It puts hyaluronic acid into the dermis rather than on top of it, so results depend on why your skin is dry. Active acne means treating that first.

Water Glow Injection in Hongdae,
Does It Really Work?

Hello,
I'm Dr. Wi Young-jin at Beautystone Clinic.
"My skin feels dull and dehydrated lately.
My makeup won't even sit properly."
This is something I hear
all the time in consultations.
Especially during seasonal changes
or after the mid-30s,
many people notice
a real shift in their skin texture.
Water Glow Injection
targets that dryness
from deep within the skin.
Based on my clinical experience,
here's what you need to know —
straight to the point.
What's Actually in a Water Glow Injection?

Water Glow Injection delivers
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) directly
into the dermis layer.
HA is naturally found in the body,
but decreases as we age.
This treatment replenishes that loss,
restoring the skin's
moisture environment from within.
Regular moisturizers work on the surface.
This procedure creates
a moisture-holding structure
inside the dermis itself.
That's why the results feel
noticeably different
from topical products.
Total treatment time is around 40–50 minutes including numbing cream.
The actual injection takes about 20 minutes.
Pain varies by individual,
but after sufficient numbing,
most describe it as a mild sting.
Who Gets the Best Results?
In my clinical experience,
these are the cases

with the highest satisfaction.
① Dry, dull skin
With moisture replenished directly inside the skin,
many patients notice
an immediate glow.
② Rough texture & visible pores
HA builds subtle volume from within,
making the skin look
smoother and more refined.
③ Makeup that lifts or slides off
Once the moisture layer stabilizes,
foundation tends to
adhere much better.
On the other hand, active acne
or a significantly compromised skin barrier
means prior treatment
comes first.
This is always confirmed
during the consultation
before proceeding.
Post-Treatment Care & Choosing a Clinic
the right product for your skin.
after your treatment.

Cleanse gently on the day of the procedure —
no harsh rubbing.
Avoid saunas and intense exercise
for 2–3 days.Slight bumpiness at injection sites is normal
and typically resolves within 3–5 days.Bruising may occur depending on the individual,
and usually fades within 1–2 weeks.
Duration varies by product,
but typically lasts 1–3 months.
Results may differ depending on
your skin condition and lifestyle.
When choosing a clinic,
check which Hyaluronic Acid products
they use.
Even with the same treatment,
injection depth, volume, and technique
can all affect your results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. How much does it cost?
A. Pricing depends on the Hyaluronic Acid product used
and the treatment area.
We'll provide exact details during your consultation —
feel free to reach out anytime.
Q2. Can I see results after just one session?
A. Yes — even a single session can improve
hydration and radiance.
For better skin texture and longer-lasting results,
we recommend 2–3 initial sessions
followed by maintenance treatments.
Average duration is 4–6 months.
Q3. How is this different from filler?
A. Fillers are designed to add volume to specific areas,
while Water Glow injections
target overall hydration, radiance, and skin texture.
They're also injected at different depths —
fillers go deeper,
while Water Glow is delivered into the superficial dermis.
If your skin feels dry and dull,
improving the skin's internal environment
may work faster than surface-level treatments.
