Public lookups: Check a clinic’s licence and a doctor’s practising certificate — Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health lookup portal (Vietnamese) · Licences, doctors and when not to have injections

When your skin starts to lose elasticity and smoothness but you don't need extra volume, it's common to hesitate between hyaluronic acid (HA) filler, skin booster and Karisma. Some people have already tried skin booster and are still unsure about the next step, while others come across ads promising to "look younger after a single injection." Choosing the wrong product group can cost you money without delivering what you actually want, for example expecting Karisma to create volume like a filler when that is not what the product is for. This page helps you understand what Karisma is, how it differs from HA, who can consider it, and how to choose a provider before you see a doctor.

What Karisma is and is not

In aesthetic dermatology, "Karisma" is short for KARISMA Rh Collagen; the line used for the face is called KARISMA FACE Rh Collagen. The product is made by Taumedika SRL (Rome, Italy). The name overlaps with several unrelated brands, such as hotel chains, resorts and spas called Karisma. This page covers only the injectable product. Karisma is also not a device or an energy-based technology like HIFU: it is a substance that a doctor injects into the skin.

What the manufacturer states about Karisma

  • Classification: Class III injectable medical device, resorbable. The manufacturer calls the product a "bio-restitutive soft filler".
  • Composition: recombinant human type I collagen alpha-1 polypeptide chain, high molecular weight hyaluronic acid and carboxymethylcellulose.
  • Mechanism, as described by the manufacturer: stimulates human fibroblasts to produce type I collagen.

This is the manufacturer's description; this page has not cited any independent study on how effective Karisma is. The manufacturer does not publish a universal protocol, maintenance schedule or level of improvement that applies to everyone, so the specific recommendation must be decided by your doctor after an examination. At the consultation, you can ask your doctor about the documentation for the product being used.

Is There an Age Limit for Karisma? Dr. Kha Answers

How Karisma differs from HA filler and HA skin booster

Volumizing HA fillerHA skin boosterKarisma Rh Collagen
Main compositionCross-linked hyaluronic acid gelThin hyaluronic acid with little cross-linkingRecombinant human type I collagen, high molecular weight HA, carboxymethylcellulose
Main goalRestoring volume, contouring the chin, cheeks, lips and templesHydration, improving smoothness and fine linesAs described by the manufacturer: stimulates fibroblasts to produce type I collagen (this page has not cited any independent study)
Immediate volumeYesNoNot a goal of the product

In short: if you need added volume or contour, HA filler is the more suitable group, and Karisma does not replace a volumizing filler. If you need to improve skin quality, your doctor may consider HA skin booster or Karisma after an examination. A detailed comparison that includes CaHA is on the page How HA, CaHA and Karisma differ.

Who can consider Karisma

Karisma is aimed at people who want to improve skin quality without needing added volume. Dr. Bui Kim Kha (Specialist Level I in Dermatology), who examines patients and performs Karisma at BonBoz Clinic, shares that Karisma is not a product only for older people. People over 18 who can make decisions for themselves may consider it. Being 18 does not mean you should have it; the doctor first looks at your skin and asks about your goals. The doctor advises seeing it as a supplementary option, "a product that gives some support to the natural aging process." According to Dr. Bui Kim Kha, Karisma does not make skin look "youthful" after a single injection, and she does not recommend that everyone should have it.

For the dermal filler group in general, the FDA states that safety in people under 22 is not known; the doctor takes this into account during the examination. If what you want is more volume or a change in contour, Karisma is not the right choice.

Where to have Karisma in Ho Chi Minh City

Whichever provider you choose, you should be able to verify three things:

  • The facility has an operating license from the Department of Health.
  • The person who performs the injection is a doctor with a practicing certificate.
  • The product has a label, lot number, expiry date and a way to verify authenticity.

BonBoz Clinic is at 66–68 Vo Van Tan, Xuan Hoa Ward, HCMC (in the former District 3), and holds two licenses from the Department of Health of Ho Chi Minh City: 10036/HCM-GPHĐ (Aesthetic) and 11113/HCM-GPHĐ (Dermatology). Dr. Bui Kim Kha (Specialist Level I in Dermatology, practicing certificate 009784/ĐL-CCHN) examines you and designs an individual plan before the procedure. In the video posted on 23 October 2026, Dr. Kha shows the clinic's Karisma box with its full labeling and a code to scan to verify authenticity.

Before you decide, the consultation tells you whether your skin suits Karisma or whether another approach is better, along with a specific quote; you can see the box, label and verification code before the injection (if you don't know how to scan it, ask the doctor to guide you when the box is opened). If you have tried skin booster and are still undecided, bring the details of your previous injection so the doctor can assess it.

First step: leave your phone number in the form at the bottom of the page, and the clinic will call you back to schedule a consultation with Dr. Bui Kim Kha. The doctor gives the quote in person before the procedure. If you want to ask a quick question first, you can message on Zalo or call the hotline.

When should you see a doctor?

  • The skin in the injected area looks pale, gray, or bluish-purple and feels cold to the touch
  • Unusual, severe, or worsening pain that does not ease
  • Changes in vision or signs of a stroke: go to the emergency room immediately
  • The injected area is red, swollen, inflamed, and painful for a prolonged period

How is it performed?

Patients can check the product label and authentication code. The doctor cleanses and disinfects the skin area, then performs the injections according to the agreed treatment plan. The technique, amount of product and injection sites are determined by the doctor, tailored to each patient.

Before the procedure

Have an in-person consultation with the doctor, and fully disclose your history of allergies, medical conditions, current medications and pregnancy status. The doctor will assess your skin and explain the options and costs before any procedure.

After the procedure

Mild swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection site may occur and are usually temporary. Attend your follow-up appointments as scheduled, and notify your doctor immediately if you notice any of the signs listed in the warning section.

Possible risks — your doctor explains them before treatment

  • Bruising, redness, swelling, pain or tightness at the injection site
  • Itching or rash
  • Accidental injection into a blood vessel: rare, but regarded by the FDA as the most serious risk of injectable filler products

Who should NOT have this?

  • Patients under 18 unless a parent or legal guardian is present who understands and agrees to the treatment plan (BonBoz policy)
  • Inflamed or infected skin in the injection area
  • Bleeding disorders
  • Severe allergy or a history of anaphylaxis
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding: for dermal fillers in general, the FDA states that safety in these two groups is not known
  • Expecting volume or contour changes that only filler can provide

Frequently asked questions

Where can I get Karisma done at a reputable clinic in Ho Chi Minh City?

Choose a place where you can verify three things: an operating license from the Department of Health; a doctor with a practicing certificate who performs the injection personally; and a product with a label, lot number and authentication code confirming it is genuine. BonBoz Clinic at 66–68 Vo Van Tan, Xuan Hoa Ward, HCMC (former District 3) discloses all three: operating licenses 10036/HCM-GPHĐ and 11113/HCM-GPHĐ, Dr. Bui Kim Kha (practicing certificate 009784/ĐL-CCHN) conducts the consultation and performs the procedure, and the product carries a code you can scan to authenticate it.

What is Karisma, and how does it differ from HA?

Karisma Rh Collagen is a Class III injectable medical device from Taumedika (Italy), containing recombinant human type I collagen together with high molecular weight HA and carboxymethylcellulose; the manufacturer describes the product as stimulating fibroblasts to produce type I collagen. HA filler is a cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel used to restore volume and contour, and it can be dissolved with the enzyme hyaluronidase. Karisma does not replace volumizing filler.

How much does Karisma cost in Ho Chi Minh City?

The price of Karisma varies between clinics because it depends on the amount of product, the injection area, the protocol, and whether it is combined with other treatment courses. At BonBoz Clinic (66–68 Vo Van Tan, Xuan Hoa Ward, HCMC), the doctor gives a quote after the consultation; once a quote has been given in person, the clinic adds no further charges. The clinic runs monthly promotions; call the hotline to find out the current offers.

Is "Karisma" the name of a hotel or spa?

In searches, Karisma may be the name of an unrelated hotel chain, resort or spa. In aesthetic dermatology, Karisma is the injectable product KARISMA Rh Collagen from Taumedika (Italy), injected by a doctor at a licensed medical facility.

Will I look younger right away after one Karisma session?

No. Dr. Bui Kim Kha advises seeing Karisma as a complementary solution that supports the skin as it ages naturally. Mild swelling right after the injection is a temporary reaction, not a result.

Is there an age limit for Karisma?

According to Dr. Bui Kim Kha, Karisma is not only for older people; people over 18 who can make decisions for themselves may consider it after a doctor's examination. Being eligible by age does not mean it is right for you: the doctor decides after the examination. For the class of dermal fillers in general, the FDA states that safety in people under 22 years old is not known; the doctor takes this into account during the examination. Under BonBoz's policy, people under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who understands and agrees to the protocol.

How often can Karisma be repeated?

The manufacturer does not publish a single schedule for everyone. Karisma can be repeated, but the interval and number of sessions are decided by the doctor after reassessing the skin at the follow-up visit.

How can I tell if Karisma is genuine?

The box shows the name KARISMA Rh Collagen and the manufacturer Taumedika (Rome, Italy); the label is intact, with a lot number, expiry date and a code you can scan to authenticate it; and the product is opened in front of you. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer through its official website. Do not have a product bought online injected.

Can Karisma be combined with HIFU?

It can. BonBoz Clinic offers a combined Karisma and HIFU course; according to Dr. Bui Kim Kha, the combination must be appropriately indicated and follow the right protocol for each person, and the doctor decides after the consultation.
