Juvelook skin booster

PDLLA is an ingredient that is slowly broken down and absorbed in the body. A reaction in which new collagen forms around the PDLLA placed in the skin is known to occur, so it may help with care for fine lines and skin firmness.

It does not fill the spot right away by the amount injected; instead it waits for your own skin's collagen to increase, so it is judged by the change over several weeks rather than how it looks right after the treatment.

Juvelook is generally considered when fine lines, along with skin that feels thinner and less firm, are a concern. Because the change appears gradually, it may suit people who can take time and have several sessions; if noticeable sagging or deep wrinkles are your concern, the right approach is decided after your skin condition is examined at your consultation.

Please let us know in advance if you have inflammation, a wound or a skin condition in the treatment area, are pregnant, or tend to scar easily, for example with keloids. If you are taking blood-thinning medication, please also tell us, as you may bruise more.

You may feel a sting or a dull ache during the injection, and how much varies from person to person. Injection marks and swelling usually settle within 2⁠–⁠3 days after the treatment, and many people wear makeup from the next day. It is best to allow plenty of time in your schedule, including the time spent waiting with numbing cream on.

How quickly it settles varies from person to person. It is best not to press hard on or rub the treatment area, and please follow the aftercare instructions for when you can use a sauna or do strenuous exercise.

Injection marks, swelling and bruising are common and mostly settle on their own. Rarely, a small lump may be felt at an injection point; this is a known reaction to polylactic acid-based injections. If what you feel lasts a long time, seems to be getting bigger, or becomes red and painful, please have it checked at the clinic.

Because collagen takes time to form, the change is often felt gradually over several weeks rather than right after the treatment. It is generally given 2⁠–⁠3 times at intervals of about 4 weeks, and the number of sessions is decided at your consultation based on your skin condition. If you want to compare how much has changed, one option is to take photos in the same lighting before the treatment.

How long the change in your skin lasts varies from person to person depending on age, skin condition and lifestyle, so it is hard to say in advance. Whether to have it again is decided at a consultation after seeing how things go following the last session.

Juvelook is ₩99,000 for 1 cc, ₩190,000 for 2 cc and ₩290,000 for 3 cc, plus 10% VAT on cosmetic procedures. The amount that suits your treatment area and skin condition is decided at your consultation.

Whatever the number of cc, it is often given in sessions about 4 weeks apart rather than finished in one go, so please check the total number of sessions and cost together at your consultation.
