Treatment Overview
Aegyo GF Glow is a growth factor–based skin rejuvenation treatment in Korea designed to restore radiance, hydration, and youthful charm—what Koreans call “aegyo”, meaning fresh and lively beauty. This treatment uses a serum rich in epidermal and fibroblast growth factors, combined with vitamins, peptides, and antioxidants, which is delivered into the dermis through microinjections, microneedling, or aqua infusion systems.
Unlike fillers, which alter volume, Aegyo GF Glow works on a cellular level, stimulating regeneration, improving skin tone, and enhancing hydration, making it one of the most popular growth factor skin therapies for achieving the K-beauty “glass skin” look.
