Hello, I am Dr. Sang-ju Lee, a board-certified dermatologist. Many people consider Juvelook to be one of the most notable skin boosters recently. Since the early days of Juvelook's launch in Korea, I have utilized it as a booster to enhance the treatment effects for acne scars and depressed scars, and I continue to achieve excellent scar treatment results. Today, I will provide detailed information on various aspects you might be curious about, such as the actual effects, pain, and duration of the skin booster Juvelook.
Juvelook, what ingredients is it made of?
Improving skin elasticity, pores, and scars depends on effective collagen production. Many people consume or apply collagen, but directly injecting collagen itself into the skin can cause foreign body reactions if it's not autologous, thus limiting its actual use.
Juvelook is a substance that overcomes these limitations and shows excellent collagen production effects while being safe. Juvelook is known as a biodegradable substance called Poly-Lactic Acid, extracted from lactic acid in corn or sugarcane. When this substance is injected into the dermis, it stimulates surrounding fibroblasts and macrophages to promote new collagen production. As a result, it can help improve skin elasticity, pores, depressed scars, as well as fine wrinkles.
What makes Juvelook special?
Juvelook has several advantages due to its unique particle structure.
- Small particle size: The particles are very small.
- Reticular mesh structure: It has a spherical reticular mesh structure, similar to a sponge, and about 85% of it is composed of air.
Thanks to these characteristics, it is noteworthy that it significantly lowers the possibility of nodule formation, which can be a side effect after treatment, not only in depressed scar areas or pores. Furthermore, approximately 3 to 8 months after the treatment, most of the Juvelook particles in the body naturally decompose and disappear as water and carbon dioxide. This is one of the important reasons why I recommend Juvelook, as it allows for safer collagen production.
In what cases can Juvelook be used?
I actively utilize Juvelook for acne scar treatment. Especially in cases that are somewhat challenging and difficult with scar laser treatment alone, using Juvelook as a collagen booster together has yielded satisfactory and good results.
Juvelook can help improve the following skin concerns:
- Improvement of acne scars and depressed scars
- Pore reduction and skin texture improvement
- Enhancement of skin elasticity
- Reduction of fine wrinkles
- Overall anti-aging of the skin
How does it compare to other skin boosters?
When performing skin booster treatments, topical application often results in low absorption rates. Therefore, direct injection into the skin is preferred for superior effects. Our dermatology clinic insists on using only skin boosters that are recognized as domestic medical devices and are safe for direct subcutaneous injection of active ingredients. These include Juvelook, Rejuran Healer, and Restylane Vital, which was the progenitor of skin boosters.
While Rejuran Healer is well-known for its good effects in creating healthy skin, many people hesitate due to the relatively severe pain during the actual treatment.
Juvelook is preferred by many because it causes significantly less pain than Rejuran Healer and shows good results in treating elasticity, wrinkles, and scars.
Furthermore, Juvelook tends to be superior to Rejuran Healer in terms of wrinkle and elasticity improvement effects. This is because Rejuran Healer merely supplies nutritional components that aid in skin regeneration, whereas Juvelook directly induces collagen production. The anti-aging effects of Juvelook have already been proven through numerous papers and literature.
What are the effects and duration of Juvelook treatment?
Juvelook typically begins to show effects gradually from about 15 days after treatment, and noticeable changes can be felt by the 4th to 6th week.
Recommended Treatment Cycle and Duration:
- Initial Treatment: It is recommended to receive treatment consecutively 3 times, at intervals of 3-4 weeks.
- Duration of Effect: The effects can last for an average of 1 year or more.
- Maintenance: We recommend receiving treatment once a year to consistently maintain the effects.
