[Seongsu/Ttukseom] Hilo Wave vs. Rejuran: What's the Difference and Which Treatment is Right for Me?

Hilo Wave vs. Rejuran,

Which treatment is right for me?

Sio Clinic::Hilo Wave Rejuran

Hello. This is Sio Clinic.

​

Many people visiting our clinic these days

are concerned about skin elasticity, dryness from within, and fine wrinkles.

​

Among various skin care programs,

there's a treatment that has recently gained popularity.

​

​

It's Hilo Wave and Rejuran.

During consultations, many people ask,

Doctor, between Hilo Wave and Rejuran,

which one is more effective for me?

​

​

To be honest, from the start,

there isn't one single answer

that applies uniformly to everyone.

Both treatments are used to improve the skin's environment,

but the ingredients and mechanisms of action

are completely different.

​

For some, the main concerns might be severe dryness on the skin's surface

and fine wrinkles,

while for others, it might be a decrease in overall density due to thinning skin.

Rather than following trending treatments,

it's important to first get a diagnosis

of your current skin condition.

At Sio Clinic, we thoroughly analyze

skin thickness, elasticity, and the causes of dryness

from multiple angles before treatment.

​

​

Today, we will explain

how Hilo Wave and Rejuran treatments work,

and which approach might be more suitable for your skin condition.

1. Hilo Wave: What are its characteristics and mechanism?

Hilo Wave is a skin environment improvement treatment

based on Dual-HA (Dual Hyaluronic Acid),

which harmonizes high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid.

Simply put,

low molecular weight hyaluronic acid draws in and fills moisture deep into the skin,

​

while high molecular weight hyaluronic acid maintains the moisturizing environment and volume within the skin.

​

It's a treatment where you can expect simultaneous

moisture supply and improvement of the elasticity environment.

​

We often recommend Hilo Wave consultations

for those who have the following concerns:

- Severe internal skin tightness and dryness

- Frequent flaking after washing or applying makeup

- Overall rough skin texture

- Desire to improve dull skin

​

Unlike conventional fillers that artificially

plump up specific areas,

this method naturally spreads within the skin

to supplement moisture and elasticity.

​

It is performed by injecting small amounts at specific points

using a cannula and then allowing it to diffuse.

Therefore, the burden of irritation or swelling

after the procedure is relatively low.

​

However, the application method may vary

depending on facial fat volume, skin thickness, and degree of sagging,

so a diagnosis is essential.

The key is to perform the procedure after understanding

each individual's skin characteristics.

Even those who have observed

subtle skin changes around the eyes

are often very sensitive to changes in moisture levels in the dermis.

2. Rejuran Treatment: What is its approach?

Rejuran treatment approaches

from a slightly different perspective than conventional hyaluronic acid-based treatments.

​

The key is to directly supplement

the structural environment of the dermis, the extracellular matrix (ECM),

which strongly supports the skin.

​

ECM acts as a 'scaffold' that helps

various matrix components like collagen and elastin

to settle stably within the skin.

​

While previous treatments induced collagen production

through stimulation,

Rejuran involves directly supplying collagen, elastin, and ECM components

into the skin.

​

​

Therefore, Rejuran treatment can be considered

for those with the following skin concerns:

- Skin density is loosening and lacks firmness

- Fine wrinkles have become noticeably increased

- The underlying skin is very thin and weak

- Concerns about enlarged pores and skin texture

Loss of elasticity due to thinning skin

may not show sufficient improvement with

simple surface hydration alone.

​

In such cases, supplementing

the fundamental structural environment that supports the skin

is crucial.

​

For individuals with sensitive skin conditions or textures,

structural approaches are even more beneficial,

as they can be significantly affected by minor stimuli.

3. Hilo Wave vs. Rejuran: A Comparison of Differences

Both treatments aim to improve the overall skin environment.

​

However, there are distinct differences

in their internal mechanisms of action on the skin.

​

✓ Hilo Wave focuses on improving the skin's moisture environment

and restoring natural elasticity.

​

✓ Rejuran, on the other hand, concentrates on supplementing

the skin's supportive structure and density.

​

​

[ Suitable for Hilo Wave ]

- Improvement of internal dryness and dull skin texture

- Moist hydration and natural radiance

- Smooth and subtle elasticity enhancement

​

[ Suitable for Rejuran Treatment ]

- Strengthening density of thinned skin

- Reduction of fine wrinkles and pore concerns

- Fundamental supplementation of skin's supportive structure

​

​

✓ While Hilo Wave provides moisture and smoothness,

​

✓ Rejuran focuses on reinforcing the skin's structure

and filling in density.

​

However, actual skin conditions are often complex

and cannot be categorized into just one type.

​

​

​

Since the signs of aging and skin thickness vary by area,

a precise diagnosis by a medical professional

is essential, rather than relying on absolute standards.

4. Why Direct Consultation with a Sio Clinic Doctor is Important

More important than

which product

you choose is

how it is applied to your skin.

​

Even for the same symptom of dryness,

the treatment approach will differ completely

depending on whether the cause is barrier damage,

loss of elasticity, or thinning skin.

​

Therefore, at Sio Clinic,

the lead doctor conducts consultations directly,

examining skin texture, elasticity, wrinkle direction,

and facial fat volume from multiple angles.

​

Rather than deciding on a treatment based solely

on popularity or others' reviews,

it's important to first understand your current

skin condition.

​

Since skin thickness and texture vary by facial area,

the injection depth and dosage must also be

meticulously adjusted for each individual.

​

For collagen booster treatments,

rather than injecting a large amount unconditionally,

it is important to approach the necessary areas

with precision and delicacy.

​

✓ Hilo Wave: Moisture replenishment and natural elasticity improvement

✓ Rejuran Treatment: Supplementation of skin density and structural environment

​

It's impossible to say that one treatment is absolutely

superior to the other.

​

It is best to find the treatment that best addresses

your current skin condition and aging pattern.
