In winter,
one of the most common things said at a dermatology clinic is
“My skin feels so tight.”
On the surface, there may not seem to be any major problems,
and it may not even look especially flaky,
but the skin feels tight right after washing,
and makeup dries out quickly as well.
At times like this,
during a consultation at the Ahyeon Station dermatology clinic,
Rejuran is often brought up.
But at the same time,
a common question is also,
“Aren’t Skin Botox and that basically the same thing?”
At first glance,
both are procedures injected into the skin,
and since both talk about improving fine lines and skin texture,
they can seem similar.
However,
Rejuran and Skin Botox play completely different roles.
The key issue with winter skin: internal dryness
The center of most winter skin concerns
is internal dryness.
Internal dryness means
a condition in which the skin’s ability to retain moisture from within
has declined, rather than a problem on the skin’s surface.
When this happens,
-
no matter how much cream you apply, the skin quickly feels tight
-
makeup does not sit well
-
fine lines may suddenly appear more noticeable
Even if it looks like a surface problem,
the real cause lies in the internal condition of the skin.
Why Ahyeon Station Rejuran is mentioned for internal dryness
Rejuran is
a procedure that helps increase the skin’s own recovery ability
through ingredients that support skin regeneration.
Rather than simply “adding” moisture,
it is more about
improving the regeneration environment inside the skin,
helping the skin barrier recover,
and creating a state in which moisture can be retained.
That is why
it is often considered for a constant feeling of tightness inside the skin
and dryness that does not improve even when basic skincare products are changed.
What does Skin Botox do?
Skin Botox,
unlike Botox that strongly relaxes muscles,
is a procedure in which a small amount is injected close to the skin’s surface
to aim for
-
reducing fine lines
-
refining skin texture
-
reducing shine
The focus of Skin Botox is
fine expression lines and changes on the skin’s surface.
So
fine lines that appear when smiling,
and tiny wrinkles on the eye area, forehead, and cheeks,
may feel improved.
Why Rejuran and Skin Botox are easy to confuse
Both procedures share the common point
that they make the skin look better,
so they are easy to think of as being in the same category.
But their directions are completely different.
At times like these,
choosing only Skin Botox just by looking at the surface wrinkles
can cause problems.
Why Skin Botox alone can make the skin feel drier
Skin Botox is
a procedure that reduces skin movement and sebum secretion
and is aimed at smoothing the surface.
If this procedure is done alone
when the inside of the skin is already dry,
the following can happen:
-
the skin may feel tighter
-
fine lines may be smoothed out, but the skin may look dull and rough
-
makeup may not last as well
That is why people especially say in winter,
“I feel like my skin got drier after Skin Botox.”
So Rejuran + Skin Botox are considered together
Depending on the skin condition,
Rejuran and Skin Botox
are sometimes performed together.
In that case, their roles are clearly divided.
-
Rejuran → internal dryness, skin regeneration, barrier recovery
-
Skin Botox → fine lines, skin texture refinement
Rejuran is used first
to stabilize the skin’s internal environment,
and Skin Botox is then used
to smooth out visible fine lines on the surface.
With this approach,
it may lead to a more natural improvement in the skin
without excessive dryness.
The same combination is not right for every skin type
The important thing is
that neither Rejuran nor Skin Botox
must always be done together.
-
If internal dryness is the main issue, focus more on Rejuran
-
If fine lines are the main issue, focus more on Skin Botox
-
If both problems overlap, do them in combination
The direction should change depending on the skin condition.
That is why
in Ahyeon Station Rejuran consultations,
rather than asking “which procedure is better,”
the first step is to look at what the main problem in the skin is right now.
For winter skin, you need to look at what is inside before what is on the surface
Winter skin concerns
most often begin from the inside rather than from the visible problem on the surface.
Rather than choosing a wrinkle procedure just because fine lines seem more noticeable,
it is necessary to check whether internal dryness comes first
or whether the skin’s regenerative ability has declined.
If you are considering Ahyeon Station Rejuran,
understanding the difference from Skin Botox
and consulting with a board-certified dermatologist about the order and combination
that suit your skin
may help prevent unnecessary worsening of dryness.
Skin tends to miss internal issues
the more you try to address the surface first.
That is why, especially for winter skin,
the order of approach matters.
