LAETIGEN

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is LAETIGEN an injection that stimulates collagen production, or one that adds collagen directly?

  LAETIGEN works by directly replenishing Type I atelocollagen. Its ingredient and mechanism of action differ from products that stimulate collagen production, such as Sculptra or Juvelook.

• Which areas is LAETIGEN mainly used on?

  At LOERE, it is used to address fine lines around the eyes and mouth and the elasticity of thinned skin. The choice is made by distinguishing whether the goal is to add significant volume or to address thin skin and fine lines.

• I'm deciding between Rejuran and LAETIGEN. Which should I choose?

  Rejuran stimulates skin regeneration with PN to address rough skin texture and thinned skin around the eyes, while LAETIGEN directly replenishes collagen to address fine lines around the eyes and mouth. The decision is based on your skin condition and the concern that bothers you most, and because the two products have different ingredients, we also check for allergies.

• Is one session enough?

  Repeated treatment is recommended. For most skin boosters, we advise several sessions at 4-week intervals. The number of sessions is decided based on your skin condition and progress, and the degree of change may vary from person to person.

• Are there cases in which I cannot have the treatment?

  Treatment cannot be performed if you are allergic to collagen. Treatment is restricted if you are allergic to any of the ingredients, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have inflammation or infection in the treatment area.

• Will I have swelling or bruising after treatment?

  Bruising, swelling, and stiffness may occur, and in most cases these improve within 1–2 weeks. Other side effects may rarely occur; we explain them in detail during your consultation before treatment.
