Lorient filler is an HA filler available in No.2, No.4, and No.6 for doctors to choose based on tissue characteristics and augmentation goals. This article explains all three grades' properties, preparation, risks, and differences from Juvéderm, Restylane, Definisse, Neuramis, Hyamax, e.p.t.q., Ultra V Hyal Filler, Teosyal, YVOIRE, and Hyafilia, to help you ask the right questions before consulting a doctor.
Quick answer: Lorient is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler from Joonghun Pharmaceutical, available in No.2, No.4, and No.6, which differ in gel characteristics. Comparing it with other filler brands requires looking at the specific grade, indications, and tissue being treated — no single brand is best for everyone.
What Is Lorient Filler
Lorient is a cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler manufactured by Joonghun Pharmaceutical in South Korea. Manufacturer data states a formula of HA 20 mg/mL and lidocaine 0.3% for the anesthetic-containing version. Cross-linking builds a gel network with properties suited for augmentation, distinguishing it from topical HA skincare products, which cannot be used interchangeably.
Fillers are medical devices for treatment requiring doctor assessment — not a product chosen by softness or price alone. Augmentation may help adjust grooves or volume per indications, but it cannot address skin tone issues, expression lines, significant laxity, or every cause of a tired-looking face with a single method. The grade names No.2, No.4, and No.6 reflect gel property choices, not a quality ranking.
How Do the Three Lorient Grades Differ
| Grade | Gel Characteristic (Thai Brand Info) | Doctor's Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| No.2 | Softest, good spreadability | Fine augmentation work, skin thickness, and movement |
| No.4 | Medium firmness, flexible | Grooves and volume in certain areas, assessed alongside structure |
| No.6 | Firmest, emphasizes shape retention | Need for support, tissue thickness, and proportion |
This table summarizes properties from brand information — it's not an instruction for injection position or confirmation of approved indications in Thailand. Doctors must check documentation for the grade used and assess individual anatomy.
No.2 has the softest gel in the group; doctors may consider it for fine augmentation, such as lip adjustment. However, the under-eye area requires specialized assessment, since grooves, under-eye bags, pigmentation, and puffiness are separate issues — softness shouldn't be interpreted as a guarantee against swelling or lump formation.
No.4 has medium gel firmness; doctors may consider it for plans needing different properties than No.2, such as nasolabial folds. However, if the groove coexists with tissue displacement or laxity, filling the groove alone may not address the goal. A 2022 study examining No.2 and No.4 for lip injection reported different physical properties, but site-specific results shouldn't be generalized to conclude No.4 outperforms No.2 for everyone or every area.
No.6 is the firmest grade, relevant to plans needing shape retention and support. However, "support" isn't a guarantee it can substitute for other procedures or surgery. Starting with an amount suited to assessment and follow-up is more useful than predetermining a cc amount based on a promotion.
Who May Suit the Filler Lorient Program
Those with volume loss or grooves that a doctor judges suitable for HA filler may be candidates, provided they understand the limitations and accept the risks. If the main issue is skin laxity without clear volume loss, or significant laxity, your doctor may suggest a different procedure. Those with rashes, wounds, or infection at the injection site should be assessed first. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those with underlying conditions, or those using blood-affecting medications must disclose complete information. Prior filler history is especially important, particularly if the substance type is unknown or there's a history of chronic swelling, lumps, or inflammation.
How Does Lorient Differ from Other Filler Brands
Comparisons with Juvéderm, Restylane, Definisse, Neuramis, Hyamax, e.p.t.q., Ultra V Hyal Filler, Teosyal, YVOIRE, and Hyafilia should focus on grades with similar goals, since each brand has multiple product lines with different gel properties.
| Brand | Key Difference per Manufacturer Info | What to Compare with Lorient |
|---|---|---|
| Juvéderm | Multiple lines, e.g. Volbella, Volift, Voluma, Volux | Compare against the matching-purpose line; avoid generalizing the whole brand |
| Restylane | Has NASHA and OBT technologies, plus NASHA HD | Consider shape retention vs. flexibility per line |
| Definisse | XTR technology, lines Touch, Restore, Core | Compare fine work, volumizing, and structural needs |
| Neuramis | Medytox's HA filler, some lines contain lidocaine | Check grade name, anesthetic formula, and augmentation goal |
| Hyamax | Multiple groups, e.g. HA+ and PLUS, plus other product types | Compare only HA filler lines, not collagen-stimulating groups |
| e.p.t.q. | S100/S300/S500, stated HA 24 mg/mL | Higher HA concentration doesn't mean better; consider overall gel properties |
| Ultra V Hyal Filler | R-square process, Fine/Medium/Hard groups | A distinct HA filler from UltraCol by the same company |
| Teosyal | RHA line uses PNT technology, among other lines | Compare movement accommodation and product purpose |
| YVOIRE | LG Chem's HA filler, plus Y-Solution group | Check product group and properties of the specific line |
| Hyafilia | S/M/V and S/M/V PLUS groups by CHA Meditech | Distinguish anesthetic vs. non-anesthetic formulas, even with similar names |
This list is for understanding options, not confirmation that Orianna Clinic offers every brand, nor a statement on each product's registration status in Thailand. The table summarizes product and manufacturer data, not head-to-head trial results. Grade names, formulas, and indications abroad may differ from Thailand, so documentation and the actual grade used must be verified before treatment.
Does Higher HA Concentration Always Mean Better
HA concentration alone isn't enough to determine whether a filler is better or lasts longer. For example, Lorient's data states HA 20 mg/mL, while Jetema's e.p.t.q. documentation states 24 mg/mL — but gel network, grade, position, and treatment plan must still be considered together. A substance not detected in lab testing means it's below the test method's detection limit, not confirmation the substance is entirely absent.
When Do Results Appear and How Long Do They Last
Augmentation may show volume change after treatment, but early images may be mixed with swelling, so assess results at follow-up rather than judging immediately. Duration depends on the material, position, and individual factors — a specific number of months shouldn't be guaranteed from grade alone. The 36-month shelf life from production date is pre-use storage information, not the duration of results after injection.
Verify the Product and Prepare Before Injection
Before treatment, prepare a list of medications, supplements, drug allergy history, underlying conditions, and prior procedure history. On treatment day, check the grade name, import source, lot number, expiration date, and packaging condition. Ask for the product and amount used to be recorded in your treatment history.
Aftercare and Watching for Abnormal Symptoms
Swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness may occur. Other complications include infection, lumps, and later inflammatory reactions. A key risk is intravascular injection, which can cause tissue necrosis, vision loss, or stroke — while not every recipient experiences this, understanding it before deciding is essential. If you experience unusual severe pain, pale skin, mottled purplish-blue discoloration, or vision abnormalities, contact your provider and seek emergency evaluation immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I choose my grade before seeing a doctor? You can research beforehand, but the grade and amount should come from an actual examination.
Does the anesthetic formula mean it won't hurt at all? Lidocaine-containing formulas may still cause pain or discomfort. Disclose anesthetic allergy history before treatment.
How many cc do I need? There's no standard amount for everyone — assess the problem size, existing volume, and goals together.
Can it be dissolved if I'm unhappy with the result? HA filler may be managed with hyaluronidase when the doctor judges it appropriate, but the substance type, risks, and cause must be assessed first.
Consult the Lorient Program at Orianna Clinic

The goal of consultation is to choose a plan matching your face and health — results vary and cannot be guaranteed.
