Omokgyo Filler

Hello.

I’m Kim Jin-hyun, the chief doctor at YOU&I Clinic Mokdong Branch.

“Every time I smile, the wrinkles around my eyes

and nasolabial folds look so noticeable..”

Wrinkles are not simply lines that form when you smile; they are the result of a combination of factors such as skin depth, volume, and facial movements.

Reducing wrinkles and improving your appearance naturally can be a good alternative with filler.

In this post, I’ll organize everything from the causes of wrinkles to how filler works, as well as what you should know before and after the procedure.

Omokgyo Filler Why do wrinkles form?

Many people think of wrinkles as simply lines created when the skin folds, but in reality, there are more complex causes behind them.

First, as we age, the protein fibers called collagen and elastin in the skin gradually decrease.

These two help support the skin’s elasticity and density, and as they decrease, the skin becomes thinner and more easily folded.

When external factors such as ultraviolet rays, smoking, lack of sleep, and stress are added, aging can progress much faster.

In particular, ultraviolet rays are a major cause of collagen damage, so simply applying sunscreen carefully on a regular basis can help prevent wrinkles.

In addition, the fat layer under the skin gradually becomes thinner or shifts position.

As the cheeks or jawline area, which used to be full and firm, become hollow, nasolabial folds or lines below the corners of the mouth can appear more pronounced.

Ultimately, these complex changes undermine the three-dimensional contour of the entire face and make skin aging stand out even more.

Omokgyo How does filler work?

Filler is a procedure that replenishes volume in sunken areas to smooth the skin’s surface.

The substance most commonly used is hyaluronic acid, which is also a component naturally found in our bodies.

It has excellent water-attracting ability and plays an important role in maintaining skin hydration and elasticity.

Hyaluronic acid filler is naturally absorbed by the body over time, which is one of its safety features.

The procedure is performed by precisely injecting it into sunken areas under the skin or into deeper wrinkle areas.

It can help physically lift the skin and smooth out wrinkles.

Filler is especially commonly used for nasolabial folds, the glabella, around the eyes, and around the mouth.

These areas differ in skin thickness, muscle movement, and wrinkle depth, so precise adjustment is needed.

It is very important for the medical staff to adjust the filler’s viscosity, injection depth, and design according to the characteristics of each area.

Omokgyo Filler What should you know before and after the procedure?

Wrinkle filler is a relatively simple non-surgical procedure, but if it is performed without sufficient consultation beforehand, satisfaction may be lower.

That’s because it is necessary to diagnose why the wrinkle has formed and how it harmonizes with the surrounding area.

For example, even when nasolabial folds are prominent, the cause may be hollow cheeks or the movement of the muscles around the mouth.

In such cases, rather than simply injecting filler into the wrinkle area, the treatment should be designed with overall balance and a natural facial expression in mind.

Because the maintenance period and results can vary depending on the type of filler, its viscosity, and the treatment area, it is important to consult sufficiently with the medical staff and proceed with a customized plan.

After the procedure, bruising, swelling, or slight pain may occur, and at first the filler may feel palpable.

In most cases, these symptoms are temporary and naturally subside within a few days.

However, if the symptoms persist for a long time or the pain worsens, it is necessary to visit the clinic where you received the procedure immediately to have the condition checked.

Today, I talked about the information that people considering Omokgyo filler should know.

No one can avoid age-related changes, but how you respond to those changes can make a big difference in your appearance.

In particular, wrinkle filler procedures that restore facial volume and elasticity can be a good alternative for those who want to improve their appearance naturally without much burden.

However, because each person’s skin condition and the cause of their wrinkles are different, please remember that treatment must be approached in a customized way through sufficient consultation before the procedure.^^

I hope today’s post was helpful for your concerns about filler.

This was Kim Jin-hyun, chief doctor at YOU&I Clinic Mokdong Branch.
