Core Stack
Autologous PRP + PBM + Ultherapy and/or Thermage
Regenerative Lifting Protocol starts with your own biology. We draw your blood, separate the platelet-rich plasma, and activate the platelets with PBM (photobiomodulation, also known as low-level light therapy). The result is an autologous concentrate of your own growth factors and signaling proteins, prepared in our clinic in under an hour, ready to be delivered into the layers of your face that need them.
We deliberately do not use the imprecise phrase that's often advertised next to autologous regenerative care. There is no banked donor cell line in this protocol, no proprietary culture, no “youth serum” sourced from outside your body. What we do is autologous regenerative activation: your platelets, your growth factors, activated through PBM, delivered into the same face that produced them.
The second half of the protocol is the energy device the physician selects for your face. Some patients need deep structural lift — Ultherapy reaches the SMAS layer. Some need surface tightening across a wider surface area — Thermage heats dermal collagen. Many patients need both, balanced. The Metacell layer amplifies recovery and biological response across whichever device the physician chooses, which is why the final price varies: it scales with the depth and surface area of the lift you actually need.
Not a menu. Examples of how the same Metacell foundation gets layered with different energy work depending on what the physician reads on your face at consultation.
Patient A · Structural lift
For visible lower-face descent and a defined jawline goal. Metacell layer prepares the tissue; Ultherapy 300 shots target the SMAS for deep structural lift. Recovery skews short; results consolidate over 8–12 weeks.
Illustrative build — final shot count is set by the physician.
Patient B · Surface tightening
For texture quality, pore appearance, and broader surface laxity rather than deep descent. Metacell layer drives regenerative recovery; Thermage 600 heats dermal collagen across the full face for even tightening. Often the right choice for patients with thinner skin and a longer trip window.
Illustrative build — final shot count is set by the physician.
Patient C · Balanced
For mixed indications: some descent, some texture change, some longevity goals. Metacell layer plus a calibrated split between deep SMAS lift and surface tightening. Often the right answer when a full Ultherapy 300 + Thermage 600 stack would over-treat for the face in front of us.
Illustrative build — final stack is set by the physician.
These are not packages on a shelf. The physician designs the energy-device layer at consultation, after anatomical assessment and contraindication screening. The Metacell layer is published at ₩1,200,000 for 4cc and ₩2,400,000 for 8cc; the physician-selected energy-device layer is added at the menu’s published device prices.
Most travel-aimed packages in Seoul are designed in reverse: a fixed combination is set up first, and the patient is then sorted into the closest one. The result is structural over- or under-treatment based on how a face happened to fall on a price grid.
Regenerative Lifting Protocol inverts that. The physician reads the face first — laxity vector, skin density, volume changes, recovery window, the trip you're actually planning — and then assembles the Metacell + energy stack around what's in front of them. That's what the “Chamaka-se” framing has always meant on this site: the physician decides, the physician protects, and you see a fully itemized KRW quote before you commit.
Concretely, this is what changes for you: no broker hands off your case to a junior provider. The same physician reads your face, designs the protocol, performs the treatment, and signs off your aftercare. Pricing is itemized in KRW with no hidden “international patient” surcharge.
Verified Google reviews from international and local patients
These days, so many skin clinics open and close so quickly. But Tune Clinic is different — it isn't a place that pops up and disappears. It has stayed in the same place, consistently welcoming patients with care and sincerity. That's why I always trust them whenever I visit. Thank you for always providing steady, thoughtful treatments and for understanding my constantly changing concerns. I'm extremely satisfied with this treatment as well.

Metacell 4cc
₩1,200,000
Autologous PRP + PBM activation, no energy device. Used as a lighter regenerative-only entry point.
Metacell 8cc
₩2,400,000
The fuller Metacell build. A physician-selected energy-device layer (Ultherapy and/or Thermage) can be added at the menu’s published device prices.
Reference
All pricing is in KRW; payment is processed in KRW at the clinic. Approximate USD figures shown elsewhere on the site are for reference only at 1 USD ≈ 1,480 KRW.
Final pricing is determined after in-person physician assessment. We do not quote a fixed total before we see your face — that would mean we picked the protocol before we read the indication.
No. There is no banked donor cell line and no cultured cell product in this protocol. Metacell Protocol is autologous regenerative activation: your platelet-rich plasma is prepared from your own blood and activated using PBM (photobiomodulation), then delivered into your face. We deliberately avoid the more dramatic word that's often advertised because it implies something this protocol does not include.
The regenerative layer (Metacell) drives a recovery and quality boost that typically peaks at 8–12 weeks and remains visible for several months. The energy-device layer (Ultherapy / Thermage) is the part that produces structural lift, with collagen remodeling that consolidates over 3–6 months and lifts that are typically discussed in the 12–18 month range. Maintenance schedules are individualized at follow-up.
Yes, when the build is matched to your trip. A Metacell-only or Metacell + lighter energy build can comfortably fit in a 3–5 day Seoul trip. A deeper combination build (Ultherapy 300 + Thermage 600 + Metacell) typically wants a 4–5 day window so the physician can see you for a follow-up before you fly. The decision is made at consultation, not before.
Because the energy-device layer changes per face. The Metacell layer itself is published at ₩1,200,000 for 4cc and ₩2,400,000 for 8cc. The Ultherapy / Thermage layer scales with shot count, depth, and which device the physician chooses, and is added at the menu’s published device prices. You see the itemized KRW total before you commit.
Often, yes — for a Metacell + lighter energy build. For the deeper combination builds we typically prefer a 4–5 day window so we can see you again before departure. If your trip is fixed at three days, tell us at consultation and we will design the build around the time you actually have, not around the protocol that would over-treat for your window.
Topical anesthetic and a complimentary targeted comfort block are standard. IV conscious sedation is optional (+₩110,000) and most often selected when the build includes a deeper Ultherapy + Thermage combination. The physician will recommend at consultation whether sedation is worthwhile for your specific build.
What a 3–5 day visit normally looks like at Tune Clinic, end-to-end.
Day 1
Rest from your flight. Evening visit for in-person consultation, indication-first planning, and a fully itemized KRW protocol — no broker handoff, no surprise pricing.
Day 2
Treatment per the protocol you confirmed yesterday. Detailed aftercare and recovery timeline are provided in your language.
Day 3
Aftercare-first day. Most patients can do light Seoul exploration; the clinic stays reachable on WhatsApp / Instagram / email if questions come up.
Day 4
In-person or remote follow-up. Optional second light treatment only if planned at consultation. We do not upsell at the checkpoint.
Day 5
Brief departure check, take-home regimen, and a written summary you can share with your home clinician if needed.
Direct physician consultation, transparent KRW pricing, no broker handoff.
