Treatment Overview
Vitamin & Growth Factor Injections are a popular non-surgical skin rejuvenation therapy in Korea, designed to revitalize tired, dull, or aging skin by delivering essential nutrients, antioxidants, and bioactive growth factors directly into the dermis. Unlike oral supplements or topical creams, these injections allow for maximum absorption and cellular stimulation, ensuring visible improvements in skin glow, elasticity, and texture.
Korean dermatologists often administer these treatments as part of mesotherapy or skin booster protocols, combining vitamins, amino acids, peptides, and growth factors with hyaluronic acid or regenerative boosters (like PRP or exosomes). This multi-layered approach restores radiance while stimulating collagen and repairing cellular damage, creating the signature K-Beauty “glass skin” look.
Purpose & Benefits
- Skin Brightening: Reduces dullness, pigmentation, and uneven tone.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Softens fine lines and improves skin texture.
- Deep Hydration: Restores moisture with hyaluronic acid blends.
- Collagen Stimulation: Growth factors activate fibroblasts for firmer skin.
- Scar & Pore Refinement: Improves acne scars and shrinks enlarged pores.
- Antioxidant Protection: Neutralizes free radicals, slowing skin aging.
- Natural Glow: Creates a radiant, healthy complexion from within.
