Hydration Injections (Restylane Vital) — How Are They Different from Water Glow Injections?
We water our plants every day, but often neglect to properly hydrate our own skin. Hydration injections are a treatment that injects hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers into the dermis to support dermal hydration.
Kim Jongseo Plastic Surgery in Apgujeong primarily uses Restylane Vital, a stabilized hyaluronic acid filler, for dermal hydration. This article covers frequently asked questions about hydration injections.
Why Does Kim Jongseo Plastic Surgery Use Restylane Vital for Hydration Injections?
Restylane Vital is a stabilized formulation that lasts a long time, spreads evenly, produces fewer lumps, retains water effectively, and promotes collagen synthesis. According to the manufacturer, it is suitable for photoaged skin and is designed to be injected into the dermis in small amounts at close intervals. Vital contains 20mg of small-particle hyaluronic acid per cc.
How Often Should Hydration Injections Be Received?
The manufacturer recommends three sessions, one every four weeks. However, since the effects of Vital hydration injections can last for an extended period, Kim Jongseo Plastic Surgery advises that receiving the injection once every six months to a year may be sufficient. The duration and degree of effect vary by individual.
What's the Difference Between Hydration Injections and Water Glow Injections?
Hydration injections are also known as "water glow injections" (mulgwang injections), and both fall under the same category of treatment in that hyaluronic acid is injected into the dermis to support skin hydration. Kim Jongseo Plastic Surgery's water glow injection is also related to a patent (No. 10-1790405); further background is available in The Story Behind the Water Glow Injection Patent.
Can Hydration Injections Be Combined with Other Treatments?
Past cases on the previous website include combinations with nose/chin-tip filler and cheekbone/forehead/chin filler treatments. Whether treatments are combined depends on skin condition and is determined through consultation. If you're interested in home care after treatment, you may also want to look into the Re2O Collagen Booster.
