What Is Dermal Filler?
Korean filler technique aims for enhancement that looks natural. Popular areas include nose bridge ('non-surgical rhinoplasty'), chin projection (for V-line), tear troughs (under-eye hollows), nasolabial folds, and lip enhancement. Korean clinics mostly use HA fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, and the Korean-made Elravie. The technique emphasizes micro-droplet placement for natural results rather than large volume injection.
