Treatment Overview
Aquashine is a highly popular skin booster in Korea that combines hyaluronic acid (HA) with peptides, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Unlike traditional HA injections that only provide hydration, Aquashine delivers a multi-functional rejuvenating effect by brightening the skin, improving pigmentation, and reducing early wrinkles.
It is often compared with Juvelook, another Korean skin booster:
- Juvelook combines Poly-D-Lactic Acid (PDLA) + HA for collagen stimulation and scar remodeling.
- Aquashine focuses on hydration, pigmentation correction, and glow.
Many dermatologists in Seoul recommend using them together: Aquashine for glow and brightening, Juvelook for collagen stimulation and scar repair.
Purpose & Benefits
- Hydration Boost: HA deeply moisturizes for plump, dewy skin.
- Wrinkle Softening: Smooths fine lines and early creases.
- Pigmentation Control: Peptides and antioxidants reduce spots and discoloration.
- Elasticity Support: Improves firmness by stimulating fibroblasts.
- Skin Brightening: Revives dull skin for a radiant glow.
- Pore & Texture Refinement: Improves roughness and mild acne scarring.
- Preventive Anti-Aging: Ideal for patients in their late 20s–40s.
Ideal Candidates
Aquashine in Korea is recommended for:
- Adults in their 20s–50s with dull, dehydrated skin.
- Patients with pigmentation, uneven tone, or early wrinkles.
- Individuals looking for a hydrating + brightening booster.
- Men and women considering alternatives to Juvelook:
- Aquashine: Best for hydration, glow, and pigmentation care.
- Juvelook: Best for collagen regeneration, wrinkles, and scars.
- Patients interested in combination booster protocols for comprehensive results.
Possible Risks & Complications
Aquashine is safe in Korea, but mild side effects may include:
- Redness & Pinpoint Bumps: Common after injection, fade within 24–48 hours.
- Swelling or Bruising: Temporary, especially under the eyes.
- Dryness or Flaking: May occur as skin regenerates.
- Rare Risks: Allergic reaction or infection (extremely rare in Korea’s clinics).
Surgical Techniques Used
Though non-surgical, Aquashine injections are performed with advanced precision:
- Micro-Injections: HA + peptides delivered intradermally.
- Meso-Gun Protocols: Automated delivery ensures even distribution.
- Customized Skin Mapping: Adjusted for pigmentation, wrinkles, or scars.
- Aquashine BR vs BTX: BR focuses on brightening; BTX includes peptides for wrinkle care.
- Combination Care: Aquashine often paired with Juvelook, Rejuran, or PRP.
- Multi-Session Treatment: Usually 3–4 sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately After: Redness, bumps, or mild swelling.
- 1–3 Days: Skin calms; hydration effect begins.
- 2–4 Weeks: Wrinkles soften, glow improves, pigmentation fades.
- 3–4 Sessions: Recommended for full, cumulative results.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid makeup for 24 hours.
- Use SPF 50+ daily.
- Keep skin hydrated with gentle serums.
- Avoid alcohol, sauna, or strenuous exercise for 1–2 days.
Results & Longevity
