Treatment Overview
Microinjection Vitamin C Therapy in Korea is a minimally invasive dermatology procedure designed to brighten the skin, reduce pigmentation, and stimulate collagen production. By delivering concentrated Vitamin C directly into the dermal layer using fine microinjections, this therapy ensures high absorption and rapid results, targeting dullness, uneven skin tone, and early signs of aging.
Korean dermatology clinics have refined this treatment with precision microinjection techniques, advanced devices, and customized serum formulations, often combining it with Glutathione, Collagen, or Amino Acid injections to further enhance whitening, hydration, and rejuvenation outcomes.
