Juvelook Volume Takes a Month to Show | Juvelook in Gangnam Seoul, Korea Skin Booster Guide

"I had the procedure, but it doesn't seem very filled."

Sometimes, we receive such messages in the evening on the day a patient received Juvelook Volume.

That's right. It won't be filled on that day.

This procedure is not about filling, but rather about making it fill.

Please take just one minute to read this.

The high-molecular PDLLA component induces collagen production within the skin.

Since the skin itself, not the injected material, is the main agent creating the results, time is needed.

Judging by photos taken immediately after the procedure will inevitably lead to disappointment.

If the amount is increased to match the target shape on the day of the procedure, the addition of collagen a few weeks later may result in more volume than intended.

Therefore, the initial amount is set lower than the target.

The approach is to observe the progress and add more in the next session if needed.

Contrary to immediate filling procedures, starting with a seemingly insufficient amount is the standard practice.

(※ The effectiveness and reaction may vary depending on the individual's skin condition, and the suitability of the procedure is determined through consultation with medical staff.)

Even with the same volume, how it is spread and in which layer it is injected determines the final shape.

• If too shallow, nodules may be palpable.
• If concentrated in one spot, the surface may appear uneven.
• If thinly dispersed over a wide area, the boundaries will be less noticeable.

This procedure is used for areas with gentle depressions, such as Indian bands or side cheeks, so dispersion is particularly important.

We recommend taking photos before the procedure with the same lighting and angle.

• Immediately after the procedure: Do not judge.
• 2-3 weeks: May appear more sunken as swelling subsides.
• One month: Start comparing from this point.
• Before the next session: Compare with previous photos to determine if reinforcement is needed.

Knowing this flow from the start will prevent impatience at the 2-week mark.

The reason why pricing should be viewed on a per-session basis was covered in Why Juvelook Volume Resists a Per-Session Price.

Is there no change on the day of the procedure?

Since the injection method induces collagen production rather than filling, there isn't a significant immediate change. It is more accurate to compare after one month.

It looks more sunken at 2-3 weeks.

This can be temporarily felt as the initial swelling subsides. Collagen production occurs after that.

Can't I inject a lot at once?

Collagen added later may cause it to swell more than intended. It is safer to start low and adjust in subsequent sessions.

I heard about palpable nodules.

Nodules may be palpable if the injection layer is shallow or concentrated in one spot. The layer and dispersion are important.

How many sessions are needed?

This varies depending on the extent and depth of the depression. The next amount is determined by observing the progress between sessions.

Bruising or swelling may remain at the injection site for a few days.

It is advisable to avoid saunas and strong massages for the first two days.

Whether self-massage is appropriate depends on the area and injection layer, so you should follow the guidance of your medical staff.

The cost is not determined by the single-session volume alone.

It varies depending on the scope of the area treated, the total number of sessions, the interval between sessions, and whether diagnosis and post-care are included.

It is more accurate to provide the exact cost after a consultation to assess the extent of the depression.

O.N Clinic is conveniently located near Gangnam Station, making it easily accessible by subway.

Before your visit, you can comfortably inquire about any questions you may have by chatting with us now, and you can coordinate your session plan and appointment schedule through a consultation.

It is more accurate to determine the volume and layer after confirming the distribution of depressions during an in-person consultation.
