[Hinews] Summer poses significant challenges for skin health. Dermatologists often see patients grappling with redness, dryness, and diminished elasticity during this season. These concerns arise from repeated exposure to external aggressors such as intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation, sweat, sebum, rapid temperature shifts, and air conditioning. Such stressors compromise the skin’s protective barrier and disrupt the extracellular matrix (ECM) within the dermis, resulting in visible skin damage.

UV rays and heat dilate cutaneous blood vessels and raise skin temperature, leading to redness and increased sensitivity. High temperatures combined with air-conditioned environments accelerate moisture evaporation, intensifying inner dryness and a tight, uncomfortable sensation. Furthermore, summer UV exposure hastens the degradation of collagen and elastin, weakening the dermal ECM and contributing to reduced elasticity and sagging along the jawline.

Addressing these issues requires more than surface-level relief; it demands a restorative approach to the skin’s internal environment. Among available treatments, Ellabié Ritua emerges as a standout ECM booster, derived from human acellular allogeneic dermis (hADM). Its composition closely mirrors the skin’s natural ECM, enabling seamless integration into the dermal layer to repair damaged ECM effectively.
Key constituents—collagen, elastin, fibronectin, laminin, tenascin, growth factors, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)—work in concert during treatment to enhance fine wrinkles, elasticity, pore appearance, and overall skin texture.

Dr. Jinhee Choi, director of Lamar Clinic’s Gangdong branch, underscores the treatment’s value: “When skin turns sensitive, red, or loses elasticity, ECM restoration procedures can tackle both aging and skin concerns concurrently. Ellabié Ritua rebuilds the skin’s structural foundation, making it an excellent option for those dealing with persistent redness, dryness, or sagging.” She cautions, however, that “individualized treatment plans are critical, as skin conditions vary. Consulting with seasoned medical professionals to craft a tailored approach ensures safety and minimizes potential side effects.”
