Treatment Overview
Dermal Fillers are one of the most widely performed anti-aging treatments in Korean dermatology clinics for wrinkles, fine lines, and facial volume restoration. Using hyaluronic acid (HA)-based fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Yvoire, Teosyal) or collagen-stimulating fillers (Sculptra, Radiesse), they smooth wrinkles, plump hollow areas, and restore youthful contours.
Unlike Botox, which relaxes facial muscles, fillers directly replace lost volume and fill creases, making them especially effective for nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and deep wrinkles. Korea is known for its natural and precise filler techniques that enhance facial harmony without an “overdone” look.
It belongs to the Skin Concerns: Wrinkles & Fine Lines family (Baby Botox, Chanel Injection, Volite, Rejuran Healer, Juvelook):
- Dermal Fillers: Best for deep wrinkle correction + volume restoration.
- Baby Botox: Best for expression wrinkles (forehead, crow’s feet).
- Chanel Injection: Best for hydration + nutrient repair.
- Volite HA Booster: Best for hydration + fine lines.
- Rejuran Healer: Best for dermal repair + elasticity.
Purpose & Benefits
- Wrinkle & Fine Line Correction: Fills static lines (nasolabial folds, marionette lines).
- Volume Restoration: Restores lost volume in cheeks, temples, and under-eyes.
- Skin Smoothing: Reduces creases and improves overall texture.
