Worried About Pain During Skin Booster Injections at Oksu Dermatology? A Summary of the Main Advantages of Injectors

Worried About Injection Pain?

Hello, this is Raon Dermatology in Oksu-dong :)

Many people feel nervous every time they get an injection. The sensation of the needle touching the skin and the pressure of the medicine being pushed in can make your body flinch on its own! Because of that, even when considering dermatology procedures or skin boosters, people often worry first about whether the injection will hurt. Fortunately, there are now several ways to reduce pain. It would be much better if you knew in advance how pain can be reduced before visiting the dermatology clinic, right?

Worried About Injection Pain?

Why Injection Pain Occurs

Pain felt from injections mainly comes from two situations. The first is the moment the needle pierces the skin. Sensory nerves are densely distributed across the skin surface, so even a very fine needle can easily cause a stinging sensation when it first goes in. Even with the same needle, if it is inserted too quickly or at a poor angle, the pricking sensation can feel stronger! Areas with thinner skin or more nerves tend to transmit the same level of stimulation more sensitively.

The second is when the medicine is actually injected. As the syringe pushes the medication in, it pushes the skin and the tissue beneath it outward, and if the pressure is high at that time, a heavy pain or throbbing can occur. Medications with high viscosity, such as moisturizing ingredients or collagen boosters, can create more pressure and make pain more noticeable. So pain control is not only about the needle itself, but also about adjusting the injection speed, pressure, and ingredients together.

Why Injection Pain Occurs

Rejuran HB Plus

First, there is the option of choosing a skin booster that contains lidocaine. Rejuran HB Plus is a representative example! It combines PN, which helps skin regeneration, with hyaluronic acid, which helps retain moisture, so it can address dryness, fine lines, and reduced elasticity all at once. It is administered over several sessions to evenly deliver the product into the skin and gradually improve skin condition, and you can expect the skin to feel more hydrated and smoother after the procedure.

What makes it distinctive is that it contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic. Lidocaine temporarily blocks the process by which nerves transmit pain signals, helping to reduce the pressure pain caused as the medication is injected. The brief stinging from the needle itself may still remain to some extent, but the throbbing and pulling sensation during injection is usually much less. For those who were hesitant to try skin boosters because they are sensitive to pain, a formula that includes anesthesia in the product itself broadens the options.

<Advantages & Effects of Rejuran HB Plus>

• Contains lidocaine to minimize procedure pain

• Less procedural burden even for thin skin

• Helps improve the overall skin environment

• Helps improve skin texture, fine lines, and elasticity

MiraJet & TriFill Pro

Next, there is the option of using injection devices. MiraJet and TriFill Pro are devices that attract attention from people who fear injections because they are medication injectors that do not use needles. First, MiraJet uses air pressure to instantaneously spray forcefully, creating a tiny channel that can pass through the skin surface and using that force to push the medication into the skin. Because there is no visible needle, the fear of being pierced is much lower, and the concern about needle marks is also reduced.

TriFill Pro uses carbon dioxide to create a very small air pocket inside the skin and then evenly spreads the medication within that space. Its advantage is that it can broadly distribute a layer of medication inside the skin without repeatedly puncturing with a needle. However, because it is a device that delivers force instantaneously using air pressure or gas, a heavy, snapping sensation can accompany the moment the pressure is delivered. For those who are especially afraid of needle pain, it is an option worth considering as an alternative to injections.

<Advantages of MiraJet & TriFill Pro>

• Needle-free injection means no puncture pain

• Fast and even delivery over a wide area

• Suitable for people who fear injections

Potenza Pumping Tip & Dermashine

Potenza Pumping Tip is also worth mentioning, right~? It is a device that uses micro-needles and radiofrequency energy at the same time. You can understand it as a dual-action structure in which very fine microneedles enter the skin, stimulate the dermis with radiofrequency, and then fill the same channel with medication in a pumping manner. Because the needles are thin and the depth can be adjusted consistently, the stimulation is distributed more evenly than with ordinary injections, and when used together with enough ointment anesthesia, the pain burden can be greatly reduced.

If you want to focus on the injection itself, choosing Dermashine is also a good option. It is an injection device that delivers medication in small amounts while several micro-needles enter at once. Usually, nine thin needles go down and up at the same time, injecting medication at regular intervals, so it tends to be less painful than repeatedly piercing one spot multiple times. Because the injection speed and amount can be matched uniformly, bruising and swelling can also be managed to some extent! Although needles are still used, the fine needles and mechanical injection reduce the feeling of being “pricked one by one.”

<Advantages of Potenza & Dermashine>

• Stimulation is distributed with fine needles

• Even delivery at a consistent depth

• Efficient coverage of a wide area

• Targeted injection into local areas is possible

Intense Ultra

Even when using an injector, it is a good idea to pair it with calming care after a skin booster treatment. Intense Ultra is a care device that uses high-density ultrasound energy to help soothe and regenerate the skin. After injections or skin booster procedures, the skin may temporarily become red and leave behind mild swelling or warmth. Ultrasound energy helps circulation within the skin and can help gradually ease that discomfort. Since it is used by applying gel and gently moving it across the skin, it also has the advantage of allowing care without irritating sensitized skin.

If you combine three ultrasound modes appropriately according to the situation, you can help step by step from surface soothing to deeper-layer recovery. If you receive calming care on the same day as the injection, redness and tightness are left less noticeable, making it easier to return to daily life! Along with the various devices that help reduce the pain of the injection itself, if you also consider calming care that makes recovery after the procedure more comfortable, it can greatly reduce the burden of injections, right~?
