Hello.
I am Dr. Kim Dong-young, Director of Cleor Clinic Hongdae Branch.
Have you ever received fillers because your cheeks looked hollow and your nasolabial folds seemed deep, only to feel that the volume decreases and the elasticity disappears as time goes by?
"I feel burdened by having to repeatedly get fillers because they fill the area temporarily and then subside again.
I wish there was a procedure that naturally fills from within."
The dermis, the inner layer of the skin, is a structure where extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid are intertwined.
When this structure collapses over time, it is not just that collagen decreases,
but an environment is created where the inner support of the skin itself sinks, causing both volume and elasticity to disappear.
The Hongdae Collagen Booster approach involves inserting new materials inside or placing existing materials directly
to induce the inner structure to reorganize itself over time.
Today, I will summarize what the Hongdae Collagen Booster is,
and how the three-product lineup of Juvelook Volume, Olidia, and Adite differ.
What is Hongdae Collagen Booster?
👉 Hongdae Collagen Booster is a next-generation booster procedure that injects biodegradable polymers like PDLLA/PLLA or ECM (extracellular matrix) components into the dermis to induce autologous collagen production or directly replenish the ECM structure itself.
Collagen boosters are in a completely different category from general HA fillers in terms of their mechanism of action.
While fillers fill volume immediately,
collagen boosters work by stimulating or replenishing the inner environment of the dermis
to induce autologous collagen to fill in over time.
At the Hongdae branch, we operate three types with different mechanisms of action,
allowing you to choose according to your skin condition and desired direction of change.
Technical Features of Hongdae Collagen Booster
👉 Hongdae Collagen Booster is a procedure with four key features: inducing autologous collagen production, direct ECM replenishment, gradual and natural changes, and a mechanism of action distinct from fillers.
Inducing Autologous Collagen Production (3rd Generation PDLLA/PLLA)
With Juvelook Volume and Olidia, when biodegradable polymer particles are injected into the dermis,
fibroblasts gather around the particles and begin to activate.
In this process, autologous collagen and elastin are gradually produced,
and changes where the inner area fills up take hold over time.
Direct ECM Replenishment (5th Generation ECM Booster)
Adite is based on human-derived acellular dermal matrix (hADM),
a method of directly replenishing key ECM components into the skin.
Since it contains ECM components such as collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid,
it is classified as a new approach different from the autologous production induction method.
Gradual and Natural Changes
All three lines are procedures where changes take hold gradually over 4 to 12 weeks,
rather than providing immediate volume changes.
It is reported as a natural change with little "obvious sign of having had a procedure."
Mechanism of Action Distinct from Fillers
While fillers decompose over time and need to be refilled,
collagen boosters, through autologous collagen or ECM structure recovery,
include lines with reported maintenance periods of around 2 years.
Effects and Advantages of Hongdae Collagen Booster
👉 The key advantages of Hongdae Collagen Booster can be summarized into three points: autologous regeneration-based natural changes, long maintenance periods, and the ability to choose from lines with different mechanisms of action.
First, it brings about natural changes based on autologous regeneration.
Because it is a procedure that acts on the inner environment itself rather than filling from the outside,
it is known for allowing non-artificial changes to take hold over time.
Next, the maintenance period is relatively long.
Since both Juvelook Volume and Olidia are lines reported to last around 24 months,
the trend is to have longer intervals between procedures than with fillers.
Finally, you can choose from lines with different mechanisms of action.
With the 3rd generation line (Juvelook Volume, Olidia) that induces autologous collagen production
and the 5th generation line (Adite) that directly replenishes ECM components,
it is a structure where you can choose a different approach according to your skin condition.
Hongdae Collagen Booster Lineup
👉 At the Hongdae branch, we operate both 3rd generation PDLLA/PLLA lines and 5th generation ECM lines,
allowing you to choose from 3 types with different mechanisms of action according to your skin condition.
Because the three lines differ in their mechanism of action, timing of effect manifestation, and maintenance period,
choosing according to your skin condition and purpose of change affects satisfaction.
We will examine the line composition tailored to your skin condition during the pre-procedure consultation.
Hongdae Collagen Booster is recommended for those who:
Are burdened by volume changes that subside again even after filling with fillers
Are concerned about both loss of volume and elasticity
Want gradual and natural changes from within
Want to compare and choose from lines with different mechanisms of action
Prefer a relatively long maintenance period
Side Effects and Things to Know in Advance about Hongdae Collagen Booster
👉 Hongdae Collagen Booster is a procedure where autologous collagen production or ECM recovery takes hold through cumulative sessions rather than being finished in one go.
Light swelling, bruising, minute nodular sensations, or stinging at the injection site
may accompany the procedure for a few days.
Most are reported to subside naturally within a few days.
Since the PDLLA/PLLA line is a procedure where particles settle in the dermis to work,
rare cases of nodules (lumps) are reported.
Since massaging sufficiently after the procedure is recommended to reduce the possibility of nodules,
we provide guidance on massage methods during the pre-procedure consultation.
Rather than expecting immediate volume changes,
understanding in advance that it is a procedure that takes hold gradually over 4 to 12 weeks
will help with satisfaction.
Please inform us in advance as the procedure may be restricted in the following cases:
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
If there is active inflammation, herpes, or infection at the procedure site
If you have autoimmune diseases, keloid tendencies, or a tendency to scar easily
If you are regularly taking medications that increase bleeding tendencies
If you have a history of allergies to the procedure ingredients
⚠️ Precautions Before and After Hongdae Collagen Booster Procedure
👉 For Hongdae Collagen Booster, management at each stage before and after the procedure affects recovery and the feeling of results.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. How should I choose between the 3 types of Hongdae Collagen Booster?
If you want to achieve both volume recovery and autologous collagen production, Juvelook Volume is recommended,
if you want gradual collagen production with uniform particles, Olidia is recommended,
and if you want to even recover the inner structure by directly replenishing the ECM structure itself, Adite is recommended.
We will organize the line that fits your skin condition together during the pre-procedure consultation.
Q. How is Hongdae Collagen Booster different from fillers?
While fillers create volume by immediately filling with hyaluronic acid,
collagen boosters are procedures that induce autologous collagen production or directly replenish the ECM structure
from within the dermis, allowing changes to take hold naturally over time.
The maintenance period is also reported to be relatively longer than fillers, at around 24 months.
Q. When do the effects of Hongdae Collagen Booster appear?
For Juvelook Volume and Olidia, changes begin from 4 to 6 weeks
and tend to take hold over 8 to 12 weeks.
Since Adite is a method of directly replenishing ECM components, soft changes accompany it from the early stages,
and it is reported that inner structure recovery accumulates over time.
Q. How many sessions of Hongdae Collagen Booster should I receive?
Although it depends on skin condition and the line, generally,
changes tend to stabilize when performed cumulatively 2 to 3 times.
We will organize the number of sessions suitable for your skin condition during the pre-procedure consultation.
Q. Can nodules (lumps) occur with Hongdae Collagen Booster?
Since the PDLLA/PLLA line is a procedure where particles settle in the dermis to work,
rare cases of nodules are reported.
Consistently massaging after the procedure helps reduce the possibility of nodules,
and the ECM-based Adite has a different mechanism of action, so the nodule pattern is also different from other lines.
Q. How much pain is involved with Hongdae Collagen Booster?
Applying anesthetic cream before the procedure is standard,
and stinging irritation may accompany the injection.
Most report it as a tolerable level.
Q. Can I wear makeup immediately after receiving Hongdae Collagen Booster?
Since minute injection marks and irritation remain on the day of the procedure,
light makeup is fine, but full makeup is recommended from the next day.
Skin aging is not just a decrease in collagen,
but a change where the ECM structure itself, where collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid are intertwined, collapses.
Because there is a limitation in recovering the inner structure by filling only one component from the outside,
this is why the direction of inducing autologous collagen production or directly replenishing ECM components has taken hold.
Hongdae Collagen Booster operates 3 types of lines with different mechanisms of action.
From the 3rd generation PDLLA line Juvelook Volume,
3rd generation PLLA line Olidia,
to the 5th generation ECM booster Adite, it is operated in a structure where you can choose
according to your skin condition and direction of change.
We will personally check the line composition suitable for your skin condition
during the consultation.
