Skin Boosters in Korea Compared
Yaan Clinic · Gangnam, Seoul
Skin boosters are injectable treatments that improve skin quality—hydration, texture, elasticity and tone—rather than reshaping the face. In Korea, the main options are Rejuran (PN), Juvelook (PDLLA), Skinvive (HA microdroplets) and Re2O (human-dermis ECM). Yaan Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul offers all four and matches the booster to your main concern.

Skin boosters in Korea are injectable treatments designed to improve skin quality—hydration, texture, elasticity, pores and tone—without changing your facial shape. At Yaan Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, the doctors use several boosters, including Rejuran Healer, Juvelook, Skinvive and Re2O, and often combine them depending on what your skin needs.
Korea is known worldwide for skin boosters, and the choice can feel overwhelming. This guide explains how the main products differ, what each is best for, and how to decide—so you can arrive at your consultation with clear questions.
What are skin boosters?
Skin boosters are injectables placed in or just under the skin to improve its condition rather than to add volume. They use ingredients such as polynucleotide (PN), PDLLA, hyaluronic acid microdroplets or extracellular matrix (ECM) to hydrate, repair or rebuild collagen.
Fillers and boosters are sometimes confused. A filler such as hyaluronic acid gel is placed to restore volume or shape. A booster is spread more evenly to change the quality of the skin. Some products sit in between—for example, Skin Plus-Hyal is a long-lasting dissolvable filler that people often compare with boosters.
Rejuran vs Juvelook vs Skinvive vs Re2O vs Skin Plus-Hyal: how do they compare?
Each booster works differently: Rejuran repairs, Juvelook builds collagen, Skinvive hydrates, Re2O supplies skin-matrix components, and Skin Plus-Hyal adds long-lasting dissolvable volume. The table summarizes what Yaan Clinic states about each.
| Rejuran Healer | Juvelook | Skinvive | Re2O Cell | Skin Plus-Hyal | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Main ingredient | Polynucleotide (PN) from salmon DNA | PDLLA + hyaluronic acid | Hyaluronic acid microdroplets | Human acellular dermal matrix (ECM) | Hyaluronic acid (bead structure) |
| Main action | Repair, regeneration | Collagen stimulation | Hydration, smoothness | Collagen, elastin and HA support | Long-lasting volume |
| Best for | Sensitive skin, redness, fine lines | Acne scars, pores, texture | Dull, dehydrated skin | Thin, dry skin lacking elasticity | Volume that can be dissolved |
| Results show | Over a course | From about 2 weeks, gradual | Relatively quickly | From about 3 weeks | Immediately |
| Duration (as stated) | Not stated | Long-lasting | About 6 months (manufacturer data) | Over 1 year | 2–3 years |
| Sessions at Yaan | 3 (day 1, 2–4 wks, 4–6 wks) | Based on skin | In VIP Collagen Package | Not fixed | Not fixed |
Which skin booster should I choose?
Start with your main concern. Choose Juvelook for scars and pores, Rejuran for sensitivity and redness, Skinvive for dullness and dehydration, and Re2O for thin skin that lacks elasticity. If several concerns overlap, a combination plan is common.
| Your main concern | Often recommended | Related guide |
|---|---|---|
| Acne scars and rough texture | Juvelook | Acne scar treatment |
| Enlarged pores | Juvelook, Skin Botox | Large pores & texture |
| Sensitive, red or damaged skin | Rejuran Healer, Re2O | Rosacea |
| Dull, dehydrated skin | Skinvive | Dull & uneven tone |
| Thin skin, loss of elasticity | Re2O Cell, Juvelook | Wrinkles & fine lines |
| Crepey under-eye skin | Juvelook Eye, Eye Rejuran | Under-eye hollows |
What is Rejuran Healer best for?
Rejuran Healer is best for sensitive, damaged or tired skin, redness, pores and fine lines. It uses polynucleotide refined from salmon DNA to support repair. Yaan Clinic's standard course is three sessions, and Rejuran HB Plus adds anesthetic and hyaluronic acid for comfort.
Yaan Clinic is a Rejuran Certified Genuine Product Clinic, verifying each product with a DOT seal, QR code and NFC tag.
What is Juvelook best for?
Juvelook is best for acne scars, enlarged pores and uneven texture. It combines PDLLA and hyaluronic acid to stimulate collagen gradually. Yaan Clinic is a Juvelook Meister Key Doctor clinic and had used over 1,000 genuine vials by March 2025.
The Juvelook family also includes Juvelook Volume for deeper volume loss and Juvelook Eye for the under-eye area.
What is Skinvive best for?
Skinvive is best for dull, dehydrated skin that lacks glow. It is a hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable by Allergan. At Yaan Clinic, Skinvive 2 cc is part of the VIP Collagen Package rather than a separately priced treatment.
What is Re2O Cell best for?
Re2O Cell(Elravie Re2O) is best for thin, dry skin lacking elasticity. It is made from human acellular dermal matrix, which Yaan Clinic describes as 89% collagen. Treatment takes within 20 minutes, with results from about three weeks.
Yaan Clinic was selected for the Elravie Re2O Silver Club in 2026.
Where does Skin Plus-Hyal fit in?
Skin Plus-Hyal is a long-lasting hyaluronic acid filler rather than a pure booster. Yaan Clinic says it lasts two to three years and, unlike permanent fillers, can be dissolved. It suits people who want natural volume that is reversible.
Yaan Clinic is a Skin Plus-Hyal Key Doctor clinic. If your main goal is volume, also see filler vs collagen stimulators.
Can skin boosters be combined with lasers or lifting?
Yes. Boosters improve skin quality, while lasers and lifting devices address tone, pigmentation or firmness, so they complement each other. Yaan Clinic builds boosters into several lifting packages and pairs them with lasers when needed.
- Rejuran Healer 2 cc is included in the ALMA Premium Lifting Package (2,600,000 KRW) and Ultimate Sofwave Package (3,100,000 KRW).
- The VIP Collagen Package (2,300,000 KRW) combines Skinvive, Eye Rejuran, Re2O and Skin Botox.
- Juvelook may be paired with Excel V, Secret laser or PicoLaser. For a full plan, see glass skin treatment.
Prices are Yaan Clinic's 2026 guide prices in KRW, excluding VAT. See the treatment prices page.
Are skin boosters safe?
Skin boosters are generally considered low-risk when genuine products are injected by trained doctors. Temporary bumps, redness, swelling and bruising are common. Rarer risks include infection, nodules or allergic reaction; your doctor will discuss these at consultation.
Good to know: Product authenticity matters. Yaan Clinic uses genuine products at the correct dosage, and doctors inject directly with no substitute practitioners. See genuine products and safety.

Frequently asked questions
What is a skin booster?
A skin booster is an injectable that improves the quality of the skin itself—hydration, texture, elasticity, pores or tone—rather than adding volume or changing facial shape. Different boosters use different ingredients, such as polynucleotide, PDLLA, hyaluronic acid or extracellular matrix.
Which skin booster is best for acne scars?
For acne scars, collagen-stimulating boosters such as Juvelook are usually the first choice, because rebuilding collagen helps lift depressed scars over time. Yaan Clinic often pairs Juvelook with Secret laser for scars and pores. Your doctor will assess scar type at consultation.
Which skin booster is best for sensitive skin?
Rejuran Healer is often chosen for sensitive, irritated or damaged skin because polynucleotide supports repair. Re2O can also be used on sensitive skin after assessment, according to Yaan Clinic. Your doctor will check your skin barrier before recommending a product.
Is Skin Plus-Hyal a skin booster?
Not exactly. Skin Plus-Hyal is a long-lasting, dissolvable hyaluronic acid filler used for volume, which Yaan Clinic says can last two to three years. It is included here because people often compare it with boosters, but its main role is volume rather than skin quality.
Can I combine different skin boosters?
Yes. Combining boosters is common in Korea because each targets a different cause of tired skin. Yaan Clinic's VIP Collagen Package, for example, combines Skinvive, Eye Rejuran, Re2O and Skin Botox in one plan. Your doctor will decide what is safe to combine.
How much do skin boosters cost at Yaan Clinic?
At Yaan Clinic, skin boosters start at ₩250,000 for Rejuran S 1cc. Rejuran Healer 2cc is ₩350,000, Juvelook Skin Booster ₩490,000, Skinvive 2cc ₩600,000 and Re2O ₩790,000 (full face). International patients pay the same price as Korean patients, and the final price is confirmed at consultation.
