Hello.

Improving the essence of skin with care,

Medical Director of Mind Dermatology Clinic,

I am Dr. Hongseon Lee, a dermatologist with 17 years of experience.

​

​

​

"I've lost facial fat and am considering fillers,

but I'm worried it might look too artificial.

​

Would Sculptra be okay?"

​

​

Many people are concerned about changes in their appearance as facial volume decreases.

​

​

At this time, as a way to supplement the hollowed areas Fillers or Sculptraare also considered.

​

​

These two treatments differ in how they improve volume and in the process by which changes appear.

​

​

Therefore, rather than choosing one treatment solely because you want a natural result,

​

​

it is important to find the method that suits your current facial condition and desired changes.finding the appropriate method is important.

​

​

​

​

Today, before choosing Sculptra, what to consider I will discuss point by point.

​

01. If immediate volume is the goal,

it may not be suitable.

​

Sculptra differs from hyaluronic acid fillers in that it does not immediately fill the space on injection.

​

​

Sculptra is a procedure that uses PLLA to stimulate collagen production in the skin.This is the nature of the treatment.

​

​

Over time, volume improvement due to collagen formationcan be expected.

​

​

On the other hand, hyaluronic acid fillers directly restore volume to sunken areas, Relatively immediate changeis easy to notice.

​

​

  • If you want a rapid change : If you need to quickly correct a localized hollowing before an important event, consider a hyaluronic acid filler.

​

​

  • If you want gradual change : If you prefer volume to improve gradually rather than seeing a big difference immediately after the procedure, Sculptra can be an option.

​

​

02. Sculptra may be a good choice for these people

​

Not only when a single area is deeply hollowed, but also when facial volume has decreased overall with aging,it can be considered.

​

​

However, skin thickness, elasticity, and the areas of volume loss should be evaluated comprehensively to determine suitabilitybefore proceeding.

​

​

​

​

  • Those concerned about overall facial volume : If multiple areas such as the temples and anterior cheeks have lost volume, consideration of overall facial balancecan guide the treatment plan.

​

​

  • Those who have both decreased skin elasticity and volume concerns : Assessing the skin condition and pattern of volume losshelps determine whether Mapo Sculptra is an appropriate option.

​

​

That said, there is individual variability in how much skin thickness and fine lines improve.

​

​

  • Those who want gradual change : rather than a dramatic change immediately after the procedure a direction where volume gradually improves over timeIf you prefer that, it may be an option.

​

03. Why personalized design is important

​

One of the side effects to be cautious of during Sculptra treatment is nodules where the product feels lumpy.

​

​

injection method and depth, and the preparation process of the product can be related, so a careful treatment plan is important.

​

​

​

​

  • Preparation and injection according to product instructions : prepare the product according to the product's instructions, inject considering skin thickness and anatomical structureshould be performed.

​

​

  • Volume design tailored to facial shape : injecting a large volume does not necessarily produce better results.

​

​

the degree of cheekbone prominence and asymmetry, and the overall facial volume distributionIt is important to determine the treatment approach considering these.

​

​

  • Treatment plan suited to the current condition : the location and extent of volume loss, and the desired speed of change etc., and a process of assessing whether Sculptra at Mapo Dermatology Clinic is appropriate is needed.

​

Volume treatments are It's not simply a process of injecting medication like in a factory..

​

​

It's a delicate process that requires considering the changes that occur as collagen is produced and the overall balance of the face.

​

​

Mind Dermatology Clinic We value the results that appear over time as much as the immediate changes before your eyes.

​

​

Rather than just adding volume unconditionally, we first consider whether the procedure is truly necessary for your face now,

​

​

andwe aim for results that naturally harmonize with your original features rather than excessive change.

​

​

​

We will provide care with sincerity.
