Types of Korean Hyaluronic Acid: Density and Lidocaine — How to Choose the Right Filler?

Understanding Density and Lidocaine in Korean Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: How to Choose the Right Filler?

Introduction

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is the most versatile and in-demand dermal filler in aesthetic medicine. But not all syringes are created equal: density (cross-linking) determines the filler’s lifting or hydrating power, while lidocaine enhances patient comfort by reducing pain during injection.

In this article, you’ll learn how to choose the best Korean hyaluronic acid fillers for each treatment by understanding:

• The role of density — Light/Fine, Deep, and Volume/Sub-Q.

• Pros and cons of fillers with or without lidocaine.

• Recommended injection areas and top Korean brands like Revolax, Neuramis, and Regenovue.

• Contraindications and best practices for safe use.

• FAQs from both professionals and patients.

Key Concepts

• Light / Fine Density: Soft gel, low viscosity → ideal for superficial wrinkles.

• Deep / Dermal Density: More cohesive gel → suitable for nasolabial folds, lips, moderate wrinkles.

• Volume / Sub-Q Density: High-viscosity gel → provides strong structural support for cheeks, chin, jawline.

• Lidocaine (0.3%): Built-in local anesthetic; reduces discomfort and erythema.

• Cross-linking: Degree of HA bonds that defines gel firmness and longevity.

Pros and Cons of Different Korean Hyaluronic Acid Fillers Types

Type	Advantages	Drawbacks
Light / Fine (± Lidocaine)	Hydrates the skin, ultra-natural results, minimal swelling	Shorter duration (6–8 months), no volumizing effect
Deep / Derm (w/ Lidocaine)	Versatile; treats folds and enhances lips with comfort	Requires precise technique to avoid overfilling
Volume / Sub-Q (w/ Lidocaine)	Provides strong lift and definition; great for non-surgical facial sculpting	May be visible under thin skin; higher cost
Lidocaine	✅ Less pain, better patient experience, fewer bruises	⚠️ Slightly higher cost; not suitable for allergic patients

FAQ

How long does a Light filler last compared to Volume? Light fillers last about 6–8 months; Volume fillers may last 12+ months due to stronger cross-linking.

Can I combine different filler densities? Yes — professionals often layer fillers in different skin depths (called “layering technique”).

Does lidocaine affect results? No — it only improves comfort, without altering HA effectiveness.

What if I’m allergic to lidocaine? There are filler options without lidocaine, but you might need topical numbing cream.

When will I see the final results? Immediately after treatment, with full settling within 7–10 days.
