Treatment Overview
Karisma is an Italian-origin bio-stimulatory skin booster now widely available in Korean dermatology clinics. It is formulated with hyaluronic acid (HA), recombinant human collagen type I, and the antioxidant peptide Argireline®, making it one of the first boosters designed to both stimulate collagen production and provide anti-wrinkle effects.
Unlike traditional boosters that focus only on hydration, Karisma improves skin density, firmness, and elasticity, while softening fine lines and enhancing facial contours. It is especially popular in Korea as a collagen-boosting anti-aging alternative to fillers or invasive procedures.
It belongs to the Skin Booster Combination Therapy family (Juvelook, Aqua Shine, Zenith PN Fusion, Exosome Therapy, Chanel Injection):
- Karisma: Best for collagen stimulation + firmness + wrinkle reduction.
- Juvelook: Best for scars + collagen regeneration.
- Aqua Shine: Best for hydration + elasticity.
- Derma Shine: Best for glass skin glow.
- Chanel Injection: Best for full nutrition.
- Exosome Therapy: Best for cellular anti-aging.
Purpose & Benefits
- Collagen Stimulation: Recombinant human collagen encourages dermal repair.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Argireline® peptide acts like a “botox peptide” for fine lines.
- Deep Hydration: HA plumps skin and smooths wrinkles.
- Firmness & Elasticity: Improves structural support of the dermis.
- Skin Remodeling: Enhances volume, resilience, and tone.
- Radiance & Glow: Improves texture and brightness.
- Synergy with Other Boosters: Works well with PN, PRP, and exosomes.
