Dermatology Injections: Fillers (1)
A comprehensive guide to dermal fillers, explaining how to choose the right product based on firmness and treatment area. It covers popular brands like Belotero, Restylane, Juvéderm, and Chaeum.
3️⃣ Fillers
There is a wide variety of filler brands and products available,
but they are much easier to understand when categorized by their firmness.
(During the procedure, more complex factors like G prime and tangent are considered, but we can leave those technical details to the practitioner...)
👉 Soft, fine-particle fillers → Medium-firmness fillers → Hard fillers with strong support
Based on this, you can generally match them to the following treatment areas:
Aegyo-sal (under-eye rolls) & Under-eyes → Lips → Front cheeks
Nasolabial folds & Marionette lines
Temples & Forehead
Side cheeks & Chin → Nose
Depending on the patient’s skin thickness, degree of volume loss, age, and sagging,
the specific choice may vary,
but the general framework remains the same.
✔ Belotero Lineup
SOFT → BALANCE → INTENSE → VOLUME
Belotero Soft
Aegyo-sal, under-eyes, lips
👉 The particles are extremely fine, making it suitable for treating scars and neck wrinkles.
Belotero Balance
Lips, nasolabial folds, front cheeks, marionette lines
Belotero Intense
Temples, forehead, nasolabial folds, side cheeks
Belotero Volume
Forehead, temples, chin, nose
✔ Restylane Lineup
▷ Restylane Lyft
The gold standard for nose and chin fillers
It has excellent shape retention,
maintaining a firm, upright structure without spreading over time.
Due to the characteristics of the NASHA technology, it has minimal migration,
making it the most stable choice for the nose and chin.
▷ Restylane Kysse
An FDA-approved filler specifically designed for lips
It offers a smooth injection feel,
creates a beautiful shape,
and causes minimal swelling and discomfort.
👉 It is the first product we recommend for lip augmentation.
▷ Restylane Eyelight
The only FDA-approved filler for the under-eye area
It excels at providing support from the deeper layers.
👉 Eyelight (deep layer) + Belotero Soft (surface finishing)
This combination yields the most natural results and excellent longevity.
▷ Restylane Volyme
Natural volume for the forehead and front cheeks
It settles more naturally as time passes.
It is key for creating a soft, feminine, and youthful impression.
✔ Juvéderm Fillers
Juvéderm utilizes Vycross technology,
efficiently cross-linking low and high molecular weight HA (Hyaluronic Acid).
Its high viscoelasticity provides smooth volume without clumping.
The injection feel is exceptionally smooth.
It has great water absorption properties,
naturally completing a beautiful ‘D-shaped’ volume over time.
Recommended areas by product line:
Volbella: Lips, under-eyes, aegyo-sal
Volift: Nasolabial folds, marionette lines, forehead, temples, front and side cheeks
Voluma: Forehead, side cheeks
Volux: Can be used for the nose and chin → However, Restylane Lyft is generally recommended for these areas.
✔ Chaeum Fillers (Korean)
Manages BDDE cross-linking agent levels to below 2ppm,
reducing the likelihood of swelling and delayed allergic reactions.

No. 1: Aegyo-sal, under-eyes, lips
No. 2: Lips, front cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, temples, forehead
No. 3: Forehead, temples
