What Is Re2O? A Skin Booster Designed to Restore the Skin Environment | Hongdae Re2O
What do people with healthy-looking skin have in common?
It is not because they have an exceptionally fair skin tone or wear special makeup. Even when viewed up close, their skin texture is smooth and their skin has a healthy appearance that seems to glow subtly from within.
That is why the concerns of people visiting dermatology clinics have also been changing recently.
"I just want to get rid of wrinkles."
"I just want to add volume."
Rather than these,
"I want my skin itself to look healthy."
has become a much more common concern during consultations.
Along with this change, RE2o has been gaining attention.
Going beyond simply supplying moisture to the skin, it is gaining attention as a next-generation ECM skin booster that takes into account the environment that forms the skin's structure.
Today, we will take a detailed look at how RE2o approaches the skin, which skin concerns it is suitable for, and how it differs from other skin boosters!
What Kind of Skin Booster Is RE2o?
RE2o is a 5th-generation skin booster that uses purified human acellular dermal matrix (hADM) ingredients and is injected directly into the dermal layer of the skin.
ECM is a structure that surrounds skin cells and consists of various components that make up skin tissue, including collagen, elastin, laminin, and growth factors.
Simply put, it can be understood as the 'foundation of the skin' that supports cells so they can function healthily.
Hongdae RE2o is a skin booster that focuses on helping improve the skin environment based on these ECM components.
In other words, rather than simply moisturizing the surface of the skin, its key feature is an approach that considers the environment necessary for maintaining the skin's natural condition.
Why Is ECM Important?
Healthy skin is not simply about having a lot of collagen.
Just as it is difficult to build a strong building with even the best bricks if there is no cement or reinforcement, the skin also needs various components to remain balanced in order to maintain a healthy condition.
ECM supports this skin structure and helps skin tissue remain stable.
As we age or are affected by UV exposure, repeated inflammation, lifestyle habits, and other factors, changes can also occur in this environment.
That is why interest in RE2o, which also takes the environment within the skin into consideration, has been increasing recently.
What Skin Concerns Can RE2o Help With?
- Rough skin texture
- Severe inner dryness and tightness after cleansing
- Skin elasticity that is not what it used to be
- Fine lines that are starting to become noticeable
- Makeup that does not apply well
- Those who want to naturally improve their overall skin condition
Of course, it is not applied in the same way to every skin type, and the appropriate skin booster may vary depending on the skin condition and concerns.
How Is Hongdae RE2o Different From Other Skin Boosters?
Each skin booster takes a different approach.
PN-based skin boosters aim to improve the skin environment, while hyaluronic acid-based products focus on hydration and moisture.
Hongdae RE2o is characterized by its consideration of various elements that make up the skin structure based on human dermis-derived ECM (hADM).
What is important is not to say that one skin booster is superior to another, but to determine which approach is needed for the current skin condition.
That is why Ohvelyjoo Clinic recommends an appropriate skin booster after comprehensively assessing skin thickness, hydration, elasticity, lifestyle habits, and other factors.
How Should You Care for Your Skin After RE2o Treatment?
Immediately after the treatment, it is recommended to avoid alcohol, saunas, and strenuous exercise for a certain period, and maintaining sufficient moisturization and sun protection can help prevent the skin from becoming dry.
In addition, the recommended treatment interval may vary depending on the skin condition, so it is best to make a treatment plan after consulting with medical professionals.
