The L Injection for a Smaller Face: A Pre-Consultation Checklist for Better Results

Hello.

I am Hanmi Jung, Director of Heal House Gangnam Branch.

Recently, many people want to refine a wide, heavy-looking facial line without bone-shaving surgery and

achieve a smaller face where their natural features stand out.

Especially among those who want a natural, harmonious facial line from any angle,

interest in personalized contouring treatments is growing.

Heal House addresses this with its signature treatment, 'The L injection.'

It might be one of the most popular treatments among our staff.

However, there are things you must know before a satisfying treatment.

Please check the pre-consultation checklist and we hope you have a highly satisfying treatment.

-------------------

The L injection is not a treatment that simply reduces facial volume,

but a customized contour design that distinguishes which areas to reduce and which to enhance.

It combines five ingredients in a proprietary ratio for contour improvement,

and uses ingredients that relieve pain, reducing discomfort while enhancing results,

making it Heal House's own signature treatment.

-------------------

[Approach and Design]

General treatment - Fragmented approach focused on problem areas like the jawline

The L injection - Comprehensive analysis of face shape, skin condition, and asymmetry, with 1:1 customized design

[Ingredients and Know-How]

General treatment - Varies by clinic and treatment method

The L injection - Applies Heal House's own proprietary know-how in blending 5 ingredients

[Treatment Goal]

General treatment - Contour refinement and volume reduction in specific areas

The L injection - Distinguishes areas to reduce and areas to enhance, improving overall facial balance

[Treatment Convenience]

General treatment - Pain varies depending on treatment method and individual

The L injection - Minimizes discomfort during treatment by blending pain-relieving ingredients

-------------------

While general contouring treatments focus on reducing fat in specific areas,

The L injection reduces pain through its proprietary blend of 5 ingredients

and is a premium 1:1 customized treatment that balances the overall face.

-------------------

The L injection is not a standardized treatment performed on the same areas and in the same way for everyone.

It is not a standardized procedure.

The injection sites and design vary completely depending on the individual's face shape, skin condition, bone structure, and left-right asymmetry.

The treatment location and design change completely.

[Face with Prominent Cheekbones]

We determine whether the issue is the cheekbone itself or the influence of surrounding tissues and the outer face.

Rather than simply reducing the face, we precisely divide the areas around the cheekbones that need reduction

from those that should be maintained, and design accordingly.

[Face with Developed Jaw and Lower Face]

We check the degree of development of the jaw muscles and the edges of the face.

Considering both the wide-looking lower face from the front and the facial line from the side,

we aim for a smooth, slender contour.

[Face with Wide-Looking Temples]

As the temple muscles thicken with aging, the upper face can appear wider.

Rather than just refining the jaw, the overall proportion of the temples and lower face should be examined together.

[Face with Different Left and Right Sizes]

When asymmetry occurs due to a habit of chewing on one side or a difference in muscle development,

we analyze the degree of asymmetry rather than applying the same treatment to both sides,

and establish a plan to restore balance.

-------------------

The L precisely analyzes each individual's skeletal and muscle development, including the cheekbones, lower face, temples, and asymmetry,

and applies a customized design.

In a study of 24 women in their 30s to 50s,

a 4.7% reduction in facial area and a 4.3% reduction in left-right width were confirmed.

It has also received a patent for its unique composition.

-------------------

For satisfactory results, sufficient communication between the dermatologist and the patient is important.

If you think about the following in advance before visiting the clinic, you can have a much more detailed consultation without hesitation.

What area do you want to improve the most?

Organize your concerns specifically — whether your jaw and lower face look wide, your cheekbones or temples stand out,

or you are worried about left-right asymmetry.

Do you have a direction for the jawline you want?

It is helpful to communicate your preferences, whether you want a sharp V-line at all costs

or simply want to naturally refine the contours of your face.

It is good to communicate your desired direction.

Have you had any contouring procedures in the past?

Please share the type and timing of previous treatments you have received,

as well as what you were satisfied with and what you were not satisfied with.

Are you taking any medications or health supplements?

If you are currently taking any medications, you must inform us in advance.

In particular, anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs should not be stopped without medical advice.

When are your important events?

If you have important events such as a wedding or photoshoot,

it greatly helps in planning the treatment timing and follow-up schedule.

I actually appreciate it when you ask me all these questions in detail before the consultation.

Because the more I know about you, the better the results will be.

-------------------

For the optimal face design,

please provide the medical team with detailed information about: ① the area you wish to improve, ② the desired jawline, ③ your past treatment history, ④ any medications you are taking, and ⑤ important upcoming events.

Please communicate this in detail to your dermatologist.

-------------------

The L at Heal House is performed after analyzing the facial contours and asymmetry,

and considering the overall balance.

[Treatment Process]

Step 1: Facial Contour Analysis

The facial shape is carefully examined from the front, oblique, and side views,

and left-right asymmetry is also checked.

Step 2: Custom Design and Treatment

Based on your facial features, skeletal structure, and skin condition,

the areas to reduce and the areas to preserve are distinguished for a balanced treatment.

Step 3: Check the Change in Jawline

We confirm that the jawline has become smooth and

the left-right symmetry has naturally changed.

-------------------

[Tips for a Comfortable Recovery]

① The injection site may appear temporarily swollen or red immediately after the procedure.

② Do not press or rub the treated area vigorously.

③ Massage and meridian treatments should be avoided for the period advised by your dermatologist.

④ On the day of treatment, please refrain from drinking alcohol and strenuous exercise.

⑤ Drink an adequate amount of water as usual to help reduce swelling.

After custom design, the treatment is performed safely.

There may be temporary swelling after the procedure,

but recovery can be aided by drinking water.

Massage that applies strong pressure to the treated area should be avoided for a while.

-------------------

The L precisely analyzes your facial bone structure and features,

distinguishes between the areas that need to be reduced and those that need to be preserved,

and creates a jawline that naturally reveals your inherent charm.

If you want a smaller face that suits you,

Rather than simply comparing procedure types, the dermatologist should assess your face shape and asymmetry

It is important to first check how thoroughly they analyze and explain things.

I brought before-and-after photos for reference.

You can see that the lines have become smoother, right?

-------------------

Q. What is the biggest difference from general contouring procedures?

Rather than simply reducing volume, it comprehensively analyzes your face shape, skeletal structure,

and the degree of asymmetry,

and it is a 1:1 customized design procedure that delicately distinguishes between areas to reduce and areas to preserve.

Heal House's own proprietary know-how of blending five ingredients is applied.

Q. Is the procedure very painful?

The L contains ingredients that enhance effectiveness along with ingredients that alleviate pain.

The ingredients are combined together.

Thanks to this, compared to general injection procedures, the discomfort and pain you feel during the procedure are

greatly reduced, allowing you to receive the procedure comfortably.

Q. Are there results that have been proven numerically?

A. Yes, as a result of measuring 3D stereoscopic images of 24 women in their 30s to 50s,

a significant change was confirmed, with the total facial area decreasing by approximately 4.7% and the facial width by approximately 4.3%.

A significant change was confirmed.

Q. Can I return to daily life immediately after the procedure?

Immediately after the procedure, the injection site may temporarily swell or become red,

but it does not significantly interfere with daily life.

However, for quick recovery, please avoid alcohol and strenuous exercise on the day of the procedure,

During the period advised by your dermatologist, avoid pressing the treated area strongly or

or receiving meridian massage.

Q. If I have an important event like a wedding coming up, when should I get the procedure?

Recovery speed, including swelling reduction, varies by individual.

Therefore, if you mention important events (wedding, photo shoot, etc.) during the consultation,

we will customize the optimal procedure timing and follow-up plan tailored to that schedule.
