Korean Skin Rejuvenation Therapy, Younger Skin

Korean Skin Rejuvenation Therapy, Younger Skin

15 Min Read – This is a next-level bio-based skin treatment rooted in K-beauty science. First developed and approved for use in South Korea, Singapore now has one of the highest numbers of these procedures performed outside Korea.

At our clinic, we only use original, regulatory-approved products certified by relevant health authorities in Korea and Singapore.

How to get baby skin?

This injectable skin therapy, also referred to as “婴儿针” in Mandarin, is derived from purified polynucleotides (DNA fragments) extracted from salmon. It is commonly used to rejuvenate the skin and address multiple skin concerns.

This K-beauty inspired solution was extensively researched and developed in South Korea. If you have uneven skin tone (pigmentation, dull skin), signs of aging (wrinkles, sagging), acne (scarring, inflammation), open pores, rough texture, UV damage—or a combination of these—this treatment may be suitable for your needs.

“Commonly used to rejuvenate and/or treat multiple skin conditions.”

The wide range of skin concerns addressed by this treatment highlights its effectiveness in restoring and reinforcing the skin’s natural barrier and health. Each syringe delivers concentrated polynucleotides (PN) processed from salmon DNA.

These PN molecules support the skin’s regenerative functions by activating fibroblasts to repair damaged cells, stimulate collagen production, and rejuvenate the skin from within. Despite being derived from salmon DNA, PN is highly biocompatible and does not typically trigger inflammation or immune responses, making it suitable even for sensitive skin. Its overall function is to act as a multi-action catalyst for improving:

1. Pigmentation – Uneven Skin Tones, Melasma, Freckles

PN serves to even out hyperpigmentation and brightens uneven skin tone for people with dull or UV damaged skin by enhancing your skin’s cellular DNA repair functions even protecting and reversing UV or any environmental pollutant damage. It also aids in post-treatment recovery, smoothens, and lightens any skin blemishes.

• Improves skin texture and tone
• Also used to treat dark eye circles

2. Aging Signs – People in 20s – 40s & Beyond

As we age, our skin starts to produce less collagen and PN helps treat fine lines and wrinkles, hydrates skin making it more supple, restoring elasticity and firmness, even reversing aging signs. Skin is also denser and thickened to be more resilient towards premature signs of aging.

• Helps prevent and reverse signs of premature aging
• Enhances natural aging appearance
• Improves skin hydration

Botulinum toxin treatments address muscle-based aging signs but do not reverse the condition of the skin. This regenerative treatment can complement such options.

3. Acne Scars – Sensitive, Scarred & Delicate Thin Skin

This treatment helps reduce the appearance of sunken scars and enlarged pores—both of which are difficult to conceal with makeup. It also calms inflammation, a common issue in acne-prone skin.

• Helps balances oily skin for people with acne
• Redness and anti-inflammation
• Remodels overall skin ravaged by acne
• Removes acne scars

4 Types of Skin Rejuvenation Treatments

This treatment can be categorised based on viscosity and targeted purpose:

1. General Face Rejuvenation – For full-face treatments

2. Eye Area Rejuvenation – For fine lines, dark circles, and delicate under-eye areas; lowest viscosity

3. Acne Scar Treatment – For deep acne scars; highest viscosity

4. Hydro-Boost Formula – Combined with hyaluronic acid for hydration and repair; medium viscosity

What is Treatment Like?

Thanks to its high biocompatibility, this treatment is suitable for sensitive or thinned skin and can be combined with other modalities. Treatment begins with skin cleansing and application of a numbing cream.

A qualified doctor, trained in injectable techniques, performs a series of micro-injections into the dermis or epidermis. Injectables are required for full absorption of PN into the superficial skin layers. Over-the-counter serums or gels do not offer the same delivery efficacy.

“Due to its high biocompatibility, this therapy is suitable even for very sensitive or thinned skin.”

Post Treatment Results

You can expect a series of small raised bumps that look like micro mosquito bites at the site of each injection. These micro-raised bumps will subside within 24 hours and 48 hours around the eye area and fully resolves around 2-3 days. These bumps are a natural aesthetic result and as a patient, one should see these bumps as each injection is evenly done over the superficial layers of the skin, it requires a pair of steady hands that directly reflects on the aesthetic skill of the doctor.

• The procedure takes about 45mins
• Minimal downtime
• Desired results are best seen after 4 treatments
• Best for Pigmentation, Aging, and Acne
• Individual treatment results vary

1st Session after 3 – 5 days

• Supple and softer skin
• Less oily and dry skin

2nd Session after 2 – 4 weeks

• Skin looks more tone, elastic
• Eye areas start to have an improved appearance
• New skin is regenerated, replacing dead skin
• Reduced pores

3rd Session after 4 – 6 weeks

• Skin is firmer and tighter, less sagging that looks naturally lifted
• Skin is noticeably more thicker with volume from the dermis layer due to increased collagen production.

4th Session after 6 – 8 weeks

• Fully rejuvenated skin

We recommend taking your first 3 treatments at monthly intervals for the best results. For maintenance, you can choose to repeat treatments at 3 to 6 monthly intervals to maximise the treatment.

This treatment is generally well-tolerated and has not shown adverse side effects. It can be used alone or with other treatments. For enhanced hydration and skin elasticity, it pairs well with hydration-based injectables, skin boosters, or microneedling with radiofrequency.
