Research results confirm the long-term safety and efficacy of Samyang Holdings Biopharmaceuticals Division’s new filler Lafullen. A dermal filler is a proven safe medical device injected into the skin’s subcutaneous fat layer to add volume and fill facial wrinkles for a smoother, more youthful appearance.


Samyang Holdings Biopharmaceuticals Division announced on June 30 that a clinical study on the safety and improvement effect of its polycaprolactone (PCL) filler Lafullen has been published in the prestigious international academic journal Dermatologic Therapy, a Scientific Citation Index (SCI) publication that issues the latest scientific findings in the field of dermatology.


Professor Kim Beom Joon from the Department of Dermatology, Chung-Ang University Hospital conducted this comparative study of Lafullen and an existing PCL filler on 59 Korean men and women. The study examined Lafullen’s effect on the nasolabial folds using a globally accepted standard index and confirmed initial volume improvement and safe and stable volume maintenance during the one-year course of the study.


Development of Lafullen began in 2015 and received marketing approval from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in 2021. Lafullen is made of PCL (Polycaprolactone), a biodegradable polymer material for medical use, as its main component. Thanks to the patented technology of Samyang Holdings Biopharmaceuticals Division, Lafullen has less irritation compared to existing PCL fillers, and natural volume can be expected.
