Quick answer

Aqua Shine is a hyaluronic acid skin booster enriched with vitamins and peptides, injected into the superficial skin to improve hydration, brightness, texture and fine lines. A session takes about 15–20 minutes with topical numbing, and most people return to daily activities immediately; light redness or small bumps fade quickly. Hydration improves within 48 hours and glow over 1–2 weeks; a course of 3 sessions 3–4 weeks apart is typical, with maintenance every 3–6 months.
