Understanding Dermal fillers
Our hyaluronic acid filler options include Restylane and Juvéderm, alongside other products. Your physician will consider the treatment area, anatomy, previous procedures, and goals before recommending a product.
Understand the material and the goal
Dermal fillers are injectable materials used for selected volume and contour concerns. Our options include hyaluronic acid fillers, but “filler” should never be treated as a complete product description. Ask about the brand, formulation, planned site, and amount.
A consultation should separate a volume concern from laxity, skin texture, or movement-related lines. Adding volume is not automatically the right response to every sign of ageing. Ask what a conservative plan would look like and whether treatment can be staged.
Who should discuss this option—and when to pause
Bring a record of previous filler, even if it was placed years earlier. Include the product, site, date, any dissolving treatment, and any lumps or reactions. If you do not have records, make that clear. The clinician may need to resolve that uncertainty before planning another injection.
Ask the physician to discuss your anatomy and the proposed site’s risks rather than relying on a generic consent description. Tell them about allergies, medicines, medical conditions, dental concerns or planned procedures, and your available follow-up time.
What to discuss at consultation
Which product and amount are proposed? What is the plan if a complication occurs?
- Your goals, prior procedures, medications, allergies, and relevant health conditions.
- Expected benefit, limitations, alternatives, and whether no treatment is the better choice.
- The clinician performing treatment, the exact device or product, and the full written price.
A closer look at the appointment
Agree on the treatment area and intended amount before the procedure. Ask who will inject, what material is being used, and how the clinic responds to a vascular complication. A quotation should identify the product and quantity rather than only naming a “full-face” package.
After treatment, request product details and written advice about expected changes and urgent symptoms. Ask whether and when a review is needed, and how to get help if you are already on your way home.
Recovery & planning your trip
Ask about early review, delayed complications, and access to urgent care after returning home. A lower price should never replace a discussion of safety.
Recovery varies with the treatment, settings, area, and individual response. Confirm your review appointment and return-flight timing with the treating physician. Ask for written aftercare instructions and a contact plan before leaving Jeju.
Results, timing, and realistic expectations
Early swelling can complicate how you judge appearance. Ask usian when comparison photographs or a review will be most useful. Longevity varies by material, area, and individual factors, so a general estimate should not be presented as a guarantee.
The FDA notes that some adverse effects may arise weeks, months, or years later. Ask about delayed reactions as well as immediate problems. Do not assume that a material described as dissolvable eliminates the possibility of lasting harm.
AN INFORMED DECISION
Risks & considerations
Swelling and bruising can occur. Unintended injection into a blood vessel can cause tissue damage, blindness, or stroke. Seek urgent care for unusual severe pain, skin colour changes, or vision symptoms.
No aesthetic treatment is risk-free. These questions and examples are not a complete contraindication or risk list. Your clinician must explain the details of your proposed treatment.
Cost & what is included
Request a current VAT-inclusive quote. Confirm the treatment area, product or device, quantity or settings, anesthesia if needed, review visits, and any extra charges. No fixed package price is presented here because a current confirmed quote is needed.

These are discussion points, not a recommendation or a claim that every alternative is available at NOWMEDI.
| Option or concern | What to discuss |
|---|---|
| Hyaluronic acid filler | Discuss the specific formulation, site, amount, and management options. |
| Collagen-stimulating injectables | Different materials and timelines; do not assume the same reversal options. |
| No injection or staged treatment | Ask whether waiting or a smaller initial plan better fits your goals. |
Common questions
Can I choose this treatment before I arrive?+
You can ask about it in advance, but a final recommendation depends on clinical assessment. Availability does not establish that a treatment is right for you.
Will the treatment be the same as in Singapore?+
Not necessarily. Products, permitted uses, and clinical practice can differ by country. Ask your physician about the exact product, its intended use, and its authorization in Korea and the United States.
Can I combine it with another procedure?+
Ask the treating doctor about sequencing, cumulative risks, and recovery. Do not assume combining procedures is appropriate for a short visit.
More questions about this treatment
Can every unwanted result be dissolved?
No universal reversal promise is appropriate. Management depends on the material and the problem. Ask what options exist for your exact product.
What symptoms should not wait?
Vision changes, unusual severe pain, or concerning skin colour changes after injection need urgent assessment. Serious symptoms should not be managed by waiting for an email reply.
Can I compare clinics by the price per syringe?
Only after confirming that the product, volume, treatment area, physician, included care, and follow-up terms are comparable.
