Step-by-step

  1. Consultation: Dr. Lee Da-in reviews your concerns (dryness and inner tightness, fine lines), medical history, medications and past treatments.
  2. Treatment plan: areas (full face, around the eyes, neck), intensity or dose, and the expected course are explained.
  3. Preparation: cleansing, then anaesthesia — numbing cream.
  4. Treatment: performed with Skin booster injections and delivery devices (e.g. DermaShine), taking about 20–40 minutes (plus numbing time).
  5. Calming and going home: soothing care if needed and aftercare instructions. Downtime: small bumps for a few hours to a day; bruising is possible.

How it works

Skin boosters deliver active ingredients in tiny amounts into the dermis to improve hydration, texture and firmness of the skin itself. 'Custom' means the ingredients (such as PN, HA or PDLLA types) and delivery method are combined for your skin.
