Are you really injecting collagen yourself?


Hello.
I am Chief Director Kim Ha-won.
Recently, around us,
"I got a collagen booster",
have you heard it often?
But did you know that the treatments we commonly know,
such as Sculptra, Radiesse, and Juvederm,
do not actually inject collagen directly?
Did you know that?

So what have we been receiving until now?
You don't have to worry.
It's not that they don't work.
To be precise, these treatments are 'collagen-stimulating injections'.
They stimulate the skin to encourage it to produce collagen on its own.
But here's the thing.
There are treatments that actually inject collagen directly.
✨Let me introduce you to Retizen today.
Why Retizen is special

Retizen directly injects purified high-purity animal collagen
into the dermis layer of the skin.
While other treatments induce collagen production,
Retizen directly delivers collagen itself.
Here are the advantages.
🩵Stays on the skin for up to 6 months or longer.
🩵The skin texture becomes noticeably smoother.
🩵Elasticity is firmly restored.
🩵Effects start immediately.
What is different?
If your skin texture is rough, pores are wide, and elasticity has decreased,
moisturizing alone is insufficient.
Other collagen treatments show effects gradually,
but Retizen's effects start immediately upon injection.
Three improvements happen simultaneously.
🩵Skin texture refinement.
🩵Elasticity enhancement.
🩵Skin density improvement.
Where can it be injected?
There’s another advantage of Retizen.
It can be safely used in areas with thin skin.
🩵Around the eyes
It is effective for fine lines and improving elasticity.
🩵Forehead and between the brows
Helps reduce expression lines.
🩵Cheeks
When pore and skin texture refinement is needed.
🩵Nasolabial folds
When you want to enhance skin density.
🩵Chin and neck line
When skin texture refinement is needed.
Especially around sensitive areas such as the eyes or cheeks,
it shows more uniform and natural results.
How many times do you need to get it?

Typically, it is recommended every 2-3 times at intervals of 3-4 weeks.
However, there is individual variability.
Many feel a difference even after just one session,
and the effects usually last over 6 months.
It definitely tends to last longer than other treatments.
How much pain is there?
Even with numbing cream,
as it goes deep into the dermis,
you may feel a sting or pressure.
And since it's animal collagen,
there may rarely be allergic reactions.
If you visit a Retizen clinic,
it is recommended to have a skin test and consultation before the procedure.
Let me tell you about side effects
🩵 Bruising or swelling
May occur temporarily immediately after the injection. Most disappear within a few days.
🩵Pain or tenderness
Can occur as it is injected deep.
🩵Allergic reactions
Very rare but possible. So prior testing is important.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes, it is possible.
Rather, the synergistic effect is good.
There are recommended combinations.

When combined with lifting (Ultherapy), you can improve elasticity and skin texture at the same time.
Also, when used with skin boosters or aqua glow injections, you can enhance moisture and density together.
The order and intervals must be discussed with the medical staff.
