Skincellon is a wound dressing that forms a film over areas where the skin barrier is damaged, keeping in moisture and protecting the skin. It contains EGF, bFGF, and PN.
At our clinic, we use Skincellon as part of Riragen Sono treatment. You can check the treatment process and cost in the Riragen Sono Guide.
1. What is Skincellon?
Skincellon is a gel-type wound dressing that protects damaged skin barriers, similar to NDA Plus, Kiomer, and Hyracell.
Its composition is quite simple, consisting of purified water, sodium hyaluronate, PN, 1,2-hexanediol, EGF, and bFGF.
Hyaluronic acid forms a physical moisture film that protects damaged skin barriers.
2. Why should damaged skin barriers be protected?
The skin barrier is a structure that reduces moisture loss from the skin and prevents external irritants from easily entering.
However, repeated dermatitis weakens the barrier, allowing irritants to enter more easily and cause inflammation, and inflammation continues a vicious cycle that inhibits barrier recovery.1
A wound dressing forms a physical film that keeps in moisture and protects damaged skin.
3. EGF, bFGF, and PN in Skincellon
There are many types of wound dressings. Skincellon contains EGF, bFGF, and PN.
EGF and bFGF are growth factors widely studied in wound healing research, and PN is a DNA-derived ingredient widely studied in skin regeneration and wound healing research.2,3,4
It is a wound dressing like Kiomer, Hyracell, and NDA Plus; the difference is that it also contains EGF, bFGF, and PN.
4. Why is a simple ingredient list an advantage?
When you have dermatitis, your skin barrier is usually weakened, so ingredients like fragrances, preservatives, and emulsifiers can penetrate more easily and trigger contact dermatitis.
That’s why, when you have dermatitis, it’s best to prioritize products with a simple ingredient list.
Because Skincellon has a simple ingredient list, it is less likely to trigger contact dermatitis.
Of course, this does not mean it is non-irritating for everyone; if itching, swelling, or weeping becomes apparent after application, use should be discontinued and the condition checked.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Skincellon a moisturizer?
Rather than a general cosmetic moisturizer, it is a wound dressing intended to protect areas where the skin barrier is damaged.
How is it different from Kiomer, Hyracell, and NDA Plus?
All of these are wound dressings that can be used to protect damaged skin. Skincellon differs in that it also contains EGF, bFGF, and PN.
Is a prescription required?
A prescription is not required. Skincellon is not a prescription drug, but a medical device used for the purpose of protecting damaged skin barriers. However, it is recommended to use it after a consultation to check the extent of barrier damage and the area of application.
Can I claim South Korean private health insurance?
Even if purchased for therapeutic purposes after a consultation, the payout of private health insurance depends on your policy terms and the insurance company’s review. You may be requested to provide medical records, purchase history, and photos of the lesions if necessary.
Can it cause contact dermatitis?
The possibility is considered low. With a relatively short ingredient list, it is less likely to cause contact dermatitis than products containing many fragrances or auxiliary ingredients. However, if itching, swelling, or weeping becomes apparent after application, use should be discontinued and the condition checked.
