This is a guide to skin booster injections compiled by Dr. Choi Byeong-geun of SHINE U Clinic Konkuk (3 minutes walk from Konkuk Univ. Station Exit 1).
When the weather gets dry, many people find their skin losing moisture, becoming rough, and having a coarse texture. If damaged skin is left untreated, recovery can be slow. In such cases, exosome skin boosters are considered as a way to address inner dryness and tightness. However, there are various types of skin boosters, so the starting point is to distinguish between them.
What are skin boosters?
Skin boosters are a type of care that replenishes essential nutrients deep within the skin, making it healthy from the inside out. Since the necessary nutrients are injected directly, they are considered for the following conditions:
- When inner dryness and tightness repeatedly occur
- When breakouts frequently appear
- When the oil-water balance is disrupted
Skin boosters are not all the same. The appropriate formulation differs depending on your skin concerns.
How do exosomes work?
Exosomes are known to deliver key components obtained from stem cell culture fluid to skin cells. They are involved in helping to restore damaged skin and enhance the skin's natural regenerative power, and are considered for managing inflammation and simultaneously addressing sagging skin and enlarged pores.
Relatively low burden
The treatment time is not long, typically 10-15 minutes, and the irritation is not as strong compared to other methods, so many people choose it without much burden. It is also frequently mentioned by those interested in anti-aging.
Check first if exosomes are suitable for inner dryness
Why you should confirm the use of genuine products
It is important to confirm that genuine, verified products are used during the treatment process. It is reported that using unverified products can affect areas other than the target, leading to uneven results. Therefore, it is safer to proceed at a clinic with sufficient experience.
Components and direction of change
Exosome-based care is known to include various nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, coenzymes, and peptides. After treatment, cell proliferation is activated, and it is reported to be involved in collagen and elastin formation. The degree and speed of change may vary from person to person.
Plan before care
Since everyone's skin condition is different, the same care is not suitable for everyone. You should thoroughly discuss your current skin condition, areas of concern, and desired improvements before making a plan to achieve better results. With consistent care, you can expect a reduction in roughness and an increase in moisture.
Inner dryness and tightness can sometimes be difficult to resolve with surface moisturizing alone. The first step is to distinguish between different types of skin boosters and choose the formulation that suits your skin.
If you are also considering moisture and nutrient care, you can also look into skin booster packages or PDRN injections.
