PCL Filler
PCL Filler
PCL (polycaprolactone) is a material that has long been used as a surgical suture. Ithas been confirmed to gradually degradeand be completely absorbedwithin the body, and based on this safety profile, its use has expanded to the field of cosmetic surgery.
PCL filler consists of very small PCL beads suspended in a gel (CMC, carboxymethyl cellulose). Immediately after injection, the gel fills the treated area to restore volume, and subsequently, the PCL stimulates collagen production.
So the mechanism by which volume is maintained is different. With hyaluronic acid fillers, the injected material remains in place, but with PCL fillers, newly produced collagen fills that space. It becomes more firmly established over time, and lasts that much longer.
Why PCL Filler
Three Ways PCL Fillers Differ
Although they share the same name, "filler,"
the way they create and maintain volume differs.
Immediate and long-lasting effects at the same time
In the early stages of the procedure, the CMC gel provides volume, and after two months, the PCL stimulates the production of new endogenous collagen, which then provides volume.
Another Benefit of Collagen Fillers
Type 1 and Type 3 collagen, produced in response to PCL stimulation, not only provide a volumizing effect but also support the dermal layer of the skin, thereby improving elasticity.

Long-lasting
While standard hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 6–12 months, PCL fillers last for 18 months or longer. They are recommended for those who find it difficult to visit the clinic frequently or who want long-lasting results from a single treatment.
How It Works
How PCL Fillers Work
: Immediate Initial Volume Effect Achieved with CMC Gel
, PCL particles stimulate collagen production while the CMC gel is absorbed
Newly formed collagen maintains volume, and
PCL particles gradually break down and are absorbed
Treatment Areas
PCL Filler Treatment Areas
It is primarily used in areas that require volume and contouring over a large surface area.
The injection depth and volume vary depending on the area.
We do not use PCL fillers on the lips or under the eyes.
This is because the skin is thin in these areas, so the particles may be felt.
We recommend using a soft hyaluronic acid filler for these areas.
Recommended For
We recommend this to people like this
For those who find it difficult to visit the hospital frequently
and are looking for a long-lasting treatment
For those who feel that even after repeated filler treatments,
the results wear off quickly
For those who want to boost volume and improve skin elasticity with "

The Episode Difference
Why It's Different
Every process has its own unique reason.
01
As Is - To Be - Design
We analyze your current facial features and design a look that best suits your desired appearance.
ANALYSIS02
Check the exact product and quantity right before your eyes at
.
We verify the authenticity of the products used before the procedure and open them in your presence, and we transparently disclose the volume (cc) being injected.
RELIABILITY03
, change becomes clearer when it is documented.
Since this is a long-lasting procedure, keeping records is important. By documenting the procedure details and changes in your face in an online report, you can objectively track your progress over several months.

Providing Treatment Reports
Notice
Please follow these guidelines after your procedure.
-
1
On the day of the procedure, please avoid touching or rubbing the injection site vigorously. It takes time for the shape to settle.
-
2
Please avoid alcohol, strenuous exercise, and saunas for 24 hours after the procedure. Doing so may cause swelling and bruising to worsen.
-
3
Please avoid vigorous massage, skin care treatments, and hot compresses on the treated area for two weeks following the procedure. If a separate massage is required, we will provide specific instructions after the procedure.
-
4
Swelling usually subsides within 2 to 3 days, and bruising usually subsides within 1 to 2 weeks.
-
5
The volume immediately after the procedure is due to the gel; some of it is absorbed and the volume decreases. Afterward, collagen builds up, and the final result is achieved over a period of 2 to 3 months.
-
6
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, there is no dissolving agent. Therefore, we recommend starting with a smaller amount than needed and then adding more after observing the results.
-
7
If you experience severe pain, paleness, or a change in skin color at the treatment site, please contact the hospital immediately. These symptoms require prompt attention.
