There Are So Many Types of Skin Boosters in Hongdae—Which One Is Right for My Skin?

There Are So Many Types of Skin Boosters in Hongdae,

Which One Is Right for My Skin?

"I've tried Rejuran

and Juvelook too..

but I was a little disappointed."

These days, many people are looking for

skin boosters that improve skin texture.

The more treatments someone has tried,

the more likely they are to have

concerns like these.

The number of options keeps increasing,

but it can be difficult to find

one that is exactly right for your skin.

Today, I would like to talk about

the “ECM skin booster,” which people

have been asking about frequently lately.

Let’s take a look at how it differs

from existing skin boosters,

as well as the results reported

in clinical research.

1. Is the way it fills the skin different?

Not all skin boosters are the same.

Broadly speaking, the difference lies in

what is placed into the skin.

Hyaluronic acid-based products fill the dermis

with moisture, providing temporary volume

and a glow.

Collagen-stimulating products introduce ingredients

that send signals telling the skin

to produce collagen on its own.

ECM skin boosters take a somewhat different approach.

ECM is a net-like structure

that supports the dermis.

As we age or photoaging progresses,

this network itself becomes looser.

An ECM booster uses finely processed,

human-derived dermal components to directly

fill the empty spaces in this structure.

Put simply, rather than sending signals

to stimulate collagen production,

it is closer to directly laying a foundation

for the dermis to become replenished.

2. Will my skin really change?

Let’s look at a study together

to see whether there really is a difference.

Twenty adults were studied by placing

an ECM skin booster on one side of the face

and hyaluronic acid on the other,

then comparing the results over 20 weeks.

Because the left and right sides

of the same person’s face were compared,

the differences could be observed

relatively clearly.

The lower “Control” shows the skin density

of the side treated with hyaluronic acid,

while the upper “Test” shows the side

treated with the ECM booster.

Both sides improved, but the increase

in density was greater on the ECM booster side.

In addition to density, the ECM side

also showed better results at various time points

for elasticity, wrinkle depth,

pore area, moisture, and skin barrier indicators.

What is important to note here is that

the comparison was not with skin that had

received “no treatment,” but with hyaluronic acid.

Both are treatments that can have effects,

but among them, the approach of filling

the structure can be considered to have gone

a step further in terms of density and elasticity.

3. Then should I get an ECM skin booster?

When discussing the effects this way,

it may seem that an ECM skin booster

is the best option.

That is not necessarily the case.

For people who have previously received

Rejuran or Juvelook and felt somewhat dissatisfied,

we sometimes recommend Rituo.

This is because it focuses more on skin regeneration

and can address some of the limitations

of Juvelook, which focuses more on volume.

However, ECM skin boosters such as Rituo

work by adding structure itself to the skin,

so your face may feel slightly fuller

after the treatment.

Therefore, they may not be suitable

for skin that already has a firm structure

and has not experienced a significant decrease

in collagen.

For this reason, before treatment,

we recommend checking the condition

of your skin first.

If you are researching skin boosters in Hongdae,

rather than focusing on the names of the products,

we hope you will first consider whether

what is currently lacking in your skin is moisture,

collagen stimulation, or the structure itself.

This is because satisfaction is likely to increase

when you choose an approach suited

to what is lacking.

The most accurate way to decide

which booster is right for you is to determine it

after directly examining your skin,

so we recommend having a consultation

before making a decision.
