[의학신문·일간보사=오인규 기자] Joonghun Pharmaceutical has officially launched their premium cross-linked hyaluronic acid dermal filler, Artgaon.
The Finest, Artgaon
Artgaon, with its certification of the CE mark, is specifically aimed to target the European aesthetic market as its slogan states “The Finest, for European Professionals”. Joonghun Pharmaceutical is a pharmaceutical company in South Korea that specializes in manufacturing Hyaluronic Acid Injections used in orthopedic treatments for 15 years. With their in-depth knowledge of HA characteristics, they were able to develop a dermal filler designed to compete against the top European brands in the aesthetics industry.
According to a representative of Joonghun, the main vision for Artgaon during its product development was to provide a new aesthetic experience like no other for both the patient and practitioner. To deliver this experience, Artgaon was focused on two things: high quality and unique gel formula.
With regards to high quality, Artgaon is manufactured under strict pharmaceutical guidelines despite dermal fillers being classified as medical devices. “This commitment enables us to have higher standards of safety for every component of the filler. For example, Artgaon is manufactured in cleanrooms that control particles as small as 25-micron meters. Naturally making Artgaon extremely clean, which we believe would add to the confidence of doctors using our product”.
Artgaon’s unique gel formula allows doctors to enjoy an injection force of a mere 7-8 newtons that is smooth and consistent. Despite this, Artgaon boasts high elastic (G prime) and cohesive properties when inside the skin. Joonghun claims that their formula for Artgaon shows natural results not only by looks but can be felt by patients as well. “Artgaon really allows the doctor to mold the beauty they want for their patients due to the low injection force coupled with high molding capabilities.”
The gel characteristics of Artgaon is to be expressed in their soon to be updated package designs. “Artgaon’s new package designs are based on the architectural structure of the industrial era, which remain firm and capture beauty even to this day. We wanted this architectural beauty from the industrial era to represent Artgaon’s gel structure; to be firm and attain its beauty even over time.”
The quality and performance of Artgaon has already surprised doctors who have tested Artgaon. It is only a matter of time until Artgaon disrupts the beauty market of Europe and the world.
