Is Juvelook really effective for depressed scar treatment?
Hello, I am Dr. Sang-ju Lee, a dermatologist. Among the most popular skin booster treatments recently, Juvelook can be mentioned. It is widely used not only for wrinkle and elasticity improvement but also for the treatment of depressed scars, and many people have become very curious about its effectiveness. Related questions continue to be posted on our YouTube channel. Today, I will answer your questions regarding Juvelook scar treatment.
What kind of treatment is Juvelook?
Juvelook is a treatment that is effective for acne and depressed scars. Previously, fillers were often used for depressed scar treatment, but fillers only provide temporary effects, whereas Juvelook offers natural and lasting effects once collagen is formed. Therefore, Juvelook can be considered very effective for depressed scar treatment.
What is the difference between Juvelook and Juvelook Volume?
As those who have studied Juvelook a bit may know, there are two main products. One is Juvelook Skin Booster, and the other is Juvelook Volume.
- Juvelook Skin Booster: The particle size is relatively small.
- Juvelook Volume: The particle size is larger, and the content is slightly higher.
In terms of effectiveness, Juvelook Volume might be better, but Juvelook Volume is developed to be injected into the subcutaneous fat layer under the skin and is mainly used for wrinkle treatment. From the perspective of being safer and more effective, Juvelook Skin Booster can be considered more suitable for depressed scar treatment.
How many Juvelook treatments are effective?
There is no exact data yet on how many Juvelook treatments are needed to be effective. However, PLLA preparations previously used for wrinkle treatment showed effects that lasted for several years when treated about 3 times at one-month intervals. Juvelook is also expected to show similar effects in depressed scar treatment. Therefore, it is considered desirable to perform the treatment periodically 3 to 4 times or more, rather than just once.
After Juvelook treatment, when can I feel the effects?
When you receive Juvelook treatment for depressed scars, you can feel the effects immediately from the day of the procedure. However, this initial effect is a temporary effect caused by the injection of Juvelook. Since Juvelook is a booster that creates collagen, it takes some time for the true effect, that is, the effect of new collagen formation, to appear.
While there are individual differences, those who see results quickly may feel an improvement after one month. Generally, you can feel the area filling up continuously for one to three months.
How long do Juvelook effects last?
Just as scars, once formed, persist, Juvelook is a treatment that creates new collagen in depressed scars, so once formed, it can last semi-permanently. However, as collagen naturally decreases with age, the collagen created by Juvelook may also decrease slightly in proportion. The feeling that the treated area sinks over time is due to the aging phenomenon, and it is more appropriate to consider the Juvelook effect itself to be semi-permanent.
Since Juvelook is different from fillers, it may appear to rise initially after injection and then quickly subside as it is absorbed. However, over time, depressed scars gradually fill in. The appearance of scars looking more depressed immediately after the procedure is a temporary phenomenon, and over time, the condition may become better than before, so you do not need to worry too much about this.
