What is a skin booster?
A skin booster is an injectable skin-regeneration treatment that delivers active ingredients into the dermis to improve hydration, elasticity and overall skin quality, rather than adding volume the way a structural filler does. It is administered as a series of micro-injections across the treatment area using a fine needle.
The category covers several distinct molecules. Rejuran uses polynucleotide (PN) derived from purified DNA fragments to support tissue repair. Juvelook is a poly-D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA) collagen stimulator, and Sculptra uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA); both work gradually by prompting the skin's own collagen production. A water-glow injection (mesotherapy-style hydration) typically combines hyaluronic acid with supporting nutrients for surface hydration. A licensed physician selects the molecule, dose and depth at consultation.
How skin boosters work and what to expect
A typical session takes 20–40 minutes, often after a topical numbing cream is applied. Hydration-type boosters can show a visible glow within days, whereas collagen-stimulating boosters such as Juvelook and Sculptra build their result gradually over weeks as new collagen forms. A standard course is around 3–4 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart, with periodic maintenance thereafter.
Downtime is usually minimal. Small injection bumps, redness or pinpoint bruising can appear and generally settle within 1–3 days. The treating clinic provides specific aftercare, such as keeping the area clean and avoiding intense heat or vigorous exercise for the first day.

Clinical evidence
Polynucleotide-based skin boosters have been studied for skin rejuvenation; a clinical evaluation of polynucleotide injection for facial skin quality was reported by Lee et al. (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2023; doi:10.1111/jocd.15462).
Poly-L-lactic acid as a collagen-stimulating injectable has a longer evidence base for gradual dermal collagen induction (Goldberg et al., Dermatologic Surgery, 2013; doi:10.1111/dsu.12117). Suitability, product choice and dosing are determined individually by a physician at consultation.

FAQ

A typical course is 3–4 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart, then periodic maintenance. The exact plan is set by the treating physician based on your skin condition at consultation.
Is there any downtime after a skin booster?
Downtime is usually minimal. Small injection bumps, redness or pinpoint bruising may appear and generally settle within 1–3 days. Most people return to normal activity the same day.
What is the difference between Rejuran, Juvelook and Sculptra?
Rejuran uses polynucleotide (PN) for tissue repair and hydration, Juvelook is a PDLLA collagen stimulator, and Sculptra uses PLLA to build collagen over time. The clinic recommends the most suitable molecule at consultation; pricing starts around ₩165000 ($120) per 1cc for Rejuran HB+.
Who performs the injections?
A licensed physician (Aesthetic Medicine Specialist) at a KHIDI-registered clinic performs the assessment and injections. Book Korea Medical only matches and coordinates — we never render clinic contact details directly.
