e.p.t.q. (commonly pronounced "EPTQ") is a cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) filler from manufacturer Jetema in South Korea. The main lines found in manufacturer information are S100, S300, and S500, with manufacturer data stating HA 24 mg/mL and lidocaine 0.3% for lines containing lidocaine.
Which line, position, and quantity to use must be considered based on the label/insert of the product licensed in Thailand, together with anatomy and assessment by a licensed doctor. Ranking lines as soft or firm is only information to aid understanding, not an automatic recommendation for any injection site.
What e.p.t.q. Is
e.p.t.q. is an HA filler brand name from Jetema Co., Ltd., a South Korean manufacturer. The product is an HA gel that has undergone cross-linking to remain in tissue temporarily, used for augmentation per the product's indications and the doctor's assessment. It is not a collagen-stimulating agent like PLLA/PCL, and it is not a botulinum toxin.
The manufacturer refers to 2CM, ZEEP, and Downing Process technologies in brand materials; these are manufacturer descriptions and do not mean injection risk is eliminated or that individual results are guaranteed. Manufacturer documents state e.p.t.q. Lidocaine S100/S300/S500 contains cross-linked HA 24 mg/mL, lidocaine 0.3%, and 1.1 mL per box. Formulations sold and indications may differ by country, so always read the actual product's label, especially if you're allergic to lidocaine.
How Many e.p.t.q. Lines Exist, and How Do They Differ
Manufacturer information shows S100, S300, and S500 lines, classified as products in the same line with differences in gel properties and usage per the insert.
| Line | General Description |
|---|---|
| S100 | Manufacturer classifies this as the line focused on more superficial skin layers than the others in the line |
| S300 | Mid-tier in the line, used per label indications |
| S500 | Manufacturer classifies this as the line supporting deeper/firmer use in the line |
The terms "light/medium/firm" are brief comparative descriptions, not a substitute for technical values or diagnosis. This table is a manufacturer-information summary and does not replace the label/insert version registered in Thailand.
Who It Suits, and How to Assess
Those interested in filler should start from the problem they want addressed, such as a deep groove, volume loss, or facial asymmetry, then consult a doctor to assess the cause, suitability, alternatives, and risks. The goal is not choosing a brand or cc amount in advance, but a plan matching your face and the product's indications.
Before treatment, ask the clinic: Is the injector a licensed doctor? What is the line name, formula, ingredients, registration number, and expiry date? Can I see the sealed box and syringe before the procedure begins? Does the product and injection site match the Thai label?
Comparing e.p.t.q. With Other HA Filler Brands
e.p.t.q., Juvéderm, Restylane, and Definisse are HA filler products, but each has multiple lines, manufacturing technologies, and indications. Compare "line to line," primarily by the label in the country of treatment and treatment goals.
| Brand | Manufacturer Technology Information |
|---|---|
| e.p.t.q. | Jetema states 2CM and lines S100/S300/S500; HA 24 mg/mL |
| Juvéderm | Has multiple technology families, such as HYLACROSS and VYCROSS |
| Restylane | Manufacturer states portfolio technologies, such as NASHA and OBT |
| Definisse | Manufacturer RELIFE states XTR™ as the filler group's technology |
No comparative data from this table confirms one brand is better, safer, or longer-lasting than another for everyone. Criteria worth using: approved indications and sites stated on the Thai label, gel characteristics and suitability for your specific goal, lidocaine content and allergy history, that line's clinical evidence, the doctor's experience, and total price, not just a promotional rate.
How Long Results Last, and the Price
Results and duration depend on the product type, line, position, quantity, movement of the treated area, metabolism, and individual factors. Have the doctor reference the used line's insert and state an expected, non-guaranteed range.
Prices in Thailand depend on the clinic, line, quantity, treatment plan, and promotional period; there is no confirmed standard price from manufacturer sources in this article. Before booking, ask for the net price, the line and quantity included, follow-up costs, and correction/aftercare terms.
Safety and Side Effects
Possible effects after filler injection include swelling, bruising, redness, pain, tenderness, or itching at the injection site, which mostly occur early and gradually improve, though some complications may appear later. A rare but serious risk is vascular occlusion, which may cause tissue ischemia, necrosis, abnormal vision/blindness, or stroke. If you have unusual pain, pale/mottled skin discoloration at the site, or changed vision, contact a doctor and seek emergency assessment immediately, especially for visual symptoms.
Inform the doctor before injection about: allergy history to lidocaine or any product component, pregnancy or breastfeeding, chronic conditions, immune disorders, bleeding tendencies or current medications, infection/rash/inflammation at the treatment site, and prior filler history or complications.
How to Verify the Product and Clinic
Before treatment, confirm the line name and formula on the box match the syringe, check the seal, lot number, expiry date, and licensee/import information. Ask the doctor to open the product in front of you, and ask about official verification channels with the importer. Product registration or licensing is not a guarantee of suitability for everyone or every site, and does not replace a doctor's assessment.
