Elravie RE20: How Is It Different from Existing Skin Booster Treatments? Explanation from a Yeongdeungpo Dermatology Specialist

Hello.

I am Kang In-jeong, chief director of The River Dermatology Clinic.

Recently, the KOSPI index broke through 6,000, and the heat in the Korean stock market was really intense~ Then all of a sudden the war between the United States and Iran began, and we are experiencing a kind of chaotic mess.. (for some reason, sad..ㅜ.ㅜ)

A dermatologist talking about the stock market in the first paragraph, haha, you may find that strange. But as I was writing about today’s topic, “Elravie RE20,” this story naturally came up.ㅎ

A few months ago, a male patient who visited the clinic said he felt like he should start taking better care of his skin now, and that until then he had been active as a shareholder of Pharmaresearch, but had now come as a consumer. I still remember laughing for a moment after hearing that.ㅎㅎ

Among the skin booster procedures we know, Rejuran is a representative product from Pharmaresearch, and it really grew so much that I almost regretted it..ㅜ.ㅜ haha (Yes, I am the kind of person who taps even a stone bridge before crossing it—so cautious that I might even break it after tapping it -_ㅜ)

So even though Rejuran continues to ride high as a strong player in the skin booster market, a new competitor that has been frequently catching the eye lately has appeared.

It is

Elravie RE20

human acellular dermal matrix

.

The company that developed this product, L&C Bio, has also seen its stock price rise day by day~ㅎㅎ; (But I still haven’t bought it yet.. As expected, stone bridges must be broken first..)

Elravie Re2O (Elravie RE20), how is it different from existing skin booster treatments?

There are a great many different skin booster products.

You may have heard things like, “Pig collagen is good~,” “Cow collagen is good~,” or “Salmon is good for skin beauty.” These products are mainly similar to the human body,

or

made by processing ingredients that naturally exist in the human body (e.g. hyaluronic acid) and injecting them into the dermal layer of the skin,

with the ultimate goal being to help induce “skin regeneration.”

The biggest difference with Re2O is,

that it injects allogeneic dermis (human-derived material), in other words, ingredients extracted from human tissue, into the dermal layer of the skin.

Elravie Re2O (Elravie RE20) Ingredients

The dermal layer inside human skin looks like this.

For a more familiar explanation~~ㅎㅎ

This dermal layer is made up of various substances— cellular components, fibrous proteins, extracellular matrix, and more.

Representative examples include collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid,

and these components are produced by fibroblasts.

These structures come together to form the extracellular matrix (ECM), and the components within the ECM (collagen, elastin, proteoglycan, laminin) play an important role in maintaining skin elasticity and skin texture.

But because no one can escape aging..

when aging occurs in the skin,

the appearance of the dermal layer changes like this.

Can you feel it just from the images?😂

It is because of these unseen internal changes inside the skin that elasticity decreases and wrinkles form.ㅎㅎ

As mentioned earlier, other skin boosters are procedures that inject substances that induce regeneration of these components, but elastin is not easy to process into a structurally stable form, so there have been technical limitations in turning it into a product that closely resembles the actual skin environment.

However,

Re2O is a treatment that supplies skin tissue extracted from actual human tissue,

in a way that provides the skin with a structure similar to the dermal environment.

What is most important here is that when you search for Elravie RE20, the term that appears most often is acellular allogeneic dermis, hADM, human acellular dermal matrix.

Since it uses human tissue, you may worry about an immune reaction,

but the core technology of Re2O is that it is an acellular allogeneic dermis (hADM) structure with the cells removed.

In other words, because it is manufactured by removing the cellular components from human tissue that can trigger an immune reaction and leaving only the structural matrix of the dermis (ECM), its biggest feature is that the possibility of an immune reaction has been minimized.

Skin boosters derived from commonly used xenogeneic dermis components have also been proven safe and effective, but Re2O’s biggest distinguishing feature is that its approach is different in that it uses human-derived dermal structure.ㅎㅎ

Because of these characteristics, interest has recently grown in the dermatology field as well, and the number of people looking for Re2O treatments is gradually increasing.

However, because of the nature of products produced based on human tissue, there is not enough supply, so there are often cases where hospitals must limit treatment reservations ㅎㅎ

Yeongdeungpo Dermatology Elravie Re2O (Elravie RE20) Effects Elravie RE20, unlike existing skin boosters, is a procedure that complements the ECM structure of the dermal layer, so you can expect the following skin improvements.

The brochure explanation is relatively well organized~

✔ Improved skin elasticity

✔ Reduced fine wrinkles

✔ Improved skin texture

✔ Increased skin density

✔ Natural improvement in skin condition

In particular, it is good to understand this as a treatment that raises the skin’s basic resilience.

What kind of skin can benefit from Elravie RE20?

During the Re2O procedure (photo included with the patient’s consent)

Considering the effective aspects of Re2O, this treatment can be recommended for

people in their 30s and older who feel their skin has become thinner and less elastic, people worried about fine wrinkles and pores, and those who want to improve skin texture.

However,

as with all procedures, there is no single correct answer for which treatment is better.

Re2O is also not a treatment that applies equally to every skin type..ㅎㅎ

Depending on each person’s skin condition and the degree of aging,

skin booster treatments, laser procedures, and other options should be selected appropriately to find the treatment that suits you.

So before any procedure, I recommend having a sufficient consultation with a Yeongdeungpo dermatology specialist to decide on a treatment direction that matches your current skin condition before proceeding.
