Re2O in Myeongdong & Euljiro at Val:U Dermatology Clinic
Re2O is an injectable made from human-derived collagen, used to improve enlarged pores, shallow acne scars and uneven skin texture.

Improvement tends to be gradual, and individual results vary.

Pores that look stretched and scars that leave the surface uneven are closely linked: both often reflect weakened collagen support in the skin. Re2O is designed to replenish that support with human-derived collagen. At our Myeongdong dermatology clinic, physicians consider Re2O for patients whose texture concerns have not fully improved with lasers or boosters alone. It can be used by itself or as part of a structured plan alongside energy-based treatments. The consultation focuses on identifying what is really driving your pores or scars.
Why collagen matters for pores and scars
Collagen fibers act like a supportive mesh around each pore. When that mesh weakens through aging, sun damage or past inflammation, pores can look wider and more elongated. Acne scars form in a similar way, where deep inflammation destroyed collagen and left a depression.
Re2O introduces human-derived collagen into these areas to help rebuild support. Because it provides collagen directly, it complements treatments that rely on stimulating the skin to produce its own, such as microneedle radiofrequency or PLA injectables.
Understanding which mechanism your skin needs most is what the consultation is for, and it is why two patients with similar-looking pores may receive different recommendations.
What does Re2O cost in Myeongdong?
Re2O at Val:U is KRW 690,000, excluding 10% VAT. The physician will outline how much product is used, which areas are targeted and whether additional sessions or complementary treatments are recommended. Scar and pore plans are individualized, so ask for a full estimate before starting.
For comparison, Rejuran S (from KRW 150,000) is another scar-focused injectable, and Potenza (from KRW 33,000) is a device-based option. Each works differently, and many plans use more than one.
Who is a good candidate for Re2O?
Re2O is typically considered for:
The doctor will also consider your skin tone, sensitivity and any recent procedures, since these affect timing and whether Re2O should be the first step or a later addition. People currently using oral isotretinoin for acne should mention it, as it can influence when some skin procedures are scheduled.
- Enlarged pores on the cheeks where skin has lost firmness
- Shallow, rolling acne scars or uneven skin texture
- People who have tried lasers and want an added collagen-based step
- Those without active infection, severe active acne or a history of collagen allergy
Combining Re2O with Potenza, Pico Fraxel or boosters
Texture concerns rarely have a single cause, so layered plans are common. A resurfacing or microneedling treatment can encourage remodeling, while Re2O adds collagen where it is most lacking. Some physicians schedule these in the same visit; others separate them by a few weeks to limit irritation.
Your skin type matters here. Darker skin tones may carry a higher risk of pigment change after certain lasers, which can influence the order and intensity of combined treatments. The doctor will explain the reasoning for any sequence proposed.
Side effects and aftercare
Common reactions include redness, swelling, small bumps and bruising, typically settling within a few days. Less common risks include lumps, infection and allergic reaction. Because Re2O is human-derived, ask the physician about its sourcing and safety processing if that is important to you.
Keep skincare gentle for a day or two, avoid picking or squeezing, and use sunscreen daily. Skip saunas, heavy workouts and alcohol for around 24 hours, or longer if combined with a laser.
If you are flying soon, pack a gentle cleanser and moisturizer so you can keep your routine simple.

Frequently asked questions
Can Re2O shrink pores?
Pores cannot be closed, but when they look enlarged because surrounding skin has lost support, adding collagen may make them appear smaller and tighter. Pores driven mainly by oil production may need different care. The doctor will assess the cause and set expectations accordingly.
What does human-derived collagen mean?
It means the collagen originates from human tissue and is processed for medical use. Some patients prefer this over animal-derived options for compatibility reasons, while others have personal or ethical preferences. Ask the physician about sourcing, processing and any relevant safety information before treatment.
How soon will I see results from Re2O?
Some patients notice smoother-looking skin within a few weeks once swelling fades, but texture changes, especially for scars, usually continue to develop over time. Results vary by skin type, severity and whether other treatments are combined. The physician can give a timeline based on your skin.
Is Re2O better than Rejuran S for acne scars?
Neither is universally superior. Re2O supplies collagen directly, while Rejuran S uses polynucleotides to support repair. The better choice depends on your scar type, skin condition, budget and timeline. Some plans use both at different stages, which the doctor can explain.
Can I travel after Re2O?
Yes, most people fly within a day or two. Keep skin clean and moisturized on the plane and use sunscreen at your destination. If you notice spreading redness, increasing pain or warmth, contact the clinic by messaging app or seek local medical care.
