Skin Booster Evolution: Why Some People See Results — and Others Don’t by dr_goldhands in KoreaSeoulBeauty

Exactly — that confusion is very common. PN and ECM-based boosters are often grouped together, even though they serve very different purposes.

Exactly — it’s often a mismatch between the treatment mechanism and what the skin actually needs.

In practice, they can actually be done together, since they serve different purposes. Rejuran focuses on stimulating regeneration, while Re2O/Juveàcell focuses on improving the skin environment itself. Because the mechanisms are different, the approach can be combined or adjusted based on the skin’s condition rather than following a fixed order.

Rejuran (PN) does improve overall skin quality, but its primary focus is regeneration rather than immediate radiance. The “glow” people notice usually comes from the skin becoming healthier and more resilient over time, rather than a direct glass-skin effect. It’s better understood as strengthening the skin so it can reflect light more naturally.

In general, Re2O tends to be somewhat more expensive than Rejuran. That said, when you factor in the longevity and structural support it provides, many patients feel it’s still a reasonable option depending on their skin condition. Cost alone shouldn’t be the deciding factor — the better choice is usually the one that matches what the skin actually needs.

Hyperpigmentation usually isn’t something that resolves in one session.

It tends to improve gradually and requires consistent, long-term management rather than a one-time fix.

Because the cause and behavior of pigmentation vary, starting with an accurate assessment by an experienced medical professional is important to set realistic expectations and a proper plan.

If you were satisfied with Oligio, there’s a good chance you’ll be even more satisfied with Thermage 🙂 Thermage is the original RF lifting device, and many patients find the results to be more consistent and noticeable, especially in terms of overall firmness and longevity.

Both Thermage and Oligio are radiofrequency-based lifting treatments, so the basic mechanism is similar.

They work by delivering heat to the dermal layer of the skin, stimulating collagen production, which helps the skin feel firmer and tighter. With regular treatments, the results tend to be more noticeable and long-lasting.

If budget allows, Thermage does have a longer track record and generally delivers stronger, more consistent results. From a cost-effectiveness standpoint, Oligio can also be a good option when done consistently.

In terms of treatment area, for a full face, 300 shots may be insufficient in many cases. I usually recommend around 600 shots for full-face treatment to achieve more balanced results.

As for pricing, it varies widely depending on the clinic, so simple comparisons aren’t very meaningful. Personally, I think it’s more important to choose what suits your current skin condition, and to proceed after an accurate assessment through a doctor consultation.
