Skin boosters at our Apgujeong clinic, in one paragraph
A skin booster is an injectable that improves skin quality, such as hydration, elasticity, texture and fine lines, rather than changing face shape. Products differ: hyaluronic acid boosters mainly hydrate, polynucleotide (PN) and PDRN boosters support repair, and collagen stimulators firm gradually. At Ever Skin Clinic in Apgujeong, Gangnam, a board-certified dermatologist chooses the product, injection depth, dose and schedule after assessing your skin and goals.

The treatment
Types of skin boosters we use
Boosters are placed in small amounts within or just beneath the skin. Because each product works differently, choosing the right one matters more than the brand name. For example, Rejuran is a PN booster suited to texture and repair, while collagen stimulators such as Juvelook work gradually on firmness and pores.
Boosters are not fillers. Fillers restore volume and contour; boosters improve the skin itself, and the two are often combined in one plan.
Main booster families
- Hyaluronic acid boosters : hydration and a smoother, radiant look
- PN and PDRN boosters : repair, elasticity and texture, including delicate areas
- Collagen-stimulating boosters : gradual firmness, pores and fine lines
- Regenerative treatments : growth-factor or exosome-based support after assessment
Is it right for you?
Who skin boosters suit
Boosters suit people who want healthier-looking skin with limited downtime. They are often used for the full face, under-eyes, neck, decolletage and hands, with products and depths adjusted for each area.
Prominent eye bags, deep hollows or significant laxity usually need a different treatment, such as filler or lifting, so the cause is assessed first.
Boosters may help if you have
- Dry, dehydrated or dull skin
- Fine lines and reduced elasticity
- Enlarged pores or uneven texture
- Crepey under-eye skin
- Post-acne skin irregularities

Questions we hear every day
Skin Booster Clinic Apgujeong FAQ
Which skin booster is right for me?
It depends on your main concern. Hyaluronic acid boosters suit dehydration, PN boosters suit texture and repair, and collagen stimulators suit firmness and pores. Your dermatologist will recommend a product after examining your skin.
How many sessions do I need?
Many boosters work best as a course of two to four sessions a few weeks apart, followed by maintenance every few months. The exact plan depends on the product and your skin.
Do skin boosters hurt?
There are many small injections, so some discomfort is normal. Numbing cream is used, and some products contain local anaesthetic. Tell your dermatologist about your pain tolerance.
Are skin boosters the same as fillers?
No. Fillers add volume and change contour, while boosters improve skin quality such as hydration, texture and fine lines. Both can be combined when needed.
Can I have a skin booster before a flight or event?
Bumps and redness usually settle within one to three days, so allow a few days before an important event. Flying the next day is generally fine; ask your dermatologist about your specific product.
