"I want to use a skin booster, but I don't know what's what."
This is something I hear very often in the counseling room.
Aqua Injection, Rejuran, Salmon Injection, Exosome, Juvelux Skin..
All of these are called skin boosters, but the ingredients they contain are all different.
Today, I'm using a skin booster. Ingredient StandardsI will organize it by dividing it into.
What goes in and what role those ingredients play in the skin
If you know just this, you won't get confused no matter how many types there are.
Various skin boosters
0. To start with the conclusion
Skin boosters are What to put inIt is divided into.
The criteria I use when counseling are five categories.
Mix these ingredients here and put them in all at once. Skin texture therapyThere is.
Let's look at them one by one.
1. Hyaluronic Acid - Replenishes moisture
Hyaluronic acid is a component naturally found in the dermis of our skin.
There are spots throughout the chain that hold water, so it embraces water hundreds of times its own weight.
As we age, the amount decreases, and a hyaluronic acid skin booster is designed to replenish that lost amount with the same ingredient.
Here, it branches out one more way. BridgeIt is whether or not you did it.
Even with the same hyaluronic acid, the time it stays in the body varies depending on whether or not it is cross-linked.
Water-glow injectionis not the official product name.
It is a general term for a procedure in which small amounts of non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid are injected widely into the shallow dermis.
It is thin and spreads well, but it breaks down quickly, so it lasts for about 1 to 2 months.
Belotero ReviveThis is an official product of Merz, Germany.
CPM cross-linked hyaluronic acid 20 mg/mL contains 17.5 mg/mL of glycerol.
When hyaluronic acid attracts water, glycerol holds onto it in the stratum corneum to prevent it from escaping.
So, not only does hydration increase, but the skin barrier also improves.
(The difference in ingredients between Aqua Injection and Revive is explained in detail in the previous post, "What Exactly Is the Difference Between Aqua Injection and Revive?")
2. PN - Creates an environment for the skin to recover.
PN (polynucleotide)It is a DNA fragment obtained from salmon.
It is known as a material that causes less foreign body sensation or rejection because its base composition is 97% similar to human DNA.
PN is a transparent gel with constant viscosity.
If you go inside the dermis Scaffold It creates an environment where the skin heals itself while performing its role.
It is not a procedure to fill in sunken areas and change the shape, but rather a procedure that improves the skin's foundation.
The flagship product RejuranAnd there are four types.
Even within the same PN, properties vary depending on the length of the DNA fragment.
Rejuran is manufactured using the manufacturer's (Pharmaresearch) patented DOT technology, adjusting the molecular weight range to suit the specific purpose of each product.
(The differences between the four types of Rejuran are summarized in the article "Types of Rejuran, What Are the Differences?")
3. PDRN - Reduces inflammation and accelerates recovery
Salmon injectionIt is a procedure called...
It is a nickname given because the raw materials are obtained from salmon, and the ingredients are PDRNno see.
Isn't Rejuran also salmon?
That is correct. Both are salmon-derived DNA.
The difference is Length of DNA chainno see.
Both are salmon-derived DNA, but they do different things depending on the chain length.
PN has long chains, so it remains in the dermis as a viscous gel, and
PDRN is a short fragment with low viscoelasticity, so it does not remain like a gel but breaks down within the tissue and emits signals.
As PDRN decomposes Adenosine A2A receptor Activate the path.
It lowers inflammatory signals and raises signals involved in tissue regeneration and angiogenesis.
Degraded nucleotides are recycled and reused as materials to repair damaged cells.
So, I share it like this.
Overall skin condition, such as fine lines, elasticity, and skin texture PN,
Irritated and sensitive skin, redness, and post-procedure recovery PDRN.
4. Exosomes - Transmit signals exchanged between cells
There is a reason why your skin is not recovering as quickly as it used to.
As the signals exchanged between skin cells slow down, recovery is slower even with the same stimulation, and redness persists for a long time.
ExozemIt is a very small endoplasmic reticulum that the cell produces and releases on its own.
It contains proteins, miRNA, and lipids, and these contents are transferred to adjacent cells all at once.
It is different from the method of adding only one growth factor.
There is one thing I absolutely must mention here.
The one we use ASCE+ SRLVis not an injection Topical productsno see.
Since it is a product distributed as a topical cosmetic, it uses the application method + exosome pumping tip or MTS, which is within the permitted scope.
Even good ingredients do not reach the cells well by simply applying them, so we first create tiny channels before applying them.
For exosome products, you must first look at the purification technology.
Since they are present in very low concentrations within the culture medium, the quality varies significantly depending on the process of filtering out impurities and leaving only exosomes.
5. PDLLA - Regenerates collagen
The reason skin texture becomes rough and fine lines increase is not solely due to a lack of moisture.
The dermis that supported the skin from the inside collagenThis is because the support decreases as it shrinks.
Jubelux SkinIt injects PDLLA and hyaluronic acid into the dermis,
It is a tissue repair material that stimulates the growth of collagen and elastin around the particles.
It works differently from hyaluronic acid skin boosters that replenish moisture.
So, it does not change the day after the procedure.
Instead, elasticity gradually increases over time, and the duration is the longest at 12 to 16 months.
(The differences between PDLLA and PLLA, CaHA, and PCL are explained in the post "The Golden Age of Collagen Boosters.")
6. Compare at a Glance
If you look at the table, 'how far it goes' varies quite a bit depending on the ingredient.
It takes 1 to 2 months for Aqua Injection and Rejuran, 3 to 6 months for Revive, and over 1 year for Juveluxkin.
Just because something lasts a long time doesn't automatically mean it's good; since each performs different functions, choosing the right one for your purpose is the priority.
7. So, what works for my skin?
It is rare to have only one concern.
It is often dry, has a rough texture, excessive sebum, and is prone to enlarged pores.
So, I mix skin boosters with different ingredients and put them in at once. Skin texture therapyI made.
PN, hyaluronic acid, and toxin are separate products that have each received approval, so they are not sold pre-mixed.
Therefore, immediately before the procedure, we open the product in front of the patient and mix it according to the specified ratio.
What and how much was administered is recorded exactly as it is in the procedure report.
8. In conclusion..
To summarize, it is as follows.
Hyaluronic acidIt replenishes moisture (water glow injection), and when glycerol is added, it retains it (revive).
PN(Rejuran) creates an environment for recovery, and PDRN(Salmon injection) reduces inflammation and accelerates recovery.
ExozemIt is a topical product that transmits cell signals, and PDLLA(Juveluxkin) regenerates collagen.
For skin boosters, you should look at the ingredient list first, rather than the name.
The product you choose depends on whether your skin needs moisture, recovery, or collagen right now.
