Hello, this is 우리성형외과.
As we age, our skin may feel thinner and less resilient than before, or remain dry and rough even after applying sufficient skincare products.
Fine lines and enlarged pores may become more noticeable, while the cheeks and area around the jaw may also lose elasticity.
One of the factors closely related to this type of skin aging is collagen.
Recently, people have also been managing skin elasticity and texture with Re티젠, a skin booster that directly injects collagen into the dermal layer of the skin.
Today, we will look at why collagen becomes more important as skin elasticity declines and examine the characteristics of Re티젠.
Why Does Skin Elasticity Gradually Decline?
The skin consists of several layers, including the epidermis and dermis. The dermis contains collagen and elastin, which support the skin.
However, as we age, the amount of collagen in the skin and its ability to produce collagen decrease, which can naturally weaken the skin’s ability to remain firm and supported.
As a result, changes such as fine lines that were previously unnoticeable, rougher skin texture, and pores that appear enlarged may develop.
In particular, when the skin becomes thinner, loses its ability to retain moisture, and also loses elasticity, the entire face may appear more tired and lacking in vitality than before.
Therefore, when skin aging begins, it is necessary to consider not only replenishing moisture but also collagen, which forms part of the skin’s structure.
What Kind of Skin Booster Is Re티젠?
Re티젠 is a collagen skin booster that directly injects Type I collagen into the dermal layer of the skin.
Unlike procedures that work by inducing collagen production, its distinguishing feature is that it delivers collagen itself into the skin.
Type I collagen is a major type of collagen that makes up the dermis and plays an important role in maintaining the skin’s structure and elasticity.
Re티젠 can be used to manage the skin’s overall moisture, elasticity, and texture by delivering this collagen directly into the dermal layer.
Accordingly, rather than focusing on just one skin concern, it may be considered one option for improving overall skin condition when the skin feels thinner and less resilient overall.
How Does It Differ from Simply Replenishing Moisture?
When the skin is dry, it is easy to first think of a lack of moisture.
Sufficient moisturizing is certainly important for skin care, but when skin elasticity has also declined, moisture replenishment alone may not fully address the concern.
Collagen in the skin acts as a type of structural support. As it decreases, the skin may become looser, making fine lines and sagging pores more noticeable.
Re티젠 differs in that it directly injects Type I collagen into the dermal layer, aiming to address not only moisture levels but also skin elasticity and texture.
However, its mechanism differs from lifting procedures that raise deeply sagging tissue itself. It is therefore important to distinguish whether the current concern is a loss of elasticity in the skin itself or sagging of deeper tissue.
Why Collagen Is Also Important for Pores and Fine Lines
Pore enlargement can have various causes, including sebum production and skin type, but reduced skin elasticity may also have an effect.
This is because pores may appear longer and wider than before as the skin’s ability to support the area around them decreases.
Fine lines can likewise be affected by structural changes in the dermal layer, along with reduced moisture in the skin.
Therefore, if pores or fine lines suddenly become noticeable at the same time, it is necessary to examine whether reduced skin elasticity is also occurring rather than managing only the skin’s surface.
Re티젠 can be applied to areas with various skin concerns, including facial wrinkles, the area around the cheekbones, and enlarged pores. The treatment area and injection volume are determined according to each individual’s skin condition.
It May Also Be Considered When the Skin Looks Dry and Dull
Skin aging does not appear only as wrinkles or sagging.
As the skin barrier weakens and the ability to retain moisture decreases, the skin texture may become rough, or the skin may look dull and lacking in vitality overall.
When dryness, rough texture, and reduced elasticity occur together, it is advisable to examine the overall condition of the skin rather than managing only one symptom.
Re티젠 may be used to help with skin renewal and improvement of the skin barrier, so its suitability can also be assessed for concerns such as dry, rough skin texture or an overall loss of elasticity.
However, skin concerns caused by melanin pigment itself, such as hyperpigmentation or melasma, may require separate treatments such as laser therapy.
When skin aging begins, it is common for several changes to appear together rather than just one, including dryness, fine lines, pores, rough skin texture, and reduced elasticity.
Re티젠 is a skin booster that directly delivers Type I collagen to the dermal layer and can be used to manage these combined skin concerns.
However, not everyone requires the same treatment simply because their skin elasticity has declined.
The appropriate management method may differ depending on whether the elasticity of the skin itself has decreased or whether fat or soft tissue has sagged downward.
At 우리성형외과, we assess skin thickness and elasticity, as well as the condition of wrinkles and pores, before planning the treatment area and method required for each individual.
If you are considering Re티젠, first examine which signs of aging are currently appearing in your skin, then consult with a professional to find a management method suited to your skin condition.
