“People say Rituo is good these days...

What exactly makes it good?”

Recently, more and more people

have been asking this question.

Many have heard that it is beneficial,

but are not quite sure

how it differs from aqua shine injections.

So today, I’ll discuss

whether there is a difference in results

compared with aqua shine injections,

based on a comparative clinical paper.

How Does Rituo Replenish the Skin?

One difference from aqua shine injections,

which have traditionally been used to replenish moisture,

is the actual “material” being added.

While aqua shine injections add moisture

(hyaluronic acid) to plump up the skin,

Rituo is based on the concept of replenishing

the materials that make up the skin itself.

Hongdae Rituo

Rituo is made from human acellular allogeneic dermis,

or phADM, processed into extremely small

microparticles.

It contains the actual components of our skin (ECM),

including collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.

Therefore, rather than producing an immediate, dramatic plumping effect,

it is closer to gradually strengthening

the skin structure over time.

How Does Rituo Differ from Aqua Shine Injections in Terms of Results?

There is a clinical study that compared

Rituo and aqua shine injections

by treating each half of the same person’s face differently.

Let’s take a look.

Paper related to Hongdae Rituo

Adults with rough cheek skin

received Rituo (phADM) in one cheek

and hyaluronic acid in the other,

and the results were compared over 20 weeks.

The following summarizes the results

in comparison with hyaluronic acid.

What is worth noting is that the aqua shine injection side also improved.

Changes in density, volume, elasticity, and more

However, the side treated with Rituo

showed greater improvement across more indicators.

Density, volume, elasticity,

nasolabial and under-eye wrinkles, pores,

moisture, and the moisture barrier—

Rituo led in most areas.

Changes in nasolabial and under-eye wrinkles

We took a closer look

at nasolabial and under-eye wrinkles.

Although aqua shine injections also showed improvement,

the wrinkle improvement was greater

on the Rituo side.

Changes in pores

The enlarged pores also decreased

more noticeably on the Rituo side

over the 20-week period.

This may also be viewed as a basis

for the recent reviews saying

that Rituo is beneficial for pores.

Changes in redness

In addition to pores and wrinkles,

Rituo also reduced skin redness.

Compared with aqua shine injections,

which showed little difference in this area,

redness was reduced to a greater extent.

As Rituo replenishes the components

that make up the skin itself,

it does not produce just one effect;

rather, improvements could be seen

in several skin concerns.

Hongdae Rituo is a skin booster

that works by replenishing the components

that make up the skin.

Therefore, when compared with aqua shine injections

containing hyaluronic acid,

which moisturizes the skin,

it showed greater overall skin improvement.

For those who were disappointed

with the results after conventional aqua shine injections,

Rituo may be worth considering.

However, treatment results

may vary from person to person.

Please keep this in mind,

carefully assess your own skin condition first,

and then make your decision.

Thank you.
