Injection contouring is considered an excellent replacement for surgical interventions. Using various fillers, you can form the desired relief and model the contours. The popularity of gel fillers provokes regular replenishment of the product range of filler products. Recently, Korean manufacturers have been actively offering their developments. Dermaren is one of them. Gels Dermaren Lumi, AZ are not inferior to European analogues in quality, efficiency and product safety are at the highest level.
Description of drugs
The manufacturer of Dermaren fillers is Across from South Korea. Products for dermal filling are created using the latest technologies, which allows you to achieve excellent results and compete with famous brands of similar products.
The composition of Dermaren filling products is classic for new generation substances: sodium hyaluronate of non-animal origin, saline solution, stabilizer. All gels in the basic line of this manufacturer are supplemented with lidocaine. This minimizes discomfort during the procedure.
Hyaluronic acid used in Dermaren fillers is characterized by a special structure: spherical molecules united in long chains that make up highly organized, dense lattices. This allows the substance to be more plastic, remain in tissues longer, and ensure high control over the administration process. Dermaren gels are medium density fillers.
Dermaren products are packaged in hermetically sealed 1.1 ml syringes. The box contains 1 unit of substance, a 27–30G needle, and instructions with a description.
Types of Dermapen and their characteristics
Impact speed and needle length are the main differences in the machine models. The most popular models include:
- Dr. Pen Purple (manufacturer: South Korea). The length of the needle feed can be adjusted from 0.25 to 2 cm for use on different parts of the body. The cartridge contains 12 needles. The speed of the needles can be adjusted by selecting one of five in the range from 1500 to 5400 beats per minute.
- My M. Depending on the model, there are 3 or 5 types of speed adjustment, the maximum of which is 1800 beats per minute. The length of the needles can also vary from 0.25 to 2 cm. A simplified version is the Chinese one, which works similar to the Korean one. The difference lies in the ability to adjust the speed of the needles: there are 3 options, the maximum of which is 1600 beats per minute.
- Dermapen UGIOGO EDR-02. The presence of a powerful engine and a metal case makes the device quite wear-resistant. The maximum speed that can be adjusted is 2400 beats per minute.
Dermapen (reviews of the procedure will be listed below) is selected individually depending on the cosmetic problem being solved. The procedures can be performed at home, and their effectiveness will depend on the correctness of its implementation and the type of vitamin cocktails used. For home care, it is recommended to use needle lengths of 0.5 cm for the face and 1 cm for the body.
Indications and effectiveness of use
Dermaren fillers are designed for corrective work on aesthetic problems. The drugs are used to eliminate anatomical imperfections and age-related defects. Dermaren gels have a “shape retention” effect. After the natural biodegradation of the material, the tissues do not immediately return to their original position, but remain in a more perfect position.
Dermaren preparations in the skillful hands of a cosmetologist are capable of:
- create volume, forming the desired contours;
- stimulate the normal course of natural processes, maintaining the shape and tone of tissues;
- attract and retain moisture, providing decent skin quality;
- positively influence regeneration and resistance of intracellular structures, blocking the occurrence of pathogenic processes.
Dermaren fillers are indicated for:
- correction, modeling of the shape of lips, cheekbones, nose, chin;

- oval tightening, formation of reliefs, contours;
- improving the quality of dry, flabby, aging skin in different areas of the face, neck, décolleté, and body.
Note! Dermaren is used by patients aged 25–30 years. The drugs are most popular among those with aging skin with pronounced signs of changes.
Types of fillers
The Dermaren line includes 3 products with a classic composition, but different purposes:
- Fine Plus. A drug with a HA concentration of 20 mg/ml. The product is used to treat delicate areas: periorbital, perioral zones, neck. It is considered popular to eliminate crow's feet, rings of Venus, and fill the nasolacrimal trough.
- Deep Plus. A drug with a HA concentration of 20 mg/ml. The substance is used to correct medium and deep wrinkles, folds (nasolabial, labiomental, glabellar), and lip modeling. Deep plus is ideal for combating age-related changes of the “Slavic” type.
- Sub-Q Plus. Gel with a HA concentration of 24 mg/ml. The filler is used to volumize the cheekbones, chin, and correct the shape of the nose. Removal of large wrinkles and folds is popular. The substance is more often used to work with aging skin (from 35 years).
Among the new products with a conceptual composition, Dermaren presents: lumi and lumi eyes. The ingredients of Lumi are: HA (10 mg/ml) and polynucleotide. The drug improves skin texture, moisturizes, and revitalizes the integument. Volumization and tissue transformation are achieved. The action of Lumi Eye is maximally aimed at regenerating damaged tissues and “awakening” the body’s own powers.

Carrying out the procedure
Dermaren fillers are intended for intradermal injection. The drugs are completely ready for injection. It is enough to prepare the skin: clean it, disinfect it with an antiseptic.
Attention! Anesthesia is performed in agreement with the patient. This is not necessary for the procedure with Dermaren preparations. The substances contain an anesthetic. This is evidenced by the mark with lidocaine on the packaging.
Injection of the gel is performed using a pre-selected technology. The course of action depends on the problem being solved. The patient is advised to carefully choose a cosmetologist. The quality of the result depends on the doctor’s skills. To ensure their own safety, the patient is recommended to carefully monitor the sterility of the process and monitor the quality of the filler: compliance with the expiration dates.
The cosmetologist manipulates a thin needle or cannula. The amount of gel and depth of injection depend on the filler used. The tools, combined with the correct injection technique, ensure an even distribution of the gel. To help the process, the doctor additionally gently massages the treated area with his fingers. To complete the session, the cosmetologist performs skin antiseptic. The filling procedure takes 20–90 minutes. Duration is related to the scale of processing.
Pros of the procedure
Why do modern cosmetologists and women choose this method of lip augmentation? This is due to the fact that the use of fillers is completely safe. In addition, the procedure has many other advantages, some of which include instantaneous achievement of the desired result and no need for hospitalization.
Among the advantages of introducing fillers, it can also be noted that it does not involve intervention in the form of surgery. Before carrying out such a procedure, it is always possible to conduct a sensitivity test, and if the drug suddenly does not work, the doctor will be able to replace it with a more appropriate one.
If the result does not satisfy the patient, it can always be corrected or completely eliminated, which is also an undeniable advantage of lip augmentation with fillers.
Reviews from specialists in the field of cosmetology very often note that before the actual procedure, you should definitely consult a doctor and undergo a number of necessary tests.
Healing period
The Dermaren gel injection procedure does not involve long-term rehabilitation. After manipulation, significant deviations rarely occur: severe swelling, bruising, pain. In the first 2–3 hours, redness, swelling, and severity of the puncture sites may be observed. Side effects are not inconvenient and rarely last longer than 2-3 days.
To speed up rehabilitation, prevent complications, and obtain the planned result, the doctor will recommend observing restrictions. For the first 3–5 days you cannot:
- apply decorative cosmetics;
- take a steam bath, wash with hot water;
- swim in open reservoirs, swimming pools;
- sunbathe;
- perform skin treatments;
- play sports, overexert yourself physically;
- drink alcohol, smoke.
It is recommended to lead a healthy, measured lifestyle. Restrictions are being lifted gradually. The doctor instructs the patient in detail. On the first day, it is advisable to refrain from washing your face and using usual cosmetics. Next, you can adhere to standard care principles.
The result of injecting Dermaren gels is visible immediately. The manufacturer's fillers are long-acting substances. The result lasts 12–18 months. After this period, if aesthetic problems return, it is permissible to repeat the procedure.
Disadvantages of the procedure
As for the disadvantages of the procedure in question, the number is truly small. These include, first of all, the cost of the procedure, which, if high-quality drugs are used, will definitely amount to more than 10,000 rubles per session. The disadvantages of the procedure also often include the fact that the effect obtained from it is observed for a certain time, after which it disappears without a trace.
In addition to all of the above, practice shows that as a result of the injection of fillers into the lip area, the patient may experience certain complications. In reviews of the recovery period after lip augmentation with fillers, one can sometimes observe complaints about the formation of bruises or redness on the skin of the face, which, as a rule, disappear within a couple of weeks after formation. It is worth noting that such cases are considered exceptions and arise only in the absence of professionalism of the doctor prescribing and administering the drug.
Minimizing the effect
The technology for correcting unsatisfactory results obtained after injection of Dermaren hyaluronic gels is simple. To minimize the effect, it is enough for the doctor to inject substances with hyaluronidase activity under the skin of the unsuccessful area.
Complete elimination of the effect is possible by injecting similar drugs in sufficient quantities. A similar result is achieved when using physiotherapy.
Visiting a bathhouse, sauna, or gym will help minimize the effect on your own.
Precautionary measures
The doctor can protect the patient from complications. The qualified actions of a cosmetologist are important, eliminating contraindications:
- pregnancy, breastfeeding period;
- autoimmune disorders;
- serious somatic diseases;
- severe endocrine, cardiovascular pathologies (diabetes mellitus, heart defects);
- oncology;
- blood diseases;
- acute course of any diseases (chronic, general);
- allergy to the components of Dermaren gel;
- open wounds, dermatological problems in affected areas.
The filler injection procedure is not performed immediately after interventions that change the deep dermal layers.
Important! Before performing filleting, consultation with a cosmetologist is required. The doctor tries to minimize risks. It is recommended to exclude intervention after illness, during menstruation, or if you feel unsatisfactory.
In case of doctor errors or violation of restrictions, patients may experience the development of complications:
- severe swelling, extensive bruising, long-lasting pain;
- granulomas, compactions, “balls”, seromas;
- transillumination of the gel;
- allergic manifestations (itching, rashes, redness);
- necrosis (death) of tissues;
- inflammatory process.
If you suspect negative reactions of the body, it is recommended to immediately consult a doctor. A cosmetologist will help prevent the situation from getting worse.
Pros and cons of the drug
The latest technologies used in the production of Dermaren drugs are an absolute plus of the product. Innovative achievements make it possible to increase the competitiveness of fillers. Dermaren gels have a prolonged effect and rarely cause side effects.
Cosmetologists call the lidocaine content both a plus and a minus of Dermaren preparations. Doctors assess this nuance differently. Some cosmetologists are confused by the paucity of the product line.
When comparing Dermaren fillers with analogues, many notice that the South Korean options have only advantages. Most of these European-made gels have a higher price and often lead to persistent swelling and discomfort.

Negative sides
Who would have thought that such a popular procedure could cost so much and ruin life so much. Hi, I have been suffering from terrible swelling for 4 years now; bumpy, scar-like scars have formed on the skin of my face. I got the injection at the peak of the popularity of this fashion, in 2016. I was only 22 years old then. I succumbed to the general madness. But, from experience, I know that many who did it did well, but I was unlucky with the drug. The doctor who was recommended to me said that he works with the Korean drug Dermaren. Supposedly it is better than popular brands, but costs less. I didn’t have any suspicions, I didn’t see any reason not to trust him. He worked in a good clinic in St. Petersburg on Petrogradka. There was a medical diploma and many certificates and awards hanging on the wall. And good people recommended it to me. I didn’t particularly plan to save money, but since it’s cheaper, why not, I also wanted to raise money for facial cleansing. I didn’t need heavily pumped lips, so I suggested using part of the syringe on the lips, and part on the nasolabial wrinkles. Everyone agreed and started. Immediately, literally 5 minutes after the end of the procedure, serious swelling began. The doctor said that this was in the order of things, a normal reaction of the body to invasive procedures, I went home. The next week I lived like I was in hell. Every day I cried, took pack after pack of painkillers. I was waiting for it all to pass, because the doctor said that this happens and we need to wait. The swelling was so pronounced that the lower part of the face simply merged; it was impossible to tell where the lips were and where the chin was. The upper lip touched the tip of the nose! I couldn’t eat for a week, I lost 5 kg. Everything hurt and burned. After 10 days the swelling was almost gone. The filler in my lips became hard, I constantly felt it, it was very unpleasant. It’s as if something is superfluous, interfering, and I want to get rid of it. There was no effect that I expected. The gel seemed to have shifted to the center of the lips and formed a spherical tubercle. It crumpled and didn't hold its shape at all. I didn’t want to go and inject myself again, I was glad that at least it was like this and not something worse. Moreover, after 3-6 months the gel should have dissolved. Alas, the problems did not end there. What happened, as I later found out, was a delayed reaction. At the 3rd month, in different parts of the lips, these balls began to swell, become inflamed and seriously hurt. The lips were terrible, I couldn’t leave the house. The cosmetologist shrugged his shoulders and said that it was an individual intolerance or an autoimmune reaction. All this lasted 3 years. What have I not tried during this time? The injection of the antidote did not help, if anything. And then, already in the year 2020, I saw information that it turns out that Dermaren is uncertified and generally of low quality. There may be dangerous impurities, oils and much more. A low degree of purification of hyaluronic acid can cause such side effects. The frequency of painful swelling subsided and only after 4 years, in 2020, everything finally went away. I decided to have the procedure again, but only with a proven and certified European filler. And, lo and behold, everything is perfect! Pronounced results and 0 side effects. There was swelling for the first 2 days and that was all. PS Dermaren left a reminder of himself for the rest of his life: scar tissue in his lips. In general, keep this in mind. There are few real reviews about Dermaren on the Internet. If I had known, then of course I would not have used it and would not have suffered for 4 years. Let my experience help someone! Good luck!
