Stylage (Premium Filler) Stylage (Premium Filler)

What Is Stylage?

Stylage (STYLAGE) is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler developed by VIVACY of France. It stabilizes hyaluronic acid in gel form and is used to supplement facial hollows and wrinkles while refining volume and contour.

Its distinguishing feature is IPN-Like technology, which adjusts the elasticity and viscosity of the gel differently for each product. Even within the Stylage line, characteristics differ by specific product, so selection is made according to the support and softness needed and the desired outcome.

What Are the Advantages of Stylage?

Products Selected to Match the Desired Change

Different fillers are needed depending on whether a hollow area needs to be clearly supported or whether a smooth, blended result is needed beneath thin skin. Stylage is designed with different degrees of firmness and softness for each product, allowing selection to match what you’re looking for.

Naturalness During Facial Expression

Not only the shape at rest but also how it blends with the surrounding tissue when smiling or speaking matters. Skin thickness and movement are checked, and the necessary volume is supplemented while considering the balance of the entire face.

A Formulation That Also Considers the Injection Device

Mannitol is included with hyaluronic acid stability in mind, and the Bi-SOFT syringe—designed to let the clinician control the injection volume more easily—is used. The degree of swelling or bruising during recovery varies depending on the treatment area, injection volume, and individual response.

How Are These Features Created?

IPN-Like Technology

A technology that interlocks structures formed by linking hyaluronic acid molecules with one another. This structure is used to adjust the gel’s elasticity, viscosity, and cohesivity. Elasticity refers to the force that restores shape after being compressed, viscosity refers to how the gel flows or spreads, and cohesivity refers to the gel’s tendency to hold together.

Product-Specific Physical Properties

Physical properties refer to characteristics such as the firmness and flexibility of the filler gel. Even with the same amount, the resulting shape differs depending on the gel’s properties and the injection location. Rather than fixing a brand to a specific area, the product is determined based on skin condition and the outcome you want.

What Role Does Mannitol Play?

Mannitol is a type of sugar alcohol also found in fruits and vegetables. As an intravenous agent, it is also used to reduce cerebral edema and intracranial pressure through osmotic action.

In fillers, it serves a different role. It is used as an antioxidant ingredient that helps reduce the action of free radicals that damage hyaluronic acid. This formulation considers not only volumizing but also protecting the filler’s ingredients.

Bi-SOFT Syringe

A syringe designed to be easy for the clinician to hold and operate, taking into account the contact surface and center of gravity. It is a tool that helps finely control the injection volume, and is not the name of a filler ingredient.

When Should This Be Considered?

• When hollows on the face create the appearance of shadows
• When reduced volume leaves the face lacking in dimension
• When wrinkles and hollows are a concern together
• When you want a change that blends naturally with the surrounding contour

Hollowing, sagging, and shadows caused by skin tone may require different approaches. The consultation examines the cause first and determines whether a filler is appropriate.

What Criteria Does WayB Use for Selection?

The front view, side profile, and movement during facial expression are checked together. The consultation covers, in detail, the area of greatest concern, the impression you want to maintain, and the degree of change desired.

Skin thickness, existing volume, and the type, location, and timing of any previous filler treatments also affect the plan. The product, injection volume, and depth are determined by considering both the brand’s technical description and the actual characteristics of the product.

How Long Does the Effect Last?

Stylage is designed so that volume is maintained through a stable hyaluronic acid gel structure. Depending on the product and treatment purpose, it can last up to approximately 18 months.

The actual duration varies depending on the product used, treatment area, injection volume, and individual skin condition. The expected duration is explained before treatment based on the product to be used.

Recovery and Precautions

Swelling, bruising, tenderness, and temporary asymmetry may occur. Because swelling can affect the initial shape, progress is monitored to determine whether additional touch-up is needed. The duration of effect varies depending on the specific product, treatment method, and individual condition.

Please do not press firmly on the treated area or massage it on your own; follow the aftercare instructions provided. Please inform us of any prior procedures, allergies, and medications you are taking during your consultation. Complications such as nodules, delayed inflammation, infection, and vascular occlusion may also occur.

If the skin turns pale white or develops a purple, net-like pattern, and pain worsens, please contact the clinic immediately. For sudden vision changes, slurred speech, or weakness in the arms or legs, please call 119 (Korea’s emergency number for fire and ambulance services) or go to the emergency room immediately and also notify the clinic.
