Hello.

This is Mind Dermatology, dedicated to improving the essence of skin with care.

Medical Director

Hongseon Lee, a dermatologist with 17 years' experience.

​

​

“My skin is dry so creams only help for a short time,

and overall it looks dull and lacks vitality.”

​

​

This is a common concern patients tell us when seasons change or fatigue accumulates.

​

​

As skin boosters that replenish moisture and nutrients from within the skin have become popular, their variety has increased,

​

​

but it can still be hard to choose which procedure your skin actually needs.

​

​

To start with the conclusion, skin boosters aremore about first checking which aspects of your skin are lacking right now rather than choosing a trendy product—this is important.

Today I want to explain that standard in an easy-to-understand way.

Please focus and read briefly! ^^

01. Skin boosters: why assess the 'internal environment' of the skin

​

Cosmetics we commonly use mainly help manage the skin surface, but

​

​

they can have limits in addressing deeper issues such as deep dehydration or loss of elasticityinside the skin.

​

​

At this point, skin boostersare procedures that help deliver active ingredients directly into the skin to improve a variety of concerns such as hydration, elasticity, and skin texture.They

​

  • surface appears oily while the skin feels tight from deep dehydration,

​

  • rough skin texture and enlarged pores with excess sebum,

​

  • skin that has become sensitive to external stimuli and looks dull—

​

​

these issues may not be solved by improving only the surface,and it is important to strengthen the cellular environment within the skin,rather than just the surface.

​

​

​

02. Choosing a

How to choose a skin booster

​

Then,Which one should you choose among the many skin boosters?

​

​

The criteria are surprisingly simple.

​

​

Start by identifying which skin concern is bothering you the most right now.

​

​

  • If severe dryness and roughness are your concerns,

​

​

Rituo, which increases moisture within the skin,could be considered.

​

​

  • If enlarged pores and rough skin texture bother you,

​

​

a representative regenerative booster that enhances the skin's regenerative capacity and firms textureAn approach centered on Rejuran may be appropriate.

​

​

  • If loss of cheek volume or overall decreased elasticity is a concern,

​

​

through treatments like Sculptrathey induce the skin to produce collagen from within, improving volumein that direction.

​

Of course, in an actual consultation,the appropriate ingredients and treatment methods can differ depending on the skin's thickness, sensitivity, and the patient's current concerns^^

03. Are skin boosters always best if they're well-known?

​

Some people choose a particular skin booster simply because others recommend it or it is trending on SNS.

​

​

Because skin thickness, hydration level, and sensitivity vary from person to person,

​

​

it's hard to assume that a procedure that worked well for someone else will give you the same result.

​

At Mind Dermatology Clinic, a board-certified dermatologist personally examines your skin condition,

​

​

and provides consultation so you can choose the skin booster that suits the areas you currently need.

​

​

Rather than indiscriminately adding multiple ingredients to dry, fatigued skin,we first determine what your skin needs right now.

​

​

We believe this process should come first when selecting a skin booster as well.

​

​

​

We will provide care with sincerity.

<Skin Booster Q&A>

​

​

Question

Answer

Q. Q. Can a skin booster produce visible effects after just one treatment?

A.Because skin boosters gradually create a healthier environment starting from within the skin,

​

​

you may feel an improvement in texture even after a single treatment.

​

However,the cumulative effect is usually more noticeable when treatments are received consistently, typically 3 or more times at 3–4 week intervals,we have observed.

Q. After the procedure, do embossing or redness last a long time?

A.Due to the nature of delivering active ingredients directly into the dermis,a slight embossing effect or redness may occur immediately after the procedure.

​

However, this is a natural settling process as the ingredients are absorbed,

​

​

and it generally improves within several hours to 1–2 days, so it does not significantly interfere with daily life.

Q. I’m worried because I heard it can be very painful—do you use anesthesia?

A. Because the procedure involves delivering through the skin with a needle, you may feel a mild stinging or prickling sensation.

​

​

Topical anesthetic cream can be applied before the procedure to reduce discomfort, and the degree of pain can vary depending on the procedure method and the individual.
