Korean Skin Booster Case: Skin Test Results Revealed! Even Naturally Dry Skin Can Glow

Published Updated 2 min read

Key takeaways

Korean skin booster case: dry skin that still flaked despite intensive moisturizing, with makeup sitting on dry patches and fine lines under the eyes. A pre-treatment skin test measured hydration at only 22% to 24%, below the 35% baseline, with oil levels on the high side. Numbing cream was applied before the Venustar 80 skin booster, which hurt less than expected and delivers hydrating ingredients directly into the dermis.

Years of dry, flaky skin: I'm done being the extremely dry-skin girl!

My skin is naturally dry, and as a dry-skin girl, staying hydrated felt like an impossible dream. I spent so much time on skincare, slathering on toner and lotion, but before long my skin was flaking and my makeup wearing off... My job also requires me to wear makeup, so my dry skin took a second beating from cosmetics. Over time my pores got bigger and my skin dehydrated, so makeup sat on dry patches, my forehead and chin often flaked, and the fine lines under my eyes grew more obvious... I worried more wrinkles were on the way... I'd had enough! I decided to try the skin booster injections that are all the rage in Korea, which supposedly make skin super hydrated. Could they rescue my extra-dry skin? I couldn't wait to find out!

Rescuing extra-dry skin: the hydration plan begins

No need to fly to Korea for skin boosters anymore!

Today I finally got to test the Korean skin booster I'd been looking forward to. Just how good is NAISS CLINIC's Korean Venustar 80 skin booster? Before treatment the nurse took photos for the record. Besides very dry skin under my eyes, my forehead was visibly flaking (so embarrassing), and my makeup sat terribly on dry patches! I hoped that afterward I'd have the dewy, glowing skin Korean girls have~

Pre-treatment hydration test results revealed

Next came tests of my skin's hydration, oil and elasticity. The results were a sea of red... The minimum for hydration is 35%, and I was only at 22 to 24%, severely dehydrated, while my oil levels were over the limit... I knew my skin was dry, but seeing those numbers was heartbreaking! The doctor said this is classic oiliness caused by dehydration, and an oil-water imbalance easily leads to many skin problems. Don't underestimate dehydrated skin; it's the first step toward skin aging!

After the numbing cream, the skin booster injections finally began~ I was still a bit nervous about needles, so asking the nurse to leave the numbing cream on longer was the right call! It hurt less than I imagined, and the doctor explained exactly what they'd do beforehand~ which really reassured me! Skin boosters use very fine needles to inject the nutrients your skin needs into the dermis. Ordinary sheet masks and skincare sit on the surface and struggle to reach deeper layers. Skin boosters work so well because the skin absorbs them directly! No wonder people say one skin booster session beats 100 sheet masks!

Professional pre-treatment testing and aftercare

I was really nervous about my first skin booster, but I had full confidence in the doctor and NAISS CLINIC. From the doctor's expertise to the well-equipped facilities and all the pre-treatment assessments, NAISS CLINIC looked after me carefully, and the nurses explained everything in detail beforehand, which put me at ease.
