Hello.

I am Dr. Wi Young-jin from Beauty stone Clinic.

To be honest, this story begins before we officially introduced the product,

when I performed the treatment on our chief manager

and a small nodule formed.

At our clinic, before introducing any new treatment,

Dr. Kim Ga-eul, our managers, and I always undergo the treatment ourselves first as a demonstration.

Our golden rule is that

we must experience it ourselves before recommending it to our valued patients.

Juvelook was no exception.

We all received the treatment to see how it felt and to check the entire procedure process.

But during the treatment,

the unique particles of Juvelook began to clog up the needle

from time to time.

At first, we brushed it off as a minor inconvenience that could happen during any procedure,

but that eventually became the issue. Our manager ended up getting a nodule.

From that moment on,

I thought, 'We can't just use this as it is, we need to find a solution.'

So, we began investigating and looking for the best way to handle it.

Many of you share this exact concern:

"I feel a small lump

after getting Juvelook."

More people than you might think

send me messages

with this exact worry.

Some say that even after several days,

they can still feel something

underneath their skin.

Others mention they feel

an uneven, bumpy

texture on their face.

And they find it hard to tell

whether it is a true nodule

or just temporary swelling.

In this post,

we are going to dive deep

into the topic of Juvelook nodules.

From why they happen

to how we can manage them,

I will explain everything clearly.

Juvelook Nodules,

What exactly are they?

Juvelook is an injectable treatment

that combines PDRN

and HA (hyaluronic acid).

While these ingredients regenerate your skin,

the key thing to remember

is that it contains HA.

Hyaluronic acid has a strong properties

of drawing in moisture

from its surroundings.

If it pools under the skin

and absorbs moisture, it can cause

a localized, bumpy clump.

This is what we feel with our hands

and perceive as

a nodule.

To categorize them accurately,

it is best to divide them

into two main categories.

1. Early-onset Nodules

These occur within several days post-treatment,

usually due to injection depth

or the volume injected.

2. Late-onset Nodules

These appear weeks or months later

and are typically accompanied by

an inflammatory or immune response.

These two have different causes

and require completely different

approaches to manage.

Why do nodules form?

Honestly speaking,

there isn't just one single reason

why nodules form.

Let me break it down based on

the typical cases I encounter

in my consultation room.

1. Injection Depth Issues

The product needs to be injected

precisely into the dermis.

If injected too shallow, it can clump up.

2. Excessive Volume in One Spot

If too much volume is injected

into a single point, that specific area

will experience localized clumping.

3. Individual Skin Sensitivity

Some skin types are naturally

more sensitive and reactive

to hyaluronic acid.

4. Post-Treatment Pressure or Friction

Pressing too hard or giving an excessive

massage right after the treatment

can cause the product to shift and gather in one spot.

How to tell if it's a nodule or not

Most of the swelling or clumping

you feel within 1 to 3 days post-treatment

is actually NOT a nodule.

It is highly likely to be a temporary

puffy appearance caused by

hyaluronic acid drawing in moisture.

That is why I give our patients

the following checklist to help them out.

1. Even after 2 weeks,

the felt lump

still remains.

2. It hurts when pressed,

or is accompanied by red, irritated

skin symptoms.

3. The surface looks uneven or bumpy,

and the bumps are clearly visible

when you look in the mirror.

If you experience even one of these three,

you should definitely visit the clinic

to have it checked.

What to do if a nodule forms

Just because a nodule has formed,

it doesn't mean something

terrible has gone wrong.

In the case of non-inflammatory nodules,

we can inject dissolving enzymes

to quickly resolve the issue.

For inflammatory nodules,

prescribing antibiotics or administering

steroid injections may be necessary.

Please do not attempt to squeeze it yourself

or massage the area aggressively.

Doing so will likely worsen and spread the symptoms.

For reference, the dissolving enzymes

do not affect

the PDRN active ingredients.

So if you are worried about losing

the skin regeneration benefits,

you can put your mind at ease on this point.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. It has been 3 days since my treatment and I feel a lump.

In the beginning, there is a very high

chance that it is just temporary swelling.

Please observe it for about 2 weeks.

Q. If I dissolve it, does that mean all benefits are gone?

While HA volume may decrease,

the PDRN ingredients remain behind

to continuously keep delivering results.

Q. Is there a way to prevent them?

The skill and experience of your doctor is key,

and you should avoid strenuous exercise

or saunas on the day of the treatment.

The best way is to have a thorough consultation

before the procedure to decide on the dosage

that is just right for you.

Warmly, Dr. Wi Young-jin.
