Hello.
I am Dr. Hyuk-chan Cho, Director of Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu Branch.
"I want to restore volume, but I don't want fillers."
"Is there a way to address a long mid-face?"
When looking in the mirror, you notice a loss of volume,
but some feel hesitant about getting fillers.
This is often due to concerns about the product hardening or looking unnatural,
or the worry that it is difficult to reverse once injected.
In fact, those concerns are not entirely unfounded.
Standard fillers work by fixing volume in a specific location,
so if the design is flawed, it can lead to unnatural results.
This is where Uijeongbu Hylawave
takes a different approach from conventional fillers.
Today, I will explain the principles of Hylawave
and who it is best suited for.
Fillers vs. Hylawave: What is the difference?
Fillers involve injecting substances into a specific area
to create volume on the spot.
It is similar to filling an empty room with furniture.
While there are immediate and distinct changes,
the placement and dosage design significantly influence the outcome.
Uijeongbu Hylawave approaches this from a different direction.
It is a method of changing the environment
so that the skin itself produces collagen and elastin.
Rather than putting furniture in an empty room,
it is more like renovating the room itself to be sturdy.
Because volume is restored gradually and naturally,
people often get reactions like,"Something looks different, but I can't tell what it is."

What are the principles of Hylawave?
The core of Uijeongbu Hylawave is its dual hyaluronic acid structure.입니다.
Based on high-purity hyaluronic acid from France,
it features a combination of two sizes of hyaluronic acid:
low-molecular-weight and high-molecular-weight.
👉 Low-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acidhas small molecules that
quickly penetrate between skin tissues
to improve inner dryness and strengthen the skin barrier.
👉 High-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acidgradually decomposes within the skin
to induce collagen production.
In this process, lost elasticity is restored,
and sunken areas are naturally filled.
Since both components work simultaneously,
you can expect both immediate hydration improvement
and long-term elasticity recovery.
As a medical device approved by the MFDS,
it is injected into the dermal layer
for the purpose of improving facial wrinkles and restoring volume.
Which areas can it be used on?
Hylawave can be used on most areas of the face where volume has decreased.
For cheekbones and front cheeks when the mid-face volume has decreased and looks flat.
For nasolabial folds when deepening wrinkles are a concern.
For side cheeks when the entire cheek area is sunken, causing the facial contour to look collapsed.
For the under-eye area to improve a tired appearance caused by hollowness and dark circles.
One of the characteristics of Hylawave is that it can be applied naturally
even to areas with thin skin, such as the under-eyes or neck,
due to its relatively soft physical properties.
What changes can be expected?
Rather than immediate changes,
it focuses on gradual improvement over time.
A sense of hydration is felt immediately after the procedure,
and as collagen production progresses,
some experience changes in elasticity and volume after 2 to 4 weeks.
Results vary depending on individual skin conditions and lifestyle habits.
Generally, 2 to 3 sessions at 2 to 4-week intervals are recommended,
often followed by periodic maintenance.
It is often better suited for those who want to naturally improve their skin's condition
rather than those who need immediate volume changes.
더 잘 맞는 경우가 많습니다.
It is an excellent option for:
Those who need volume restoration but find fillers burdensome.
Those concerned about both inner dryness and loss of elasticity.
Those who want natural changes.
Those concerned about under-eye hollowness or nasolabial folds.
However, if there is active inflammation on the skin,
if you have a keloid-prone constitution,
or if you are pregnant or have a history of allergies to specific ingredients,
a consultation is required before the procedure.
⚠️ Precautions
Avoid pressing firmly on or
massaging the treated area immediately after the procedure.
Please refrain from saunas, steam rooms, and alcohol for one week after the procedure.
Persistent heat can increase skin irritation.
Temporary swelling or bruising may occur,
but most will subside naturally within a few days.
If you have an important schedule,
it is recommended to receive the treatment at least one week in advance.
Please apply moisturizer and sunscreen thoroughly after the procedure.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is the effect of Uijeongbu Hylawave similar to fillers?
The direction is different.
Fillers create immediate volume at the injection site,
while Hylawave changes the environment
so that the skin itself produces collagen.
It is often more suitable for those who want natural and gradual results
rather than immediate changes.
Q. Is it effective after just one session?
Some people feel a change in hydration after a single session.
However, since it is a method where elasticity and volume are restored as collagen production accumulates,
2 to 3 repeated sessions are beneficial for building up the effect.
We recommend checking the results after one session before deciding on additional treatments.
Q. Can it be used on areas with thin skin, like the under-eyes?
Yes, it is possible in many cases.
Hylawave is designed with soft physical properties,
so it can be applied relatively naturally even to areas with thin skin.
However, since the under-eye area requires precise design,
we proceed after directly checking the condition.
Q. How long do the effects of Hylawave last?
It depends on individual skin conditions and lifestyle habits.
It is generally known to last from several months to about a year.
If periodic maintenance is continued,
the effects often last longer.
Q. Is Hylawave different from skin boosters?
Hylawave is classified as a biostimulator
that combines skin booster and volumizing functions.
Compared to standard skin boosters that focus on hydration,
Hylawave's characteristic is that it approaches
volume restoration and elasticity improvement simultaneously.
If you need volume but find fillers burdensome,
you may consider a direction that enhances the skin's own resilience.
Uijeongbu Hylawave is a procedure that approaches
immediate hydration improvement and long-term collagen production
simultaneously using dual hyaluronic acid.
