Filler is widely used to soften wrinkles, but a Korean news report from Seoul Shinmun argued that a younger-looking face depends on proportion as well as smooth skin. Dr. Wontak Choi, representative director of Yaan Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, was quoted on a full-face approach built around Artefill. The report notes that a slim jawline, full cheeks and a rounded forehead are all part of a youthful look.
All treatments at Yaan Clinic are performed by a skilled, specialized medical team, delivering standardized, high-quality care based on the clinic's own proven clinical protocols.
Full-face thinking
Filler works by adding volume beneath wrinkled skin, but the report says the number of injections matters less than placing them in the right areas. It cites new terms such as “full-face filler” and “petite jaw filler” to describe treatments that fill the areas each person lacks and balance the whole face.
Dr. Choi said he recommends filling for harmonious volume over following trends, and that experienced doctors tend to have a better eye for balance.
Safety and Artefill
The report puts safety first. Artefill was approved by the US FDA in 2006 and is described as a semi-permanent filler that, unlike products needing repeat treatment every six months to a year, has less risk of blood-supply problems and tissue damage from repeated injections.
Dr. Choi cautioned that if filler enters a blood vessel in the hands of an unskilled doctor, serious problems such as vision loss or paralysis can occur, so patients should consult an experienced doctor directly. The report adds that he is also an adjunct professor at Hanyang University College of Medicine and has served as a clinical instructor at Seoul National University Hospital’s obesity and anti-aging clinic.
