Chaeum Filler in Seoul

Chaeum Filler explained

Chaeum is a Korean brand of cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler. The name comes from the Korean word 채움, meaning to fill. It is offered in different firmness levels for different areas and is usually priced as a value option.

How Chaeum Filler works

The doctor injects HA gel with a fine needle or blunt cannula into the right layer for the area. The gel adds volume and binds water, which lifts hollows and smooths folds. Firmer gels support the nose and chin, and softer gels suit the lips. The body breaks HA down over time, and it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed.
