WHAT IS AQUA GLO?

Aqua Glo is an intradermal deposition of a sterile injectable mixture consisting of Restylane® Skinboosters™ Vital Light and Dysport® neuromodulator. Hyaluronic acid in Restylane® Skinboosters™ is a substance that is naturally produced by the human body and can lock in moisture, giving the skin a radiant, youthful appearance when deposited into the skin in high concentrations. The internal permeation of the hyaluronic acid into the dermis layer of the skin ensures that the skin is hydrated and replenished from deep within. Other components of Aqua Glo stimulate collagen production and calm the skin by reducing inflammation. The hydrating and calming properties make this treatment particularly suitable for pampering the skin after sun exposure in the summer.
