Treatment Overview
Skinboosters are one of Korea’s most popular non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments, designed to deeply hydrate, plump, and improve skin quality from within. Unlike dermal fillers that restore facial volume, skinboosters are micro-injections of hyaluronic acid (HA) or regenerative solutions (such as polynucleotides, peptides, or exosomes) delivered across the skin to improve texture, elasticity, and radiance.
In Korea, skinboosters are considered a cornerstone of the “glass skin” trend. They are used not only for the face but also for the neck, hands, and décolleté, making them a versatile option for anti-aging. Popular brands include Rejuran Healer, Juvederm Volite, Restylane Skinboosters, Aquashine, BeBe Fill, Chanel Injection, and Juvelook.
