Hongdae Sculptra Journey of Glow Pop-up: Sculptra’s New Possibilities

To learn about the latest skin trends and treatment techniques, I attended Galderma Korea’s “Journey of Glow” campaign, held in the Seoul COEX area from June 20 to 22.

Over the past nine years working in skin care in Hongdae, I have met a wide variety of patients, and I have often recommended Sculptra to those concerned about hollow cheeks and wrinkles. Through this event, I was able to update myself on the latest Sculptra data and procedural know-how, which was very helpful.

�

“Doctor, will Sculptra really look natural?”

“How is it different from filler?”

�

It was an opportunity to get clearer answers to questions patients ask frequently. This event, the fourth held as part of Galderma’s Asia-Pacific campaign, also reflected the latest trends in the Sculptra industry. Today, I would like to share the latest Sculptra data for those looking into Hongdae Sculptra.

Profile

Hello, I am Director Jo Won-jin of Chai Clinic.

�

Having run a dermatology clinic in Hongdae for nine years and performed a wide range of Sculptra treatments, this campaign allowed me to view Sculptra from a different perspective.

They said that 3,500 people visited the pop-up store at COEX Parnas Mall. As a medical professional, I could truly feel how high public interest in Sculptra is.

�

In the exhibition space, which was composed of the Vitalite Zone and the Sculptra Zone, the mechanism of action of the PLLA ingredient was well explained visually. There were many useful materials that can be used when explaining it to patients.

�

In particular, the interactive elements such as the 360-degree camera photo zone and the skin concerns kiosk were impressive.

Above all, the greatest takeaway was the academic insight gained from the “Journey of Glow NIGHT” symposium, which was attended by over 2,000 aesthetic medical professionals.

�

Dr. Luiz Avelar, who came from Brazil, gave a truly impressive presentation. I was able to review the latest clinical data on how Sculptra works on the skin’s three layers. In particular, the section on the collagen production mechanism was a chance to revisit more evidence-based information when explaining it to my patients.

�

In Director Hong Ki-woong’s lecture, “Patient-Specific Treatment Strategies,” at Samskin Plastic Surgery Clinic, the importance of accurately understanding each patient’s skin condition and expectations was emphasized. This is also something I always stress to those looking into Hongdae Sculptra.

Sculptra Satisfaction

As a medical professional, I was able to confirm Sculptra’s advantages once again.

�

The most essential aspect is, of course, “natural volume enhancement.” Unlike ordinary fillers, the PLLA polymer ingredient works by inducing the patient’s own collagen proliferation in the subcutaneous layer or dermal layer, so the sense of a foreign body is minimal, which is its biggest advantage.

�

Based on my nine years of treatment experience, it is especially highly satisfying for patients who are stressed by hollowing in the temples or cheekbone area. Results are good when applied to a wide area with sufficient subcutaneous fat layer, and the long maintenance period of about two years is also something patients appreciate.

�

However, there is something I must always explain to patients from a medical professional’s standpoint.

�

That is, it is difficult to expect immediate changes. It usually takes about four weeks, and the standard protocol is to perform the treatment about three times at one-month intervals. For those looking into Hongdae Sculptra, it would be helpful to be sure to understand this schedule.

Sculptra Side Effects

From clinical experience, there are definitely aspects that require caution.

�

The possibility of nodule formation has been reported at around 17%, though this can vary depending on the practitioner’s skill and the patient’s individual characteristics. This is a treatment that requires an accurate understanding of anatomical structures and proper adjustment of the injection depth.

�

As emphasized at this symposium, selecting the appropriate area and choosing the correct treatment layer are above all important in reducing side effects. In particular, it is safer to avoid areas with thin skin or a high concentration of blood vessels. So if you searched for Hongdae Sculptra, a detailed skin analysis should come first.

When recommending Sculptra to patients, I always establish a treatment plan through sufficient consultation that comprehensively considers the individual’s skin condition, lifestyle, and expectations. In particular, I make it clear that this treatment is more suitable for those who want long-term improvement in skin condition rather than those who want immediate changes.

�

Based on the possibilities and limitations of Sculptra that I confirmed through the Journey of Glow campaign, I once again felt that it is our responsibility as medical professionals to create a safer and more satisfying treatment environment. From the perspective of someone performing various skin care treatments in Hongdae, it was a very meaningful event.

�

I hope this information is helpful to those considering Hongdae Sculptra, and I will wrap up here.

This has been Chai Clinic, customizing your beauty. Thank you.
