Hollowing and early sagging—natural volume from your own collagen
When under-eye areas and cheeks hollow and nasolabial folds deepen, the face can start to look tired. At Cellin Clinic Myeongdong, hollow areas and skin firmness are assessed before Ultracol's PDO microspheres are injected into the dermis to support your own collagen production.

Procedure at a glance
What concerns is Ultracol in Myeongdong used for?
Ultracol is a collagen booster that injects PDO microspheres into the dermis to support your own collagen production, used for under-eye and cheek hollows, nasolabial folds, and reduced elasticity. The procedure takes about 30 minutes, and daily activities can usually be resumed immediately.
What this procedure can address
A focused procedure for the concern you want to change.
A collagen booster that builds volume and firmness gradually through your own collagen
Improved skin elasticity
Promotes collagen production within the skin, helping create firmer, healthier-looking skin.
Natural volume formation
Gently fills hollow areas, which may help improve facial contour and dimension naturally.
Improved elasticity & fine lines
Collagen production may help improve firmness and fine lines, and may also support pore and oil-moisture care.
Change that builds over time
As your own collagen forms gradually, natural volume and firmness can be expected over time; longevity varies by individual.
About the procedure
When volume starts to fade and firmness follows
With age, hollows under the eyes and in the cheeks and deeper nasolabial and mouth-area lines can make sagging and volume loss more noticeable together. Ultracol is a collagen booster that processes PDO—an absorbable suture material used for over 30 years—into fine spherical particles for injection.
Once injected into the dermis, PDO microspheres stimulate surrounding fibroblasts and promote your own collagen production, helping volume and firmness build naturally over time. PDO gradually biodegrades in the body, and products differ by particle size so the choice can be matched to the area and concern.

01What is Ultracol and what is its main ingredient?+
Ultracol is a collagen booster that processes PDO (polydioxanone), used as a suture material for 30 years, into fine spherical particles (microspheres) for injection. Injected into the dermis, it stimulates surrounding fibroblasts and promotes your own collagen production, which may help improve volume and elasticity.
02How do Ultracol 100 and 200 differ?+
The main difference is PDO particle size. Ultracol 200 has coarser particles than the 100 and is designed to support volume and deeper collagen production, so it is mainly used in areas that need volume and contouring, such as under-eye hollows, deep nasolabial folds, and hollow cheeks.
03Which concerns is Ultracol suited to?+
Through your own collagen production, it may help with elasticity, wrinkles, and volume, and by improving the skin's internal environment it may also support pore and oil-moisture care. It can be considered when age-related sagging and hollowing are both a concern.
04Can nodules form after Ultracol?+
PDO microspheres are manufactured as uniform, smooth spheres to reduce clumping within the skin tissue. Responses still vary by individual, so precise injection matched to the area and depth is important.
