SNU Entrance Dermatology: Juvéderm Voluma? Filler? A Doctor Explains the Differences.

"Lately, fillers have become so

diverse that choosing one

is really confusing.."

"When I look it up, all I see are posts

praising them, but what on earth is good???"

Hello, everyone. Nice to see you again today.

I’m Bang Chan-il, the head director.

As we get older, we start wanting to

naturally restore the areas that have become hollow.

But these days, with existing options like

Juvelook Volume, HA, and many new ones,

I imagine you’ve been wondering

which one is better and which one to choose.

In short,

there is no clear winner between the two.

The key is to clearly understand

each one’s pros and cons

and find the method that suits you.

When you try to search for information,

I think it’s hard to find the key points

among exaggerated advertising posts online.

Today, I came to explain these two topics.

1. The differences between HA fillers and Juvelook

2. Things to watch out for when getting Juvelook Volume

If you read this article to the end,

I think you’ll be able to feel the anti-aging

results you want.

Then let’s get started right away. What exactly is right for me?

I think many of you are curious about this.

The question of "what is right for me?"

can actually be answered to some extent

by considering the pros and cons.

(Getting an accurate diagnosis is the smart choice.)

First, to briefly explain the advantages,

both options allow you to return to daily life immediately after the procedure.

Procedures such as lifting, buccal fat removal, and fat grafting

can cause significant swelling or bruising,

and because anesthesia is needed,

there may be a need for several days off

to recover.

On the other hand, fillers and Juvelook

still allow you to eat and talk after the procedure,

and with only a dedicated patch applied,

you can even shower.

Therefore,

for those who want a quick recovery

after treatment,

these are suitable options.

So, what is the difference between the two?

Immediate change

Fillers are gel-like and come together in a lump,

so they create volume immediately

and define the contours, making the change noticeable.

In contrast, Juvelook Volume is in liquid form,

so it does not directly support the deficient area.

It takes about 3 to 6 months,

and during this period, dermal collagen is formed.

However, because your own skin regenerates

and the volume gradually fills in,

you can experience a more natural change.

Correction

HA fillers are made of hyaluronic acid,

and they can be dissolved with a drug called hyaluronidase.

So if it does not turn out the way you want,

some correction is possible,

but it is difficult to remove completely,

which may not be suitable for those who dislike that.

On the other hand, Juvelook Volume is in liquid form,

and after being absorbed, it only induces dermal collagen production

before disappearing.

Because it is difficult to make separate corrections

with the liquid form, this can be seen as a drawback,

and some people worry about this.

However, if you receive the proper amount of treatment

from an experienced specialist,

there are almost no cases of dissatisfaction,

so there is no need to worry too much.

To summarize,

I think it’s best to think of it this way.

To emphasize once more,

each patient’s skin condition, elasticity,

and degree of sagging are all different,

so to understand them accurately,

it’s important to get a detailed diagnosis

from a doctor, right? One thing you must check before treatment Before I finish this article,

there is exactly one cautionary point

I want to emphasize.

If, after diagnosis, you decide on Juvelook,

it is important to check the hydration method.

The reason is that it affects the risk of a "nodule" side effect.

Juvelook is used by mixing a powdered medication

with saline.

If the proper hydration process

(mixing the liquid and powder)

is not carried out,

the medication may clump after injection.

If you think of what happens when you mix roasted grain powder with milk,

it will be easy to understand.

Because the results can vary greatly depending on the doctor’s technique,

it is important to check whether they hydrate individually

and whether they have a lot of know-how.

That is why the method I use

is to carry out individual hydration

according to the patient’s schedule.

Based on my own know-how,

I adjust the mixing time and room-temperature holding time

and proceed with hydration accordingly.

I manage this part very carefully.

Please be sure to find a doctor

who can provide you with safe beauty

before making your decision.

So far, I’ve explained the things you may have been curious about

regarding Juvelook Volume at Seoul National University Entrance Dermatology.

As a specialist, I use HA and collagen

(Juvelook Volume, Ellansé),

but I’m not trying to say one is better than the other.

I just hope this can help patients make choices

with accurate information

and achieve the anti-aging results they want.
