What Should You Look for to Get the Best Results from Gangnam Collagen Injections?

Hello, we are ‘Ribbon (Re:本) Plastic Surgery,’ meeting you at Exit 1 of Sinsa Station.

As we age, the skin’s collagen production naturally decreases, causing the skin to lose elasticity.

Skin that has lost elasticity is affected by gravity and gradually stretches and sags downward.

Pores may enlarge, and stretched skin can fold and form deep wrinkles.

For this reason, many people undergo anti-aging procedures using various lifting devices.

Among them, collagen boosters are sought after by many because they can promote collagen production in the dermis, allowing for fundamental improvement.

PLLA and PDLLA

Collagen boosters mainly use PLA, a polymer of lactic acid with excellent biocompatibility, as their main ingredient.

Because PLA has biodegradable properties, after it is injected into the skin, it naturally breaks down into water, carbon dioxide, and other substances, which means there is less concern about long-term side effects.

PLA is further divided into PDLLA and PLLA.

PLLA is the main ingredient in Sculptra and has relatively large, sharp particles.

Because of this, Sculptra is injected into a somewhat deeper layer, allowing you to feel elasticity filling from within.

However, it takes somewhat longer for the effects to appear, and even a slight mistake in the treatment area carries a high risk of side effects such as nodules, which is a drawback.

The Danggijio collagen injection at Ribbon Plastic Surgery uses PDLLA as its main ingredient.

Compared with PLLA, PDLLA has smaller, rounder particles.

Because of this, it is less likely to cause nodules even when injected into a slightly shallower layer than PLLA.

Therefore, it offers higher safety and produces effects in a relatively shorter period than PLLA.

Collagen Booster Effects

Ribbon Plastic Surgery’s Danggijio plays a role in directly penetrating cells and helping elastic fibers themselves recover in a healthy way.

Because it is performed as an injection without incisions, the procedure can be carried out with relatively little scarring or pain.

Despite the short procedure time, the effects last for a long time, which is why many people are choosing it these days.

Since it helps the body produce collagen on its own, it does not simply increase volume;

it also makes the skin tissue denser, strengthens the skin barrier, and can improve fine wrinkles, reduce pore size, and improve skin tone.

The Volume Effect of Collagen Boosters

Because collagen boosters stimulate natural collagen production within the skin, the results feel natural and smooth.

Since it promotes collagen within my own skin, skin density gradually increases, helping maintain healthy, elastic skin.

However, collagen boosters do not produce immediate results.

A certain amount of time is needed to see sufficient effects.

Also, even if the same amount is injected, the amount of collagen produced varies from person to person.

Because of this, it is difficult to predict how much volume will build up, which is a drawback.

However, because the volume is created using your own collagen, it has the advantage of lasting a long time while being safer than fillers, which gradually break down and disappear.

In particular, fillers can produce somewhat unnatural results depending on the ingredients used and the injection technique.

In other words, collagen boosters gradually and naturally increase volume over time and provide long-term effects,

whereas fillers are suitable for those who want immediate results, and if they are over-injected or injected into an inappropriate area, they can look artificial.

As time passes, collagen boosters can actually add vitality, so they can be described as a procedure that turns back time.

In particular, Ribbon Plastic Surgery’s ‘Danggijio’ is in the form of microscopic spheres, so it can provide relatively safe and effective results.

The effects of collagen boosters vary from person to person, and the required amount and the injection sites also differ.

Therefore, we recommend finding a clinic that can accurately understand your skin condition and provide a customized solution.

If you are worried about wrinkled, sagging skin that has lost elasticity with age, you may want to visit Ribbon Plastic Surgery.

A plastic surgeon with more than 20 years of experience will personally assess your skin condition and guide you only to the procedures you need, in a customized 1:1 consultation.
