Hello, this is Woori Plastic Surgery.
When a decrease in skin elasticity, fine wrinkles, or changes in skin texture start to become noticeable, many people begin to worry about a reduction in collagen within the skin. As a way to improve these skin changes, various skin booster procedures have recently been performed. Among them, the Retigen procedure is known as a skin booster that replenishes collagen within the skin.
Today, we will look at what kind of skin booster the Retigen procedure is, what skin conditions it may be considered for, when its effects may appear, and the criteria to consider when choosing a skin elasticity treatment.
What Is the Retigen Procedure?
The Retigen procedure is a skin booster treatment that involves injecting collagen into the dermal layer of the skin with the expectation of improving skin elasticity and skin texture.
Collagen in the skin naturally decreases over time, which can lead to reduced elasticity and the appearance of fine wrinkles or changes in skin texture. The Retigen procedure is performed with this skin condition in mind, using a method that replenishes collagen.
Because skin booster treatments aim to improve the skin’s internal environment, they may be performed not only for simple moisturizing care but also when improvement in skin elasticity, skin texture, and fine wrinkles are considered together.
Skin Conditions That May Need a Collagen Skin Booster
A collagen skin booster may be considered when you are concerned about various changes caused by a decrease in collagen within the skin.
For example, a consultation may be used to review the procedure in cases such as the following:
▶ When you feel that your skin elasticity has decreased compared to before
▷ When the skin texture has become rough and pores appear more noticeable
▶ When fine wrinkles gradually increase
▷ When the skin feels dry and thin
However, because skin condition and the degree of aging vary from person to person, it is important to determine which procedure is actually suitable after checking the skin condition through a consultation.
When Do the Effects of the Retigen Procedure
Begin to Appear?
The Retigen procedure is characterized by gradual improvement in skin condition over time rather than producing a noticeable change immediately after the procedure. Because the skin’s internal environment needs time to settle and the collagen needs time to take hold, changes in skin elasticity or skin texture may appear slowly after a certain period.
Procedures for improving skin elasticity include not only skin boosters but also various laser treatments and lifting procedures, so the selection criteria may differ depending on an individual’s skin condition and concerns. For example, when improvement in skin texture and fine wrinkles is also needed, a skin booster procedure may be considered. When sagging skin is the main concern, a lifting procedure may also be reviewed.
Therefore, when choosing a skin elasticity treatment, rather than deciding based on just one method, it is important to consider both your current skin condition and the direction of improvement you want, and then plan an appropriate treatment method.
Skin elasticity and skin texture can naturally change with age, but depending on your skin condition, various care methods can be considered.
If you are curious about skin booster procedures, including the Retigen procedure, it may be helpful to check your current skin condition and care options through a consultation.
