SEHYUN ANSWER

With Botox and filler,
isn't more always better?

Sehyun's answer is NO

Drawing on Dr. Yoo Hyun-seok's 20 years of expertise, Sehyun
carefully develops a treatment plan tailored to you,
then performs Botox and filler treatments with genuine products in the correct dosage.

Some people mistakenly believe that with minimally invasive cosmetic procedures such as filler,
injecting more will always work better.
But too much is as bad as too little; injecting more does not mean a better result.

Botox has a set standard dosage,
while for filler the amount injected varies from person to person
depending on the contours of the face and the volume desired.

DR. YOO TECHNIC

What Is Filler?

Filler treatment uses materials such as hyaluronic acid that are similar to substances found in the body. Injecting them into areas that need volume can produce an immediate improvement.

Filler started as a way to fill deep wrinkles, and is now widely used to raise a low nasal bridge, add lip volume, create fullness just below the lower lashes, correct a retruded chin and lift the corners of the mouth.

It is also effective for correcting deep wrinkles that are hard to improve with Botox, and Restylane Vital, which delivers moisture directly to the dermis, is also used for a dewy, glowing complexion.

CASE

Retruded Chin Correction: Filler, Fat Grafting

Biocompatible filler, or fat harvested from your own thigh, is injected to fill in
missing volume at the tip of the chin.
With filler, the procedure is short, about 15 minutes, and the surgeon molds it by hand
for fine adjustments, so you can expect a refined, V-shaped jawline.

DURATION

필러 유지기간과 다시 맞는 시기

필러는 영구적인 시술이 아니어서 시간이 지나면 체내에 흡수되거나 분해되며 효과가 줄어듭니다. 필러 유지기간은 사용한 필러의 성분, 시술 부위, 개인의 신진대사에 따라 달라집니다.

코나 이마처럼 움직임이 적은 부위는 비교적 오래 유지되고, 입술이나 턱 끝처럼 움직임이 많은 부위는 더 빨리 분해될 수 있습니다. 신진대사가 빠르거나 운동을 자주 하는 분은 같은 필러라도 유지기간이 짧아질 수 있습니다.

예상보다 빨리 흡수됐다고 느끼면 시술 후 2~3개월 안에 리터치로 볼륨을 조절하기도 합니다. 다만 너무 잦은 보충은 부자연스러운 결과로 이어질 수 있어, 피부 상태와 볼륨 변화를 확인한 뒤 다음 시술 시점을 정합니다.

SIDE EFFECTS

필러 부작용,
시술 전에 알아두실 것

필러 부작용으로는 시술 뒤 붓기와 멍, 가벼운 통증 같은 흔한 반응과, 아직 자리 잡지 않은 필러가 눌리거나 퍼져 모양이 비대칭이 되는 경우, 너무 자주 또는 많이 넣어 멍울이 생기거나 볼륨이 부자연스러워지는 경우가 있습니다.
세현은 얼굴의 굴곡과 필요한 볼륨을 보고 주입량을 정하며 정량 시술을 원칙으로 합니다. 부작용의 발생 여부와 정도에는 개인차가 있습니다.

붓기와 멍, 가벼운 통증

주입한 직후의 붓기나 가벼운 통증은 흔히 나타나는 반응입니다. 시술 부위의 미세한 출혈이 멍으로 번질 수 있고, 체온과 혈류를 올리는 운동, 사우나, 찜질방, 음주는 붓기와 멍을 더 심하게 만들 수 있어 시술 뒤 며칠은 피합니다.

모양 변형과 비대칭

필러는 주입한 자리에 안정되기까지 시간이 필요합니다. 그 전에 시술 부위를 자주 만지거나 마사지하고 땀을 닦으며 누르면 필러가 눌리거나 퍼져 비대칭이 될 수 있습니다. 이마, 눈 밑, 코처럼 좁고 예민한 부위는 더 조심합니다.

멍울과 부자연스러운 볼륨

필러가 다 분해되지 않은 상태에서 짧은 간격으로 반복해 넣거나 한 번에 많이 넣으면 필러가 겹겹이 쌓여 멍울이 생기거나 피부가 늘어나 부자연스러워질 수 있습니다. 많이 넣는다고 결과가 좋아지는 것이 아니므로 필요한 양만 넣고 적절한 주기를 지킵니다.

트러블과 염증 반응

운동복이나 수건이 시술 부위를 반복해 문지르면 트러블이 생길 수 있습니다. 음주는 혈관을 넓혀 출혈과 멍, 염증 반응을 심하게 만들 수 있어 시술 당일과 이후 며칠은 삼갑니다.

시술 뒤 운동은 언제부터

요가나 필라테스처럼 얼굴에 자극이 적은 운동은 최소 24시간이 지난 뒤 가볍게 시작하고, 웨이트 트레이닝이나 유산소 운동처럼 혈압을 빠르게 올리는 운동은 48시간 이상, 경우에 따라 3~5일 쉽니다. 시술 부위와 필러 종류에 따라 달라지므로 시술 후 안내에 따릅니다.

MATERIALS

Sculptra

What Is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a collagen stimulator made of PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid): a skin regeneration treatment that improves wrinkles and restores facial volume and elasticity, with results lasting about 2 years.

Unlike filler, which gives immediate volume, Sculptra promotes the formation of cells responsible for skin volume and elasticity, so skin regeneration begins gradually over 6–12 months as volume builds and wrinkles improve.

While filler lasts up to about 1 year and 6 months, Sculptra given in about 3–4 sessions at 4–6 week intervals maintains wrinkle improvement for about 2 years on average.

What Is PLLA?

PLLA, the main ingredient of Sculptra, stands for POLY-L-LACTIC ACID, a plant-derived substance that is naturally absorbed by the body.

It has been used for more than 30 years as a suture material and wound dressing, and is a safe product approved in Europe in 1999 as a wrinkle filler.

PROCEDURE

How Sculptra Works

  1. STEP 01

    Sunken, wrinkled skin

  2. STEP 02

    About 1 week after Sculptra is injected into the dermis, PLLA and water fill the missing volume in the dermis and wrinkles improve temporarily.

  3. STEP 03

    Within a few days the water is absorbed by the body, the skin loses volume and the wrinkles appear to return to their original state.

  4. STEP 04

    As PLLA breaks down in the body, it stimulates collagen production and volume gradually builds up from the dermis.

  5. STEP 05

    From about 4–6 weeks after treatment, wrinkles become noticeably less visible and volume improves. Skin tone also improves, giving the skin a refreshed appearance.

Q&A

Q.When is nasolabial fold filler used?
A.

It is used to add volume to the nasolabial folds and soften the lines. The amount injected depends on the contours of your face and the volume needed, and since overinjection can lead to an unnatural shape, we plan it through consultation.

Q.What affects the price of nasolabial fold filler?
A.

Because the amount of filler needed varies with the contours of your face and the volume to be filled, the cost can also vary. We let you know the cost after assessing your nasolabial area in consultation, and you can inquire on the Cost Consultation page of the Consultation & Booking menu.

Q.How long does nasolabial fold filler last?
A.

Filler is absorbed or broken down by the body over time, and how long it lasts depends on the ingredients, the treatment area and your metabolism. Because this varies from person to person, the timing of a touch-up for the nasolabial area is decided in consultation after checking your skin condition and volume changes.

Q.How do I get to your clinic by subway for a filler consultation in Gangnam or Apgujeong?
