4.4 Clinic (Sajeomsa Clinic) Nasolabial Fold Solution: Fillers vs. Juvelook Volume, Which is Right for You?

Hello. This is 4.4 Clinic (Sajeomsa Clinic).

When searching for information on improving nasolabial folds,

the two most common options you will encounter

are 'fillers' and 'Juvelook Volume.'

In fact, many patients visit our 4.4 Clinic with Juvelook Volume in mind,

only to switch to fillers after a skin diagnosis,

or conversely, come in thinking about fillers

and end up being recommended Juvelook Volume.

Rather than one procedure being superior to the other,

it comes down to the difference in 'what your current skin condition needs.'

Today, 4.4 Clinic will clearly summarize the differences between these two procedures

and provide a foolproof guide to making the right choice.

<3 Complex Causes of Nasolabial Folds>

To choose an effective procedure, you must first understand

why your nasolabial folds formed. The depression in the nasolabial area is not simply a matter of the skin surface folding.

Descent of Cheek Fat (Sagging)

Due to aging, the fat pads in the front and side cheeks sag downwards,

accumulating heavily above the nasolabial line boundary.

Weakening of Skeletal and Ligament Support

As the volume of the cheekbones and maxilla (upper jawbone) decreases,

the internal support structures that hold up the skin and tissues become loose.

Decrease in Collagen and Elasticity

As the skin itself becomes thinner, the folds created

when making facial expressions become permanently fixed.

Nasolabial Fillers:

Immediate and Physical Volume Layering

Fillers involve directly injecting substances similar to human body components,

such as hyaluronic acid (HA), into the depressed grooves

to physically and immediately lift and flatten the area.

Because the mechanism of action is intuitive, you can see the volume

immediately when looking in the mirror right after the procedure. Tailored to the highly mobile nature of the nasolabial area,

a product with appropriate cohesiveness and viscosity is precisely injected into the target layer.

Juvelook Volume:

A Stimulator Inducing Autologous Collagen Production

Juvelook Volume belongs to a completely different category than fillers, which fill with artificial substances.

It works by having PDLLA components slowly degrade inside the skin,

inducing the production of autologous collagen and elastin.

Over about 4 to 8 weeks post-injection, cell proliferation and hydration occur,

helping the skin increase its own thickness and restore elasticity.

It is characterized by a natural, non-artificial volume that gradually builds up.

Nasolabial Fillers (Duration: Domestic 6-12 months / Imported 12-18 months)

Since it is an area with frequent movement, there are individual differences depending on metabolic rate.

Because you see immediate results with a single procedure, it offers good short-term cost-effectiveness.

Juvelook Volume (Duration: Approx. 12-24 months or more)

Because your own tissue has built up, the duration is relatively long.

Rather than a one-time treatment, the effects accumulate and the value is maximized when the recommended 3 sessions are repeated.

The accumulated total cost may be higher than fillers, but

it boasts excellent cost-effectiveness in terms of long-term retention and skin quality improvement.

No matter how good a procedure is, if performed indiscriminately without anatomical understanding, it will result in side effects.

Precautions for Filler Procedures

Tyndall Effect & Awkwardness:

If injected into too shallow a layer, light can scatter, making it look bluish,

and if an excessive amount is injected, the area around the mouth may protrude like a monkey, so precise depth control is essential.

Precautions for Juvelook Volume Procedures

Nodule (Lumping) Phenomenon:

Nodules occur when the injected particles do not spread evenly but clump together in a specific area and harden.

To fundamentally lower the risk of nodules, 4.4 Clinic undergoes a thorough

hydration process to finely disperse the particles before the procedure.

Immune Response (Granuloma):

Rarely, inflammatory granulomas can occur due to a constitutional foreign body reaction,

so you must receive the procedure from medical staff with abundant clinical experience, using the appropriate dosage in a safe layer.

Through precise diagnosis, 4.4 Clinic will find the safest and most

natural beauty for your facial lines. If you are curious about which solution is tailored to your skin, please feel free to contact us anytime.

We will answer with an objective and honest diagnosis.
