Extracellular matrix · Singapore
An injectable skin quality treatment that supports the extracellular matrix, the skin's underlying structure, to help improve firmness, elasticity and radiance.
Support for the skin’s own framework.
An ECM skin booster is an injectable skin quality treatment that works on the extracellular matrix (ECM), the network that supports collagen and elastin fibres. Fusion Medical's ECM Skin Booster is made from real human-derived ECM (hADM), containing collagen, elastin, GAGs such as hyaluronic acid and other proteins.
Healthy-looking skin is influenced by many factors, including hydration, collagen content, lifestyle habits, sun exposure and the natural ageing process. Over time, the skin may become drier, less radiant and more prone to the appearance of fine lines.
Instead of focusing only on hydration, glow or collagen, ECM skin boosters work on something much more foundational: the extracellular matrix (ECM), the ‘living skin infrastructure’ that determines firmness, elasticity, radiance and how young or old your skin behaves.
How it works
When the extracellular matrix weakens, collagen loses its structure and effectiveness, so skin may look lax or dull even with collagen-focused or hydration-based treatments. By targeting the ECM directly, an ECM skin booster supports the skin's underlying structure, helping collagen function more effectively while improving skin quality, elasticity and long-term resilience.
The skin's living infrastructure
The extracellular matrix plays several key roles in skin health:
Made from human-derived ECM
Because it is made from human-derived ECM (hADM), it contains the same kinds of components youthful skin is naturally built with:
Support beneath the surface
Rather than adding hydration or collagen alone, it supports the structure collagen relies on, for improved hydration at a structural level, better elasticity and strength, and stronger skin resilience.
Gradual integration
Most patients start with 2–3 sessions spaced four weeks apart, allowing the ECM to gradually integrate the structural components and reinforce collagen organisation. Maintenance sessions may follow.
Who it suits
ECM Skin Booster is suitable for people experiencing dry or dehydrated skin, a loss of radiance, dull or rough texture, sagging or crepey skin, or other early signs of skin ageing. Your doctor assesses your skin and goals first.
Pregnant, breastfeeding, allergic to any component or have a skin infection? Tell your doctor first.
Improved skin hydration at a structural level, not only at the surface.
Enhanced skin radiance for skin that has lost its glow.
Improves overall skin quality where texture looks dull or rough.
Improves skin elasticity and strength, and strengthens skin resilience.
Improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and other early signs of skin ageing.
What to expect
A consultation reviews your skin condition, treatment goals and medical history, and whether ECM Skin Booster suits you.
The treatment area is cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied.
Small amounts of ECM Skin Booster are administered into the skin with fine needles at multiple injection points, typically over 30 to 45 minutes.
Skip saunas, steam rooms and hot baths for several days and strenuous exercise for the first day. Stay hydrated, use sunscreen and follow your doctor's instructions.
From our doctors
Our doctor explains the extracellular matrix (ECM): the structure around skin cells that supports how they communicate, repair and regenerate, and why ECM treatments focus on that structure rather than on the cells alone.
Safety & expectations
Recovery is usually quick, but responses vary: your doctor sets your schedule after assessing your skin.
There is minimal downtime. Mild redness, small injection marks, swelling, bruising or tenderness are generally temporary and usually resolve within a few days. Mention any allergies, medicines, pregnancy or previous treatments to your doctor beforehand, and follow the aftercare advice.
An ECM skin booster is an injectable treatment aimed at the extracellular matrix, the framework of collagen, elastin and GAGs that helps determine the skin's firmness and elasticity. At Fusion Medical, ECM Skin Booster is made from real human-derived ECM (hADM), and a course usually starts with 2–3 sessions spaced four weeks apart.
Many skin boosters focus mainly on hydration, glow or collagen. An ECM skin booster targets the extracellular matrix, which supports collagen and elastin fibres, regulates hydration and enables the cell communication needed for repair. The aim is to help collagen function more effectively and improve skin quality, elasticity and resilience over time.
The number of ECM Skin Booster sessions depends on your skin's needs and goals. A typical starting course is 2–3 sessions spaced four weeks apart, giving the ECM time to integrate and support collagen organisation. Maintenance sessions may then be recommended to sustain results and support long-term skin resilience.
There is minimal downtime after an ECM skin booster, and most patients resume normal daily activities shortly after treatment. Mild redness, small injection marks, mild swelling, bruising or tenderness at the injection sites are generally temporary and usually resolve within a few days, although recovery times vary.
After ECM Skin Booster, avoid strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours and excessive heat, such as saunas, steam rooms and hot baths, for several days. Maintain adequate hydration, use sunscreen daily and follow any specific instructions from your doctor. Proper aftercare may help support recovery and overall skin health.
Your doctor first assesses your skin, goals and medical history. The area is cleansed and a topical numbing cream applied, then small amounts of ECM Skin Booster are injected into the skin with fine needles at multiple points. Treatment typically takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the area.
ECM Skin Booster may be used on the face, forehead, cheeks, perioral area, chin or full face, and on the under-eye area where clinically appropriate. Your doctor will advise which areas suit your skin quality and hydration concerns.
Yes. ECM Skin Booster is made from real human-derived ECM (hADM). If you have questions about the product's source, processing or suitability for you, your doctor can go through them during your consultation.
