Is it okay to get a collagen booster when my skin barrier is compromised?
Perhaps due to the recent weather, my skin has become noticeably drier and rough, and I feel like my skin barrier has significantly deteriorated. No matter how generously I apply nourishing cream, it just sits on the surface, so I started considering a collagen booster treatment to improve the skin's internal environment. People around me have recommended it for its effectiveness in skin regeneration and restoring elasticity, so I am planning to get the treatment this month. However, as I work full-time, I am concerned about how long the downtime—such as injection marks, bruising, and swelling—will last, and whether I will be able to apply makeup and go to work the very next day. I am wondering if it is safe for someone with sensitive and thin skin like mine to get a collagen booster. Please also let me know how long the effects last and if there are any special precautions I should take.
