As the summer season begins, interest in skin health care is increasing. This is because various environmental factors, such as strong ultraviolet rays, high temperatures, and increased use of air conditioners, affect the skin.
Especially in summer, skin moisture loss increases and skin barrier function weakens, leading to more people complaining about dryness, reduced elasticity, and rough skin texture.
Ultraviolet exposure is a major external contributor to skin aging. Excessive exposure can cause pigmentation concerns such as melasma, freckles and other dark spots, and can reduce collagen and elastin, promoting loss of elasticity and fine lines. Repeated UV exposure can also weaken the skin barrier, increasing sensitivity and vulnerability to external irritation.
As the skin environment changes during the summer, interest is focused on various care methods to improve skin condition. Recently, an increasing number of people are seeking skin booster treatments aimed at improving the skin environment.
Skin booster is a procedure that injects ingredients that help skin regeneration and moisture retention, such as hyaluronic acid, PN, and PDRN, into the dermal layer of the skin. It is generally known as a treatment to improve skin dryness, but its purpose is not simply to supply moisture, but to improve the overall skin condition and create a healthy skin environment.
When the moisture environment within the skin is stably maintained, it can help improve skin barrier function and enhance the skin's own recovery ability, positively affecting the alleviation of skin stress caused by external stimuli. In particular, it increases the defense against external environmental factors such as ultraviolet rays and can also help delay the loss of elasticity or the progression of skin aging due to photoaging. Therefore, during the summer with frequent sun exposure, it is considered important to not only manage moisture but also to improve skin health itself.
However, skin boosters do not produce the same effect in everyone. The appropriate treatment method and ingredients used may vary depending on skin type, degree of aging, cause of dryness, lifestyle habits, etc., so it is advisable to establish a personalized plan after sufficient consultation and diagnosis.
Kang Minji (dermatologist), director of JAYJUN Dermatology, said, “Skin Booster is a treatment that improves the moisture environment in the skin and helps restore skin barrier function and improve elasticity. It can be used to improve complex skin concerns such as dryness, poor skin texture, and fine wrinkles.” The doctor added, “It does not just improve internal dryness, but it can help maintain a healthier skin condition by improving the overall skin condition, so it can also be helpful in terms of skin aging management in the long run.”.
The doctor then advised, “After the procedure, you should pay attention to UV protection and moisturizing care. Rather than excessive procedures, care at appropriate intervals that take into account the skin recovery cycle helps increase satisfaction.”
