Which skin booster is right for me?
The one whose material matches your finding. If the complaint is a dull, thirsty-looking surface, hyaluronic acid delivered as micro-droplets is the direct answer. If the skin itself is damaged or thin, polynucleotide is the repair-oriented choice. If collagen has been lost, a lactic-acid stimulator rebuilds it slowly. If the face has deflated or needs structural support, calcium hydroxylapatite belongs in the conversation. Because Dear Clinic carries all five, the EVE Muse 3D diagnosis decides — and you approve the plan before anything is drawn up.
What is the difference between a skin booster and a filler?
A filler is placed to hold a shape: it sits in a planned pocket and projects a chin, a bridge or a fold. A booster is spread through the skin or the tissue plane to change quality, hydration or collagen content, and it is not trying to alter your outline at all. The confusion is understandable because some of the same materials appear in both categories — hyaluronic acid, for instance, does both jobs in different formulations. Which category you belong in is the first question your director settles.
How much do skin boosters cost in Seoul?
Published base units at Dear Clinic start at ₩100,000 (≈ $70) per cubic centimetre for Juvelook and ₩300,000 (≈ $215) for a 2 cc Rejuran Healer session, with hyaluronic-acid boosting from ₩450,000 (≈ $320) per cubic centimetre and vial-based collagen stimulators from ₩1,200,000 (≈ $855). Specialty areas and the eye-specific lines are priced separately. These are published rates, identical for residents and international visitors, and your total is confirmed once the volume and session count are planned.
Is Rejuran the same as the "salmon DNA" injection people talk about?
Yes — that popular nickname refers to PDRN, polydeoxyribonucleotide, a purified polynucleotide fraction derived from salmon DNA and the active ingredient in Rejuran Healer. Nothing about the name implies a fish product is injected as such; the material is a purified fraction manufactured to pharmaceutical standards by PharmaResearch. The line also includes eye-specific and HB variants, which are dosed and priced separately because the skin around the eye behaves differently.
Can I combine two boosters, or a booster with a lifting treatment?
Often, and combining is one reason to choose a clinic that carries the whole range. Repair-oriented and collagen-stimulating materials answer different findings, so a face short of both may be planned as a sequence with a set interval. Boosters also pair naturally with energy-based lifting, since one works on skin quality while the other works on laxity. What matters is that the combination follows a finding; a package price is never a clinical reason.
How much downtime should I expect?
Less than most people fear, but it is not zero. Expect visible injection points, brief redness and the possibility of bruising for a few days — makeup usually covers the marks the following day. Polynucleotide deposits can be briefly raised where they were placed, and collagen stimulators can swell from their diluent before settling. Hyaluronic-acid boosting is the lightest of the group. Saunas, alcohol and vigorous exercise are best postponed briefly after any of them.
When will I see a change?
It depends on the material. Hydration-led treatments read earliest, in the treated field. Collagen stimulators are the opposite: by design nothing appears on the day, and the change arrives only as your own collagen is laid down across a planned course. Repair-oriented boosters are judged over a course as well, which is why your director fixes the review date at the first appointment instead of quoting you a week number. Individual results vary with skin, age and lifestyle.
I have never had an injectable. Where should I start?
Start with the diagnosis. Which product your feed recommends is the least useful input in the room. In practice a first-timer whose finding is surface quality often begins with a hydration-led or repair-oriented booster: both are conservative, both simply wear off, and both are easy to build on. Collagen stimulators cost more, take months to read and commit you to a course, so they usually belong to a second conversation.
Can I have a booster the same day as my consultation?
Usually yes for a hydration-led or repair-oriented booster: diagnosis and consultation take about thirty minutes, and the injection can follow once your director confirms suitability. A vial-based collagen stimulator is a different proposition, because the first session starts a staged course, and we ask you to take that plan away and decide at home. The clinic is open 365 days a year including Sundays and public holidays, so a Sunday slot is an ordinary booking. Leave a day or two before an event; injection points need it.
Are prices the same for international visitors, and how do I book from abroad?
One published price list applies to everyone, shown in Korean won with a US dollar figure for reference; you can review it on our
price list page, and our
365-day opening page explains weekend and holiday scheduling. Boosters are quoted by unit — per cubic centimetre, per 2 cc session or per vial — so tell us your travel dates and your main concern on the form below and we will say which units your question is likely to involve. We reply in English within one business day and hold the slot without a deposit.
