Treatment Overview
Golden Ratio Fillers are an advanced dermal filler approach that focuses not only on anti-aging but also on achieving facial harmony and balance based on the golden ratio (1:1.618), a mathematical proportion often associated with aesthetic beauty. Instead of simply filling wrinkles or hollows, this treatment involves strategic filler placement in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, chin, temples, lips, and nose bridge to restore symmetry and enhance natural proportions.
In Korea, Golden Ratio Filler treatments are a popular option for patients who want refined elegance, balanced contours, and youthful rejuvenation without surgery. Korean dermatologists and plastic surgeons are globally recognized for their artistic injection techniques, combining science and aesthetics to achieve a natural, harmonious look.
