Collagen Booster Procedure: Step by Step from Consultation to Going Home
Step-by-step
- Consultation: Dr. Lee Da-in reviews your concerns (thinning skin, facial hollowing), medical history, medications and past treatments.
- Treatment plan: areas (cheeks, temples, around the nasolabial folds, full face), intensity or dose, and the expected course are explained.
- Preparation: cleansing, then anaesthesia — numbing cream.
- Treatment: performed with PLLA / PDLLA collagen stimulators, taking about 20–40 minutes.
- Calming and going home: soothing care if needed and aftercare instructions. Downtime: swelling or bruising for a few days.
How it works
Collagen boosters inject bio-absorbable ingredients such as poly-lactic acid (PLLA or PDLLA) that encourage your own collagen production over time. The aim is gradual restoration of firmness and volume rather than an instant change.
Tell the doctor before treatment
- Current medications (especially blood thinners or photosensitising drugs)
- Recent procedures and dates
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Keloid tendency
