Water Light Injection
Delivering moisture and firmness deep into the skin
Water light injection is a skin booster that puts hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid directly into the dermis. It replenishes moisture from within, aiming for skin that feels hydrated and firm.
Besides fine lines, dryness and dullness on the face, it can also treat wrinkles on the neck and the backs of the hands. At KOKO Plastic Surgery, we use a dedicated device called Derma Shine.
Who it is for
- Fine lines are increasing and skin aging bothers you
- Your face looks dull and dark
- Your skin is dry and makeup does not sit well
- You want to restore skin elasticity and make your skin look plumper
- You have an event coming up and want your face to look brighter
- Wrinkles on the backs of your hands make you look older
- Wrinkles on your neck make you look older
What is water light injection?
When hyaluronic acid, a basic component of skin, decreases, fine lines form more easily. In slim people, and in areas with a thin fat layer such as under the eyes, neck and hands, fine lines can deepen. This can make you look older.
Water light injection puts hyaluronic acid, which holds water well, and other ingredients directly into the dermis. It leaves the skin hydrated and supple.
Because moisture goes straight into the skin, dryness eases quickly. It aims for skin that does not feel tight after washing, even without moisturizer.
Water light injection at KOKO Plastic Surgery
We use a device called Derma Shine (Derma Shine Balance). Its 9 needles gently draw the skin up by suction while injecting a set amount into the skin layer. This keeps discomfort down and delivers an exact amount.
We care for fine lines, elasticity, hydration and brightening, even on deep neck wrinkles and wrinkled backs of the hands. You can also choose a combination to suit your goal.
What you can expect
Water light injection aims for these three things.
- Hydration: it delivers hydrating ingredients directly inside the skin to boost its moisture, aiming for supple skin.
- Glowing skin: it is said to encourage collagen and fibroblast production, aiming for clear, hydrated skin.
- Fewer wrinkles: it encourages antioxidant activity, aiming to improve fine lines.
How much you notice the effect varies from person to person.
Pin marks and EGF after treatment
Needle marks (pin marks) may appear after treatment. To help you get back to daily life sooner, we also pay attention to aftercare and recommend cosmetics containing EGF.
EGF (epidermal growth factor) is a protein found in the body. It is a natural regenerative factor that helps new cells form. Skin with more EGF is said to be younger, and less EGF is said to mean more advanced aging.
Replenishing EGF is said to support skin renewal and to help with wrinkles, skin tone and brightening.
Aftercare
Please take care of the following after treatment.
- Puffiness, bruising at the injection sites and mild itching settle on their own.
- Avoid scrubbing hard when you wash your face.
- For a while, keep the treated area away from extreme cold or heat.
- Avoid massaging the injected areas, hot saunas and strenuous exercise for about 7 days.
- If pain at an injection site lasts more than a day, or redness appears, please come to the clinic.
- We recommend a return visit after 2 weeks for touch-ups or further adjustment.
Risks and side effects
Results and recovery vary from person to person. The main risks and side effects are:
- Swelling and bruising after surgery or treatment
- Infection or inflammation
- Asymmetry, or a result that differs from what you pictured
- Scarring (when an incision is made)
- Numbness or changes in sensation (often temporary)
