Volume Concerns, Fillers Aren't the Only Answer

[Seongsu Ttukseom] Sio Clinic

If your under-eyes look particularly hollow, or your mid-cheek and nasolabial areas appear sunken, your entire face can look tired.

One of the first treatments that comes to mind in these cases is filler.

While fillers are an effective way to replenish lost volume, they do not need to be applied the same way to every area. Especially for areas with thin skin and high mobility like the under-eyes, how and with what material you fill is more important than how much.

​

Recently, Hylowave has become an option for those seeking both natural volume and hydration.

Why consider Hylowave for under-eye hollows?

Under-eye hollows are not just a matter of lacking volume. As the skin thins and loses moisture, shadows can become more prominent.

One of the advantages of Hylowave is that it allows you to

address the volume of sunken areas

while also considering the skin's

hydration levels.

​

When injected appropriately into areas lacking volume, it can relatively quickly compensate for the hollowness and help improve a tired, dry-looking impression by adding moisture to the skin.

​

Especially in areas like the under-eyes, where changes are most visible, it is more important to supplement naturally as needed rather than injecting a large amount unconditionally.

How is it different from fillers?

While both fillers and Hylowave can be used for volume improvement, there are differences in the purpose and approach of the treatment.

​

​

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

​

Also, in delicate areas like the under-eyes, the injection amount and position must be precisely controlled to avoid excessive volume or visible boundaries.

​

Personally, I prioritize looking at the connection with the mid-cheeks and balancing the entire face rather than just filling the under-eyes unconditionally.

​

This is because there are cases where filling only the under-eyes can make the face look awkward.

Hylowave Dosage by Area, as much as needed in the necessary areas

Hylowave is not a treatment applied

identically to everyone with a single

fixed dosage.

Dosage Standards

Recommended Areas and Treatment Methods

2cc

Small-scale volume supplementation (under-eyes, mid-cheeks, or nasolabial folds)

4cc

When the hollow area is somewhat wide (under-eyes, mid-cheeks, nasolabial folds, or temple hollows) / Full-face skin booster method (improving overall facial hydration and elasticity)

6cc

When volume loss is identified in multiple areas of the face (considering overall balance from under-eyes to mid-cheeks, nasolabial folds, and temple hollows)

However, cc is just a standard.

Even with the same 4cc, the necessary areas and injection amounts can vary depending on face shape, bone structure, skin thickness, and the degree of hollowness.

​

Therefore, during consultation, it is better to first identify which areas actually look hollow 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, you can also use

Hylowave on the entire face.

In cases where the skin is dry overall, elasticity is decreasing, and subtle volume loss is felt, you can approach it with a full-face skin booster method using about 4cc.

​

In this case, rather than filling a specific area significantly, we consider the overall facial hydration, skin condition, and natural volume together.

​

Above all, for those who are concerned about downtime that interferes with daily life, this type of treatment can be considered.

Hylowave Dosage by Area, why naturalness is important

What I consider most important in volume treatments

is not filling as much as possible.

It is about having a result where you feel

a subtle change, yet the face looks

more comfortable and vibrant overall.

I believe that level of change leads to long-term satisfaction.

​

Especially since the under-eye area can significantly change one's impression with even small adjustments, it is important to approach it delicately with only as much as is needed.

​

​

Hylowave cannot be said to be a better treatment than fillers for everyone. Depending on skin condition, the cause of hollowness, and the desired changes, fillers may be more suitable in some cases, while other treatments may be needed in others.

​

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

​

Hydration that the skin drinks,

and natural volume that isn't excessive.
