There are moments when you feel that your skin's elasticity has noticeably decreased, or your skin texture has suddenly become uneven. Even after receiving a laser, when the recovery speed is not the same as before or when acne marks remain longer than expected, you may feel that “your skin is not recovering as well as it used to.”
In this article, we have summarized what management direction people who feel that their skin's regenerative ability is low can consider, and in particular, when an approach that utilizes their own blood components without external substances can be considered. This does not guarantee a specific effect, so please consult with a medical staff member to find out which direction is right for your condition.
Who considers this
If the following applies to you, please check suitability through consultation.
- If you feel that the skin recovery speed after laser/energy treatment is slower than in the past
- When skin elasticity is reduced and the skin feels saggy
- If acne scars or dents remain for a long time
- When skin texture is uneven and pores appear large
- If you are looking for skin care other than hyaluronic acid filler or botox
- If pigmentation occurs repeatedly or does not improve well
- If you are interested in an approach that utilizes your own resources without injecting external ingredients.
Why skin changes
Why skin recovery slows down as we age
Changes in skin's ability to recover are not simply due to aging, but are also due to a combination of factors.
- decreased collagen production — After the mid-20s, the rate of collagen synthesis gradually decreases, and the quality of existing collagen also changes.
- Cell replacement cycle changes — As the skin cell replacement cycle becomes longer, the regeneration rate slows down.
- UV cumulative damage — Long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays can affect the structure of the dermal layer
- Changes in platelet function — Platelet count and function may vary depending on age, which also affects natural recovery ability.
- lifestyle habits — Lack of sleep, smoking, and nutritional imbalances have a direct impact on skin regeneration.
Regeneration approaches
Approach directions that can be considered for the purpose of dermal layer regeneration
Methods aimed at skin regeneration can be broadly divided into methods that utilize energy, and methods that supply ingredients or stimulate the individual's own regenerative ability.
There are cases where complementary effects can be expected when the two directions are used together. To decide which method is right for you, you need to comprehensively consider your skin condition, purpose, age, lifestyle patterns, etc., so it is important to decide on a direction through treatment.
Natural approach
For those who want to utilize their own resources without external ingredients
Rather than injecting external ingredients like filler or Botox, the approach of using ingredients isolated from one's own blood back into the skin is a different option in that it "utilizes my body's resources."
Rather than directly modifying the skin, this method Activating the skin's own recovery abilityBecause it is intended for this purpose, it is chosen by many people who expect natural changes instead of the time it takes for results to appear.
- If you want an overall improvement in skin texture and elasticity rather than a clear change in volume
- If you want to consistently manage your skin’s natural condition rather than just one treatment
- If you are looking for complementary care to aid recovery after another procedure
- If you are sensitive to external ingredients and prefer self-derived ingredients
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
- From what age can I be considered?
- It is determined by skin condition and purpose rather than specific age criteria. When you begin to notice loss of elasticity or changes in skin texture, it is recommended to check suitability through consultation with a specialist.
- How long does it take for the effects to appear?
- Collagen production is a gradual process, and changes typically occur over several weeks to months following the procedure. As there are individual differences, please check the expected range in advance with your medical staff.
- Can it be combined with other procedures?
- In some cases, it is combined with other skin care such as high frequency or laser. The specialist determines whether or not to perform the treatments in parallel and in what order depending on the characteristics of each procedure and the current skin condition.
- How is the number of treatments determined?
- In some cases, it is conducted once, and in other cases, it is conducted multiple times at regular intervals. It is common to make a decision together with your medical staff based on your skin condition, purpose, and reaction after the procedure.
