01
Start here — direct answer
What is a placenta injection, what is it licensed for, and what does it cost in Busan?
The placenta injection
is a hydrolysate
of human placenta, the tissue broken down into amino acids, peptides and growth-factor fragments, sterilised and filtered to remove cells, proteins and viruses, and supplied under licence; in Korea and Japan the preparations have been in use since the 1950s and are licensed for liver function and for menopausal symptoms. The rationale is that the amino-acid and peptide load supports tissue repair and that the preparation has a mild effect on inflammation and on the liver; what patients report after a course is less tiredness, better sleep, easier menopausal symptoms and a clearer complexion, and it is the shot Korean women of a certain age book by name.
At Boom Dermatology it is given with the honest line, which has two parts. The licensed
uses are the ones with evidence: liver support and menopausal symptoms, prescribed by the doctor, an internal medicine specialist, after a history; the skin and anti-ageing claims are plausible, widely reported and thinly studied, and the doctor says so. And the safety
line: the preparations are screened and sterilised, the decades of use are reassuring, and the known trade-off is that a recipient can no longer donate blood in some countries, Korea and Japan among them, which the doctor tells every patient before the first shot. It is given subcutaneously or into the muscle, not as a drip; the IV hub
compares it with the six drips, and the boosters
are the injectables that act on the skin itself.

Questions, answered properly
Is it safe? It sounds alarming.
The preparations are hydrolysed, filtered and sterilised, screened for viruses, and have been licensed and used in Korea and Japan for decades with a reassuring record; the name is more alarming than the product. The known trade-off is blood-donation deferral, which the doctor at Boom Dermatology tells every patient before the first shot.
What is it actually for?
Licensed for liver function and menopausal symptoms; used widely for fatigue and the complexion, with reports rather than trials behind the latter. The doctor, an internal medicine specialist, prescribes it for the licensed uses and says plainly which claims are thin.
Will it do anything for my skin?
Perhaps a modest brightening and a better-rested look over a course, reported by many and measured by few; it is not a skin treatment. Our Seomyeon skin clinic points patients who want a skin result to the boosters, which act on the skin directly, and offers this for what it is licensed for.
How often, and for how long?
Once to twice a week for eight to twelve shots is the usual course, then as wanted; one shot does little. The doctor reviews at the end of the course.
Why can I not give blood afterwards?
Because blood services in Korea, Japan and some other countries defer anyone who has received a human-tissue-derived product as a precaution, however well screened; it is a rule about donation, not a statement that the product is unsafe. Patients at Boom Dermatology in Busan who donate are told before the first shot so they can decide.
