What is Lorient?
Lorient is a Cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid or HA Filler.
HA adds volume and retains water. When injected into the appropriate site and layer, it can fill hollow areas and folds or adjust facial proportions.
Lorient filler comes in several textures, from soft gels for thin skin and delicate work to gels with greater support for adding volume and facial contouring.
Lorient has 3 main variants: Lorient Fine, Lorient Filler, and Lorient Volume, also commonly known as No.2, No.4, and No.6. Each differs in firmness and shape retention, offering options from soft filling to adding dimension and supporting facial structure.
Which Lorient variants are available?
Lorient No.2 — Fine
The softest of the 3 variants, it spreads and blends well with tissue, making it suitable for areas requiring delicate work without a very firm filler.
Commonly selected areas include:
- Under-eyes
- Lips
- Fine lines
- Areas with relatively thin skin
- Areas requiring soft, natural-looking filling
According to product information, Fine is designed for injection into the Superficial Dermis and can be used for fine lines, lips, and some types of folds.
Approximate duration: 6–9 months
Lorient No.4 — Filler
A medium-textured gel combining softness with shape retention, suitable for filling folds or adding volume while still blending well with the face.
Commonly selected areas include:
- Nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines
- Cheeks
- Lips
- Forehead
- Areas requiring moderate volume enhancement
The product is designed for injection into the Mid to Deep Dermis, with indications for moderate to deep wrinkles, including the Nasolabial Fold.
Approximate duration: 9–12 months
Lorient No.6 — Volume
The firmest variant with the greatest support of the 3, suitable for adding volume or areas requiring greater shape retention.
Commonly selected areas include:
- Chin
- Anterior cheeks
- Temples
- Jawline
- Areas requiring volume enhancement
- Areas requiring dimension or Projection
Product information states that Volume is designed for injection from the Subcutaneous to Supraperiosteal layers and can add volume to the Mid-face.
Approximate duration: 12–16 months
How do No.2 / No.4 / No.6 differ?
To put it simply:
No.2 — Fine
The softest, suitable for delicate work, under-eyes, lips, and fine lines.
No.4 — Filler
A versatile medium-textured gel for filling folds and adding volume.
No.6 — Volume
Firmer with greater shape retention, suitable for adding dimension and facial contouring.
This does not mean No.6 is better than No.2 or No.4; the variant must match the area and desired shape.
How long does Lorient last?
The durations commonly referenced in use are:
These are approximate figures from usage information in Thailand, rather than a fixed number of months guaranteed by the manufacturer. However, follow-up information for several Lorient variants also shows continued volume effects at approximately 12 months in some areas.
Actual duration also depends on:
- Variant used
- Injection site
- Injection layer
- Filler amount
- Movement in the area
- Individual metabolism
Frequently moving areas such as the lips may therefore break down filler faster than areas using firm gels in deeper layers for volume enhancement or facial structure.
Does Lorient contain Lidocaine?
Yes.
Lorient With Lidocaine contains 0.3% Lidocaine in the filler to help reduce pain during injection.
If you have a history of allergy to Lidocaine or anesthetics, inform the doctor before treatment.
How many cc are in 1 box of Lorient?
Lorient contains 1.0 ml, or approximately 1 cc, per syringe.
The amount actually used depends on the area and volume to be restored; everyone does not necessarily need the same amount.
Where can Lorient be used?
This depends on the variant and layer selected by the doctor, for example:
- Under-eyes
- Lips
- Forehead
- Temples
- Nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines
- Hollow cheeks
- Anterior cheeks
- Chin
- Jawline
- Areas with volume loss
Some areas require a soft gel that blends with the skin, while others need support to maintain shape, so the same variant should not be used everywhere.
Can Lorient be used under the eyes?
Lorient No.2 is the softest variant and may be selected for thin-skinned areas such as under the eyes.
A recent study used Lorient No.2 to fill the upper-eyelid sulcus and followed results for 6 months, finding that volume changes remained present.
For under-eyes, however, first determine whether the issue truly comes from hollow troughs. If it is caused by eye bags, swelling, or skin pigmentation, filler may not directly address the cause.
Can Lorient be used in the lips?
Yes, especially No.2 and No.4.
No.2 suits treatments requiring softness or detailed refinement, while No.4 may be chosen for greater volume and shape.
Selection considers the original lip shape, lip tissue thickness, and desired shape.
Can Lorient be used in the chin?
Yes. Chin treatment often uses a gel with better shape retention, such as No.6 Volume, or a variant the doctor considers suitable for the chin structure.
A gel with greater support is better suited than a very soft gel for increasing length, Projection, or adjusting chin proportions.
Can Lorient be dissolved?
Yes.
Lorient is a Hyaluronic Acid Filler, so Hyaluronidase can help dissolve it if necessary.
The doctor should always assess the location and amount of filler before dissolving it.
How long does Lorient take to settle after injection?
Changes in volume and shape can be seen immediately after injection, but early swelling from the needle and injection may also be present.
Generally, wait approximately 1–2 weeks for swelling to decrease before reassessing the shape.
Some areas, such as the lips, may show more noticeable early swelling than others.
Does Lorient cause swelling after injection?
After treatment, there may be:
- Swelling
- Redness
- Needle marks
- Bruising
- Mild pain or tightness
The extent of symptoms varies between individuals and treatment areas.
If there is progressively worsening severe pain, pale or abnormally discolored skin, or visual symptoms, contact the doctor immediately.
How can you identify genuine Lorient?
Before injection, you should be able to inspect the actual product being used.
Items to check include:
- Lorient name
- Fine / Filler / Volume variant
- Or No.2 / No.4 / No.6
- 1.0 ml volume
- Lot number
- Expiry date
- Joonghun Pharmaceutical manufacturer information
- Thai label and importer details
- Matching information on the box and syringe
- Intact packaging
Inspect the product before injection at The Ality
Before treatment, you can inspect the box, variant, Lot number, and actual product being used.
The box is opened for you to see before use, the product can be checked, and it is never secretly switched.
Because filler variants differ in texture and suitable uses, knowing the variant is as important as knowing the number of cc.
