Hello.
I am Director Hwang Jeong-bo of Cleor Clinic Gangnam.
Have you ever felt that your face in the mirror looks flatter than before
and noticed a loss of elasticity?
"I feel burdened by artificial filling like fillers,
but I want a change where the skin itself becomes firm."
Many people visit us with these concerns.
The sagging of skin and loss of elasticity
is due to the gradual decrease of collagen and elastin in the dermal layer as we age.
Collagen boosters work by replenishing these deficient components from within the skin
or stimulating the production of new ones.
At the Gangnam branch, we offer various lines with different mechanisms of action
so that you can choose according to your skin condition and goals.
Today, I will explain what Gangnam Collagen Boosters are,
and the differences between each product.
What is Gangnam Collagen Booster?
👉 Gangnam Collagen Booster is a procedure that restores skin elasticity and volume by stimulating new collagen production from within the skin
or directly replenishing dermal components.
While standard hyaluronic acid fillers immediately fill volume in specific areas,
collagen boosters are closer to refining the skin's internal foundation.
Skin boosters have evolved their mechanisms of action through generations.
Starting from methods that induce collagen production through signaling,
they have now progressed to directly replenishing dermal components
with the emergence of 4th generation ECM boosters.
Even among collagen boosters, the suitable skin condition varies depending on
which ingredients are used and how they function.
Types of Gangnam Collagen Boosters
👉 Gangnam Collagen Booster offers six different lineups with varying mechanisms of action.
Juvelook Volume and Eye
These are 3rd generation boosters where PDLLA stimulates collagen production.
Volume is tailored for overall facial elasticity, while Eye is designed for the thin skin under the eyes.
Sculptra and Radiesse
These are Premium Imported lines approved by the US FDA.
While Sculptra focuses on gradual collagen production using PLLA,
Radiesse
provides both immediate volume and collagen stimulation with CaHA components.
Lituo and Levix
These are categorized as 4th generation ECM boosters.
Unlike conventional boosters that induce collagen production through signals,
these directly replenish the dermis with human-derived acellular dermal matrix (hADM) components.
While Lituo is a powder type, Levix is a liquid type with more homogeneous micro-particles,
known for a formulation that reduces pain and the risk of clumping during injection.
Effects and Advantages of Gangnam Collagen Booster
👉 The core advantages of Gangnam Collagen Booster are summarized into three points:
refining the skin foundation, customized selection from various lineups, and natural changes.
First, it focuses on refining the skin foundation itself.
By acting on the dermal layer rather than just surface care,
it is known to lead to changes where elasticity and volume fill up from within.
Second, the diverse lineup allows for selection based on skin condition.
From lines that induce collagen production to those that directly fill ECM,
recommendations are made considering desired results and manageable downtime.
Finally, the changes tend to be natural.
Rather than an immediate filling method like fillers,
it tends to fill up gradually over time,
resulting in a less artificial appearance.
Who is Gangnam Collagen Booster for?
Those who feel a loss of overall skin elasticity
Those who find artificial filling like fillers burdensome
Those concerned about both fine lines and decreased skin thickness
Those worried about areas like thinning under-eyes or around the mouth
Those who want to choose a line that fits their skin condition rather than a single option
Side Effects and Things to Know Beforehand
👉 Since the mechanism of Gangnam Collagen Booster is gradual,
it is a procedure where changes stabilize when performed cumulatively at regular intervals rather than as a one-time treatment.
Temporary swelling, bruising, or fine marks may appear after the procedure.
Most are reported to subside within a few days.
PDLLA, PLLA, and CaHA series may rarely cause nodules or surface irregularities,
so appropriate dosage and uniform injection are crucial.
ECM boosters Lituo and Levix are based on human-derived components,
which are known to lower the possibility of allergies,
but a pre-procedure condition check is necessary.
Please inform us in advance as the procedure may be restricted in the following cases:
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
If there is acute inflammation, wounds, or herpes in the treatment area
If you have a history of allergies to the ingredients
If you have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease
If you are taking medications that increase bleeding tendency
⚠️ Precautions Before Gangnam Collagen Booster Procedure
1–2 Weeks Before the Procedure
If you have recently received other collagen boosters or fillers in the same area,
please check the possible timing during the pre-consultation.
Medications that increase bleeding tendency, such as aspirin, may increase bruising.
2–3 Days Before the Procedure
Excessive alcohol consumption can increase the possibility of bruising and swelling after the procedure,
so it is recommended to reduce intake as much as possible.
Day of the Procedure
Please visit the clinic with a clean face and no makeup after washing.
If you are taking any medications or have a history of allergies,
please inform us during the pre-consultation.
⚠️ Precautions After Gangnam Collagen Booster Procedure
Day of the Procedure
Do not press or massage the treated area firmly.
Avoid washing with hot water or using saunas.
3–7 Days After the Procedure
It is recommended to refrain from alcohol, saunas, jjimjilbangs, and strenuous exercise.
If you received PLLA or PDLLA series treatments,
you may be instructed to gently massage the treated area,
so please follow the director's instructions.
1–2 Weeks After the Procedure
Use sunscreen consistently,
and it is safer to maintain an interval before undergoing strong peeling or high-energy procedures.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. How is Gangnam Collagen Booster different from fillers?
While standard fillers immediately fill volume in specific areas,
collagen boosters induce collagen production or directly replenish dermal components
to refine the skin's internal foundation.
Q. Which Gangnam Collagen Booster line should I choose?
It depends on your skin condition and desired changes.
If immediate volume is needed, the Radiesse series is recommended;
if you want gradual elasticity changes, the PDLLA/PLLA series;
and if you want to replenish the dermal components themselves, ECM boosters are recommended.
Q. When will I see the effects of Gangnam Collagen Booster?
It varies by line, but series that induce collagen production
usually show gradual changes
over a period of 6 to 12 weeks.
ECM boosters are reported to provide hydration immediately after the procedure,
with skin density tending to increase over time.
Q. How many sessions of Gangnam Collagen Booster are required?
In most cases, changes stabilize when performed cumulatively at regular intervals.
Recommended sessions vary by line and individual differences.
Q. Is there a lot of bruising after Gangnam Collagen Booster?
We use micro-cannulas or fine needles to reduce the burden of bruising and swelling.
However, light bruising may occur depending on individual constitution,
and most are reported to subside within a few days.
Changes such as decreased skin elasticity and volume
are often difficult to address with surface care alone.
Gangnam Collagen Booster is a procedure that refines the skin foundation by inducing collagen production
or directly replenishing dermal components.
We offer six different lines with varying mechanisms, including Juvelook Volume and Eye, Sculptra, Radiesse, Lituo, and Levix,

during the consultation.
If you are concerned about restoring both skin elasticity and volume,
please feel free to visit Cleor Clinic Gangnam.
Even before deciding on a procedure, we will provide detailed guidance on your skin condition
and the appropriate collagen booster direction through a pre-consultation.
