Dermal Fillers in Korea: Your Comprehensive Guide

Korea is globally renowned for advanced cosmetic treatments, with dermal fillers ranking among the most popular non-surgical procedures. Dermal fillers effectively smooth wrinkles, enhance facial contours, and restore youthful volume without invasive surgery. Here's everything you need to know about getting dermal fillers in Korea.


What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels typically made from hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, or poly-L-lactic acid. These substances replenish lost volume, smooth fine lines and deep wrinkles, and enhance facial features such as cheeks, lips, nose, and chin.


Popular Types of Fillers in Korea

  • Hyaluronic Acid (HA): The most common type, used for lips, nasolabial folds, under-eye hollows, and overall facial contouring.
  • Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA): Ideal for deeper wrinkles and facial volume enhancement, providing longer-lasting results.
  • Poly-L-lactic Acid (Sculptra): Stimulates natural collagen production for gradual, natural-looking results, often used for deep volume restoration.


Areas Commonly Treated with Fillers

  • Lips: Enhance volume and shape.
  • Cheeks: Lift and restore youthful contour.
  • Chin and Jawline: Define and strengthen facial structure.
  • Under-eyes: Improve hollow, tired appearance.
  • Nose (Non-surgical Rhinoplasty): Reshape without surgery.
