Electri and KARISMA are non-surgical injectable options available in our Johor Bahru clinic. Electri supports skin hydration and texture using hyaluronic acid and sodium succinate.

Both are doctor-directed treatments and individual results will vary.

The Science of Skin Support
How Electri and KARISMA Work
Both treatments work differently to support skin quality. Our doctor will explain which approach is more suitable for your skin needs. This careful selection process is appreciated by our patients from Taman Molek, Tebrau, and Permas Jaya.
The mechanisms are explained in simple terms below:
The mechanisms are explained in simple terms below:
- Electri (Hyalual): This product contains two main ingredients. First, hyaluronic acid helps support the water balance in your skin, giving it moisture. Second, sodium succinate takes part in cellular energy processes and provides antioxidant defence. Together, they may help improve micro-circulation and restore a brighter, smoother skin texture over time.
- KARISMA Rh Collagen: This is a bio-stimulating gel. It contains recombinant human (rh) collagen. This ingredient encourages your skin’s fibroblast cells to build new type I collagen. It also contains hyaluronic acid for hydration and may include CMC to support the gel’s structure. The goal is to improve skin density and firmness with natural-looking results.
Personalised Treatment Plans
Who These Treatments May Help
Our doctor will assess your skin to decide if Electri or KARISMA is more appropriate. Patients from communities like Setia Tropika, Kempas, and Larkin choose us for this careful, doctor-directed approach.
These treatments may be suitable for different concerns:
These treatments may be suitable for different concerns:
- Electri (Hyalual): This is often chosen for patients with dull, tired-looking, or dehydrated skin. It can also help with fine texture issues. The goal is to improve overall skin radiance and moisture.
- KARISMA Rh Collagen: This option may be suggested for patients with early signs of skin laxity, such as a loss of firmness or density. It can also help soften the appearance of fine wrinkles while maintaining natural facial movement.
The Patient Journey
Plan, Timeline, and Technique
Your journey at Medi Clinic JB is a structured process. We guide patients from Johor and our visitors from Singapore through each stage with professional care.
- Consultation and Planning: Your journey begins with a private consultation with our doctor. The doctor will assess your skin and discuss your goals. Based on this, a personalised plan will be created, deciding whether Electri, KARISMA, or a combination is suitable.
- Treatment Technique: The injection technique depends on the product selected. For Electri, the doctor often uses a superficial papular technique, creating small bumps of product that absorb into the skin. For KARISMA, it is used as a soft filler and placed in specific tissue planes to support skin structure.
- Typical Timeline: The treatment schedule varies. Electri may be a single session with a review, or a short course may be suggested. KARISMA often involves an initial session with a review after 4 to 8 weeks, with more sessions as advised.
- Gradual Changes: Skin improvements are not instant. Changes may build gradually over several weeks to months as your skin responds to the treatment. Results vary, and no fixed timeline can be guaranteed for any individual.
- Review and Follow-Up: A follow-up visit is an important part of our process. It allows the doctor to assess your progress and discuss the results with you. This ensures you feel supported throughout your skin health journey with us.

Frequently Asked Questions About Electri & KARISMA
Here are answers to common questions about Electri and KARISMA. For personalised medical advice, please arrange a consultation with our doctor.
What is Electri vs a normal skin booster?
Electri is an injectable product that contains hyaluronic acid (HA) for hydration, similar to many skin boosters. However, it also contains sodium succinate. This second ingredient may support micro-circulation and cellular energy. This combination aims to improve both skin moisture and overall radiance. The doctor will decide if it is suitable for you.
What is KARISMA vs a typical HA filler?
KARISMA is considered a bio-stimulator or soft filler. While it contains HA for hydration, its main component is recombinant human collagen (rh-collagen). Unlike typical HA fillers that primarily add volume, KARISMA is designed to encourage your body to produce its own new collagen. This may help improve skin density and firmness over time.
Who is a good candidate?
A good candidate is someone seeking to improve skin quality. Electri may be suitable for dull or dehydrated skin. KARISMA may be better for early signs of laxity and fine lines. Suitability for patients in Johor Bahru or from Singapore is always determined after a one-on-one medical consultation with our doctor, who will assess your skin condition and health history.
How many sessions are needed?
This varies. Electri might be a single session or a short course, depending on your skin’s needs. KARISMA often involves an initial session followed by a review and potentially a second session a few weeks later. The doctor will recommend a personalised plan during your consultation. Maintenance sessions may be advised for both.
When will I see changes and how long do they last?
Changes are gradual. Improvements in skin hydration or texture may be noticed over several weeks. Collagen stimulation effects from KARISMA build over two to three months. The duration of the effects varies based on age, skin condition, and lifestyle. The doctor will provide a realistic timeline. No results can be guaranteed.
Can the under-eye area be treated?
Yes, the periorbital (under-eye) area is a common site for these treatments, especially for improving fine lines and skin texture. However, this is a delicate area that requires careful assessment and expert technique. The doctor will determine if you are a suitable candidate for treatment in this region and will select the appropriate product and injection depth for safety.
Can they be combined with other treatments?
Yes, these treatments can be part of a larger, long-term skin health programme. They can be combined with other procedures like microneedling, PN-HA boosters, or dermal fillers such as Belotero. Our doctor will design a safe and effective plan, ensuring proper timing between different treatments to meet your overall aesthetic goals.
What are the common side effects and downtime?
Downtime is usually short. Common side effects are mild and temporary, including redness, slight swelling, tenderness, and small bumps (papules) at the injection sites. Bruising can also occur. Most of these effects resolve within a few days. Our doctor will provide clear aftercare instructions to help manage them.
How is KARISMA different from other collagen stimulators?
KARISMA uses recombinant human (rh) collagen, which is produced without animal sources. This makes it structurally similar to the collagen in human skin. Other common collagen stimulators may use materials like Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) or Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) to trigger the body’s collagen response. The doctor will explain which type is most suitable for you.
