Korea Newstar Dermatology Hospital

Pioneer and Founder in the Field of Fillers

Dr. Kang Gang-yu is a first-generation expert in the field of filler treatments in Korea. Long before filler procedures became widely popularized in 2011, he had already deeply cultivated this domain, accumulating profound clinical experience and technical expertise. As an early explorer and practitioner in the industry, Dr. Kang witnessed and facilitated the evolution of filler techniques from the rudimentary stage of simply “adding volume with a needle” to the advanced stage of “precise design based on anatomical structures.”

Advocating the Concept of “Designed Fillers”

Dr. Kang has led the trend toward “designed fillers,” which emphasizes the coordination between overall facial structure and individual impression. He advocates moving beyond localized volume supplementation, instead adopting a holistic planning approach through meticulous anatomical analysis. His professional expertise covers comprehensive enhancement ranging from the forehead and temples to the mid-face extension lines. He has made significant contributions to the popularization and refinement of forehead filler techniques, boasting numerous successful clinical cases.
