Treatment Overview
Aqua Shine Plus is a Korean-developed next-generation skin booster formulated with hyaluronic acid, peptides, multivitamins, amino acids, and minerals to deliver deep hydration, skin brightening, and anti-aging effects. Unlike traditional Botox or fillers, Aqua Shine Plus does not freeze facial muscles or volumize; instead, it nourishes the dermis to improve elasticity, reduce pigmentation, and refine overall skin quality.
It is frequently compared with Filorga NCTF 135HA, the French gold-standard mesotherapy cocktail:
- Aqua Shine Plus: Provides hydration, brightening, and skin revitalization.
- Filorga NCTF 135HA: Stimulates fibroblast activity, boosts collagen production, and supports long-term skin repair.
Korean dermatologists often combine the two—Aqua Shine Plus for radiance + Filorga NCTF for dermal nutrition and regeneration.
Purpose & Benefits
- Intense Hydration: Restores skin moisture with hyaluronic acid.
- Skin Brightening: Reduces dullness and hyperpigmentation.
- Wrinkle Softening: Smooths fine lines by stimulating dermal repair.
- Elasticity Boost: Peptides and amino acids strengthen collagen fibers.
- Skin Tone Evenness: Improves discoloration and creates radiant skin.
- Preventive Anti-Aging: Suitable for young adults as a first skin booster.
