Skin booster
A skin booster is a cosmetic procedure that injects moisturizing or skin-conditioning ingredients, like hyaluronic acid, directly into the skin to make it look smoother and more supple.
A skin booster is a cosmetic injection that places moisturizing or skin-conditioning ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, directly under the skin rather than on its surface. It is meant to make skin look smoother and more supple, though results depend on the ingredient and how it is injected. In Korea, newer booster ingredients made from salmon-derived or human tissue-derived material have drawn attention, and lawmakers have recently raised questions about how well these newer products are checked for safety. Because the field is evolving quickly, anyone considering a skin booster should ask a licensed provider which ingredient is used and how it has been reviewed.
