HiloWave Duration & Effects: 4cc vs. 6cc Volume Comparison Guide

Hello! This is Seye Clinic, embracing all the beauty in the world.

Are you worried about nasolabial folds showing through makeup, sunken cheeks, or a bumpy, "peanut-shaped" facial contour?

HiloWave is gaining attention as a procedure that naturally addresses these volume concerns. Many people are particularly curious about the HiloWave duration and the difference in effects based on volume, such as 4cc versus 6cc.

Today, we will provide a detailed breakdown of the HiloWave principle, its ideal candidates, the specific effects of the 4cc and 6cc volumes, and how long the HiloWave duration typically lasts.

1. What is HiloWave? (Principle and Effect)

HiloWave is a collagen booster treatment that utilizes a high-purity Hyaluronic Acid (HA) complex (Dual HA). It delivers deep hydration to the skin's layers, resolving inner dryness, while stimulating collagen production to restore the skin's natural elasticity and volume.

Unlike simple fillers that just add volume, or surface-acting skin boosters, HiloWave works by improving the internal skin environment and strengthening the dermal structure, effectively restoring mid-face volume.

2. Ideal Candidates for HiloWave Treatment

HiloWave can be suitable for individuals with the following concerns:

3. Expected Effects & Application by Volume (2cc, 4cc, 6cc)

HiloWave allows for customized treatment by varying the volume based on the individual's skin condition and desired outcome.

Generally, 2cc focuses on hydration, 4cc on elasticity and partial volume, and 6cc aims for overall volume improvement in the mid-face.

The effects are not instantaneous but appear gradually over about 2–3 weeks as collagen regenerates. Therefore, choosing the appropriate volume requires a holistic consideration of both the sustained HiloWave duration and the desired effect.

4. HiloWave Duration: Volume-Specific Differences

The HiloWave duration can vary depending on the injection volume, in addition to individual skin conditions and lifestyle habits.

5. Procedure Pain and Key Precautions (FAQ)

Here are the most common questions patients ask before and after the procedure:

1. Pain and Recovery Process

Pain during the procedure is generally low, similar to a minor injection prick.

• • Minor swelling or bruising may rarely occur but typically resolves naturally within 1–2 days.
  • Bumps (embossing) may appear immediately after the procedure but disappear as the solution is absorbed.
  • Cleansing and makeup are possible from the day of the procedure.

2. Recommended Sessions and Frequency

Even a single session can provide improvements in hydration and elasticity.

• • For lasting volume and reinforced collagen regeneration, 2–3 repeated sessions may be recommended, which helps to extend the overall HiloWave duration and establish stable volume.

3. Post-Procedure Aftercare

It is best to avoid saunas, strenuous exercise, and alcohol consumption for 48 hours after the procedure.

• • Diligent use of sunscreen and adequate water intake can positively influence collagen activation, helping to maintain the treatment effect.

6. Treatment Design Determines Satisfaction

HiloWave is not simply about injecting a fixed volume. It requires three-dimensional design, including the precise injection location, depth, and dispersion method, tailored to the patient's facial structure, skin condition, and goals.

A meticulous treatment plan based on anatomical understanding is what ultimately determines the HiloWave duration and the naturalness of the results. Seye Clinic is committed to creating such delicate, customized designs for our patients.
