"How long does Rituo last?

Can it improve fine lines or scars?"

When consulting about Rituo, there are a few questions that commonly come up.

I thought compiling the questions I often hear during consultations into a post might help many people ^^

So today I've prepared a session where, as a dermatologist, I personally answer the most frequently asked questions about Rituo.

If you concentrate and read for just three minutes, it will surely be helpful, so please stay with me until the end today!

What is Rituo?

Rituo is made by removing cells from dermal material extracted from human skin, and then

injecting the extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin directly into the dermis,as a skin booster treatment.

If conventional skin boosters work by signaling skin cells to “become stronger” or by supplying nutrients,

Rituo directly replenishes the materials and environment that cells need to function.That's the idea.

It's like providing equipment and hands-on support rather than just cheering someone on while they work—you can achieve results faster.

You can think of Rituo as playing that role for our skin.

So,its distinguishing features are that it is relatively fast, stable, and can be expected to provide a wider range of effects,this is what makes Rituo unique.

Frequently asked Q&A about Rituo

"Does Rituo produce an immediate, pronounced volume-enhancing effect like a filler?"

"Is it a procedure where volume improvement is immediately noticeable like with fillers?"

It does not produce the sensation of immediate, fully filled volume.

However, as the ECM settles into the dermis and induces surrounding collagen regeneration, you can expect a gradual, natural increase in volume over time.

It may be suitable for those who want improvement in elasticity and volume in a non-artificial way while preserving their natural features,and for whom that approach is preferable.

"Improving fine wrinkles or micro-scars

Is it effective?

Yes, it is ^^

Rituo has very fine particles, so it is advantageous for working densely on thin, sensitive areas like the periorbital and perioral regions where the skin appears as fine lines.

While it is difficult to improve deep scars in a single session, it can greatly help naturally fill fine lines and superficial scars to create smoother skin texture.

How long does Rituo last?

About 4–6 months after a single treatmentThe effect is generally noticeable.

In fact, it tends to have a relatively longer duration compared with existing skin boosters.

If you want it to last longer,we recommend repeating the treatment 3 times at 2–3 month intervalsplease consider doing so.

If you proceed this way,the duration can often be extended to 1 to 1.5 years,in many cases.

Keeping this in mind when undergoing treatment will be very helpful ^^

Tips to get the most out of Rituo

Lastly,I'll share my tips to enhance Rituo's effectiveness,and conclude the post.

Rituo + Rejuran

Personally, I often recommend the combination of Rituo and Rejuran.

If Rituo strengthens the structural foundation of the dermis, Rejuran, with its PN component, induces surface regeneration and an anti-inflammatory response, producing a synergistic effect.

This combination is especially suitable for patients with sensitive skin who frequently experience redness.

Rituo + JuveLook

Those who want longer-lasting resultsthis combination suits well.

Rituo is a procedure that can provide relatively rapid improvement in skin firmness, while

JubeRook induces long-term collagen production, so the effects of the two procedures overlap and you can expect longer durability.
