Chaeum Filler in Gangnam, Seoul

How it works

Chaeum is a hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler brand from Hugel, a Korean manufacturer. Like other HA fillers, it is a gel injected beneath the skin to restore volume and smooth folds. The range includes products with different firmness for different depths, which allows the doctor to match the gel to areas such as the cheeks, chin, nasolabial folds or forehead. Being hyaluronic acid, it is gradually metabolised and can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed.

Who it's for

Chaeum filler is typically considered by adults with volume loss, nasolabial folds or mild contour irregularities who prefer a reversible HA option. Dr. Yang Jeong-hwa, a board-certified dermatologist and director at the Sinsa Main Branch, has served as a key doctor for Hugel Chaeum filler.

Planning around your trip to Seoul

Schedule filler toward the start of your stay so early swelling settles and a review is possible. Avoid long saunas for a couple of days, and read flying after filler. See international patients and getting here for practical details.

What is Chaeum filler made of?

Chaeum is a hyaluronic acid filler, a gel based on a molecule naturally found in skin. Products in the range differ in firmness so they can be matched to different areas and depths. Some versions contain lidocaine for comfort during injection.

How is Chaeum different from other HA fillers?

Chaeum works in the same basic way as other hyaluronic acid fillers. Differences between brands relate to gel structure and firmness. The doctor's assessment and technique usually matter more than the brand, and the dermatologist will explain why a particular product is chosen.

Can Chaeum filler be dissolved?

Yes. Because Chaeum is hyaluronic acid, it can generally be dissolved with hyaluronidase if the result is unwanted or a complication such as a vascular problem occurs. This reversibility is one reason HA fillers are commonly chosen.
