Hello! This is Seye Clinic, embracing all the beauty in the world, and led by a Key Doctor (KOL) and Faculty Medical Team who teach and train other medical professionals.
Are you worried about HiloWave swelling affecting your work schedule? Unlike fillers that can feel artificial or boosters like Ultracol that carry a risk of nodules, HiloWave uses Hyaluronic Acid (HA) to naturally attract moisture and restore elasticity with minimal downtime.
To understand HiloWave swelling, one must first understand its mechanism. HiloWave is a "Bio-Stimulator" combining high-molecular and low-molecular Hyaluronic Acid (HA).

HiloWave is known for having a very short downtime. However, it is helpful to understand the temporary physical reactions that can occur immediately after the session.
Category | HiloWave Swelling Status |
Primary Cause | Temporary water retention by high-concentration HA |
Duration | Minimal or subsides within a few hours (varies by individual) |
Daily Life | Makeup and face washing possible 2β3 hours after treatment |
A major concern with volume treatments is the risk of "nodules" (lumping). HiloWave offers a safer profile compared to traditional fillers or particle-based boosters.
Feature | HiloWave | Fillers / Ultracol |
Ingredient | Pure Hyaluronic Acid | Cross-linked HA or PDO (solid particles) |
Mechanism | Instant hydration & regeneration | Physical filling or foreign body reaction |
Nodule Risk | Very Low (smooth, liquid-like material) | Possibility of visible lumps or nodules |
Reversibility | Can be dissolved immediately with Hyaluronidase | Nodules (especially from Ultracol) are difficult to remove |

The skill of the medical team determines the smoothness of the result and the degree of swelling.
Q: How long do the embossing (bumps) last?
A: If injected superficially, temporary bumps may appear but usually vanish within 24 hours as the HA is absorbed.
Q: Any tips for swelling management?
A: Avoid high-temperature environments like saunas for a week and focus on moisturizing to enhance the soothing effect.
Q: Is the procedure painful?
A: We provide thorough numbing, and our precise point-injection technique ensures a comfortable, low-pain experience.
