Question 1

How long does the effect last?

Accepted Answer

Specific results can differ just like any other skincare treatment.

Some dermal fillers will last 6 to 12 months, while others can last 2 to 5 years.

The most commonly used dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a natural compound that helps in collagen and elastin production.

It also gives the skin structure and plumpness, and a more hydrated appearance.

Please see the list below about the durability timelines for some of the most common dermal filler brands, like Juvaderm, Restylane, Radiesse, and Sculptra, to give you a better understanding of what you should expect in terms of performance.

1. Juvederm Voluma	About 24 months with touch-up care every 12 months to assist with longevity
2. Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus	About 12 months, with probable touch-up every 6–9 months

Question 2

How old do I have to be to get fillers done in Korea?

Accepted Answer

Although procedures are simple injections, everyone needs to be over 18 years of age or older, regardless of their state. On the other hand, consent needs to come from the patient’s legal guardian.

Question 3

Is there any downtime with fillers?

Accepted Answer

The beauty of dermal fillers is the lack of downtime! Some patients are fast bruisers and may develop some bruising, but most patients do not experience bruising. There may be mild swelling in the treated region, but usually, the same day should go down with a little ice. If you want to do so, you won't need to interrupt any regular task. Usually, it takes up to two weeks to see the final results. Some patients see it more quickly, but it varies from person to person. I highly recommend a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon in your city, with an advanced injection training.

Question 4

How is filler different from botox?

Accepted Answer

Both fillers and Botox come with their drawbacks and sets of benefits, and for the same reason, they are not widely used. While Botox is used to treat wrinkles, it does so by paralyzing the muscles that surround them. On the other hand, dermal fillers do just as they sound, by filling in the areas they are inserted into.

The best thing to do is to see a plastic surgeon approved by the commission or a dermatologist. They will assess your skin and help you choose the right treatment for your skin, your needs, and your pocketbook.
