What skin boosters are
Skin boosters are injectable treatments that focus on skin quality rather than shape. Instead of lifting or adding volume, they place small amounts of product into the skin to support hydration, texture, elasticity or the look of fine lines. They are a core part of the Korean approach to skin care in clinics, and many international visitors to Busan add one to their trip.
The term covers several different products. Some are based on hyaluronic acid, some on polynucleotides (PN) and others on different ingredients. Understanding the differences helps you ask better questions when choosing where to go. Our skin boosters page
gives an overview.
What to look for when choosing a clinic
Busan has many clinics offering skin boosters. When comparing options as a visitor, these practical points tend to matter most:
- A doctor-led assessment.
The product choice and amount should be decided by a physician who has examined your skin.
- Clear prices in KRW.
Check whether VAT is included, what volume (in cc) is quoted and whether a price applies to first visits only.
- Genuine, sealed products.
It is reasonable to ask to see the product opened in front of you.
- Language support.
Being able to explain your medical history and goals clearly is important.
- Location and hours.
A clinic near transport makes it easier to fit treatment into a trip.
- Aftercare contact.
Know how to reach the clinic if you have questions after treatment.
Skin booster options at Daybeau Clinic Seomyeon
Daybeau Clinic Seomyeon lists three skin boosters with fixed first-visit prices:
- Water Glow, 2cc.
39,000 KRW. A hydration-focused booster, often chosen for dry or dull-looking skin.

for more detail.
- Rejuran, 2cc.

These prices are in Korean won, VAT excluded (10% VAT is added at payment), and are first-visit prices checked October 2026. First-visit prices apply once per new patient per item. Collagen-stimulating injectables such as Juvelook and Sculptra are quoted after an in-person consultation, because the amount of product varies. The full list is on our price list.
Some visitors ask about other products, such as Skinvive or specific Rejuran variants. You can ask at consultation which options are available.
How the products differ
Each booster works in a slightly different way, which is why the doctor's choice depends on your skin:
- Hydration boosters.
Generally focus on adding moisture to the skin, aiming for a smoother, more radiant look.
- Polynucleotide boosters.
Such as Rejuran, aim to support the skin's repair environment and are often discussed for texture and fine lines.
- Collagen-stimulating injectables.
Such as Juvelook or Sculptra, aim to encourage collagen over time and may take longer to show changes.
Evidence for some of these products is still developing, and results vary. The doctor will explain what is realistic for your skin.
Downtime and aftercare for visitors
Most skin boosters involve small injection points, so the common effects are generally short-lived:
- Small bumps.
Especially with Rejuran, usually settling within about a day.
- Redness.
Often fading within hours.
- Bruising.
Possible, and may take several days to fade.
- Mild swelling.
Usually resolves quickly.
Doctors often suggest avoiding makeup on the day, as well as saunas, alcohol and strenuous exercise for a short period. Use sun protection. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have allergies or skin infections, consult a doctor before treatment. If you notice unusual pain, colour changes or worsening swelling, contact a doctor promptly.

Frequently asked questions
Which skin booster is right for me?
It depends on whether your main concern is dryness, texture, fine lines or overall skin quality. A doctor will recommend an option after examining your skin.
