What is PCL Skin Booster?

PCL Skin Booster is composed of PCL (Polycaprolactone) in a fully solubilized liquid form, with no particles.

When PCL enters the dermis, it smoothly diffuses throughout the skin, continuously stimulating fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, leading to improvements in fine wrinkles, skin texture refinement, restoration of overall skin density and elasticity, and anti-aging effects.

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's Skin Booster Layering Program is a treatment designed with safety in mind, significantly reducing risks such as bruising, swelling, incorrect injection, and hypersensitivity reactions.

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's Absorption Method: Layering Technique

To ensure that the high-molecular active ingredients of PCL Skin Booster are smoothly delivered to the dermis, Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic utilizes MTS (Microneedle Therapy System) and Needle RF (Secret RF/Potenza) for its skin booster layering absorption technique.

PCL Skin Booster has the characteristic of a pure liquid formulation without solid particles, offering excellent spreadability when entering the skin's dermis. Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic performs treatments with a customized layering technique to minimize drug loss and ensure uniform delivery throughout the dermis.

MTS Layering Technique

MTS creates channels approximately 150μm in size in the skin, forming pathways for drug absorption. Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic layers MTS in 4 stages to maximize absorption.

Epidermal Priming Application

Epidermal Target Application after Shallow Needling

Dermal-Epidermal Junction Target Application

Customized Target Application for Focus Areas (fine wrinkles, eye area, reduced elasticity, etc.)

The procedure is then concluded with soothing care, such as a Jaun-go modeling pack, ensuring no inflammatory reactions.

Potenza RF Needle Radiofrequency Layering Technique

After forming channels of approximately 180μm, radiofrequency heat is used to constrict these pathways, preventing the reflux of bodily fluids (overflow) that can occur with traditional needle injections. This ensures more accurate absorption of PCL into the dermis with less drug loss.

Compared to manual injections, it prevents drug loss while ensuring uniform delivery to the target dermal layer. It offers the advantages of less pain and consistent absorption. Similar to MTS, needle depth can be customized, allowing for a 4-stage layering technique.

At Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic, MTS and Potenza RF are appropriately combined and performed according to the patient's skin condition.

Why does Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic perform treatments in this manner?

The PCL component has characteristics of a high-molecular liquid formulation.

If administered by manual injection, incorrect depth control or clumping on the skin's surface can lead to temporary bumps or irritation. If injected too deeply into the subcutaneous fat layer, the desired dermal regeneration effect may not be fully achieved.

To minimize the potential side effects such as bruising, swelling, pain, and incorrect injection that can occur during injectable treatments, Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic performs procedures in a way that maximizes safety and efficacy for its clients.

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic designs its procedures, from channel creation to absorption methods, using layering techniques and customized treatments based on skin condition, ensuring accurate absorption of PCL's active ingredients into the dermis.

We determined that performing treatments that maximize efficacy while minimizing risks is the correct approach.

Key Actions of PCL Skin Booster:

Induction of autologous collagen and elastin regeneration (Dermal structure rebuilding)

Minimizing nodule risk with a particle-free, fully liquid structure

When PCL is delivered into the dermis, it stimulates fibroblasts to promote the production of collagen and elastin fibers.

Collagen is a crucial component that determines skin thickness and density, while elastin determines elasticity. Therefore, the simultaneous increase of both fibers helps restore thinning dermal thickness and fundamentally improve fine lines and loss of elasticity.

Furthermore, PCL polymers continuously stimulate the body to produce autologous collagen, and after a certain period, they completely break down into water and carbon dioxide and are safely expelled from the body.

What is the difference with Juvelook?

Many people are curious about the difference between Juvelook (PDLLA), a representative collagen skin booster, and PCL skin boosters. The two treatments have clear differences in the formulation characteristics of their active ingredients and their main target effects.

Differences in Formulation and Mechanism of Action

Juvelook involves hydrating and injecting fine porous particles into water, which intensively stimulates the surrounding tissue to promote new tissue regeneration. In contrast, PCL skin boosters are a completely solubilized liquid formulation with no particles. The biggest difference is that when injected into the skin, it smoothly diffuses throughout the surrounding tissue without clumping, forming a 3D matrix.

Differences in Main Improvement Goals

Juvelook excels in improving sunken acne scars, enlarged pores, and localized volume and texture in specific areas. PCL skin boosters, on the other hand, are more specialized in improving fine lines across the entire face, restoring thinning dermal thickness, and rebooting overall facial skin density and elasticity for a firmer feel.

Stability and Formulation Characteristics

PCL skin boosters have the advantage of minimizing the risk of nodule (particle clumping) side effects, which are a concern during injection procedures, because no solid particles exist.

Recommended for

Those concerned about sagging skin elasticity and fine lines across the entire face

Those whose skin has thinned, lacking density and firmness

Those concerned about nodule (clumping) side effects, bruising, or swelling from injectables

Those with rough skin texture who desire a subtle yet smooth skin reboot

Those looking for a safe autologous collagen regeneration treatment with minimal pain

Those who desire natural skin tightening effects

What is the clinical evidence for PCL?

Numerous studies have demonstrated the dermal regeneration and collagen-inducing effects of PCL.

Sustained Collagen Bioreaction of PCL Polymer: PCL has been shown to stimulate fibroblasts in the dermal layer of the body, promoting the neogenesis of Type I and Type III collagen and elastin.

Stability and Diffusibility of Solubilized PCL: Liquid PCL, unlike particulate forms, diffuses uniformly into surrounding tissues when injected into the dermis, improving dermal density without clumping.

Efficiency of MTS/RF-based Delivery System: Drug delivery via micro-channels reduces epidermal irritation and bleeding compared to manual injection, while safely diffusing the drug throughout the dermal layer.

A Message from the Chief Doctor

"As we age, our skin thins and fine lines increase due to a decrease in collagen and density in the dermal layer. Many people are concerned about the superficial feeling of elasticity every time they look in the mirror.

We recommend PCL skin boosters for such individuals.

This is because it's a treatment with a pure liquid structure without particles, reducing the risk of clumping, and it spreads smoothly throughout the dermis, restoring firm strength from within the skin.

For those who have been hesitant due to pain or injection marks, or those looking for a safe procedure with reduced concerns about nodule side effects, we highly recommend experiencing PCL skin boosters with KKEUT Korean Medicine Clinic's Layering Technique."

Q&A

Q. What is the recommended treatment cycle?

A. We usually recommend 2 to 3 treatments at 4-week intervals, followed by maintenance care tailored to your individual skin condition.

Q. What is a PCL Skin Booster?

A. PCL Skin Booster is a self-tissue regenerating collagen booster made from high-molecular PCL (Polycaprolactone). It is a completely liquid form without particles, safely breaking down in the body without leaving any residue. It spreads widely throughout the dermis, inducing long-term collagen production and enhancing skin density and elasticity.

Q. Are there any treatments that can be combined?

A. The effects are amplified when combined with Potenza RF. Potenza inserts micro-needles into the dermal layer to deliver high-frequency thermal energy, promoting new collagen production. Especially when using Kkeut Clinic's layering technique, drug loss is reduced, and it is effectively delivered to the dermal layer without pain.

Q. When do the effects appear?

A. You will notice improved skin texture and a soft, hydrated feeling starting 2 to 3 weeks after the treatment. Skin density and elasticity will visibly improve even more after 1 to 2 months, as PCL diffuses within the dermis and actively remodels collagen.

AFTERCARE GUIDE (Precautions)

Temporary redness, slight swelling, and bumps may occur at the treatment site, which usually resolve naturally within 1 to 3 days.

For one week after the treatment, please avoid alcohol, smoking, saunas, swimming pools, and strenuous exercise.

Do not excessively rub or irritate the treated area.

Scrub products can cause skin irritation, so please refrain from using them for one week.
