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).
Many people feel that as they age, their pores enlarge, their skin tone becomes uneven, and their skin texture becomes rough. While many consider skin boosters for these concerns, some have postponed treatment due to worries about pain during the injection process. Let's summarize how using an injector can make a difference.
The Role of Skin Boosters
As we age, collagen decreases, the dermis thins, and elasticity and moisture decline. Skin boosters are used to address these changes.
- They help strengthen the skin barrier and promote collagen regeneration.
- They are used for tightening enlarged pores and improving skin texture.
Skin boosters are reported to be naturally absorbed and broken down in the body.
When You Are Concerned About Pain
Skin boosters can cause pain during the injection process. An injector helps reduce this burden. It is a method that uniformly injects the medication using fine needles and a negative pressure sensing system.
| Item | Manual Needle | Injector |
|---|---|---|
| Uniformity | Depends on skill | Generally uniform |
| Pain relief | Limited | Utilizes vibration function |
| Medication loss | Possible | Aims to reduce with pressure sensor |

How Injectors Reduce Pain
They say the most painful moment when injecting medication with a needle is when the medication enters the skin. An injector aims to reduce pain by controlling the medication injection speed with a vibration function. It also has a pressure sensor to reduce the possibility of medication leakage. However, the perception of pain may vary from person to person.
Who Should Consider This Treatment
- Those who want to address complex concerns such as pores, texture, and tone simultaneously.
- Those who want to add moisture to dry skin.
- Those who have postponed injection-based treatments due to sensitivity to pain.
Skin booster treatments are often administered over several sessions rather than just once, and the duration of the achieved changes also varies from person to person. It is safer to determine the treatment cycle after a diagnosis.
