"Lately, it felt like my facial elasticity
had dropped quite a bit, so I was worried.."
"At some point, when I look in the mirror,
my nasolabial folds bother me so much.."
Hello.
I’m Lim Jin-young,
chief director of Jamsil Pief Clinic.
You may have been looking for a dermatology clinic near Jamsil Saenae Station
because of these concerns.
I took the time to write this post
to help people like that.
I’ll introduce a procedure that can address
drooping skin and nasolabial folds together.

It’s called "Radiesse."
Radiesse is a type of collagen filler,
and it can immediately restore volume
to areas where elasticity has declined.
Over time, it also stimulates collagen production
in the cells.
In other words, you can think of it as a procedure
that gradually helps the skin become healthier
over a long period after a single treatment.
"How does it work?"
"Won’t it hurt too much?"
"Are there any side effects?"
If you’re wondering about these things,
please invest just 3 minutes.
I’ll explain everything one by one.

The mechanism and effects of Radiesse?
Actually..
First of all, Radiesse is a little different
from what we commonly call a "filler."
Strictly speaking, it is closer to
a procedure somewhere between a skin booster and a filler.
Its main ingredient is a particle called CaHA,
which is very similar to components
that also exist in our bones and teeth.
That’s why it has high biocompatibility,
and is known as a safe material that our bodies
can accept and absorb well without rejection.
When these particles are injected,
the first effect is to provide physical volume.
It can immediately create a volume effect
in nasolabial folds, the jawline, and hollow cheeks.

This part is similar to traditional hyaluronic acid fillers.
But from here on is what can truly be called
the real effect of Radiesse.
As time passes, the CaHA particles gradually break down,
and in that process, they stimulate fibroblasts
in the skin and induce collagen production.
In other words, it doesn’t just fill volume;
it acts as a stimulant that encourages the body
to produce its own collagen.
That’s why among people who received the procedure
at a dermatology clinic near Jamsil Saenae Station,
many felt that their condition actually improved
after 2 to 3 months.

Because of this characteristic, another major advantage
is that results can be maintained for a relatively long time
after just one treatment.
So, for whom is Radiesse especially effective?
- People whose nasolabial folds have deepened
and who feel the center of the face has sagged
- People who look tired because of hollow cheeks
and a weakened jawline

For these people, Radiesse can be a very satisfying option.
However, the better the procedure, the more important it is
to understand the mechanism accurately
and carefully judge whether it is right for you.
So please make your decision through a consultation
at a nearby dermatology clinic near Jamsil Saenae Station.

Pain and side effects?
The doctor will speak honestly.
"I’m worried it might hurt.
What if something goes wrong?"
When you hear that something will be injected with a needle,
it’s only natural to feel afraid.
So before actually deciding on the procedure,
the biggest concerns for many people are side effects and pain.
That’s why today I’ll speak honestly about this as a practicing doctor.
First, let’s talk about pain.
Since Radiesse is injected through the skin like a regular injection,
some stinging or pressure may be felt.

In particular, because it is injected relatively widely,
centered around sunken areas,
it may feel heavy and pressing depending on the sensitive area.
However, most pain can be sufficiently controlled
with local anesthesia or anesthetic cream.
Many people also say after the procedure
that it was not as painful as they expected.
Next, I’ll also explain the side effects.
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers,
Radiesse is a product with larger particles
and a more viscous texture.
So the following side effects may occur.

The first is swelling and bruising,
which usually subside naturally within 2 to 5 days.
The second is particle clumping,
that is, unevenness.
CaHA consists of tiny bead-like particles, and if it is injected
in excessive amounts into the wrong layer,
it may be felt externally or have more noticeable borders.
That’s why a careful approach is especially needed
in areas that move frequently, such as around the eyes and mouth.
Third, although it is very rare,
if the injection site or amount is not appropriate
or if the skin is thin,
there is a possibility that nodules may remain for a long time.
Therefore, a highly experienced specialist
at a dermatology clinic near Jamsil Saenae Station
needs to perform the procedure, right?

In the end, with a Radiesse procedure,
an accurate diagnosis and a balanced injection technique
that minimizes pain and side effects
are what matter most.
Closing remarks
Radiesse is a procedure with many advantages,
but it cannot be a universal solution for every concern.
It can certainly be effective for problems such as
nasolabial folds, hollow cheeks, and a weakened jawline,
but please remember that it is not necessarily
the right answer for everyone.

For example,
if you have thin and sensitive skin, Rejuran,
which has strengths in regeneration and reducing inflammation,
may be a better fit.
If aging has progressed in a more complex way,
Exosome, which promotes overall cellular regeneration
of the skin, may be more suitable.
For dry and dull skin, Juvelook,
which is excellent for hydration, radiance,
and improving skin texture, is a good option.
When the main concerns are reduced elasticity
and facial sagging, laser lifting treatments
such as Shurink and Ulthera are effective.
Most importantly, you need to know exactly
what condition your skin is in right now
and which procedure is the right one for you.

So I recommend taking a slow, careful look
through a dermatology clinic near Jamsil Saenae Station.
Thank you.
