Treatment Overview
Vitamin C Ion Therapy is a non-invasive Korean dermatology treatment that uses iontophoresis technology to deliver highly concentrated Vitamin C deep into the skin. By applying a gentle electric current, Vitamin C molecules penetrate past the epidermal barrier for maximum absorption.
For thin or thinning skin, Vitamin C Ion Therapy strengthens the dermis by stimulating collagen synthesis, brightening the skin, and protecting against UV-induced free radical damage. It is often combined with Skin Boosters, Rejuran, or Exosome Therapy to enhance regenerative outcomes.
Purpose & Benefits
- Collagen Stimulation: Vitamin C promotes natural collagen production, helping thicken fragile skin.
- Elasticity & Firmness: Strengthens thinning skin for better resilience.
- Brightening Effect: Reduces dullness and pigmentation from UV damage.
- Antioxidant Protection: Shields thinning skin from oxidative stress and further breakdown.
- Barrier Repair: Improves hydration and reinforces fragile skin.
- Gentle & Non-Invasive: Safe for sensitive or thin skin with no downtime.
- Synergy: Works well with lasers, PRP, or PN boosters.
