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.

[ASLS KOREA 2026 Spring ②] 'Is It Really Safe?' — In the Skin Booster Market, the First Question Physicians Ask Is Changing

 This is part two of our on-site coverage from the ASLS KOREA 2026 Spring Congress. The skin booster and drug delivery sections drew as much attention as the EBD halls. Active ingredients are diversifying rapidly — PCL, PDLLA, CaHA, HA, human acellular dermal matrix, exosomes, TCA — and so are the approaches, spanning injectable and topical formats, biostimulators and hydration- and regeneration-focused formulations. Yet across every booth, the first response from clinicians converged around a single question: "Is it really safe?" As ingredient options diversify, the demand for rigorous validation of nodule risk and adverse events is rising in parallel — a shift that was unmistakable on the exhibition floor. We visited skin booster and drug delivery company booths to report firsthand.  #MedicalAestheticNews #ASLSKOREA2026 #ASLS #VAIM #HIGHERCorporation #BAZBIOMEDIC #Curiosis #reH #Humedix #WiQo #DNCAesthetics #HuonsMeditech #Dexlevo #PrimorisInternational ★ Article Link: http...

[Hands-On] The Power of Quasar Tension from the Scalp! Full-Face ‘SUNNY’ Lifting by Dr. Hyungdon Yoon_Part 1

 Dr. Hyungdon Yoon of Toxnfill Clinic Gangdong Cheonho has released a hands-on demonstration video showcasing his treatment techniques using the Quasar Tip of SUNNY, the premium RF lifting device by SHENB. As the No. 1 user of the Virtue RF tip for two consecutive years (2023 and 2024), Dr. Yoon now highlights the core principles of SUNNY and demonstrates his most effective treatment strategies. According to Dr. Yoon, the Quasar Tip delivers precise targeting and deep thermal energy, working directly on the facial ligaments to regenerate stretched ligaments and create a natural lifting effect. Notably, SUNNY is the first RF device capable of treating the scalp, allowing practitioners to strengthen the scalp ligaments and support the entire face from above — a unique and innovative approach. Dr. Yoon emphasizes that SUNNY improves elasticity without reducing fat, enabling vertical facial shortening and enhanced horizontal lifting without concerns of volume loss. He also highlights t...

Less Pain, Longer Results — The Evolution of Skin Booster Injectors, Derma Shine Duo RF

 Dr. Hoyeon Choi of Clim Clinic is actively utilizing a new multi-needle injector that combines radiofrequency (RF) technology with skin booster treatments. According to Dr. Choi, this device adds RF functionality to the conventional multi-needle injector, creating synergistic effects in drug delivery, skin texture improvement, elasticity enhancement, and extended duration of results. He also highlighted reduced drug loss and less pain compared to manual injections as key advantages. Furthermore, he noted that when combined with existing monopolar RF or HIFU devices, the elasticity improvement effects become even more pronounced, making it a highly recommended option especially for international patients who cannot visit frequently. #MedicalAestheticNews #HuonsMeditech #DermaShine_Duo_RF #ClimClinic_Myeongdong #Dr_HoYeon_Choi ★ Article Link: https://www.aestheticnews.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=10960
