As we age, the skin’s natural collagen production gradually decreases, leading to more visible signs of ageing. Replenishing and stimulating collagen production can therefore help restore a brighter, more radiant, and youthful-looking complexion. One of the popular treatments chosen by many people for this purpose is
Juvelook
.
What Is Juvelook?
Juvelook, commonly known by some as
“Liquid Thread” (Hybrid Biostimulator)
, is a collagen-stimulating injectable that combines
Poly-D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA)
, a collagen biostimulator, with
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
. It helps stimulate new collagen production beneath the skin, supporting firmer, tighter, and naturally youthful-looking skin.
How Does Juvelook Work?
Once Juvelook is injected into the skin, it helps increase hydration, making the skin appear more plump, hydrated, and radiant in the initial stage. The PDLLA component then helps stimulate new collagen production beneath the skin, particularly
Type I and Type III collagen
. This collagen gradually develops over approximately 3-6 months following treatment. Over time, the skin may become denser and stronger, while fine lines and the appearance of enlarged pores may gradually improve, resulting in smoother and firmer-looking skin.
Is Juvelook Safe?
Juvelook is generally considered to have a favorable safety profile when an appropriately approved product is used, such as one that meets relevant standards or approvals including
KFDA in Korea, CE certification in Europe, or approval from the relevant Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
. The treatment should also be performed by an experienced physician, with appropriate aftercare following the injection.
Advantages and Considerations of Juvelook
Juvelook is a popular aesthetic treatment, and some initial skin changes may be noticeable after treatment, while collagen-stimulating effects gradually develop over time. However, there are still certain considerations that should be taken into account before undergoing Juvelook injections.
Advantages
- Helps replenish skin hydration without creating an overly filled appearance, allowing for more natural-looking results
- Supports long-term collagen stimulation and skin structure, helping improve the appearance of fine lines, pores, and overall skin quality over time
- Can be injected into various areas, such as the nasolabial folds, under-eye area, backs of the hands, neck, and other areas with fine lines
- Requires relatively little downtime, allowing patients to return to normal daily activities
- Offers a favorable safety profile when a standardized product is used and treatment is performed by an experienced physician
Considerations
Juvelook can provide immediate hydration after treatment, while its collagen-stimulating effects take time to develop fully.
Mild post-injection reactions may occur, such as swelling, redness, or bruising, which usually subside within a few days.
The treatment should be performed by an experienced physician to help ensure effective, precise, and safe results.
How Is Juvelook Different from Filler, Skin Booster, and Rejuran?
- Juvelook is a collagen biostimulator that can improve skin hydration shortly after injection while continuously stimulating new collagen production. Over time, the skin may become firmer and stronger, while fine lines gradually improve. Results may last approximately 12-18 months.
- Filler is primarily used to restore lost volume and reshape facial contours, with visible results immediately after treatment. Common treatment areas include the nasolabial folds, chin, nose, temples, under-eye area, and other facial contouring zones. Filler is not primarily designed to stimulate new collagen production, and results typically last around 6-18 months.
- Skin Booster involves injecting skin-nourishing ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, and other compounds into the skin to enhance hydration, brightness, and a dewy appearance. However, Skin Boosters may be less suitable for deeper folds or significant skin laxity, and their effects generally last around 6-12 months, often requiring more frequent treatments.
- Rejuran is a Polynucleotide (PN) treatment derived from salmon DNA. It is primarily used to support skin repair and regeneration, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the skin from within. It may be suitable for sensitive or delicate skin. Results usually become more noticeable within approximately 2-4 weeks. Individuals with salmon or fish allergies should inform their physician before treatment, and several sessions may be required for more noticeable results.
Unlike filler, Juvelook does not simply “add volume.” Instead, it works by “stimulating the skin to repair and rebuild itself” from within while supporting long-term collagen production, making it an option for individuals seeking ongoing improvement in skin quality.
Juvelook for Acne Scars
Juvelook is increasingly used in dermatology and aesthetic clinics because of its collagen-stimulating properties. By supporting collagen production and improving skin structure, it may help uneven skin texture and depressed acne scars gradually appear smoother and shallower without creating an excessively swollen or bulky appearance.
Combining Juvelook with Other Treatments
Juvelook can also be incorporated into combination treatment plans with other aesthetic procedures when appropriately planned and performed by an experienced physician. Commonly combined treatments include:
- HIFU
- Ulthera, RF, or other skin-tightening devices
- Laser treatments such as Fractional CO2, Pico Laser, or YAG
- Rejuran
- Exosome or Regenerative Boosters
- Facial muscle-relaxing programs
- Filler
- Collagen Biostimulators in other treatment areas
Who Is Juvelook Suitable For, and How Much Does It Cost?
Juvelook may be suitable for a variety of concerns, particularly for individuals beginning to notice signs of ageing such as skin laxity, reduced firmness, dehydration, fine lines, acne scars, or enlarged pores.
At a standardized clinic with treatment performed by an experienced physician, the approximate cost may range from THB 15,xxx-19,xxx, depending on the amount of product used, treatment area, and individualized treatment plan.
Before and Aftercare for Juvelook
Before Juvelook treatment, general injectable-treatment precautions may include:
- Avoiding certain medications or products that may increase the risk of bleeding or bruising. Patients should consult their physician before stopping any prescribed medication.
- Avoiding alcohol for approximately 24-48 hours before treatment.
- Avoiding aggressive skin procedures shortly before the injection.
- Juvelook should not be injected into areas with active inflammation, infection, or skin rash. These conditions should be treated before undergoing the procedure.
How Long Does Juvelook Take to Settle, and When Will Results Be Visible?
After Juvelook injections, small bumps caused by the injection usually blend into the skin by the following day, as Juvelook is designed to disperse well within the skin. Needle marks generally fade within the first 1-3 days. If bruising occurs, it usually improves within approximately 3-7 days. The treatment typically begins to settle within around 5-10 days, depending on the individual.
In the short term, the skin may appear more plump and hydrated immediately after treatment, with these effects becoming more noticeable within the first 1-7 days. For longer-term results, Juvelook works by stimulating collagen production from within. The skin may begin to feel firmer after approximately 3-4 weeks, with more noticeable improvement at around 6-12 weeks. Full results may become apparent approximately 2-3 months after treatment.
How Long Do the Results Last?
Long-term results may last approximately
12-18 months
, depending on several factors, including skin condition, age, aftercare, and the number of treatment sessions received.
Is Juvelook Injection Painful?
In general, patients receiving Juvelook injections may experience some mild discomfort, but it is usually considered tolerable. The level of discomfort can vary depending on the treatment area, the physician’s injection technique, and each individual’s sensitivity to pain.
Clinics commonly apply topical anaesthetic before treatment to help minimize discomfort, allowing patients to feel more comfortable during the procedure.
How Many Juvelook Sessions Are Needed for Noticeable Results?
For general facial skin concerns, such as mild wrinkles or reduced skin firmness, approximately 2-3 sessions may be recommended, with intervals of around 3-6 weeks between treatments.
For acne scars or uneven skin texture, approximately 3-4 sessions may be considered. Individuals with deeper acne scars may require combination treatment with other procedures. For the under-eye area, around 2-3 sessions may be recommended. The appropriate number of treatments should be individually assessed by a physician.
Juvelook results generally become more noticeable within approximately 6-12 weeks, with fuller results appearing around 2-3 months after treatment, as time is required for new collagen production.
Juvelook has become a popular aesthetic treatment because it can help improve skin hydration, firmness, and plumpness while stimulating new collagen production from within to support longer-term skin quality. However, Juvelook injections should be performed at a properly regulated clinic with appropriate safety standards and by an experienced physician.
