Quick answer
What are skin boosters?
Skin boosters are injectable treatments that improve skin quality rather than change shape or volume. Tiny amounts of hyaluronic acid, polynucleotides (PDRN/PN), polylactic acid or other regenerative ingredients are placed evenly in the upper dermis, where they hydrate, support repair and stimulate collagen.
Korea is known for a wide range of boosters, and the right one depends on your skin. For example, Rejuran Healer focuses on repair, while hyaluronic boosters focus on hydration. The doctor matches the product to your goals in Seoul.

FAQ
Skin Boosters questions
Which skin booster is right for me?
It depends on your goal: hyaluronic boosters for hydration, PDRN or Rejuran for repair and sensitivity, collagen stimulators for firmness. The doctor recommends one after examining your skin.
Do skin boosters hurt?
Numbing cream makes it tolerable. Most people feel small pricks, and thinner areas like under the eyes can be more sensitive.
How soon will I see results?
Hydration is often noticeable within days, with texture and glow improving over 2–4 weeks.
Can I fly after skin boosters?
Yes. Small bumps may still be visible for a day or two, but flying does not affect the result.
Do foreigners pay more?
No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
