1:1 Consultation →What Is Dermal Regeneration Therapy?

Dermal Regeneration Therapy is Aube Clinic's own proprietary treatment — a premium procedure developed specifically for this clinic and not available as a standardized offering elsewhere. Unlike topical skincare or surface-level treatments, this therapy delivers nutrients and hydration deep into the skin, working to improve texture, tone, elasticity, and hydration simultaneously through a single, targeted approach.
The treatment's core mechanism involves injecting an FDA-approved collagen ingredient directly into the dermal layer — the layer of skin responsible for structural elasticity and firmness. Rather than addressing only the visible surface of the skin, Dermal Regeneration Therapy is designed to restore the skin's internal structure and fundamentally activate its own regenerative capacity. This dermal-layer focus is central to what distinguishes the treatment from many conventional skin quality procedures, which often work primarily at the surface.
Who Needs Dermal Regeneration Therapy?
Dermal Regeneration Therapy tends to suit patients who want a foundational, structural approach to skin improvement rather than a purely cosmetic surface treatment.
Adults typically in their 30s to 60s experiencing reduced dermal elasticity or a loss of skin structural integrity
Patients with uneven skin texture, tone, or hydration who want comprehensive, simultaneous improvement across multiple concerns
Those interested in a treatment that addresses skin quality at a structural level rather than only superficially
Individuals who prefer a proprietary, clinic-specific treatment protocol backed by FDA-approved ingredients
Patients willing to commit to a short series of sessions for gradual, long-term dermal regeneration rather than seeking an immediate one-time fix
Those who also have concerns about enlarged pores and want to explore a combined treatment approach
Patients who prioritize verified safety standards, such as FDA approval, when choosing an injectable skin treatment
Anyone building a broader skin-health routine who wants a foundational dermal treatment alongside other facial procedures
Because Dermal Regeneration Therapy follows a specific, clinic-developed protocol with a recommended session series, a consultation is the appropriate way to understand how the treatment plan and timeline would apply to your skin.
Meet the Specialist

Dr. SuHyun Kim
Thread Lifting Expert & Chief Director
Dr. SuHyun Kim serves as Chief Director of Aube Clinic, where he personally oversees the administration of the clinic's proprietary Dermal Regeneration Therapy, drawing on more than a decade of clinical experience and over 19,200 cumulative lifting cases across his broader practice. He is Korea's sole certified Gold Label practitioner for Silhouette Soft and holds Key Doctor designations across numerous thread and filler systems, including Aptos, Ellanse, Ultracol, Jamber & Cavern Lifting, Megafill, LinearFirm, Japan 3D Mesh Cog, and i-Thread Lifting.
As President of the International Thread Lifting Research Association and Director of the Korean Society of Clinical Aesthetic Medicine, Dr. Kim is the sole author of the Standard Guide to Thread Lifting, and his development of Dermal Regeneration Therapy as an in-house protocol reflects the same rigorous, research-driven approach he brings to his thread lifting techniques. His career includes leadership roles as Chief Director at Siren Clinic and Director positions at Oracle Plastic Surgery Clinic and Seolleim Dermatology Clinic in Dalian, China.
Every consultation for Dermal Regeneration Therapy at Aube Clinic is conducted personally by Dr. Kim under a strict one-patient-per-time-slot policy, without involvement from sales staff. His approach emphasizes designing the treatment series and any combined add-ons, such as pore regeneration, around each patient's individualized program.
Dermal Regeneration Therapy Treatment Areas and Expected Improvements

Dermal Layer Elasticity: The core focus of this treatment is the dermal layer itself, where collagen is injected directly to strengthen structural elasticity from within. This targets the layer of skin most responsible for firmness, rather than only addressing surface appearance.
Overall Skin Regeneration: By restoring damaged areas of the dermal layer and promoting new collagen generation, the therapy is designed to support the skin's own regenerative processes, contributing to broader improvements in skin condition over time.
Pore Appearance (Optional Combined Treatment): For patients with pore-related concerns, Dermal Regeneration Therapy can be combined with a pore regeneration procedure at no additional cost, based on an individualized program, to maximize the synergistic effect between the two treatments.
Expected improvements generally include strengthened dermal elasticity, promoted regeneration within the dermal layer, and an overall improvement in skin condition. As with any injectable treatment, individual results vary based on skin condition and consistency of the recommended treatment series, and no specific outcome is guaranteed.
Dermal Regeneration Therapy Treatment Process and Timeline
Here is what patients can generally expect from consultation through the completion of the recommended treatment series.
Consultation and Skin Assessment — Treatment begins with a personal consultation with Dr. Kim to assess your dermal condition and determine whether Dermal Regeneration Therapy, alone or combined with pore regeneration, is right for you.
Anesthesia — The treatment is performed without anesthesia or with a topical numbing cream applied beforehand, depending on patient comfort.
Dermal-Layer Collagen Injection — The FDA-approved collagen ingredient is injected directly into the dermal layer to activate the skin's regenerative processes. The procedure typically takes around 30 to 40 minutes.
Immediate Aftercare — Depending on the specific version of treatment, patients may experience no downtime or an average recovery period of 3 to 5 days.
Recommended Session Series — For optimal results, the treatment is recommended in a series of 3 sessions spaced 1 month apart, allowing for gradual and long-term dermal regeneration.
Follow-Up — As the dermal layer responds and regenerates across the recommended series, improvements in skin firmness and overall condition are expected to develop progressively.
Results, Safety, and Longevity
Because Dermal Regeneration Therapy is designed to restore the skin's internal structure gradually, the recommended protocol of 3 sessions at 1-month intervals is intended to produce a long-term, stable improvement in skin condition rather than a single, temporary change. This progressive approach reflects the treatment's underlying goal: activating the dermal layer's own regenerative capacity rather than delivering a short-lived surface effect.
As an FDA-approved collagen-based treatment, Dermal Regeneration Therapy has a verified safety profile, and Aube Clinic's proprietary protocol has been developed specifically to support consistent, controlled results. Side effects and discomfort associated with the treatment are generally described as mild, though they vary depending on the individual. Serious complications are uncommon but, as with any medical procedure, cannot be entirely ruled out. Results are not permanent, and the degree and duration of improvement will vary based on individual skin condition and adherence to the recommended session series.
Why Choose Aube Clinic for Dermal Regeneration Therapy?

Dermal Regeneration Therapy is not a treatment available at every clinic — it is Aube Clinic's own proprietary protocol, developed specifically to address skin concerns at the dermal layer rather than the surface alone. This differentiation reflects the same commitment to specialized, research-driven technique that has made Aube Clinic Korea's only Silhouette Soft Gold Label-certified thread lifting provider.
Every Dermal Regeneration Therapy plan is designed around the individual patient, including whether to incorporate the complimentary pore regeneration add-on for enhanced synergy. The treatment can also be combined with the clinic's thread lifting options, such as Silhouette Soft or Aptos, or with device-based technologies like 3Deep RF and Corege RF, for patients seeking both structural lifting and deep skin restoration.

A proprietary, in-house treatment protocol not replicated at other clinics, using FDA-approved collagen ingredients for verified safety
Strict one-patient-per-time-slot policy, with every consultation conducted personally by Dr. Kim — never delegated to sales staff
Direct dermal-layer treatment approach, targeting skin structure rather than surface appearance alone
A complimentary pore regeneration add-on available as part of an individualized program, at no additional cost
Real Patient Examples
Dermal Elasticity Patient, Mid-40s
This patient was concerned about an overall loss of skin firmness and uneven texture that topical products hadn't meaningfully improved. After a consultation, Dr. Kim recommended the full 3-session Dermal Regeneration Therapy series. She reported progressively firmer, more resilient-feeling skin as the sessions continued, describing the change as a genuine improvement in her skin's underlying quality.
Combined Pore and Dermal Patient, Early 30s
Concerned about both enlarged pores and early signs of reduced skin elasticity, this patient opted to combine Dermal Regeneration Therapy with the complimentary pore regeneration add-on. She appreciated being able to address both concerns within one coordinated program and noted smoother-looking skin and refined pores as her sessions progressed.
