Quick answer
What are collagen boosters?
Collagen boosters are injectable skin treatments that increase or support collagen in the dermis. Depending on the product, they either deliver collagen directly to act as a scaffold, or contain ingredients such as polylactic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite or polynucleotides that prompt your own fibroblasts to make more collagen.
They are chosen in Seoul for thinning, crepey skin, fine lines and loss of elasticity, especially on the cheeks, under the eyes and neck. The doctor will name the exact product used. For a deeper volume effect, see collagen stimulators.

FAQ
Collagen Boosters questions
How are collagen boosters different from fillers?
Fillers add volume and shape. Collagen boosters work at skin level to improve thickness, firmness and elasticity, with little change in shape.
Which product will be used?
It depends on your skin and area. The doctor explains the options, names the product and shows it before treatment.
Are they safe under the eyes?
Some collagen boosters are suitable for the thin under-eye skin. The doctor will advise based on your anatomy.
How soon can I return to sightseeing?
Usually straight away. Small bumps may be visible for a day or two.
Do foreigners pay more?
No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
