Treatment Overview
Aquashine is one of Korea’s most popular multi-action skin boosters, formulated with hyaluronic acid (HA), peptides, amino acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. It is designed to improve hydration, skin tone, elasticity, and glow, making it a favorite among patients seeking the famous Korean “glass skin” effect.
It is often compared with Nucleofill, another regenerative skin booster in Korea:
- Aquashine: Focuses on hydration, brightening, and wrinkle softening with HA and nutrients.
- Nucleofill: Uses polynucleotides (PN) to stimulate collagen, improve elasticity, and repair damaged skin.
Many dermatologists recommend Aquashine for immediate hydration and radiance while Nucleofill strengthens and regenerates skin structure for long-term anti-aging.
Purpose & Benefits
- Deep Hydration: HA restores moisture and plumpness.
- Wrinkle Softening: Smooths fine lines and shallow folds.
- Brightening Effect: Improves pigmentation, melasma, and dullness.
- Elasticity Boost: Peptides stimulate fibroblast activity for firmer skin.
- Texture Refinement: Shrinks pores and smooths roughness.
- Preventive Anti-Aging: Ideal for younger patients.
- Synergy with Nucleofill: Aquashine hydrates and brightens, while Nucleofill repairs and strengthens.
Ideal Candidates
Aquashine in Korea is recommended for:
- Adults in their 20s–50s with dull, dry, or aging skin.
- Patients with fine wrinkles, pigmentation, or uneven texture.
- Men and women comparing Aquashine vs Nucleofill:
- Aquashine: Best for hydration, glow, and pigmentation improvement.
- Nucleofill: Best for collagen stimulation, elasticity, and repair.
- Individuals seeking combination protocols for both instant glow and long-term repair.
Possible Risks & Complications
Aquashine is safe in Korea’s top dermatology clinics, but mild side effects may occur:
- Redness or Pinpoint Bumps: Common, resolve in 24–48 hours.
- Mild Swelling or Bruising: Temporary at injection sites.
- Tightness or Tenderness: Normal for 1–2 days.
- Rare Risks: Allergic reaction or infection (extremely rare).
Surgical Techniques Used
Though non-surgical, Aquashine requires specialized injection protocols:
- Micro-Injections: HA solution injected intradermally.

Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately After: Mild redness, swelling, or bumps.
