Retigen Dermal Collagen Supplementation
Direct biocompatible dermal collagen supplementation therapy engineered to replenish extracellular collagen density, smooth rough skin micro-texture, and fortify weakened skin barriers.
Treatment Overview & Clinical Mechanism
Retigen is a direct, highly purified biocompatible dermal collagen supplementation treatment designed to replenish depleted extracellular matrix (ECM) collagen fibers directly within the dermis. Unlike indirect biostimulators that rely solely on delayed inflammatory fibroblast signaling, Retigen supplies structural collagen building blocks immediately to the dermal layer while providing an optimal microenvironment for ongoing fibroblast proliferation and barrier repair.
At ReYeonK Clinic, Dr. Lee Doochan, Dr. Kim Hyunsu, and Dr. Choi Hyunho provide 1:1 physician-direct diagnosis and intradermal layering within our Skin Regeneration & Skin Boosters center. Retigen can be administered standalone or combined with Rejuran Healer and Water Glow Injection to restore suppleness to photo-aged or fragile skin.
Ideal Candidates & Target Concerns
- Patients experiencing accelerated loss of dermal density, fine dry wrinkles, and rough skin micro-texture
- Individuals with thin, photo-aged, or chronically dehydrated skin barriers needing direct ECM structural support
- Those seeking faster tactile improvement in skin softness and elasticity compared to slow-acting polymers alone
- Patients looking to fortify dermal resilience before or after laser and RF lifting treatments
Clinical Specifications & Protocol Summary
| Parameter | Clinical Details |
|---|---|
| Modality / Formulation | Direct Biocompatible Dermal Collagen Supplementation |
| Target Layer / Area | Superficial to Mid-Dermis (Full Face, Cheeks, Periorbital & Neck Zones) |
| Typical Session Duration | 30–40 minutes (including topical anesthetic preparation) |
| Recommended Course | 3 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart |
| Expected Recovery Window | 1–3 days (temporary micro-papules, mild redness, or pinpoint marks) |
Step-by-Step Procedure Process
- 1:1 Physician Consultation: Assessment of dermal thinning, elasticity loss, and barrier sensitivity to tailor injection depth and dosage.
- Cleansing & Topical Anesthesia: Gentle medical cleansing and application of topical anesthetic cream.
- Intradermal Micro-Droplet Injection: Uniform delivery of purified collagen across target dermal zones performed directly by your physician.
- Soothing Barrier Care: Calming medical mask and moisture-lock finishing care to support rapid skin recovery.
Post-Treatment Care & Clinical Safety Notice
- Avoid saunas, hot baths, strenuous exercise, and alcohol for 3–5 days following the procedure.
- Allow small intradermal embossment bumps to absorb naturally without squeezing or rubbing the area.
- Apply gentle barrier repair creams and broad-spectrum UV protection daily.
Individual results vary depending on skin condition, tissue metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Potential temporary side effects include localized swelling, bruising, pinpoint erythema (redness), mild tenderness, embossment papules, or rare infection/inflammation, which generally subside within a few days.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How does Retigen differ from polymer boosters like Juvelook or Sculptra?
While PDLLA (Juvelook) and PLLA stimulate gradual collagen production over weeks, Retigen directly supplements biocompatible collagen into the extracellular matrix for earlier structural support and texture refinement.
Q. How many sessions are recommended for lasting dermal elasticity?
A foundational series of 3 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart is typically advised, followed by periodic maintenance every 3–6 months. Schedule a personalized evaluation via Contact Us.
