Written by: Dr. Yeseul Moon / Published on: 2025-01-27
As we age, our skin loses moisture and elasticity, becoming dull. Skin boosters are an innovative solution that deeply penetrate the skin to help with hydration, elasticity, and wrinkle improvement.
1.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA), aka. 'Glass Skin Injection'
With its powerful moisturizing ability, it replenishes skin moisture and reduces fine lines. It attracts more than 1,000 times its weight in moisture, stimulates collagen production to enhance skin elasticity, improves fine lines, moisturizes the skin, and is suitable for sensitive areas.
2.
Polynucleotide (PN), aka. Rejuran
It regenerates the skin and reduces inflammation. Extracted from salmon DNA, it stimulates collagen production and helps with skin regeneration and healing effects. It reduces wrinkles, improves skin tone and pore size, increases moisture, and enhances skin elasticity. With 3-4 treatments at 2-week intervals, Rejuran improves pores, skin tone, and wrinkles. It has a low immune response, making it highly safe, and is widely used in Korea and Europe.
3.
Polylactic Acid (PLA): also known as Juvelook
Over time after injection, it promotes collagen production and helps regenerate the skin. It gradually breaks down after being injected into the skin and forms new collagen. It helps increase skin thickness and improve skin elasticity. It is used to treat fine wrinkles on the epidermis and acne scars. Excessive injection may cause side effects, such as nodule formation, so it should be properly diluted and administered by a professional.
4.
Botulinum Toxin (BoNT): also known as Skin Botox
It has the effect of reducing fine wrinkles and improving skin elasticity. It acts on superficial motor and sympathetic nerves to improve skin quality and reduces skin redness by suppressing neurogenic inflammation. When combined with water-light injections, the effects are maximized.
