Treatment Overview
Hydro Injection Therapy (also called Hydro Injections or Hydro Boosters) is a Korean skin booster treatment that uses a fine meso-gun to deliver high concentrations of hyaluronic acid (HA) directly into the dermis. This therapy focuses on intensive hydration, collagen stimulation, and plumping, giving skin a smoother, firmer, and more radiant look.
Unlike topical hydrating serums, Hydro Injection Therapy delivers HA deep into the skin layers, where it works to restore volume, improve elasticity, and enhance the skin barrier.
It belongs to the Skin Booster Combination Therapy family (Aqua Shine, Derma Shine, BeBe Glow, Chanel Injection, Exosome Therapy):
- Hydro Injection Therapy: Best for hydration + collagen support + plumpness.
- Derma Shine: Best for glass skin hydration + glow.
- Aqua Shine: Best for collagen stimulation + firming.
- BeBe Glow: Best for tone correction + semi-permanent glow.
- Chanel Injection: Best for multi-nutrient skin rejuvenation.
- Exosome Therapy: Best for cellular regeneration + scar repair.
Purpose & Benefits
- Deep Hydration: High-dose HA replenishes water loss, plumping skin.

- Radiance & Glow: Hydration brightens skin and smooths texture.
