"Is Rejuran good, or is Juvelook good?"

Skin Booster consultations usually begin with this question.

But I ask in return: What is bothering you the most right now?

Even for procedures with the same name, the results can vary depending on which concern they are used for.

Please take just 1 minute to read this.

We Divide Concerns into Six Categories

ConcernMain CauseApproach
Pores & ElasticityDermal elasticity reductionRegeneration-based, to boost elasticity
Sensitivity & TroubleBarrier damage, frequent inflammationPrioritize soothing and barrier recovery
Rough skin textureDisrupted exfoliation cycleSkin texture refinement
Inner dryness & DehydrationReduced moisture retentionMoisture-binding
Dull toneCirculation & pigment factorsTone improvement
Lost volumeFat & collagen reductionVolume induction

Starting from the left column of this table, rather than the product name, naturally narrows down the options.

Why Choosing a Product First Can Go Wrong

Even if Skin Boosters seem similar in name, their ingredients and target layers differ.

If you expect elasticity from a moisture-retaining type, you may feel less effect, and if you expect immediate hydration from a regenerative type, you may be disappointed.

A significant part of why reviews vary so much lies here.

It's not because the procedure is bad, but because there's a mismatch between expectation and target.

(※ Effects and reactions may vary depending on individual skin condition, and suitability for the procedure is determined through consultation with medical staff.)

It's Rare to Have Only One Concern

In reality, two or three concerns are often mixed.

For example, dry skin with rough skin texture and a dull tone.

In such cases, targeting everything at once may mean that nothing is adequately addressed.

Therefore, we address the most significant concern first, and then move on to the next concern over several sessions.

What comes first usually aligns with what you notice first when you look in the mirror.

Reasons for Dividing into Sessions

Most Skin Boosters are not completed in a single session.

They are structured to build up results over time, allowing the skin to react and recover, so the interval between sessions affects the outcome.

If the interval is too short, the burden of recovery may overlap; if it's too long, the effect of the previous session may fade before starting again.

The appropriate interval varies by ingredient and will be determined during consultation.

The reasons why reviews vary from person to person were also covered in Why Gangnam Skin Booster Reviews Disagree.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Skin Booster is the best?

It varies depending on your concern. It is less likely to go wrong if you determine whether moisture, regeneration, elasticity, or tone is the main issue, and then choose the ingredients.

What if I have multiple concerns?

Targeting everything at once may mean that nothing is adequately addressed. The approach is to address the most significant concern first and then move on to others over several sessions.

Can I receive it only once?

Most are structured to build up results over several sessions. The appropriate interval varies by ingredient and will be determined during consultation.

What are the reactions after the procedure?

Red spots, swelling, or bruising may appear at the injection sites. The extent and duration may vary among individuals.

Can I refer to reviews?

It is difficult to compare if the reviewer's skin condition and targeted concerns differ from yours. It is better to determine your main concern first before looking at reviews.

Recovery and Downtime: Progress of Injection-Based Procedures

Red spots or small swelling may remain for a day or two along the injection sites, and bruising may last a few more days if it occurs.

It is advisable to avoid saunas and strong massages for the first two days.

Results appear over several sessions, so it is best not to judge after just one session.

How is the Cost Determined?

The cost is not determined by the price of a single product.

It varies depending on which areas are treated, how many sessions are planned in total, and whether different ingredients are combined.

Whether anesthesia and post-procedure soothing care are included also affects the cost.

For an accurate cost, it is best to provide guidance after a consultation to assess your skin condition.
