Skin booster
Through a fine needle, we place thin, fluid hyaluronic acid into the dermis in tiny droplets to improve skin texture and dryness.
Depth: dermis This is a model, so layer thickness is not to scale.
How it works
Examination firstIf acne is severe, we start with medication, which is covered by National Health Insurance (NHI).
01What it uses
Thin, fluid hyaluronic acid
We use hyaluronic acid that is thinner than filler, so it spreads evenly through the dermis rather than adding volume.
02Which layer
Dermis
With a fine needle, we place small droplets close together across the whole face, from the upper to the middle dermis.
03How it works
Droplets spread and hold water
The droplets spread through the dermis and hold on to water. The body absorbs them slowly, so sessions are spaced out, and the change differs for each person.
Concerns and how it works
If this sounds like you
- My skin feels dry underneath, and my makeup looks patchy
- The texture of my skin feels rough and dull
- I’m seeing fine, crepey lines
Hyaluronic acid in the dermis holds water and helps support the skin. When age, UV light, and dry air reduce it, skin feels dry underneath and its texture looks rough. A skin booster (a hyaluronic acid skin injection) delivers thin, fluid hyaluronic acid evenly into the dermis, usually in three sessions 2–4 weeks apart.

Common questions
What people often ask about skin booster
How much pain should I expect?
After numbing cream, a fine needle is used at many points. You will feel stinging throughout the 20–30 minutes of treatment, and how it feels varies from person to person.
How long will it take me to recover?
Needle marks and mild swelling last 1–3 days. A bruise, if one forms, can last longer.
How many sessions will I need?
Usually 3 sessions, 2–4 weeks apart. After the third, we check your skin again and decide on the next interval.
Can I combine it with other treatments?
If you also have enlarged pores or fine scars, one fractional laser session can be added on a separate day (an optional add-on in the Danjeong Glow program).
