Oksu-dong Dermatology: Comparing Filler vs. Collagen Booster Methods for Restoring Facial Volume

Filler & Collagen Booster

Hello, this is Raon Dermatology in Oksu-dong!

When looking at a face, the first thing that stands out may be the texture and tone of the skin, but in reality, volume greatly influences how a person looks. A face that looks youthful and lively always has natural curves and balance! On the other hand, sunken cheeks or under-eye hollows can easily make someone look tired and older. This is not something that can be dismissed as merely a cosmetic issue; it is also a factor that affects confidence and social image. That is why many people are interested in managing facial volume for a youthful impression.

The Importance of Facial Volume

As mentioned, volume is a key factor that determines the harmony and proportions of the entire face. In particular, when the cheeks sink in or the jawline becomes less defined, nasolabial folds can appear more pronounced, and the face may look much more tired than it actually is. Facial aging appears as a result of a combination of bone structure, muscle movement, changes in fat position, and reduced skin elasticity, and one of the first changes to appear is volume loss!

To improve these changes, simply caring for the skin’s surface has its limitations. A method is needed to fill in hollow areas and help maintain the result over time. That is why volume procedures such as fillers and collagen boosters are drawing attention as important options:) Today, we’ll share more detailed information about them.

• A factor that affects facial impression

• More noticeable nasolabial folds / sagging jawline

• Sunken cheeks / under-eye hollows / a tired, older-looking appearance

The Importance of Facial Volume

Belotero Filler

First, Belotero filler is a hyaluronic acid filler developed by the German company MERZ, and its features are strong cohesion and flexibility that blend naturally with the skin. Above all, it is divided into four lineup options depending on the area and purpose, making it possible to perform customized treatments for areas of concern such as forehead wrinkles, fine lines around the eyes, nasolabial folds, and sunken cheeks. Thanks to this, it is especially suitable when delicate correction is needed or when a natural transition is important.

In addition, based on patented technology, it spreads evenly within the skin, resulting in fewer uneven borders and less awkwardness even with facial expressions. While it excels at instantly adding volume and offers relatively high safety and reproducibility, it is widely chosen across various age groups. It can be a very useful option for those who want clear results in a short period of time:)

• Natural results / immediate volume replenishment

• Excellent viscoelasticity / less foreign-body sensation / long duration

Juvelook & Juvelook Volume

Juvelook is a collagen booster that combines PDLLA and hyaluronic acid. Immediately after the procedure, the HA ingredient quickly replenishes moisture and elasticity, helping the skin look hydrated and lively. After that, the PDLLA particles remain in the skin and stimulate collagen production, gradually filling in sunken areas and providing long-term volume improvement.

In particular, Juvelook Volume has larger particles and enhanced collagen-producing ability, making it suitable for deeper hollow areas or areas with greater volume loss. While general fillers focus on immediate volume replenishment, Juvelook is distinguished by the fact that changes can be enjoyed naturally over time. If you want both skin quality improvement and volume recovery, Juvelook can be a good choice.

Oligidia Mayo

Third, Oligidia Mayo is a collagen booster that uses PLLA ingredients. PLLA is gradually broken down in the body and stimulates cells within the skin to induce new collagen production. During that process, sunken areas are gradually filled in and skin elasticity is restored! Its feature is that improvement occurs naturally over time rather than through an immediate change like a filler.

Another advantage is the duration. Oligidia Mayo shows changes over several months after the procedure, making it suitable for those who feel burdened by rapid changes. At the same time, because its effects last for more than a year, it may be a good option for those who have difficulty making time frequently! It can also effectively improve overall facial volume loss or cases where the skin appears thin.

• Increased facial volume / natural improvement

• Skin elasticity / skin texture improvement / long-lasting effect

Filler VS Collagen Booster

Although the methods for restoring facial volume may seem similar, there are differences in how they work. Belotero is a hyaluronic acid filler, so changes appear clearly immediately after the procedure, and it has the advantage of being able to selectively correct only the needed areas. For this reason, it is well suited for those who want immediate results.

Juvelook and Oligidia Mayo are collagen boosters that create collagen within the skin over time. Juvelook helps replenish moisture and regenerate collagen at the same time, so both skin quality improvement and volume recovery can be expected, while Oligidia Mayo is characterized by a gradual onset of effects but long-lasting results. As such, there are clear differences between fillers and collagen boosters. Therefore, we ask that you understand the characteristics of each well and choose according to the effect and duration you want.
