Treatment Overview
Aqua GF Renewal is a growth factor–based skin rejuvenation treatment in Korea that focuses on restoring hydration, elasticity, and cellular renewal. Using a specialized aqua growth factor cocktail—a blend of hyaluronic acid, epidermal growth factors (EGF), fibroblast growth factors (FGF), peptides, and antioxidants—the solution is delivered into the dermis via microinjections or aqua infusion devices.
Unlike fillers, which add volume, Aqua GF Renewal works at the cellular level to boost collagen production, improve elasticity, and deeply hydrate the skin, making it one of Korea’s most advanced therapies for achieving the dewy, youthful “glass skin” effect.
Purpose & Benefits
- Cellular Regeneration: Growth factors repair skin damage and stimulate renewal.
- Deep Hydration: Hyaluronic acid plumps and moisturizes the dermis.
- Firmness & Elasticity: Collagen and elastin activity improves skin resilience.
- Fine Line Reduction: Smooths wrinkles caused by dryness and aging.
