Q1. How is Laetigen different from regular collagen injections or fillers?
A. While regular fillers are used to add volume and conventional collagen injections 'induce the production' of collagen within the body, Laetigen is a procedure that directly injects 'pure Type 1 collagen'—which makes up 90% of our skin's dermal layer—into the skin. This allows for an immediate and direct improvement of the skin environment.
Q2. Since it is a collagen injection, should I be worried about allergic side effects?
A. Laetigen uses sterilized collagen from which allergens have been removed through a highly advanced purification technology, so the risk of immune rejection or allergic reactions is extremely low. You can receive the treatment safely.
Q3. How many days does the embossing effect last after a Laetigen treatment?
A. Although it varies depending on skin thickness, the embossing (small bumps) that appears immediately after the procedure is generally absorbed and disappears within 24 to 48 hours. If you receive the treatment over the weekend, it will not significantly disrupt your return to work on Monday.
Q4. Can Laetigen be used on fine lines around the eyes or on neck wrinkles?
A. Yes, it can. Because Laetigen's particles are very soft, it shows excellent results in improving fine, crinkly wrinkles in the thin and sensitive eye area, as well as hard-to-treat neck wrinkles.
Q5. Is there a recommended treatment cycle to maximize the effects of Laetigen?
A. To build a strong initial foundation for the skin, we highly recommend a series of 3 sessions spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart. As the injected collagen settles into the dermal layer, skin thickness increases and elasticity noticeably improves.
