Hongdae Sculptra: If You’re Concerned About Hollow Cheeks

People looking into Sculptra in Hongdae have probably heard comments like these.

"Why do you look so tired these days? Your cheeks look really hollow."

"Have you been busy with work lately? Why do you look so haggard?"

Yes, I have also heard comments like these when work was difficult or I felt unusually tired.

But when you hear something like that, it bothers you more than you might expect, doesn’t it?

When someone tells you that your cheeks look hollow, you may find yourself repeatedly checking both sides of your face in the mirror and thinking:

"Are my cheeks really hollow? Do I look that gaunt?"

"I have been tired lately, but has my skin really lost that much volume?"

You end up continuing to worry about it.

For people with more prominent cheekbones, hearing comments like these can often be even more stressful.

Their cheeks may already appear sunken because of their cheekbones, and if they hear such remarks when they are tired, it is difficult not to feel stressed.

The treatment I would like to discuss today for people in this situation is Sculptra.

It is a treatment I often recommend to people whose facial volume has decreased due to fatigue and to those who have hollow cheeks because of their natural facial shape.

I will explain everything that may help ease the skin concerns of those who have searched for Sculptra in Hongdae.

Hello. I am Dr. Wonjin Cho, director of Chai Clinic.

Over the past nine years in Hongdae, I have shared the skin concerns of many people, and I have also heard quite a few worries about hollow cheeks.

Hollow cheeks directly affect the shape of the face, making them one of the factors that can make a person look older.

Like the eyebrow-area wrinkles I discussed previously when introducing thread lifting, the cheeks are also an area that needs consistent attention for a more youthful appearance.

For those concerned about hollow cheeks, I would like to explain Sculptra.

First, Sculptra does belong to the category of fillers.

People who do not want a treatment that immediately changes their facial shape, dislike treatments that are highly noticeable, or pursue their own natural beauty may hesitate at the idea.

However, Sculptra is somewhat different.

Although Sculptra was developed to increase volume, it does not increase skin volume immediately upon injection like a filler does.

It is a stimulator that stimulates the skin so that volume can increase naturally within the skin.

Then how does it provide this stimulation?

I will explain the treatment principle to those looking into Sculptra in Hongdae.

Sculptra is a treatment in which a powder containing the polymer ingredient PLLA is mixed with distilled water and injected into the area where volume is desired.

The powder stimulates the collagen in the subcutaneous or dermal layer to increase.

Unlike fillers, it is therefore more suited to creating natural-looking volume, isn’t it?

Sculptra’s advantages are quite clear.

First, there is no foreign-body sensation.

Because the treatment improves the recipient’s own collagen and skin condition, it does not create a foreign-body sensation.

Rather than immediately adding volume with a filler, it promotes the production of the skin’s collagen and improves its condition.

This can help bring out a more “natural beauty,” couldn’t it?

Second, the results last for a long time.

The duration is generally about two years. Even after more than two years, satisfaction has been reported at 80%, indicating that the satisfaction can remain high for a long time.

Third, it can be used over a wide area.

Of course, like all treatments, Sculptra also has disadvantages.

First is the cost.

Just as the level of satisfaction and duration are considerable, the cost is also relatively high.

Therefore, if the area requiring increased volume is large and cost is a consideration, a filler may be more suitable in some cases.

Of course, this depends on each individual’s characteristics, so it is best to discuss it at a dermatology clinic that provides a detailed consultation process, isn’t it?

Second, it is difficult to change the facial shape immediately.

As mentioned earlier, although Sculptra is classified as a filler, it does not change the facial shape immediately like a filler does.

Rather than being a product with the immediate facial-shaping characteristics of a filler, it should be viewed as a skin booster,

that is, a product that helps improve the skin’s own condition.

Therefore, it may not be suitable for people who want to change their facial shape right away.

It generally takes about four weeks for the Sculptra ingredients to improve the skin’s condition.

You need to wait for the volume to gradually build after the treatment.

For people with an important appointment coming up soon, a filler may be more appropriate than Sculptra.

Sculptra may be suitable when you want to improve your long-term skin condition, while a filler may be preferable when you need a treatment with an immediately noticeable result, wouldn’t you agree?

Third, nodules may occasionally form.

Because Sculptra is a powder, if it does not become established within the skin, it may clump together or form a hard, swollen nodule.

The likelihood of this side effect is generally about 17%.

Some papers report that these nodules disappear naturally over time. However, nodules that are too large or that form in thin skin may sometimes need to be surgically removed.

Those looking into Sculptra in Hongdae should also carefully consider these points.

For this reason, preparation for Sculptra treatment is very important.

To reduce the side effects mentioned above, it is necessary to find an appropriate treatment setting and inject the product into the correct layer.

Placing it in the dermal or subcutaneous layer mentioned earlier is particularly important, isn’t it?

Also, to promote natural collagen production, it is generally best to receive about three treatments at one-month intervals.

Sculptra is generally recommended for the temples, lateral cheekbones, anterior cheeks, and front cheekbones.

This is because areas with sufficient subcutaneous fat and a relatively wide surface area tend to provide greater satisfaction.

As I mentioned at the beginning, if you feel stressed because of hollowness around your temples or cheekbones, it may be worth looking into Sculptra.

Today, I introduced Sculptra.

If stress has worsened your skin condition and made your face look gaunt, before looking into a dermatology clinic, first check whether you are getting enough sleep and whether you are consuming a balanced range of nutrients.

If your hollow cheeks do not improve despite this, then consider looking into a dermatology clinic.

I will conclude in the hope that this information is helpful to those looking into Sculptra in Hongdae.

This has been Chai Clinic, where we customize your natural beauty. Thank you.
