This is a guide to Wiconuno compiled by Dr. Choi Byeong-geun of SHINE U Clinic Konkuk (3 minutes walk from Konkuk Univ. Station Exit 1).

As we age, not only does our skin's elasticity decrease, but also its internal moisture, leading to increased dryness. When the barrier function weakens, moisture evaporates more easily, and the sebum and hyaluronic acid that form the moisturizing film also decrease. Let's examine how Wiconuno, a topical skin booster, works on which layers of the skin.

Skin boosters are a method that improves skin texture by enhancing the skin's natural regenerative abilities. They deliver active ingredients to help the skin plump up from within. Wiconuno contains ingredients that reach the dermis just by applying it, and it is characterized by less pain.

• It helps proliferate fibroblasts in the dermis to promote collagen and elastin production.
• It induces the production of baby collagen, contributing to improved elasticity.
• It does not cause protein coagulation, so it works to refine the skin texture.

Wiconuno uses HCA, an ingredient that dissolves dead skin cells, allowing active ingredients to penetrate without remaining on the surface. It helps with brightening and strengthening the skin barrier, and when it penetrates the skin, it suppresses melanin synthesis, thereby addressing melanin, the root cause of pigmentation. It is characterized by proliferating fibroblasts in the dermal layer rather than remaining in the epidermis.

Consult about whether dryness or texture is more concerning to you

The ingredients act on the dead skin cells, epidermis, and dermis, addressing various concerns such as pigmentation, texture, pores, and wrinkles. When the skin quality is refined, the tone becomes even and the skin becomes hydrated from within. It also enhances the skin's protective function against external stimuli, helping to slow down aging. However, the degree of change may vary from person to person.

Since it is a topical application, there is less burden from needles. There is relatively less downtime as bruising or swelling does not occur. People who are concerned about redness and desire an even tone may consider it before important events. However, suitability varies depending on skin condition, so a prior check is necessary.

If you are wondering if Wiconuno is suitable for your skin texture, please inquire via consultation chat. Suitability can be confirmed through a consultation with Dr. Choi Byeong-geun.
