[MediaFine = Reporter Oh Seo-yoon] In winter, many people experience rough skin, makeup caking, or more dryness and itching than usual. During winter, the relative humidity drops sharply due to cold, dry outdoor air and indoor heating. This increases skin moisture evaporation, making the skin easily dry and sensitive. Repeated moisture loss weakens the skin barrier function, leading to issues like dead skin cells, breakouts, tightness, and wrinkles.
In this state, the skin's ability to retain moisture and defend against external stimuli is diminished, making it often difficult to sufficiently improve inner dryness and reduced elasticity with only surface moisturizing. When the skin barrier is weakened, the absorption of active ingredients in cosmetics also decreases, making it hard to feel satisfactory changes even when using highly functional products.
If you feel that everyday skincare alone has limitations in restoring your skin's condition, injection-based treatments that deliver active ingredients directly to the skin's dermal layer can be helpful. These treatments go beyond simple hydration to improve the skin's structure and function, creating an environment for skin regeneration and promoting collagen production to help maintain healthy skin in the long term.
A representative treatment is a skin booster. This is an injection treatment that delivers active ingredients directly to the skin's dermal layer to comprehensively improve the skin's moisturizing environment and overall condition. Especially in winter, when the skin's ability to retain moisture can rapidly decrease, skin boosters are often used as a foundational step in skincare.
Skin boosters, used as a basic treatment to improve inner dryness in winter, help strengthen the skin's moisture retention, refine skin texture, and alleviate makeup creasing and dead skin cell prominence. Therefore, if dryness is severe but strong energy-based treatments are burdensome, it is suitable for use as a treatment to stabilize the skin condition.
Skin boosters include Rejuran, Juvelook, and Rejuvelook. Rejuran is an injection treatment utilizing PN components that aid in skin regeneration, aiming to restore the skin barrier damaged by external stimuli and dry environments in winter. It deeply hydrates the skin, alleviating persistent dryness, stabilizing sensitive skin conditions, and improving skin texture. As the skin's fundamental strength can easily decline in winter, Rejuran treatment, which helps restore the skin to a recovery phase, is beneficial. It can also be safely applied to skin that is easily reddened and sensitive due to inner dryness.
Juvelook is an injection treatment that combines PDLLA microparticles and hyaluronic acid to induce a collagen production environment in the skin's dermal layer, applied when concerns about reduced elasticity and fine wrinkles arise in winter. By activating collagen, it helps improve skin density and elasticity, reduce fine wrinkles, and enhance a dull-looking complexion. It is a structural approach that helps the skin restore elasticity on its own, rather than simply filling volume, making it suitable for those who desire natural changes.
Rejuvelook is a treatment that combines Rejuran and Juvelook or applies them in stages, depending on the skin condition. One can expect the skin barrier to be restored with Rejuran and skin elasticity and density to be improved with Juvelook. This is a method of managing inner dryness and reduced elasticity, common in winter, in stages, with the treatment plan varying based on the medical professional's diagnosis of the skin condition.
Winter is a time when UV exposure is low and outdoor activities are reduced, making post-injection care easier. Furthermore, it is a season where skin changes are clearly visible, making it easy to feel the effects of the treatment, thus offering seasonal advantages for injection treatments. However, after the treatment, sufficient moisturizing care, UV protection, and indoor humidity control must be combined to enhance treatment satisfaction.
Dr. Kim Yoon-hyun of 1mm Plastic Surgery explained, “In winter, maintaining skin moisture and restoring the barrier are key management factors, and during this period, skin boosters like Rejuran and Juvelook or injection treatments aimed at improving skin function can be a reasonable choice.”
Dr. Lee Dong-yoon of 1mm Plastic Surgery added, “Winter skin care is more about a staged approach to moisturizing, regeneration, and elasticity rather than a single treatment. After accurately diagnosing an individual's skin condition, combining skin boosters and regenerative injections appropriately can lead to more stable results.”
