Why Artefill Is Chosen for Collagen Support: Dr. Wontak Choi on Long-Lasting Filler for Mature Parents

A Korean news report from Hankook.com looked at why more adults are considering long-lasting filler, using Artefill as its example. Yaan Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, and its representative director, Dr. Wontak Choi, were quoted. The report began with a demographic point: the average age of Seoul residents reached 39.7, and more mothers now give birth in their 30s and 40s, so some parents worry about looking older than other parents at their child’s school.

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.

Why long-lasting filler

The report explains that collagen in the body declines by about 1 percent each year after aging begins, and says creams and drinks have little effect on collagen. Artefill is presented as a filler that smooths wrinkles and also encourages continued collagen production in the treated area, which supports skin firmness.

It adds that the US FDA has approved Artefill for nasolabial folds and for acne scars.

What Dr. Choi says

Dr. Choi said many patients come to Yaan Clinic asking about repeat filler sessions, and that a longer-lasting filler may suit people who want results without frequent retreatment. He advised that both the doctor and the patient should clearly understand the purpose of the treatment and choose a filler that fits it.

The report also noted that Yaan Clinic trains doctors in petite aesthetic procedures and builds clinical experience through international academic activities and seminars.

One Seoul resident in her 40s told the reporter that she meets many parents of similar age at school, but still worries that her child may be bothered if she looks older than a friend’s mother. The report treats this as a sign of broader interest in youthful appearance, which it expects to continue.
