Aqua Shine Injection


Water-glow injection is a treatment that involves directly injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin. It is a nickname given because the skin appears to be holding water after the treatment .

Hyaluronic acid is a component naturally found in the dermis of our skin. It has water-holding sites throughout its chains, Once it settles within the dermis, it retains moisture in that spot.1)

Topical moisturizers slow down the evaporation of moisture from the surface of the skin. Hydro-glow injections directly deliver moisture-retaining ingredients into the dermis beneath.

Why Aqua Shine

Three reasons to choose skin glow injection

When topical moisturizers don't effectively relieve inner dryness
I recommend skin glow injection.

Hyaluronic acid in the dermis
01

It is a component that was originally in the skin.

Hyaluronic acid is a component that makes up the extracellular matrix of the dermis and is a naturally occurring substance in our skin . Its amount decreases with age, and water-glow injections replenish this lost amount with the same substance. It is gradually broken down by enzymes within the body and disappears without remaining.

It has been reported that hyaluronic acid in the dermis gradually decreases after adulthood.

Hyaluronic acid moisture binding
02

It retains a lot of water even with a small amount.

Hyaluronic acid molecules have densely packed water-holding sites along their chains. It is known that 1 gram can hold up to nearly 6 liters of water , so moisture within the dermis increases even with a small amount. This is why tightness within the skin is the first to decrease after the treatment .

The actual binding amount varies depending on the molecular weight and the surrounding tissue environment.

Shallow layer dispersion injection
03

It only adds moisture without creating volume.

Even though it is the same hyaluronic acid, its purpose differs from that of volume-creating fillers. Aqua injections are administered in small amounts over a wide area within the shallow layer , evenly improving skin texture and hydration while preserving the facial shape. Therefore, the facial contours do not change even immediately after the treatment .

Non-crosslinked & Crosslinked

How are skin glow injection and fillers different?

Even with the same hyaluronic acid, depending on the processing method
The duration of stay on the skin and uses differ.

NON-CROSSLINKED

Non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid

CROSSLINKED

Cross-linked hyaluronic acid

structure
Unchained As it is Hyaluronic acid
Place a bridge between the chains Woven like a net form
Formulation
It is thin and spreads well.
It has viscosity, so it stays at the injection site.
Duration
approximately 1-2 months
approximately 6-12 months
Injection depth
Small amounts widely in the shallow dermis
In the form of lumps in the deep layer of the skin
Immediately after injection
There is little bulging.
The injection site maintains its raised shape.
Expected effects
Deep tightness, roughness, overall skin texture
Volume increase, wrinkle filling

* Crosslinking: A processing method that slows down the degradation rate by creating bonds between hyaluronic acid chains.

How It Works

Mechanism of action of skin glow injection

1
Principle of Operation Stage 1

The injected hyaluronic acid
It is evenly distributed in the dermis.

Hyaluronic acid injected little by little into the shallow dermis spreads between the tissues and settles in.

2
Operating principle, 2 stages

It attracts moisture from the surroundings
Hold on tight.

Hyaluronic acid combines with surrounding water to retain moisture within the dermis. The skin becomes hydrated and its elasticity improves.

3
3-step operating principle

A moisture-retaining substrate
It supports the skin from the inside.

The hydrated dermis supports the skin from within, making the texture smooth and preventing makeup from flaking.

Treatment Areas

skin glow injection treatment area

It is primarily used on areas where inner tightness is felt first or where the texture has become rough.

skin glow injection treatment area
Butterfly Zone 2.5cc
Both both cheeks 5cc
The entire face (including the forehead) 7.5cc

It can also be used on wrinkles on the back of the hands, neck, etc.
1cc fits one business card size (9cm x 5cm) area.

Recommended For

I recommend this to people like this.

My skin feels tight even after washing my face.
For those with easily dry skin

The skin texture is rough and
People whose makeup tends to cake

The drier it is, the finer the wrinkles
The person who stands out more

For dull and dry skin
For those who want to add a dewy glow

Not only the results, but even the difference in experience

The Episode Difference

Why It's Different

Every process has its own reason for the EPISODE.

01

Only essential treatment
I recommend it.

Pre- treatment consultation

During the consultation, first check if your skin needs a skin glow injection, and The treatment is performed after determining the necessary dosage and area.

NECESSITY

02

With 33G micro needles
Reduced needle irritation.

33G micro needle

For water-glow injections, a 33G fine needle is used because the injections must be administered in fine, distinct intervals. The 34G needle is thinner, but it is too thin for hyaluronic acid to pass through.

COMFORT

03

The more sessions a treatment accumulates, the more
Records are important.

Online treatment Report

Since it is a treatment that requires multiple sessions, the products used and quantities for each session, I am documenting my skin changes in an online report. The plan for the next session is also determined based on this record.
