Volume Concerns, Fillers Aren't the Only Answer

[Seongsu Ttukseom] Sio Clinic

If your under-eyes look unusually hollow, or your mid-cheeks and nasolabial folds appear sunken, your entire face can look tired.

One of the first procedures that comes to mind in such cases is fillers.

Fillers are an effective way to replenish lost volume, but there's no need to apply them in the same way to all areas. Especially for areas like the under-eyes, where the skin is thin and movement is frequent, how and with what material you fill may be more important than how much you fill.

​

Recently, Hillo Wave is also being chosen as a method that can consider natural volume and hydration together.

Reasons to Consider Hillo Wave for Under-Eye Hollowness

Under-eye hollowness isn't solely explained by a lack of volume. As the skin thins and loses moisture, shadows can appear more prominent.

One of the advantages of Hillo Wave is that

it can supplement the volume in sunken areas while

also considering skin hydration.

​

When injected appropriately into areas with insufficient volume, it can relatively quickly improve hollowness and add moisture to the skin, helping to improve a tired and dry appearance.

​

Especially for areas like the under-eyes, where changes are most noticeable on the face, it's important to supplement naturally as needed rather than simply injecting a large amount.

How is it Different from Fillers?

Both fillers and Hillo Wave can be used for volume improvement, but there are differences in their treatment goals and approaches.

​

​

Fillers are relatively focused on creating volume. On the other hand, Hillo Wave is an option to consider when you want both natural volume and hydration.

​

Furthermore, for delicate areas like the under-eyes, the injection amount and location must be precisely controlled to avoid excessive volume or unnatural borders.

​

Personally, I believe it's important to consider the connection with the mid-cheeks and balance the entire face, rather than just filling the under-eyes.

​

This is because sometimes the face can look awkward even after just filling the under-eyes.

Hillo Wave is not a procedure

Dosage Guidelines

Recommended Application Areas and Treatment Methods

2cc

Supplementing small areas of volume (under-eyes, mid-cheeks, or nasolabial folds)

4cc

When the area of hollowness is somewhat wide (under-eyes, mid-cheeks, nasolabial folds, or side cheek depressions) / Full-face skin booster method (improving overall facial hydration and elasticity)

6cc

When volume loss is observed in multiple facial areas (considering overall balance from under-eyes to mid-cheeks, nasolabial folds, and side cheek depressions)

However, cc is just one guideline.

Even with the same 4cc, the required area and injection amount can vary depending on facial shape, bone structure, skin thickness, and the degree of hollowness.

​

Therefore, during consultation, it's better to first assess which areas actually appear sunken and what kind of impression you want to improve, rather than asking how many cc to inject.

​

If you want overall facial hydration and natural volume,

there is also a method of using Hillo Wave across the entire face.

For cases where the skin is generally dry and elasticity has decreased, leading to a subtle loss of volume, about 4cc can be used with a full-face skin booster approach.

​

In this case, the focus is on overall facial hydration, skin condition, and natural volume, rather than significantly filling a specific area.

​

Most importantly, those who are concerned about downtime that interferes with daily life might consider this type of treatment.

Hillo Wave Dosage by Area, Why Naturalness is Important

What I consider most important in volume treatments

is not filling a lot.

After the procedure, feeling like something has changed,

while also having the entire face look a bit more

relaxed and vibrant.

I believe that such a degree of change results in satisfaction that lasts longer.

​

Especially for the under-eyes, where even small changes can significantly alter one's appearance, it's crucial to approach it delicately and with only what's necessary.

​

​

Hillo Wave also cannot be said to be a better treatment than fillers for everyone. Depending on skin condition, the cause of hollowness, and desired changes, fillers may be more suitable, or other treatments may be necessary.

​

However, if you desire volume but prefer natural changes and hydration over the strong volume of fillers, Hillo Wave can be an option.

​

Hydration for the skin,

and natural volume that isn't excessive.

When you need volume,

you don't have to think only of fillers.

※ The treatment method, appropriate dosage, and expected effects

may vary depending on individual skin condition and anatomical characteristics,

and it is best to decide after consulting with a medical professional.
