Treatment Overview
Aqua Shine Collagen Booster is a Korean skin booster therapy designed to deeply hydrate, stimulate collagen, and revitalize the skin using a powerful blend of hyaluronic acid (HA), peptides, vitamins, and antioxidants. Unlike single-ingredient boosters, Aqua Shine provides a comprehensive rejuvenation effect—restoring firmness, improving skin tone, and promoting a youthful glow.
This treatment is widely used in Korean dermatology for its collagen-inducing properties, helping patients achieve smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.
It belongs to the Skin Booster Combination Therapy family (Zenith PN Fusion, Xela Rederm, Shining PN, Rejuran):
- Aqua Shine Collagen Booster: Best for hydration + collagen stimulation + glow.
- Other boosters: May focus more on DNA repair, pigmentation, or elasticity.
Purpose & Benefits
- Collagen Stimulation: Peptides and nutrients encourage collagen and elastin production.
- Deep Hydration: HA restores plumpness and smooths fine lines.
- Firmness & Elasticity: Improves skin density and tightness.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Softens both fine and early static wrinkles.
- Radiance & Glow: Brightens skin tone and reduces dullness.
- Skin Tone Improvement: Vitamins and antioxidants help correct uneven pigmentation.
- Synergy with Other Boosters: Often paired with PN/PRP, exosomes, or skin lifting procedures.
