Laennec Placenta Injection in Seoul

Laennec Placenta Injection explained

Laennec is a brand of human placenta hydrolysate, a processed extract from donated placentas, made in Japan. It is used medically in Korea for liver support. Wellness clinics also offer it, sometimes called a placenta injection, for tiredness, menopause symptoms and skin quality.

How Laennec Placenta Injection works

The extract contains amino acids, peptides and growth factors. It is usually given as an injection into the muscle or under the skin, and some clinics add it to a drip. The product is processed and sterilised to reduce infection risk, but research on its beauty and anti-fatigue effects is small and of limited quality.
