Juvelook at Week 1: Nothing Yet Is Normal

Juvelook at Week 1: Nothing Yet Is Normal

Juvelook at Week 1: Nothing Yet Is Normal

PDLLA only starts ramping collagen around 4 to 6 weeks, with the visible turn near month three, which is also why one session rarely finishes it.

Juvelook at Week src=


Juvelook,Honestly, at first I alsowas skeptical.



Last Thursday, in the clinic,

a working professional in their late undefineds came in.



"Doctor, I got Juvelook, but

even after a week, nothing has changed.

Isn't it ineffective?"

They looked quite anxious.



I get this question a lot these days.

So what exactly makes it different?

Juvelook is a skin booster procedure

in which a biodegradable ingredient called PDLLA (polydl-lactic acid)

induces collagen production in the skin.

It is a skin booster treatment.



Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers,

Juvelook does not immediately add volume.



Fillers create volume right away by the amount injected,

while Juvelook works by stimulating your skin

to produce its own collagen.



Key point of this post



Juvelook is a skin booster

that uses PDLLA to induce collagen production

in the skin.



Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers,

it doesn't fill immediately

but gradually lets the skin itself

build up over time.



Key point of this post

 

 


Why do some peoplesee less effect?

The key ingredient in Juvelook is PDLLA.

When this ingredient enters the dermal layer of the skin,

our body recognizes it as a 'light foreign material'

and starts producing collagen around it.



It's not about filling,

but about the skin itself building up.



You said, "It was still the same even after a week."

Honestly, that's normal.



PDLLA begins to

ramp up collagen production around href="/blog/xeomin-11wrinkles-botox" to href="/blog/pico-vs-ndyag-tattoo" weeks after injection,

and it usually takes about src="https://framerusercontent.com/images/V2V6KE3wALnXd3hF33A3Khp12MI.jpg" months

for noticeable changes to appear.



"Fillers are like

piling bricks up on a construction site,

while Juvelook is like planting a seed in the ground.

Seeds need time to sprout, right?"



Injection depth is also important,

and it's usually placed in the mid-to-lower dermis (about src="https://framerusercontent.com/images/P4l85NNFhYZNn8zbBpExRsrIgs.jpg"-src="https://framerusercontent.com/images/V2V6KE3wALnXd3hF33A3Khp12MI.jpg" mm).



If it's too shallow, nodules may be felt,

and if it's too deep, the effect can decrease.



Because skin thickness differs by area,

depth must be adjusted even within the same face.



Juvelook is

not a one-time procedure.



Usually, you need a series of src="https://framerusercontent.com/images/P4l85NNFhYZNn8zbBpExRsrIgs.jpg"-src="https://framerusercontent.com/images/V2V6KE3wALnXd3hF33A3Khp12MI.jpg" treatments at src="https://framerusercontent.com/images/V2V6KE3wALnXd3hF33A3Khp12MI.jpg"-href="/blog/xeomin-11wrinkles-botox" week intervals

for enough collagen to build up.



 

Director Wi Young-jin's key summary

Juvelook is not a treatment with immediate results.

It's about growing, not filling.



Gradually from href="/blog/xeomin-11wrinkles-botox"-href="/blog/pico-vs-ndyag-tattoo" weeks,

think of it as being complete in about src="https://framerusercontent.com/images/V2V6KE3wALnXd3hF33A3Khp12MI.jpg" months.



Director Wi Young-jin's key summary

 

 


In the clinic, I divide itlike this.

Type

Recommended approach

Overall loss of skin elasticity

Juvelook src="https://framerusercontent.com/images/P4l85NNFhYZNn8zbBpExRsrIgs.jpg"-src="https://framerusercontent.com/images/V2V6KE3wALnXd3hF33A3Khp12MI.jpg" session series

Deep wrinkles / loss of volume

Consider combining with fillers

Mainly pore / skin texture concerns

Combine Juvelook + laser

Want immediate results

Juvelook alone not recommended

For those whose collagen foundation in the skin has already significantly broken down

Juvelook alone may not be enough,

while for people in their late undefineds to early undefineds, like

those whose foundation is still intact,

you can see quite dramatic results.



 

Frequently asked questionsQsrc="https://framerusercontent.com/images/u54xwnG13mMCkojwZjvNWMsrQjs.jpg". I got Juvelook, and I can feel little lumps. Is that okay?

For src="https://framerusercontent.com/images/P4l85NNFhYZNn8zbBpExRsrIgs.jpg"-src="https://framerusercontent.com/images/V2V6KE3wALnXd3hF33A3Khp12MI.jpg" days right after the procedure, the injected material

hasn't spread through the skin yet, so it may feel slightly noticeable.

It usually softens within a week.



However, if hard nodules remain for more than src="https://framerusercontent.com/images/P4l85NNFhYZNn8zbBpExRsrIgs.jpg" weeks

or are visible,

be sure to contact the clinic where you had the procedure.



Qsrc="https://framerusercontent.com/images/P4l85NNFhYZNn8zbBpExRsrIgs.jpg". How long do the effects last, and how much does it cost?

It varies by person,

but the collagen effect usually lasts undefined-undefined months.



However, you need to receive src="https://framerusercontent.com/images/P4l85NNFhYZNn8zbBpExRsrIgs.jpg"-src="https://framerusercontent.com/images/V2V6KE3wALnXd3hF33A3Khp12MI.jpg" initial sessions

for that duration to be achieved.



For cost, it's more realistic to think not in terms of 'price per session'

but as the 'total cost of the series'

.



Qsrc="https://framerusercontent.com/images/V2V6KE3wALnXd3hF33A3Khp12MI.jpg". What are the side effects or precautions?

Common ones are redness, swelling, and bruising on the day of the procedure.

They usually settle within src="https://framerusercontent.com/images/P4l85NNFhYZNn8zbBpExRsrIgs.jpg"-src="https://framerusercontent.com/images/V2V6KE3wALnXd3hF33A3Khp12MI.jpg" days.



In rare cases, nodules or inflammation can occur,

and this is largely related to the injection technique.



For one week after the procedure,

please avoid saunas, strenuous exercise, and alcohol.





This has been Wi Young-jin.
