Treatment Overview
Skin Booster Injections are micro-injections of hyaluronic acid (HA), polynucleotides (PNs), peptides, vitamins, and growth factors delivered into the dermis to repair and hydrate skin from within. Unlike fillers, skin boosters do not add bulk but instead restore elasticity, stimulate collagen production, and improve overall skin quality.
For stretch marks (striae), skin booster injections help by repairing dermal tears, hydrating thin skin, improving elasticity, and fading scar-like lines. In Korea, they are often combined with microneedling, CO₂ lasers, or PRP/Exosome therapy for stronger results.
Purpose & Benefits
- Collagen & Elastin Boost: Stimulates regeneration in damaged dermis.
- Hydration & Repair: HA and PNs restore plumpness and resilience.
- Texture Smoothing: Softens the ridged or scar-like feel of striae.
- Pigment Correction: Helps reduce redness in new marks and whitish discoloration in old marks.
- Barrier Strengthening: Improves skin thickness to prevent further damage.
- Synergy: Works best with lasers, Dermapen, PRP, or exosomes.
Ideal Candidates
Skin Booster Injections in Korea for stretch marks are recommended for:
- Adults with mild to moderate stretch marks.
- Patients with thin, dry, or fragile skin in stretch mark areas.
- Those seeking hydration + regeneration rather than aggressive resurfacing.
Comparison with other treatments:
- Skin Boosters: Best for hydration + elasticity repair.
- Rejuran Healer/S: Best for DNA-level regeneration and scar remodeling.
- PRP Therapy: Best for natural healing and collagen growth.
- Exosome Therapy: Best for advanced cellular regeneration.
- Fractional CO₂ Laser: Best for deep remodeling of stubborn striae.
Possible Risks & Complications

- Redness or Pinpoint Bumps: Common, fade within 24–48 hours.
- Swelling or Bruising: Temporary, depending on injection sites.
