1 session × ₩99,000, lasting about 15 months. Lips fade first: 71% of Volbella lip patients still counted as improved at 6 months and 62% at 1 year, while 79% of Voluma cheek patients still rated their cheeks improved at 2 years.
Uses this week's Seoul median and the typical duration from studies. Other treatments use their midpoint duration and usual first course.
In the Volbella lip trial, swelling cleared in 1–3 days for about half of people and took 4–7 days for a third, and most bruises lasted 4–7 days; cheeks usually swell less.
Visible volume immediately, plus tiny injection marks and puffiness. Lips and under-eyes swell the most.
AI-generated models, not real patients. Effects are illustrated to show typical healing; everyone heals differently. Pick a face like yours, then hover or tap the photo to zoom.
Early in your trip, ideally with 5–7 days left, so lip or under-eye swelling has time to settle before you fly.
Most clinics suggest waiting 24–72 hours before flying: cabin pressure and low humidity can worsen swelling and bruising, more so for lips.
One session is the whole treatment; you'll see most of the final shape within a week and the settled result by 2 weeks. Unlike Rejuran or Botox, there's no course to finish.
Often paired with Botox or a skin booster in the same visit. Doctors typically do filler first, since it changes the shape they're working with.
Filler has no wound for the sun to mark, but heat, strong sun and exercise can add swelling at first. The FDA label says avoid them for 24 hours; Seoul's Asan Medical Center says no sauna or jjimjilbang for a week. That makes steamy midsummer the least convenient time. We found no study showing cold weather harms filler.
This week's median across 58 Seoul clinic listings is about ₩99,000 for 1cc, with a range of ₩19,000–₩440,000. The low end is usually a Korean brand or a first-visit event price; the high end is typically Juvéderm.
Yes, uniquely among common injectables. An enzyme called hyaluronidase breaks down the cross-linked hyaluronic acid, and most people see visible improvement within 24–48 hours of the dissolving injection.
It depends on the area: lips and other high-movement spots typically last 6–12 months, while denser areas like the chin, cheeks and nasolabial folds can last 12–24 months.
Most clinics suggest waiting 24–72 hours, longer for lips, since cabin pressure and low cabin humidity can worsen swelling and bruising.
The rare but serious one is vascular occlusion, where filler blocks a blood vessel. It's more common with needles than with cannulas and less common with experienced injectors. Ask who is injecting you and whether the clinic keeps hyaluronidase on site.
Both are cross-linked hyaluronic acid and both are reversible. Korean brands like Neuramis, YVOIRE, Chaeum and Elasty are generally cheaper in Seoul; imported brands like Juvéderm, Restylane and Belotero cost more but are the same brands sold at home, which can matter if you want continuity.

Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule that already exists in skin, where it holds water and adds volume. Cosmetic HA fillers cross-link (chemically bond) HA chains together so the gel resists the body's natural breakdown long enough to last months rather than hours.
Because it's still HA, the filler can be broken down early with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that cuts the cross-linked chains and lets the body clear the gel; most patients see visible improvement within 24–48 hours of a dissolving injection.
The most serious risk is vascular occlusion: filler accidentally injected into or compressing a blood vessel, cutting off blood supply to skin, or in rare cases the eye. Needle injections carry roughly six times the reported occlusion rate of blunt-tipped cannulas per syringe in one large analysis, and injectors with more than five years of filler experience were markedly less likely to cause an occlusion than less experienced ones.
If an occlusion happens, high-dose hyaluronidase given quickly, ideally within hours, is the standard emergency treatment and significantly improves outcomes; delayed treatment raises the risk of skin necrosis, scarring, or in eye-area cases, vision loss.
Duration varies by location because of tissue movement: lips and other high-movement areas break the filler down fastest (about 6–12 months), while denser, less mobile areas like the chin and cheeks can hold filler 12–24 months.
