The skin, the body’s primary protective barrier, endures constant exposure to environmental stressors. In summer, intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation accelerates skin aging and compromises the skin barrier, the first line of defense against UV rays, particulate matter, and other external threats. Prolonged sun exposure weakens this barrier, leading to inflammation, erythema, dryness, and hyperpigmentation.

With summer’s arrival, demand for dermatological interventions surges, particularly for skin booster treatments targeting UV-induced damage. Popular procedures include Rejuran Healer, CellExosome, Juvelook, and Elavie Rituo.

Elavie Rituo, known as an ECM booster, employs acellular human allogeneic dermis (hADM), a human-derived material that targets the extracellular matrix (ECM) within the skin’s dermal layer. It delivers critical components such as collagen, elastin, fibronectin, laminin, tenascin, growth factors, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), contributing to its high patient preference.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a sophisticated network of collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, and other molecules that maintain skin structure and elasticity. Aging reduces ECM density and functionality, resulting in fine lines, enlarged pores, and sagging skin. Maintaining ECM integrity is essential for long-term skin health.

Administered via intradermal injections, Elavie Rituo stimulates skin regeneration, enhancing elasticity and radiance. Its safety and efficacy are validated by approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and South Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). The treatment utilizes patented Alloclean Technology, which minimizes immune rejection while preserving the tissue’s three-dimensional structure, ensuring superior biocompatibility.

Beyond clinical interventions, summer skin health relies on fundamental practices: consistent UV protection, adequate hydration, and barrier reinforcement. Combining professional treatments like skin boosters with diligent sunscreen application and moisturization provides the most effective strategy for repairing damaged skin and sustaining its integrity.
