Hydrating Glow Injection (Mulgwang)

HA Skin Booster (Hydrating Injection)

Our signature skin booster: tiny amounts of hyaluronic acid (HA) are injected into the dermis to replenish moisture and give skin a dewy, glass-like glow.

SessionsEven one session gives your skin a noticeable, glowing recovery boost. For regular care, every 1–2 months

MaintenanceRecovery effect lasts 1–2 months, with maintenance and preventive benefits as well

What is it?

Hyaluronic acid draws in hundreds of times its own weight in water. Injected in tiny amounts into the dermis, it increases how much moisture your skin holds. As skin fills with moisture, fine lines soften and the surface takes on a glow. With repeat sessions, your skin's hydration improves overall, which also helps texture and firmness.

Who it's for

  • Dry skin, inner tightness, dull or rough skin
  • Fine lines (especially dryness lines around the eyes and cheeks)
  • Dullness, lack of radiance, makeup that won't sit smoothly
  • Hydration and glow improve from right after treatment over the following weeks
