[Doctor's Column] Collagen-Building Injections vs. Collagen-Injecting Injections: What's the Difference? (ft. Lituo)

1. Skin Boosters, Are You Just Following Trends? > One of the most frequently asked questions by dermatologists is, "What's the hottest thing these days?" While trends are popular for a reason, there are specific treatments that are tailored to your skin type and needs. With countless skin boosters like Rejuran, Juvelook, and Exosome now available, we'd like to explain from a medical perspective why Elravie Lituo, with its reduced pain and intuitive effects, is gaining traction. 2. Collagen "Making Signals" vs. Collagen "Itself" > The biggest difference is how they work. Rejuran (PN) and Juvelook (PDLLA) stimulate our body's cells, signaling, "Make collagen!" In other words, they make our skin do the work itself. On the other hand, Lituo directly injects collagen and elastin, the core components of skin. To use a cooking analogy, if the former provides "flour and kneading tools," Lituo is like delivering well-baked "finished bread" right to the table. 3. Ingredients that most closely resemble my skin, so no more worries about immune reactions! > Another key aspect of Lituo is safety. Cells that could trigger an immune response in human skin tissue are removed, leaving only the pure dermal framework (ECM) in a fine powder. Because it's a homologous ingredient that closely resembles human skin, rather than an animal or synthetic substance, it significantly reduces the risk of hypersensitivity or allergic reactions caused by foreign substances. Because it's the same ingredient as my own skin, my skin accepts it comfortably without any resistance. 4. Smooth, bruising-free results with a "cannula" instead of a painful needle > Even the best medications are easily avoided if the injection process is painful. Lituo's medication itself is less painful, but satisfaction varies greatly depending on the treatment method. While traditionally, patients would prick their entire face with a sharp needle dozens of times, our clinic utilizes a "cannula" with a rounded tip. Using a cannula minimizes tissue damage and blood vessel rupture, resulting in minimal bruising and swelling, allowing patients to return to their daily lives immediately after the procedure. 5. The difference in "density" that wells up from within > When Lituo penetrates the skin, it densely fills the collapsed dermis. It doesn't simply replenish moisture like a water glow injection; it also builds the "pillars" that support the skin. After the treatment, you'll notice that your skin, which was once flabby, has become much firmer and more supple. Satisfaction is particularly high when the treatment is performed on areas prone to fine wrinkles, such as the eyes, mouth, nasolabial folds, and neck. 6. A solution for those who can't stand waiting > While collagen inducers (such as Juvelook) require time for the body to react, their effects are gradual. Lituo delivers the active ingredients directly, so its effects are relatively fast. This is why Lituo is highly recommended for those with important events like weddings or photo shoots coming up, or for those who are impatient and want to instantly restore their skin condition.
