Hello.
I am Dr. Kim Dong-young, Director of Cleor Clinic Hongdae Branch.
Have you ever looked in the mirror and noticed that even though you haven't lost weight, the volume in your cheeks is gradually disappearing and your nasolabial folds are becoming more prominent?
"Fillers are immediate, but I'm worried they might look unnatural, and it feels like regular skin boosters aren't enough for fundamental volume restoration.
I'm looking for a way to naturally restore my skin, even if it takes some time, and I'm curious about what options are available."
I frequently hear these concerns in my consultation room.
Facial aging progresses more through the gradual loss of volume and elasticity due to a decrease in dermal collagen than through the formation of surface fine lines.
While fillers create volume through immediate filling, autologous collagen boosters work differently by inducing the skin to produce its own collagen from within, restoring the skin structure itself from the inside out.
The procedure used for this autologous collagen production approach is the Hongdae Olidia 240.
Today, I will explain the principles behind how Olidia induces autologous collagen production, how the 240 and 365 options differ, and how it compares to other collagen boosters like Juvelook.
What is Hongdae Olidia 240?
👉 Hongdae Olidia 240 is a Korean-made autologous collagen booster with PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) developed by LIENJANG, Korea.
It is a domestic procedure that uses uniform micro-particle technology optimized for the characteristics of Korean skin to induce autologous collagen production in the dermis over 6 to 12 weeks.
Olidia is a Korean-made PLLA collagen booster developed based on the technology inherited from Sculptra.
Approved by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, it is designed with a formulation tailored to the skin thickness and skeletal structure of Koreans.
Its uniform micro-particle technology reduces the risk of nodules while providing natural-looking results.
The domestic Olidia line is divided into three types based on content: 120mg, 240mg, and 365mg.
120mg is used as a thin-viscosity pure skin booster, while 240mg and 365mg are used as collagen boosters.
At our Hongdae branch, we offer the 240mg and 365mg options, which have distinct collagen booster characteristics.
How PLLA induces autologous collagen production
👉 PLLA, the core ingredient of Olidia, restores the skin structure from the inside out over 6 to 12 weeks through four stages: dermal penetration, fibroblast stimulation, autologous collagen production, and natural degradation and excretion.
Dermal penetration and uniform distribution
The injected PLLA particles are uniformly distributed in the dermis or subcutaneous layer.
Thanks to Olidia's uniform micro-particle technology, the particles do not clump together, which lowers the risk of nodule formation.
Fibroblast stimulation
PLLA particles stimulate fibroblasts (cells that produce collagen) deep within the dermis.
This stimulation increases cellular activity and begins to transmit signals for collagen production.
Autologous collagen production
Stimulated fibroblasts begin to create new collagen.
As collagen gradually accumulates over 6 to 12 weeks after the procedure, volume and elasticity are restored from within the skin.
Natural degradation and excretion
Over time, PLLA particles are naturally broken down by the body and finally excreted through respiration as carbon dioxide.
Only the autologous collagen remains without any foreign body sensation or traces, resulting in safe and natural outcomes.
Differences in approach compared to fillers and regular skin boosters
👉 Unlike the immediate filling method of fillers or the ingredient supply method of regular skin boosters, Olidia induces the skin to produce its own collagen, resulting in differences in naturalness and longevity.
Difference from fillers
Fillers involve injecting hyaluronic acid into tissues to create immediate volume.
While clear filling is visible immediately after the procedure, it is stabilized with a cross-linking agent (BDDE), which may feel like an artificial volume, and it is reabsorbed after the maintenance period ends.
Olidia does not create immediate volume but induces the skin to produce collagen itself, characterized by results that settle naturally over time.
Difference from regular skin boosters
Regular skin boosters supply hyaluronic acid or various active ingredients to the dermis to improve hydration and skin condition.
While this is effective for condition management by filling in ingredients, it is difficult to achieve fundamental volume restoration through collagen regeneration.
Olidia is an approach that restores the skin structure itself by inducing autologous collagen production rather than just filling in ingredients.
Difference in maintenance period
Fillers generally last 12 to 18 months, while regular skin boosters often last 3 to 6 months.
Due to the characteristics of the PLLA ingredient, Olidia has been shown to last up to approximately 24 months, and global clinical trials have reported that 80% of respondents maintained results for 24 months.
Differences between PLLA (Olidia) and PDLLA (Juvelook)
👉 Olidia (PLLA) and Juvelook (PDLLA), which are frequently compared in the collagen booster category, differ in ingredient structure, degradation speed, timing of volume perception, and maintenance period, so the choice depends on the management goal.
Difference in ingredient structure
Olidia is pure L-polylactic acid (PLLA).
Juvelook is polylactic acid (PDLLA) with a mixture of L and D forms.
Difference in degradation speed
PLLA has a slow degradation speed, providing stable and long-lasting results.
PDLLA has a faster degradation speed, so collagen stimulation occurs relatively quickly.
Timing of volume perception
Juvelook contains hyaluronic acid, so initial volume is visible immediately after the procedure.
Olidia does not provide immediate volume and settles gradually over 6 to 12 weeks, making it suitable for those who prefer a natural flow of change.
Maintenance period
Juvelook generally lasts about 12 months.
Olidia has been shown to last up to 24 months, making it a frequent choice for those who want long-term maintenance from a single procedure.
Differences between Olidia 240 and 365
👉 The Olidia 240 and 365 options offered at our Hongdae branch differ in PLLA content, application area, and volume intensity, so the choice depends on the area and purpose of treatment.
Olidia 240 - Collagen Booster (Broad area, shallow approach)
With 240mg of PLLA content, this is a medium-viscosity collagen booster line.
It is applied uniformly in shallow layers over broad areas of the face, making it effective for overall elasticity recovery, skin texture improvement, and fine line reduction.
When performed as a full-face treatment, it helps restore the collagen condition of the entire face, making it suitable for those who want fundamental skin recovery.
Olidia 365 - Specialized for volume restoration
This is a high-content 365mg PLLA line specialized for volume restoration.
It is applied intensively to areas where volume has been lost, such as the side cheeks, front cheeks, and nasolabial folds, to restore both volume and lines through autologous collagen production.
It is an option suitable for those who want natural volume restoration without fillers.
Selection criteria
If the goal is overall elasticity and skin condition recovery, 240 is suitable; if the goal is volume restoration in specific areas, 365 is suitable.
Combining both options is also frequently considered, and the decision is made based on the condition of the area and the management goal during the pre-procedure consultation.
Hongdae Olidia 240 Lineup
👉 At our Hongdae branch, we offer Olidia in two options: the 240mg collagen booster line and the 365mg volume restoration line.
Results are confirmed gradually as autologous collagen settles over 6 to 12 weeks after the procedure, and the effects can last up to 24 months depending on individual skin conditions.
Generally, repeating the procedure at 4 to 6-week intervals allows for stable accumulation of collagen regeneration responses.
We will examine the option that best suits your skin condition, management goals, and volume restoration areas during your pre-procedure consultation.
Who is Olidia suitable for?
Those who want natural volume restoration rather than the immediate filling of fillers
Those whose volume in the side cheeks, front cheeks, and nasolabial folds is gradually disappearing
Those who want a fundamental approach to restoring the skin structure from the inside out
Those who want long-term maintenance from a single procedure
Those who prefer a Korean-made option optimized for the characteristics of Korean skin
Those who want a natural flow of results that settle over time
Side effects and things to know in advance about Hongdae Olidia 240
👉 Although Hongdae Olidia 240 is a verified procedure approved by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, individual skin conditions, the hydration process, and the practitioner's placement judgment significantly affect the stability of the results.
Immediately after the procedure, mild redness, slight swelling, thin bruising, and injection marks (embossing) may be present for a few days.
These generally resolve naturally within a few days to a week.
For Olidia, the hydration (reconstitution) process must be performed accurately before the procedure so that PLLA particles are uniformly distributed and the risk of nodule formation is minimized.
The hydration process, injection layer, and uniform distribution placement are determined by the practitioner and significantly affect the results, so the procedure is performed under the guidance of experienced medical staff.
If injected into blood vessels, tissue necrosis or serious side effects may occur, so use is prohibited in the glabella and around the eyes, and use is also restricted in the vermilion border of the lips.
Since the collagen response settles over 6 to 12 weeks, there may not be a significant immediate change right after the procedure, but the results will become progressively clearer over time.
For one week after the procedure, it is best to refrain from strong massages, saunas, strenuous exercise, drinking, and smoking for stable recovery, and gently massaging the treated area for about 5 minutes every day helps with uniform distribution.
If any of the following apply to you, please inform us during your consultation as the procedure may be restricted or require prior confirmation.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
If there is active herpes, infection, or wounds in the treatment area
If you have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease or keloid tendency
If you are regularly taking anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents, or have a bleeding tendency
If you have a recent history of other filler or thread procedures in the treatment area
If you want the procedure in the glabella, around the eyes, or the vermilion border of the lips (prohibited areas)
⚠️ Precautions before and after Olidia procedure
👉 Olidia is a procedure where result uniformity and collagen response stability depend on the pre-procedure hydration process and post-procedure massage management.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. When can I see the results of Hongdae Olidia 240?
There may not be a significant change immediately after the procedure.
The full-scale autologous collagen production response settles over 6 to 12 weeks after the procedure, and clear volume and elasticity recovery are confirmed from the 3-month mark.
Q. Should I choose Olidia 240 or 365?
It depends on the treatment area and purpose.
If the goal is overall elasticity and skin condition recovery, the 240 collagen booster is suitable; if the goal is volume restoration for side cheeks, front cheeks, or nasolabial folds, the 365 volume restoration line is suitable.
Q. Which is better, Olidia or Juvelook?
It is difficult to compare them simply because their ingredients and characteristics are different.
Juvelook has faster initial volume perception and a maintenance period of about 12 months, while Olidia settles gradually over 6 to 12 weeks and lasts up to 24 months. If you need quick results and short maintenance, Juvelook is suitable; if you need long-term maintenance and a natural flow, Olidia is suitable.
Q. Can I receive fillers and Olidia together?
The two procedures have different principles and can be performed in parallel.
If you create immediate volume with fillers and pursue autologous collagen regeneration with Olidia, you can achieve both immediate results and long-term recovery simultaneously.
The interval between procedures will be decided during the pre-procedure consultation.
Q. How much pain is involved in the procedure?
It is performed after applying anesthetic cream, so there is no severe pain.
Since it is injected into multiple points in small amounts with a thin needle, the burden is relatively low, and any soreness after the procedure will resolve naturally.
Q. How long does the maintenance period last?
Due to the characteristics of the PLLA ingredient, results lasting up to 24 months have been confirmed.
While long-term maintenance is possible with a single procedure, the maintenance period varies depending on individual skin conditions and collagen production ability.
Q. Why should I massage after the procedure?
The purpose is to help the PLLA particles be uniformly distributed in the treated area.
A gentle massage for about 5 minutes every day for 3 to 5 days after the procedure is recommended, and uniform distribution plays an important role in preventing nodule formation and achieving natural results.
Q. From what age is it good to start?
There is no set age, but since collagen begins to decrease from the late 20s, many people start in their late 20s to 30s from the perspective of early aging prevention, and it is a procedure actively considered in the late 30s to 40s when clear volume loss or nasolabial folds have set in.
Facial aging is more fundamentally caused by the loss of volume and elasticity due to dermal collagen decrease than by surface fine lines.
While fillers create volume through immediate filling, autologous collagen boosters are a fundamental approach that induces the skin to produce collagen itself, restoring the skin structure from the inside out.
Hongdae Olidia 240 is a PLLA-based autologous collagen booster developed by the Korean company LIENJANG, and it is a domestic procedure characterized by natural collagen regeneration and results lasting up to 24 months using uniform micro-particle technology optimized for Korean skin.
At our Hongdae branch, we operate two options: the Olidia 240 collagen booster line and the 365 volume restoration line.
240 is suitable for collagen regeneration and skin condition recovery over broad areas of the face, and 365 is suitable for approaching natural volume restoration in areas where volume has been lost, such as the side cheeks, front cheeks, and nasolabial folds.
Although they are the same PLLA ingredient, two options are available depending on the content and application area, so you can choose according to your areas of interest and management goals.
We will personally confirm the direction that fits your skin condition and management goals during the consultation.

부담이 상대적으로 적고 시술 후 뻐근함은 자연스럽게 정리됩니다.
Q. 유지 기간은 얼마나 되나요?
PLLA 성분 특성으로 최대 24개월까지 유지되는 결과가 확인됩니다.
한 번의 시술로 장기 유지가 가능하지만
개인 피부 상태와 콜라겐 생성 능력에 따라 유지 기간이 달라집니다.
Q. 시술 후 마사지는 왜 하나요?
PLLA 입자가 시술 부위에 균일하게 분포되도록 돕는 목적입니다.
시술 후 3~5일간 매일 5분 정도 부드러운 마사지가 권장되며,
균일 분포는 결절 발생 예방과 자연스러운 결과에 중요한 역할을 합니다.
Q. 어느 나이대부터 받는 게 좋나요?
정해진 나이는 없지만 20대 후반부터 콜라겐이 감소하기 시작하기 때문에
초기 노화 예방 관점에서는 20대 후반~30대부터 시작하시는 분들이 많고,
뚜렷한 볼륨 감소나 팔자가 자리 잡은 30대 후반~40대에는 적극 검토되는 시술입니다.
얼굴 노화는 표면 잔주름보다 진피 콜라겐 감소로 인한
볼륨과 탄력 상실이 더 근본적인 원인입니다.
필러가 즉각적인 채움으로 볼륨을 만드는 방식이라면
자가 콜라겐 부스터는 피부 스스로 콜라겐을 생성하도록 유도해
피부 구조 자체를 안쪽부터 회복시키는 근본 접근입니다.
