.
How many sessions of stem cell microneedling do I need?
A course of about three sessions, three to four weeks apart, is common. The doctor adjusts this to your skin and goals.
Is stem cell microneedling good for acne scars?
It can soften shallow and moderate acne scars and improve texture over a course of sessions. Deep scars often need combined treatments, which the doctor can plan.
What is the difference between microneedling and stem cell microneedling?
Standard microneedling relies on the skin's healing response alone. Stem cell microneedling adds a regenerative serum while the channels are open to support recovery and skin quality.
How much does stem cell microneedling cost in Seoul?
The price depends on the serum, area and number of sessions, so the doctor confirms it at consultation. You can view our published prices on the stem cell & PRP price list.
