What Is the Re20 Skin Booster?

The Re20 skin booster is an option used in aesthetic medicine to support skin texture, skin strength, and overall skin structure. Unlike many traditional skin boosters that primarily focus on hydration, Re20 is designed to support the skin’s internal structural framework, which plays an important role in long-term skin health.

​

Re20 is often described as an ECM skin booster because it focuses on supporting the skin’s extracellular matrix (ECM) rather than acting only on surface hydration or short-term effects. It is one of several ECM-based approaches used to maintain healthy skin quality as part of aesthetic treatments.

Understanding the Extracellular Matrix (ECM)

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a structural network found within the dermis. It supports skin cells, contributes to skin integrity, and helps maintain overall skin health.

The ECM is made up of key skin components, including:

  • Collagen (Type I being a major subtype)

  • Elastin

  • Hyaluronic acid

  • Fibronectin

  • Laminin

  • Tenascin

  • Growth factors

​

Together, these components contribute to skin elasticity, strength, and resilience, commonly associated with youthful human skin.

How Skin Aging Affects the ECM

As part of natural skin aging, the ECM gradually changes over time. Factors such as environmental stress and lifestyle factors may influence this process, leading to:

​

  • Thinning skin

  • Reduced elasticity

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Changes in skin condition and texture

​

When ECM support is reduced, the skin’s ability to maintain its structure and repair itself becomes less efficient.

How ECM Skin Boosters Work

ECM skin boosters support areas where ECM function has declined. The Re20 skin booster uses human acellular dermal matrix (hADM) technology in a micronized powder form, providing preserved ECM structure without relying on synthetic mimics or indirect stimulation alone.

​

This approach focuses on tissue support and reinforcement of the skin’s natural foundation, integrating with the skin’s existing structure over time.

Elravie Re20: Composition, Protocol, and Use

Elravie Re20 is designed to strengthen fragile or thinning skin, designed to support the structural framework of skin and areas affected by environmental stress or natural aging processes

​

  • The initial treatment protocol typically involves 2–3 sessions, spaced roughly 4 weeks apart.

  • Clinical studies report a 26.9% reduction in pore size and a 16.3% increase in skin elasticity.

  • The effects typically last 6 to 12 months, depending on individual factors such as skin condition and lifestyle.

 

Composition:

​

  • 89% collagen

  • 3% elastin

  • 0.4% glycosaminoglycans (including hyaluronic acid)

  • 7.6% other structural ECM proteins

​

Re20 is used as a professional injectable treatment and can be integrated into long-term skincare plans. It is designed to improve facial elasticity lines and provides structural support, while other ECM-based products, such as CellREDM, may focus on different aspects of the extracellular matrix. Both are derived from human skin ECM, but differ in particle size and specific effects:

​

  • Re20: micro-particle (~100 µm)

  • CellREDM: nano-particle (~75 µm)

​

As a primary ECM booster, Re20 supports the entire ECM, intended to provide structural support to the skin’s extracellular matrix and dermal components.

Re20 Compared to Conventional Skin Boosters

Conventional skin boosters often focus on hydration or stimulation using synthetic or animal-derived materials.
In contrast, Re20 is categorized as an ECM-focused skin booster, directly supporting the skin’s extracellular matrix.

 

Compared with other skin boosters, this approach aims to support:

​

  • Collagen and elastin balance

  • Skin density and skin strength

  • Long-term maintenance of skin quality

Skin Structure and Texture Changes Over Time

Clinical observations following Re20 treatment have shown gradual changes over several weeks, which may include:

​

  • measurable differences in skin texture

  • Reduced appearance of pores

  • changes in skin texture and appearance over time

  • measurable changes in skin density

​

Individual response varies depending on skin type, baseline skin condition, and lifestyle factors.

Collagen and Elastin Support

The ECM helps maintain collagen fibres and elastin within the dermis, supporting skin structure, elasticity, and resistance to mechanical stress.

Role of Hyaluronic Acid and Hydration

While Re20 focuses on structural support, hyaluronic acid remains important for hydration and moisture balance. In some cases, Re20 may be used alongside non-crosslinked HA treatments to address both hydration and structural support.

Skin Barrier and Repair

A well-supported ECM contributes to a stronger skin barrier and supports skin repair processes. By reinforcing ECM support, treatments like Re20 aim to help the skin maintain balance and resilience across different individual skin conditions.

Use Within Aesthetic Treatments

The Re20 ECM skin booster may be used on its own or alongside other aesthetic treatments, depending on clinical assessment. Integration with procedures such as laser therapy, HIFU, or radiofrequency can address multiple aspects of skin aging in a comprehensive plan.

Summary

The Re20 skin booster is an ECM-focused treatment option designed to support skin structure, texture, and strength. By targeting the extracellular matrix, it offers a structural approach to skin rejuvenation, focusing on maintaining healthy skin quality rather than temporary surface effects.
