Why "Custom Design" Makes Filler Treatment Different
3D Design Filler starts from a different point than a typical filler treatment that simply fills volume area by area. At Repic Clinic in Gangnam, a dual diagnosis with Meta View and Mark-Vu is carried out before every filler treatment. Meta View measures skin tone, pores and pigment distribution in 3D, while Mark-Vu records skin thickness, elasticity, moisture and the location of sagging as numerical values. Based on these two sets of results, the doctor personally designs which areas, such as the cheekbones, cheeks, chin, nasolabial folds, forehead and temples, receive what amount.
Even for the same nasolabial fold, the approach differs depending on whether cheek sagging or loss of subcutaneous fat is the cause. Injecting filler uniformly only into the fold area without a diagnosis can lead to an unnatural result. In this respect, 3D Design Filler assumes that data is secured before treatment.
Scenario 1: In Your 20s, Considering Filler for the First Time
When people in their 20s first consider filler, the reason is mostly contour improvement rather than a lack of volume. Examples are a low nasal bridge line, hollow temples that make the face look tired, or a forehead curve that feels flat. At this age, rather than adding a lot of volume, analyzing facial proportions in 3D and then applying a small amount precisely to the necessary areas is appropriate.
With 3D Design Filler at Repic Clinic in Gangnam, the cheekbones, cheeks, forehead, temples and other areas can be designed individually or in combination. For a first treatment, it is important to review with the doctor, while looking at the diagnostic results, which areas actually need how much attention. Setting priorities based on diagnostic data, rather than hastily treating several areas at once, helps keep a natural result over the long term.
Scenario 2: In Your 30s, Had Filler Before and Considering a Repeat
When people in their 30s consider repeat filler, often the earlier result was not to their liking, or the filler has been absorbed naturally and they are unsure how to maintain the look. Examples include nasolabial folds becoming prominent again, cheek hollowing progressing, or under-eye hollows and dark circles deepening.
At this stage, re-diagnosing the current state of the face comes before simply injecting again. Measuring skin thickness and elasticity with Mark-Vu makes it possible to check numerically how much of the previous filler remains and whether sagging has progressed further. Whether to add under-eye filler or 3D Design Filler that includes the nasolabial folds is also decided according to the diagnostic results. A basic principle of the Repic Clinic design series is that even for the same symptom, the treatment combination changes when the cause is different.
Scenario 3: In Your 40s, Volume Loss and Sagging Progressing Together
In the 40s, loss of subcutaneous fat and skin sagging often progress at the same time, so filler alone has difficulty resolving every change. Filling volume only in the nasolabial area because the folds have deepened can make the face look heavy.
In this scenario, 3D Design Filler is used as one element of a combined design with lifting treatments. Design Lifting at Repic Clinic in Gangnam is an integrated approach that combines Ulthera, Thermage, thread lifting, EMFACE, lifting filler, Botox and others, designed to fit the cause and location of sagging. Volume is supplemented with filler while sagging is improved at the same time with lifting, and which combination is needed is judged by the doctor based on Meta View and Mark-Vu diagnostic data.
Approaches Compared by Scenario
| Situation | Main concern | Suggested approach | Typical areas |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20s / first treatment | Contour improvement, proportion adjustment | Small, precise application after diagnosis, with priorities designed | Forehead, temples, nose, chin |
| 30s / repeat treatment | Dissatisfaction with the previous result, maintenance after absorption | Re-diagnose the current state, then redesign by area | Nasolabial folds, cheeks, under-eyes |
| 40s / volume and sagging together | Keeping a natural sense of dimension | Consider a combined filler and lifting design | Cheekbones, cheeks, nasolabial folds, lifting combinations |

If This Sounds Like You
The most common mistake when considering filler is to decide on one particular area first and request treatment there. In reality, the change in that area often originates in another area. Whether you are in your 20s or 40s, whether it is your first time or a repeat, filler done without data and without a design cannot be expected to guarantee satisfaction.
With 3D Design Filler at Repic Clinic in Gangnam, the current state of the face is checked numerically through the Meta View and Mark-Vu dual diagnosis, and then the doctor personally designs the areas that need attention, such as the cheekbones, cheeks, chin, nasolabial folds, forehead and temples. The principle that diagnosis comes first applies equally to a first treatment in your 20s and to combined care in your 40s.
