Treatment Overview
Derma Shine Balance is a Korean skin booster treatment that uses a specialized mesotherapy device (Derma Shine injector) to evenly deliver a customized cocktail of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants into the dermis. Unlike fillers, it does not change facial volume, but instead focuses on hydration, oil–moisture balance, pore refinement, and overall skin health.
It is often compared with other boosters like Filorga NCTF:
- Derma Shine Balance: Targets hydration, sebum control, and skin barrier strengthening.
- Filorga NCTF: Focuses on anti-aging repair, fibroblast stimulation, and collagen renewal.
Korean dermatologists often combine the two—Derma Shine Balance for hydration + Filorga NCTF for cellular repair and rejuvenation.
Purpose & Benefits
- Hydration Boost: Delivers HA directly into the dermis for deep moisture.
- Oil–Moisture Balance: Regulates sebum while preventing dehydration.
- Pore Refinement: Minimizes enlarged pores and smooths texture.
- Radiance & Glow: Improves skin luminosity and clarity.
- Skin Barrier Repair: Restores resilience against environmental stress.
- Anti-Aging Maintenance: Softens fine lines and delays early aging.
- Synergy with NCTF: Derma Shine balances and hydrates, while NCTF regenerates deeper layers.
