Treatment Overview
Lifting Skin Booster Injections are minimally invasive treatments designed to improve skin elasticity, firmness, and hydration while providing a subtle lifting effect. Unlike dermal fillers that add volume, lifting skin boosters deliver bioactive ingredients such as polynucleotides (PN/PRN), hyaluronic acid, peptides, amino acids, and vitamins directly into the dermis. These ingredients stimulate collagen and elastin production, repair damaged skin, and restore youthful resilience.
In Korean dermatology clinics, Lifting Skin Booster Injections are often used for body areas prone to sagging, such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, and knees. They are frequently combined with HIFU, Thermage, RF lifting, or thread lifting to enhance skin tightening and anti-aging effects.

- Lifting Effect: Subtle firming and improved skin structure.
