The Aesthetics of Subtlety": Dr. Hyoungmoon Kim's Tissue Rheology–Based Clinical Strategy for HILO WAVE
A novel category of HA biostimulator — neither a conventional HA filler nor a standard skin booster — HILO WAVE is drawing growing attention among physicians. Unlike the vast majority of HA products, which are elasticity-dominant, HILO WAVE exhibits a distinctive rheological profile with a tan δ greater than 1, indicating that its viscous modulus exceeds its storage modulus. Dr. Hyoungmoon Kim, Medical Director of Maylin Clinic Apgujeong, captures this property with a single Korean expression — "mingming" (gentle, understated, unforced) — and explains its clinical advantages through the framework of tissue rheology. In high-elasticity tissue environments such as the reticular dermis, injecting a high-G′ filler can readily lead to embossing or nodule formation, whereas a viscosity-dominant formulation integrates more naturally within that environment. We sat down with Dr. Kim to discuss the anatomic zones where he finds HILO WAVE particularly advantageous — including the forehead midline, the mid-cheek diagonal depression (often called the "Indian band" in Korea), and the breast contour — along with his EBD combination protocols and his ongoing research with Prof. Kyunghee Byun's team at Gachon University on the pigmentation-modulating effects of HILO WAVE in a photoaged animal model.
