What is RE2O? Reasons Why Skin Boosters Similar to Skin Are Gaining Attention | Derna Clinic
2026-08-11
RE2O is a 5th generation skin booster that fills hADM with collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
Within a week after the procedure, you will notice radiance and pore tightening, and after a month, skin cells become activated, leading to long-term improvement in skin condition.
A meticulous hydration process and cannula technique can reduce pain burden.
Hello, this is Derna Clinic.
Recently, skin boosters have been mentioned as frequently as lifting procedures. This is largely due to the desire for a radiant glow that shines even right after cleansing, rather than just covering it up with makeup. However, procedures like Rejuran can be quite painful or leave embossing on the face for several days, which can be a burden for those of us living busy lives. For those with such concerns, Gangnam RE2O is being highlighted as a new trend in treatments.
RE2O is a skin booster that utilizes ingredients developed based on a structure similar to skin components, injecting the most similar substances to your skin rather than just filling it with moisture, thereby solidifying the 'foundation of the skin.'
Today, we will explore why RE2O is gaining attention and what differentiates it from existing glow injections or other skin boosters.
What is RE2O Skin Booster? : Closely Packed with Skin-Similar Ingredients
The skin boosters we commonly encounter contain salmon DNA or collagen-promoting ingredients. While these are good ingredients, RE2O skin booster can be considered one step further in treatments. This is because it uses homologous dermal components that are extracted from essential skin components.
Collagen that supports our skin tightly, elastin that maintains firmness, and hyaluronic acid that fills moisture are all injected as core elements that make up the skin, creating an environment where your skin can naturally accept them without any foreign feeling.
Rather than forcing the skin to stimulate and create something, it directly supplements the necessary components for the skin, allowing for more noticeable changes in skin condition.
Changes Frequently Mentioned in RE2O Reviews
Looking at RE2O reviews, the most frequently mentioned change is that "the skin texture has become as smooth as if a filter was applied".
💛After the Procedure ~ 1 Week: Radiance
RE2O contains a lot of completed moisturizing and elasticity ingredients. About three days after the procedure, you may feel that your skin barrier is strengthening, and about a week later, you can feel the effects of RE2O, such as pore tightening and fine lines becoming less noticeable.
💛After a Month: Long-term Condition Maintenance
The injected ingredients gradually absorb and activate the cells within our skin. This is because it creates an environment where the skin can maintain a healthy state on its own. Rather than a temporary shine, RE2O's characteristic is that the skin itself gains strength, becomes clearer, and regains natural vitality.
(The effects of the procedure may vary depending on individual skin conditions.)
Reasons to Choose RE2O: Less Pain Burden and Meticulous Hydration Process
Even if the effects are good, if the procedure is extremely painful, one might hesitate to undergo it again. RE2O is designed to match the pH concentration of the skin, so the stimulation felt during injection is relatively less.
A more important point is the 'hydration process'. RE2O is in a freeze-dried powder form to maintain the freshness of the ingredients, and how precisely it is mixed with liquid just before the procedure is key. RE2O, which is uniformly mixed without clumping, helps to spread widely and evenly within the skin, enhancing the absorption rate.
Additionally, using injection methods like cannulas after a meticulous hydration process can reduce the burden of pain.

Reasons Why RE2O is Good to Combine with Ultherapy and Shurink
RE2O has high satisfaction on its own, but when combined with HIFU lifting procedures like Ultherapy or Shurink, even better synergy can be expected. The lifting laser helps to tighten sagging lines, while RE2O fills the gaps within the skin.
Performing RE2O about a week after lifting procedures like Ultherapy or Shurink, when the skin tissue is recovering, can help supply nutrients and dermal components to the stimulated skin layer, aiding recovery and prolonging the lifting effect.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the average price for RE2O per session or per volume (cc)?
RE2O is typically performed using a 5cc ampoule entirely according to the treatment area. Due to the nature of the ingredients, it is known to be relatively high in cost compared to other skin boosters. Derna Clinic is currently running a RE2O benefit event, so if you are curious about the price of RE2O, please refer to the link below.
※The event may change or end without notice. If you cannot find the information you are looking for, we will provide detailed guidance upon inquiry.
Q. It is referred to as a 5th generation ECM booster, what does that mean exactly?
The key ingredient of RE2O, hADM (human Acellular Dermal Matrix), is a material from donated human skin tissue that has had cellular components that can trigger immune rejection removed, leaving only the ECM (extracellular matrix) structures such as collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. It has been used for a long time in burn treatment and breast reconstruction, so there is a fair amount of safety data available. Unlike existing methods that induce collagen production, it is classified as '5th generation' because it directly supplements the already completed dermal structure components.
Q. I have been receiving Rejuran or Juvederm, what noticeable differences can I expect when switching to RE2O?
Rejuran (PN) or Juvederm (PDLLA) stimulate the skin to produce collagen on its own, so the effects appear gradually, while RE2O directly fills in the already formed ECM components, leading to relatively quicker noticeable changes. However, this is more a difference in action direction rather than superiority, so it is recommended to confirm which method suits your skin condition through diagnosis.
Q. I gave up on Rejuran due to pain, is RE2O really less painful? Is it injected without needles?
It is not injected without needles; it is a procedure that injects into the dermis using a regular syringe or cannula. However, the drug itself is designed to be similar to the body's pH, so the stimulation felt during injection is relatively less, and using a cannula method can further reduce the pain burden. Pain perception varies from person to person, so if you are sensitive, it is advisable to check in advance during the consultation.
Q. Does RE2O work for dry skin that causes makeup to flake and enlarged pores in the butterfly zone, regardless of gender?
RE2O directly reinforces the structural components of the thinned dermis, so it can help in cases where the skin density has decreased, leading to enlarged pores or flaking makeup due to dryness. It can be considered as an option for anyone whose skin structure has weakened, regardless of gender.
Q. How long do embossing, bruising, or swelling last after the procedure, and can I return to daily life immediately?
Temporary embossing (raised marks), mild bruising, or swelling may occur at the treatment site, but they usually subside within a few days. It is advisable to avoid excessive cleansing or strong stimulation on the day of the procedure, but daily life can generally continue without issues.
Q. If I want to receive lifting lasers (Thermage/Ultherapy) or treatments like Potenza or LDM together, how should I schedule them?
After lifting procedures like Ultherapy or Shurink, performing RE2O about a week later, when the skin tissue has recovered to some extent, can help supply dermal components to the stimulated skin layer, aiding recovery and prolonging the lifting effect. If you are combining with other treatments like Potenza or LDM, you should determine the order considering the recovery periods of each procedure with your medical team.
Q. Will one session of RE2O be enough to maintain effects, or do I need to receive it multiple times for longer maintenance?
You can expect effects from a single session, but if you want to extend the maintenance period, it is recommended to undergo about three sessions at regular intervals. The maintenance period averages about 6 months to 1 year, and the perceived duration may vary depending on individual skin conditions and the number of sessions.
Q. Is there a risk of lumps or nodules forming inside the skin like with collagen boosters?
RE2O uses a material in a cell-free state that has had cellular components removed to reduce the risk of allergies or foreign body reactions. However, like other collagen boosters, the uniformity of the preparation and injection of the drug can affect the likelihood of clumping, so it is important to receive the procedure from an experienced medical professional.
Q. Is RE2O suitable for those with important events (weddings/shoots) coming up or for those with decreased skin density?
It is a viable option for those who have not been able to feel the effects of existing skin boosters due to decreased self-regeneration or for those who need quick changes before events or shoots. However, suitability may vary based on individual skin conditions, so it is advisable to confirm after a proper diagnosis.
It is advisable to proceed with treatments that match your skin condition and the investment made. Rather than simply following trendy treatments, it is the beginning of proper care to identify what is truly needed for your skin through a 3D diagnosis and decide on a treatment with the right ingredients.
Gangnam RE2O fills the skin's framework densely from within. We hope you take the time to regain your skin's inherent health and vitality without artificial changes for your thin and sensitive skin.
