ULTRACOL uses biodegradable polydioxanone (PDO) microparticles. Its Korean product information describes temporary improvement of bilateral nasolabial folds. It is discussed when nasolabial folds and tissue loss are the concern, with suitability based on skin thickness and the cause of the fold. For an under-eye request, suitability and limits are explained separately from the nasolabial-fold product information.

How does ULTRACOL differ from similar treatments?

PDO microparticles are different from inserting PDO lifting threads. Sharing a material family does not mean the procedures or results are the same. Like the PLLA in Sculptra, it cannot be dissolved with an enzyme the way HA filler can, but the ingredient and form differ, so the plans are not the same. The number of threads from a thread lift cannot be compared directly with ULTRACOL amount or sessions.

When can I assess results from ULTRACOL?

ULTRACOL uses PDO microparticles and does not follow the mechanical lifting process of an inserted thread. We assess folds and tissue after early swelling settles, then review progress over weeks to months. During this period we also check for persistent nodules or lumps that seem to be growing.

Without inserting a thread, injection can still sting or feel pressured. Comfort measures depend on the formulation and sites. A previous thread-lift experience does not predict exactly how this treatment will feel.

What is recovery and aftercare for ULTRACOL?

Monitor persistent nodules as well as bruising and temporary bumps. PDO particles cannot be dissolved like HA filler. Avoid trying to massage out a lump; redness or enlargement needs review.

What should I disclose before ULTRACOL?

Distinguish previously inserted threads from injected PDO products in your history. Mention the sites, dates, lumps and inflammation. An under-eye request needs assessment beyond the product information for nasolabial folds.

How do I choose a clinic for ULTRACOL 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 “Consult about fold depth and tissue loss, with attention to skin thickness and the underlying cause of the crease”. 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.

the qd standard

The same treatment, never the same plan.

Rather than a fashionable name or a fixed package, we weigh the structure found at examination, safety, recovery and the limits within one plan.

DIAGNOSIS FIRST
Cause before name
We first separate out the tissue and the function behind your concern.
LESS, PRECISE
Only as much as needed
Rather than an excessive change, we plan the smallest scope with a clear role.
HONEST LIMIT

We explain the change you can expect, the alternatives, individual differences and the risks.

Please read this before treatment

Monitor persistent nodules as well as bruising and temporary bumps. PDO particles cannot be dissolved like HA filler. Avoid trying to massage out a lump; redness or enlargement needs review.
Avoid strong irritation, overheating and strenuous exercise while the skin settles. Follow your instructions for washing and makeup.
Massage and pressure advice differs by product. Follow your clinician’s instructions rather than another product’s routine.

Safety & considerations

Possible reactions

Infection, persistent nodules, unevenness, inflammation or allergic reactions can occur.
Injections carry rare but serious risks including vascular injury or blockage and tissue damage.

Before treatment

Disclose pregnancy or breastfeeding, allergies, immune conditions, medicines, previous fillers and threads.
Active inflammation or infection at the site needs assessment before treatment is scheduled.

Worsening pain, pale or mottled skin, visual symptoms or breathing difficulty need urgent medical attention. Outcomes and duration vary; a specific result is not guaranteed.
