Collagen / Volume Booster

Volume Booster Care Instructions

This page summarizes the instructions given during your visit. Please refer to it during your recovery after treatment.

  • 1.Bruising, redness, and swelling may appear at the treated area.
  • The product is dissolved in saline solution and delivered into the deeper layers of the skin through a long, blunt cannula.Compared with treatments injected into shallower layers, such as Botox, the likelihood of bruising, redness, and swelling is therefore somewhat higher.
  • These usually normalize gradually within 3–7 days, so you can simply apply a gentle cold compress and monitor the area.You may wash your face and apply makeup as usual from the next day.
  • 2.The product may form fine clumps that feel like small, slightly bumpy nodules.
  • Even when the product is fully dissolved in saline before injection, various factors can cause small nodules of the product to clump slightly inside the skin and feel bumpy to the touch.The most common cause is not doing the at-home 5/5/5 massage thoroughly enough.
  • 5/5/5 massage: for 5 days after treatment, 5 times a day, massage the treated area for 5 minutes with antibiotic ointment applied to your fingertips.
  • 3.It is normal to feel the volume fill in fully and then gradually diminish over the following days.
  • Because the product is injected dissolved in saline, at first the area may look as fully volumized as if you had received a regular filler.Over the next few days, however, the saline is absorbed and the volume decreases again; then from about 1–2 months onward, collagen and other dermal tissue slowly and gradually form to build volume.Please allow some time and wait patiently.

Things to Be Careful About in Daily Life After Treatment

  • 1.For about 2 weeks, take care to avoid strong stimulation of the skin.(e.g., facial massage, meridian massage, saunas, long baths, strong UV exposure, etc.)
  • 2.Alcohol can trigger inflammatory reactions in the skin, so we recommend abstaining from drinking for about 2 weeks.

If symptoms last longer than expected or feel uncomfortable, please do not manage them on your own — contact us at 02-565-8273.
