Also known as: glass skin injection, water glow injection, hydro filler
A hydro booster places hyaluronic acid shallowly and densely through the skin to relieve dehydration and add glow — widely known abroad as a “glass skin” treatment. It shows quickly but lasts less long than other boosters, so it’s often repeated.
