Juvelook is divided into two types, Skin and Volume, according to particle size and content, and the choice depends not on which treatment is better but on which concern a person wants to improve.
Both products share the same principle of stimulating fibroblasts to induce the body's own collagen production, but the particle size differs by about 1.7 times and the content by about 4 times, so the areas they are applied to differ, and in many cases side effects such as nodules also come from the hydration process and control of the injection depth rather than from the treatment itself.
How do Juvelook Skin and Juvelook Volume work?
When Juvelook is injected into the skin, the ingredient stimulates fibroblasts and delivers a signal to produce collagen, and as the fibroblasts generate the body's own collagen, volume fills in naturally from within. This is a different mode of action from the way a filler fills immediately.
What separates Skin from Volume is not which has the superior effect but particle size and content. Compared with Juvelook Skin, Juvelook Volume has particles about 1.7 times larger and contains about 4 times more of the ingredient, so the areas they are applied to are clearly divided.
Which concerns is Juvelook Skin suited to?
Compared with Volume, Juvelook Skin has smaller particles and is injected only as far as the shallow dermal layer, and it is the treatment considered first when the surface texture feels rough or firmness feels reduced. This is because the fine particles spread through the shallow layer and tighten the dermal environment densely.
The three changes of smaller pores, softer fine lines and smoother skin texture are results that appear as Juvelook Skin spreads through the shallow dermal layer and remodels a weakened dermal environment, and the treatment can be considered even if only one of these concerns is present.
- Smaller pores — the particles spread through the shallow dermal layer and tighten widened pores
- Softer fine lines — the tightened dermis makes fine lines gentler
- Smoother skin texture — the texture is refined as the weakened dermal environment is remodelled
Is Juvelook Volume always a better treatment than Skin?
Compared with Juvelook Skin, Juvelook Volume has particles about 1.7 times larger and contains about 4 times more of the ingredient, so it is injected as far as the lower dermis, where it supports sunken areas and creates contour through the body's own collagen production.
An overall lack of volume, such as hollow cheeks or nasolabial folds, improves as Juvelook Volume induces the body's own collagen production in the deep dermal layer and fills the area gradually, and unlike a filler, it fills without a foreign-body sensation. If surface texture or pores are the concern, Juvelook Skin is the better fit.
Why do nodules form after a Juvelook treatment?
Juvelook Skin and Volume both start as a powder formulation and must go through a hydration process in which the powder is diluted with physiological saline at a set ratio. If the powder does not dissolve evenly and clumps together, the clumps are injected as they are and remain as nodules.
Even when the dilution has been completed perfectly, the injection depth and spacing must be controlled with care. Because the thickness of the dermal layer differs slightly from person to person, the position also has to be adjusted while feeling the resistance of the skin through the fingertips. This is why set figures alone are not followed.
- Following the hydration guide precisely — diluting the powder while keeping to the ratio and time
- Controlling injection depth and spacing — keeping to the dermal depth that suits Skin or Volume
- Checking skin resistance by fingertip feel — adjusting the position to the thickness of the dermal layer
