HILO WAVE is an HA-based tissue-restoring product, with 48mg of HA in a 2mL syringe. It is intended for temporary improvement of adult facial wrinkles. It is discussed for fine lines that stand out with dryness and for a natural-looking skin finish, after checking facial wrinkles and skin thickness. Thin, puffiness-prone areas such as under the eyes are assessed separately from general facial wrinkles.

How does HILO WAVE differ from similar treatments?

HILO WAVE and SKINVIVE both use HA, but differ in formulation and intended use. HA content alone does not establish superiority or duration. SKINVIVE’s Korean intended use is fine lines in the cheeks, whereas HILO WAVE is used for temporary improvement of facial wrinkles. A higher HA content per syringe does not automatically reduce the number of sessions.

When can I assess results from HILO WAVE?

HILO WAVE is assessed through facial wrinkles and skin condition after early swelling settles. Immediate hydration or tightness does not establish duration. Dryness-related lines and deeper hollows are considered separately.

HA injection can still sting and feel pressured. Comfort measures depend on the area and sensitivity. Tell us which previous hydration injection caused pain or substantial swelling.

What is recovery and aftercare for HILO WAVE?

Swelling, bruising and injection marks can occur, especially in areas prone to puffiness. Do not rub them flat; confirm washing and makeup instructions. Colour changes, worsening pain or visual symptoms require immediate assessment.

What should I disclose before HILO WAVE?

Bring HA filler and booster names and dates, and describe usual facial puffiness and earlier reactions. Thin under-eye skin needs its own suitability assessment rather than assuming a general facial-wrinkle plan applies. Please also mention any anaesthetic allergy and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

How do I choose a clinic for HILO WAVE in Gangnam, Seoul?

Look at the examination and the plan rather than the treatment name. First, what the clinic checks before deciding — at QD Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, the first thing we look at for this treatment is “Discuss dryness and facial lines, considering the thickness and condition of the skin in each proposed area”. Second, whether it explains why it recommends that scope and method, compared with the alternatives. Third, whether it reviews your progress with you when results are expected. Our doctor goes through these three points at consultation before the treatment is decided.
