This is a guide to fillers compiled by Dr. Choi Byeong-geun of SHINE U Clinic Konkuk (3 minutes walk from Konkuk Univ. Station Exit 1).
As we age, our skin sags and loses volume. Some people ask if there's a way to fundamentally improve the skin without an artificial look. In such cases, volume procedures that induce collagen regeneration may be considered.
What is the collagen regeneration method?
This method involves injecting collagen-promoting ingredients like PLLA into the skin to induce self-collagen regeneration.
- It aims to restore volume using your body's own components.
- As time passes, collagen increases, and a gradual, natural change can be expected.
- It is known to help improve wrinkles and skin elasticity.
Unlike fillers, which provide immediate volume, this method gradually settles over a certain period of time.
Points to consider during the procedure
Collagen regeneration procedures are typically performed multiple times at regular intervals rather than just once.
- It is commonly known to be performed multiple times, usually at one-month intervals.
- As collagen regeneration begins, you may gradually feel an increase in volume.
- It is mainly used for the undereyes, nasolabial folds, cheeks, and temples.
Since it is a method that gradually settles, it is important to predict the changes in advance and plan meticulously. As the direction should be set after carefully examining the individual's condition, consultation with Dr. Choi Byeong-geun may be helpful. If you are curious about volume procedures, please inquire via chat.
In summary
The collagen regeneration method is an option considered by those who desire a natural progression rather than immediate changes. Creating a plan tailored to your condition can lead to natural results. If you have any questions, please feel free to inquire via chat consultation.
