Hello.
I am Dr. Hyuk-chan Cho, Director of Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu.
Many patients visit our clinic with these concerns.
"The nasolabial folds remain even when I'm not smiling."
"Even when I try to cover them with makeup, the lines stand out even more."
"I've been hearing that I look older more often lately."
Nasolabial folds are a key area that determines one's impression.
Even on the same face, if these lines are prominent,
one can look older than their actual age
or easily develop a tired-looking appearance.
Today, for those looking into nasolabial fold fillers in Uijeongbu,
I will explain everything from why nasolabial folds form
to the changes fillers can create and the necessary precautions.
Why do nasolabial folds form?
Nasolabial folds are not lines that form directly on the corners of the mouth.
The cause lies above them.
1) Loss of volume in the inner cheekbones
As we pass our 30s, fat and collagen in the front of the face
gradually decrease.
When the volume supporting the inner cheekbones is lost,
the skin loses its support and sags in the direction of gravity.
To use a simple analogy, it's like a bookshelf without support
leaning forward and creating a crease.
2) Repetitive movement of facial muscles
Every time you smile, the muscles around the mouth pull upward,
causing the same crease to fold daily between the cheekbones and the mouth.
Lines that were initially only visible when smiling
become permanent creases as the same spot is repeatedly folded,
even when the face is at rest.
3) Decrease in skin elasticity
When collagen and elastin decrease, the skin's own resilience weakens.
As volume loss and expression lines work together,
the nasolabial lines become deeper and more set.
Because these three factors act simultaneously,
nasolabial folds are difficult to reverse
with just creams or massages.
What is the Uijeongbu nasolabial fold filler procedure?
Uijeongbu nasolabial fold filler is a temporary restorative procedure
that injects hyaluronic acid fillers into the sunken nasolabial lines
to fill the hollow creases and soften the overall impression.
The key is not just filling the wrinkle groove,
but designing it to support the inner cheekbones where volume has been lost.
When the support is rebuilt, the lines above it
naturally smooth out.
At Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu,
we personally check the depth and texture of the patient's nasolabial lines,
and skin thickness,
before selecting the most suitable filler.
Reasons to consider the combination of fillers and Jamber threads
The nasolabial area allows for a wide range of filler options.
Cleor Clinic Uijeongbu offers both Korean-made and Premium Imported fillers.
Volume (1cc / 2cc)
Mild lines can sometimes be smoothed out with about 1cc,
but if deep grooves are present on both sides,
2cc or more may be required.
The required volume will be determined
by the medical staff after a personal consultation.
Combination with Jamber Volume Threads
Jamber Volume threads are made of dissolvable material
that settles inside the skin
to hold sagging lines and support
the environment for collagen production.
For those experiencing a decrease in skin elasticity,
adding 4 Jamber Volume threads to the nasolabial filler
can create a synergistic effect by filling volume
while simultaneously lifting sagging lines.
Expected changes from Uijeongbu nasolabial fold fillers
Once the filler settles along the nasolabial lines,
the following changes can be expected.
1) A softer impression with smoothed deep grooves
The nasolabial creases visible at rest become shallower.
2) An overall softer-looking appearance
A tired or sagging impression
is refined into a comfortable and bright look.
3) Immediate results
You can experience the changes to some extent immediately after the procedure.
(The results look most natural after 1–2 weeks once the swelling subsides.)
4) Refinement of cheekbone volume
Instead of just filling the nasolabial folds,
the supporting inner cheekbones are also refined,
giving the entire mid-face a more three-dimensional look.
5) Quick return to daily life
Most patients can return to work and go out from the next day.
However, as with all procedures, results vary by individual,
and those with active facial muscles often combine it with Botox.
This will be reviewed by the medical staff during the consultation.
⚠️ Post-Procedure Precautions
The nasolabial area involves a lot of facial movement.
While the filler is settling,
it is best to handle your face more gently than usual.
Please postpone activities that increase body heat.
It is best to skip exercise, saunas, half-baths, and alcohol
on the day of the procedure.
Increased body temperature can darken bruising
or slow down the reduction of swelling.
Avoid applying pressure to the face
For 2–3 days after the procedure, avoid rubbing or tapping while washing,
and reduce the use of massagers. The settling filler
can be affected by external pressure.
Sleeping Posture
Avoid sleeping on your side or stomach for the first few days.
Sleeping flat on your back is best
for the filler to settle stably.
Temporary Symptoms
Mild redness, slight swelling,
and minor bruising may occur.
Most symptoms fade within a few days,
but bruising may last for 1–2 weeks.
If any of the following apply to you,
please inform us during the consultation.
Pregnant or breastfeeding
Inflammation in the treatment area or history of herpes simplex
Autoimmune diseases or keloid skin type
Taking anticoagulants or aspirin-based medications
Visit the clinic immediately if abnormalities occur
If you experience persistent pain, hard lumps (nodules),
or changes in skin color, please visit the clinic without hesitation.
Recovery speed and results may vary by individual.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Are the effects visible immediately?
A. While the filling of the lines is visible immediately after injection,
the results look most natural after 1–2 weeks once the swelling subsides.
Q. Which is better, Korean-made or Premium Imported?
A. It's not about which one is better;
the choice depends on your specific goals.
If it's your first time
or you want to start without pressure, Korean-made is a good option.
If you have deep lines or prioritize long-term clinical data,
you may consider Premium Imported options.
The medical staff will help you decide during the consultation.
Q. Is 1cc enough?
A. Mild nasolabial lines
can sometimes be refined with about 1cc,
but if there are deep grooves on both sides
or if the cheekbone volume also needs support,
2cc or more may be required.
The exact volume can only be determined after a physical assessment of the lines.
Q. How long do the effects usually last?
A. Generally, they are known to last around 6–12 months.
However, since it is an area with frequent facial movement,
absorption rates vary by individual,
making it difficult to guarantee a uniform duration.
Q. Are Jamber Volume threads mandatory?
A. They are not mandatory.
For those with only prominent volume loss,
fillers alone may be sufficient.
For those concerned about sagging lines as well,
adding threads can create a synergistic effect.
Q. Does the filler get fully absorbed over time?
A. Hyaluronic acid fillers
are known to be substances that gradually decompose within the body
over time.
Q. What are the possible side effects?
A. Bruising, swelling, temporary redness, tenderness,
and small nodules may occur at the treatment site.
Rarely, allergic reactions
or vascular-related side effects have been reported,
so a pre-consultation and post-procedure monitoring are important.
Q. What is the cost?
A. The cost varies depending on the type of filler (Korean-made/Premium Imported), volume (1cc/2cc),
and whether threads are added.
Detailed non-insured treatment fees can be found on the clinic's information page
or upon visiting the clinic.
A nasolabial fold is just a single line,
but it is an area that influences the entire impression.
Since it cannot be hidden with makeup and stands out when smiling,
small changes can significantly impact daily confidence.
If you are considering nasolabial fold fillers in Uijeongbu,
it is better to determine the treatment direction by examining the depth of the lines, cheekbone volume,
and facial habits rather than making a hasty decision.
