This page is the hub for all filler treatments at Yaan Clinic. It explains what filler can and cannot do, which products Yaan uses, how the procedure works, and which dedicated page to read for the nose, under-eyes, neck, hands, breast and hip, or long-lasting Artecoll.
What is dermal filler?
Dermal filler is a gel injected under the skin to add volume where it has been lost or was never there. It can soften deep folds, lift a flat forehead, raise a low nose bridge or define a chin, with no incision and a quick recovery.
Most fillers used today are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance that occurs naturally in skin and holds water. HA fillers are gradually absorbed by the body, and many can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if adjustment is needed. Yaan's FAQ notes that some fillers are reversible with hyaluronidase. Other fillers, such as the PMMA-based Artecoll, are designed to last much longer and are not dissolvable in the same way.
Yaan Clinic's philosophy is that filler aims for balance, not enlargement. The result depends more on design and placement than on how much product is used.
Which filler treatments does Yaan Clinic offer?
Yaan Clinic offers face filler for the forehead, nose, chin, cheekbones, cheeks and smile lines, plus dedicated treatments for the under-eyes and eyelids, neck lines, hands, breast and hip, and Artecoll long-term filler.

What happens during a filler treatment at Yaan Clinic?
A filler visit at Yaan Clinic includes a consultation and facial design, numbing, and injection with an infrared vein finder and blunt cannulas. The injection itself is usually quick, and most people return to daily life soon after.
- Consultation and design – the doctor assesses your proportions and plans where volume will create balance. Several areas are often treated together for a harmonious result.
- Numbing – a numbing agent is applied before the procedure for comfort.
- Vein mapping – an infrared vein detector (AccuVein) shows blood vessels under the skin so the doctor can plan safer entry points.
- Cannula injection – round-ended (blunt) cannulas are used where suitable to reduce the risk of vessel injury, swelling and bruising.
- Check and aftercare – the doctor checks symmetry and gives you aftercare guidance.
Good to know: Filler is a medical procedure. Common short-term effects include swelling, tenderness and bruising. Rare but serious complications, such as vascular occlusion, are why vein mapping, cannulas and an experienced doctor matter. Your doctor will explain risks at consultation.
How long does filler last?
How long filler lasts depends on the product, the area and your metabolism. Yaan Clinic does not publish one fixed figure for its HA fillers; your doctor will explain the expected duration for the product chosen.
As general context, Yaan's Artecoll page compares HA fillers at roughly 6 months to 1.5 years with Artecoll, which it describes as lasting over 10 years after a single treatment. Areas with more movement, such as the lips, tend to break down filler faster than areas over bone, such as the chin or nose.

The consultation fee (₩10,000, or ₩30,000 with a director) is waived if you have a treatment.

Who is a good candidate for dermal filler?
Filler suits adults who want more volume or definition in specific areas, such as a flat forehead, low nose bridge, recessed chin, hollow cheeks or deep smile lines, and who prefer no incision and minimal downtime.
Filler may not be suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active skin infection in the area, or for some medical conditions. If you have had filler before, tell your doctor which product and when, because existing filler can affect the plan. When the main issue is muscle movement rather than volume, botox is often the better tool. If you want a gradual, collagen-based result instead of instant volume, read filler vs collagen stimulator.
How does Yaan Clinic make filler safer?
Yaan Clinic uses an infrared vein finder to see vessels before injecting and round-ended cannulas to lower the chance of vessel injury, swelling and bruising. It also uses only authentic products in the correct dosage.
The clinic also uses a patented skin protector device for cannula entry points, which Yaan describes as reducing entry-point scars and pigmentation. Doctors have treated patients with filler since 2011, and Yaan solely authored the non-surgical petit aesthetics section of the book "Masters of Korean Aesthetic Medicine". Yaan's doctors also hold Restylane and Radiesse key doctor status.
For international patients: Book filler early in your stay so any swelling has time to settle and the doctor can review the result before you fly. Yaan's FAQ suggests scheduling filler 2–3 weeks before a major event such as a wedding. Read downtime and flying home for travel timing.

Frequently asked questions
Will filler make my face look bigger?
Not when it is designed well. Yaan Clinic's approach is that filler aims for balance, not enlargement. The doctor places volume where it restores proportion, and Yaan notes that results depend on design and placement rather than simply the amount of product injected.
Can several areas be treated in one session?
Yes. Yaan Clinic's FAQ notes that multiple areas are often treated together, such as the forehead, nose and chin, because balancing several features usually gives a more natural result than treating one area alone. Your doctor will plan the order and amount at consultation.
Can filler be dissolved if I don't like it?
Many hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase, as Yaan Clinic's FAQ notes. This is not the case for every filler type; PMMA fillers such as Artecoll are long-lasting and are not dissolved this way. Ask your doctor which product is being used.
When should I get filler before a wedding or event?
Yaan Clinic recommends scheduling filler 2 to 3 weeks before a major event. This allows time for any swelling or bruising to settle and for the filler to integrate, and it leaves room for a small touch-up if your doctor recommends one.
Is filler painful?
Yaan Clinic applies numbing before filler treatment, and many fillers also contain lidocaine. Most patients describe pressure or mild discomfort rather than sharp pain. Blunt cannulas, which Yaan uses where suitable, can also reduce the number of entry points needed.
How much does filler cost at Yaan Clinic?
At Yaan Clinic, facial filler starts at ₩290,000 per 1cc (Korean-made). Restylane is ₩390,000, Juvéderm Volbella ₩490,000, Volux ₩590,000 and Voluma ₩690,000 per 1cc. International patients pay the same price as Korean patients, and the final price is confirmed at consultation based on product and amount.
