Exosome in Seoul

Medically reviewed by Kim Yunseok, CEO / Representative Director · Last updated July 2026

Exosome skin boosters have become a popular add-on treatment for people visiting Korea's aesthetic clinics, and searches for exosome seoul options continue to grow among international visitors who want a simple, non-surgical way to refresh their skin during a short trip. At DERNA Clinic, located in Seocho-gu, the exosome booster is offered in a 5cc dose and can be delivered using either an MTS device or a Potenza tip, depending on what the treating doctor recommends for your skin condition.

What it is

Exosomes are tiny cell-derived particles that are used in cosmetic skin boosters to support the skin's surface appearance. In a clinical setting, the exosome solution is applied to the skin and delivered more deeply using a mechanical or energy-based device — at DERNA Clinic this is done through microneedling therapy (MTS) or the Potenza radiofrequency microneedling tip. The goal of this type of booster is generally to support skin texture, hydration, and overall radiance. As with most skin boosters, individual results vary and no specific outcome can be guaranteed.

Who it suits

This treatment is typically considered by people who want a low-downtime way to address dullness, uneven texture, or early signs of skin fatigue, often before an event or simply as part of a regular skincare routine. Many visitors researching exosome seoul treatments are looking for something that can be scheduled within a single trip, since the procedure itself is quick and does not require anesthesia beyond what the delivery device may need. It may also suit those who have tried basic hydrating treatments and want to explore a different booster option, discussed in consultation with the clinic's doctor.

Who should avoid it

As with any injectable or device-based skin treatment, this booster is not suitable for everyone. People with active skin infections, open wounds, or significant inflammation in the treatment area are generally advised to wait until the skin has healed. Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a history of keloid scarring, or have known allergies to skin booster ingredients should discuss this directly with the treating doctor before booking. People currently using certain topical medications, such as strong retinoids, may also be asked to pause use beforehand. A short consultation at DERNA Clinic is the appropriate way to confirm suitability, since medical history and skin condition vary from person to person.

How the session goes

A typical visit starts with a consultation where the doctor reviews your skin concerns, medical history, and expectations. The skin is cleansed, and depending on your comfort level, a topical numbing cream may be applied before the procedure. The doctor then delivers the 5cc exosome solution using either the MTS device or the Potenza tip, working across the treatment area in passes designed to distribute the product evenly. The procedure itself is usually completed within a short in-clinic visit, though exact timing can vary depending on the treatment area and the device used. Patients are usually able to see the doctor answer questions before and after the session.

Downtime and recovery

Downtime after an exosome booster session is generally mild compared to more invasive procedures. It is common to notice some redness, mild swelling, or small pinpoint marks on the skin immediately afterward, particularly if a microneedling device was used. These effects typically settle within a day or two, though this can differ from person to person depending on skin sensitivity and the device setting used. Patients are usually advised to avoid direct sun exposure, saunas, and heavy exercise for a short period after treatment, and to follow any aftercare instructions given by the clinic, such as gentle cleansing and use of sunscreen. If unusual swelling, prolonged redness, or signs of infection appear, contacting the clinic promptly is recommended.

Pricing

The exosome booster at DERNA Clinic is priced at 230,000 KRW for a 5cc treatment. This price reflects the treatment itself; consultation fees and VAT may apply separately and can vary, so it is best to confirm the total cost directly with the clinic before your appointment. Because delivery method — MTS or Potenza — may affect the overall session, patients are encouraged to ask during consultation whether any additional charge applies for the device used.

Safety

DERNA Clinic is staffed by a team of medical doctors, including specialists such as an orthopedic surgeon and an otolaryngologist with a focus on nose and face contouring, alongside several general M.D.s with varied clinical backgrounds. Treatments are administered by the clinic's doctors following a consultation. As with any cosmetic procedure, there are possible side effects, including temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or, rarely, allergic reaction, and results are not guaranteed to be identical for every patient. Patients are encouraged to disclose their full medical history, including allergies and current medications, so the treating doctor can assess suitability. If you are considering an exosome seoul treatment while traveling, it is worth scheduling a consultation in advance and allowing some flexibility in your itinerary in case follow-up is recommended.
