Atelocollagen Injection explained

Atelocollagen is collagen that has been purified to remove the parts most likely to cause immune reactions. It is usually sourced from pigs or cows. Korean clinics use it as a skin booster for thin skin, under-eye lines, neck lines and shallow acne scars.

How Atelocollagen Injection works

The collagen is injected into the dermis, where it adds structure directly. It also acts as a framework that the skin's own cells can build new collagen around. This can make thin skin look firmer and smoother over a few weeks. It adds only slight volume, so it is not a replacement for filler.
