Treatment Overview
Derma Shine is one of Korea’s most popular skin booster treatments, widely known as the “glass skin infusion.” It uses a meso-gun to evenly deliver hyaluronic acid (HA), vitamins, minerals, and nutrients into the dermis for deep hydration and rejuvenation. Unlike single-focus boosters, Derma Shine is designed to flood the skin with moisture while stimulating collagen, improving elasticity, and enhancing natural glow.
It belongs to the Skin Booster Combination Therapy family (Aqua Shine, BeBe Glow, Chanel Injection, Zenith PN Fusion):
- Derma Shine: Best for deep hydration + plumping + glow.
- Aqua Shine: Best for collagen + elasticity + firming.
- BeBe Glow: Best for tone correction + semi-permanent glow.
- Chanel Injection: Best for total skin nutrition + radiance.
Purpose & Benefits
- Deep Hydration: High concentration of HA plumps and smooths fine lines.
- Collagen Activation: Nutrient infusion stimulates collagen remodeling.
- Glass Skin Effect: Boosts radiance and transparency of skin tone.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Improves early fine lines and dehydration wrinkles.
- Elasticity & Firmness: Enhances skin density and suppleness.
- Skin Tone Improvement: Brightens dullness for a refreshed look.
- Synergy with Other Boosters: Often combined with PN, PRP, or exosomes for long-term repair.
