JuveLook Nodules,

Things I Learned After Experiencing It 3 Years Ago

Hello.

I’m Lee Youngjin from Beautystone Clinic.

In fact, this story began before we officially introduced the product,

when I personally performed the procedure on our manager,

and a small nodule developed.

Before bringing in a new product, our clinic

always has me, Director Kim Ga-eul, and our managers receive the demo first.

Our basic rule is that

we have to experience it ourselves before recommending it to patients.

It was the same with JuveLook.

Everyone tried it themselves to see how it felt and what the procedure was like.

But as the procedure went on,

the particles unique to JuveLook got stuck in the needle,

causing it to clog from time to time.

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

but it eventually became a problem. A nodule formed on the manager.

That was when it started.

I thought, 'We can't just keep using this as is; we need to find a solution.'

So I began seriously looking for a way to address it.

"After getting JuveLook,

I feel like a lump has formed"

is the kind of concern I’m talking about.

More people than you’d expect

send me

messages like this.

A few days after the procedure,

something may be

felt under the skin.

Or some people

say it feels

bumpy.

They say they can't tell

whether it's a real nodule

or just temporary swelling.

This time,

we’re going to take a deep dive into

JuveLook nodules.

From why they happen

to how you should respond,

I’ll organize everything for you in one place.

JuveLook nodules,

what are they exactly?

JuveLook is an injectable formulation containing

PDRN and HA (hyaluronic acid).

It helps with skin regeneration,

and the important point here is

that it contains HA.

Hyaluronic acid has a strong

ability to draw in

surrounding moisture.

If it stays pooled under the skin and

absorbs moisture, it can become locally

raised and clumped together.

That’s what makes it feel

like a nodule in our hands.

To classify it accurately,

there are two main situations

we can divide it into.

1. Early nodule

Occurs within a few days after the procedure,

and is usually due to

injection depth or volume issues.

2. Delayed nodule

Appears weeks to months later,

and involves inflammation or

an immune response.

These two have different causes,

and the way to handle them

is completely different.

Why do nodules form?

To be honest,

the causes of nodules

aren’t just one simple thing.

Based on the cases I personally

encounter in the clinic,

I’ll organize them for you.

1. Injection depth problem

It needs to be injected

accurately into the dermis,

but if it’s too shallow, it clumps.

2. Excessive injection in one area

If too much is injected into one point,

that area

clumps locally.

3. Individual skin differences

Some skin types react

especially sensitively

to hyaluronic acid.

4. Pressure or friction after the procedure

If you press hard or

massage too aggressively right after the procedure,

it can shift to one side.

How can you tell whether it’s a nodule or not?

Swelling or clumping within 1 to 3 days

after the procedure is usually

not a nodule.

It is likely a temporary effect

where hyaluronic acid draws in moisture

and makes the area look raised.

So I give patients

these criteria.

1. Even after 2 weeks,

a palpable lump

is still there.

2. It hurts when pressed,,

and redness

is accompanied by the symptom.

3. The surface looks uneven

or it is noticeable

even to the naked eye in the mirror.

If even one of these three applies,

you should definitely

get it checked at a clinic.

What to do if a nodule develops

Just because a nodule forms

does not mean there is

necessarily a big problem.

In the case of a non-inflammatory nodule,

you can inject a dissolving enzyme

to resolve it quickly.

In the case of an inflammatory nodule,

antibiotics or

steroid injections may be needed.

Never try to squeeze it yourself

or massage it hard.

It will only spread the symptoms.

For reference, the dissolving enzyme

does not affect the PDRN

ingredient.

If you’re worried about the regenerative effect,

you can rest assured

about this part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. It’s been 3 days since the injection, and it’s clumping.

In the early stage,

it is very likely to be swelling.

Please watch it for about 2 weeks.

Q. If it’s dissolved, does that mean it won’t work anymore?

The HA may decrease,

but the PDRN remains

and continues to provide its effect.

Q. Is there a way to prevent it?

The injector’s experience is important,

and you should avoid vigorous exercise

or saunas on the day of treatment.

The right answer is to consult thoroughly before the procedure

and decide on the amount

that’s right for you.
