Retigen (Collagen Booster)
Retigen is a collagen-based skin booster offered at Violacell to support skin density, firmness and texture. It is injected into the dermis in about 20–30 minutes with numbing cream and usually has little downtime. It is often chosen for thinning skin that has lost bounce.
What is Retigen (Collagen Booster)?
As collagen declines with age, skin becomes thinner and more fragile. Collagen boosters aim to support the dermal structure.
