Skin Booster – Rejuran in Seoul
Skin Booster – Rejuran Seoul treatments have become one of the more frequently requested procedures among visitors seeking improvements in skin texture and overall skin quality while in the city. At Himi Clinic, located in Gangnam-gu, this treatment category includes several injectable skin boosters, such as Rejuran, Retoure, and Gouri, each formulated to address surface texture, hydration, and the appearance of pores. This page explains what the treatment involves, who tends to benefit, and what to expect before booking a consultation.
What it is
Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to support skin hydration and texture rather than to reshape facial contours. Rejuran is a polynucleotide-based injectable that has become widely used in Korean clinics for improving skin resilience and smoothness. Retoure and Gouri are additional formulations offered at Himi Clinic that also target texture and pore appearance, though the exact composition and mechanism can differ between products. These treatments are typically administered as a series of fine injections across the treated area, most often the face, though some patients request treatment on the neck or other areas depending on their concerns.
It is worth noting that skin boosters are not a substitute for treatments targeting deeper wrinkles, volume loss, or skin laxity. They are generally categorized as texture-focused treatments, meaning the visible changes tend to be gradual improvements in smoothness, tone evenness, and pore appearance rather than dramatic structural change.
Who it suits
This type of treatment is commonly considered by people who are noticing rougher skin texture, enlarged-looking pores, dullness, or early signs of skin quality decline. Many patients seeking a Rejuran Seoul consultation are looking for a lower-downtime option compared to more invasive procedures, and want a treatment that can be incorporated into an ongoing skincare routine rather than a single dramatic intervention. People preparing for a special event who want subtle refinement, as well as those interested in longer-term skin maintenance, often ask about this category of treatment during consultation.
Who should avoid it
As with most injectable treatments, skin boosters are not appropriate for everyone. Individuals with active skin infections, open wounds, or significant inflammation in the treatment area are generally advised to postpone treatment until the skin has healed. People with known allergies to any component of the specific product being considered should discuss this directly with the treating doctor beforehand. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals are typically advised against elective injectable treatments. Anyone with a bleeding disorder, or who is taking blood-thinning medication, should disclose this during consultation, as it may affect bruising risk and suitability. Because individual medical history varies, a consultation with the clinic is necessary to confirm candidacy rather than relying on general guidance alone.
How the session goes
A typical visit begins with a consultation where the doctor reviews the patient's skin concerns, medical history, and expectations. Depending on the assessment, a topical numbing cream may be applied to reduce discomfort during injection. The chosen product, whether Rejuran, Retoure, or Gouri, is then injected in a series of small, evenly spaced points across the treatment area using a fine needle. Sessions are generally completed within a relatively short clinic visit, though exact timing can vary based on the treatment area and the number of points addressed. Some patients report mild stinging or pressure during injection, which is usually described as tolerable rather than severe.
Because results from skin boosters tend to build gradually, a course of multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart is commonly recommended rather than a single visit. The doctor at Himi Clinic can advise on a suggested schedule based on the individual's skin condition and goals during the initial consultation.
Downtime and recovery
Most patients experience some redness, small bumps, or mild swelling immediately after treatment, which usually subsides within a day or two. Bruising at injection points is possible and can take longer to resolve, sometimes up to a week or more, depending on the individual. Makeup can often be applied the following day once any pinpoint marks have settled, though this varies by patient and the clinic's specific aftercare advice should be followed. Sun protection is generally recommended in the days following treatment, as treated skin may be more sensitive. Strenuous exercise, sauna use, and alcohol consumption are often advised against for a short period after the session, though patients should confirm specific restrictions with their treating doctor.
It is important to understand that visible improvement from skin boosters is typically gradual and varies between individuals. Some people notice changes in texture within a couple of weeks, while for others it takes longer, and repeat sessions are often part of achieving and maintaining results.

Safety
Skin booster treatments at Himi Clinic are performed under the oversight of the clinic's Representative Director, Kwon Yu-kyung, who holds memberships in several Korean medical societies related to anti-aging medicine, obesity research, laser dermatology, filler treatment, and cosmetic laser medicine. As with any injectable procedure, there are potential side effects, including bruising, swelling, temporary redness, and rarely, infection or allergic reaction. Results and recovery experiences differ between individuals, and no clinic can guarantee a specific outcome. Patients are encouraged to disclose their full medical history during consultation and to ask questions about the specific product being recommended for their skin concern.
