Why Lisoom

Overview PDLLA and HA Combined for Hydration
and Collagen Stimulation

Juvelook is a hybrid collagen booster that combines PDLLA (poly-D,L-lactic acid) microparticles with non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA).
The non-cross-linked HA provides immediate hydration and volume right after treatment, while the PDLLA microparticles stimulate fibroblasts in the dermis to gradually induce the body's own collagen production.

PDLLA is a biodegradable polymer known to break down naturally over time. It is usually given as a series of 2-3 sessions spaced 1-4 weeks apart, and the collagen effect settles in from about 6 weeks afterward. Results vary between individuals.

Collagen Stimulation SUTURE guide image

SutureCollagen Stimulation

PDLLA (Poly-D, L-Lactic Acid) microparticles stimulate fibroblasts in the dermis, inducing the body's own production of collagen and elastin. As a biodegradable polymer, it breaks down naturally over time and does not remain in the body.

Immediate Volume HYBRID guide image

HybridImmediate Volume

Non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) is combined in the formula, creating immediate volume and hydration right after treatment. The volume does not last as long as that of a cross-linked filler, but it addresses immediate change while the PDLLA collagen stimulation settles in.

Injection into the dermis is the standard, and the depth is adjusted according to the area and goal. Injecting too close to the surface increases the possibility of nodules, and injecting too deep reduces the collagen-stimulating effect. Depth control determines the result.

IncisionSeries Treatment

A series of 2-3 sessions spaced 1-4 weeks apart is the typical protocol. As the series accumulates, the collagen-stimulating effect settles in further. Subsequent maintenance treatments are decided during the consultation according to each person's skin condition and how long results last.

The Principles RESUM Keeps

Immediate volume and step-by-step collagen stimulation are addressed together in a single treatment.

Right Indication

Right Indication

Indication Assessment

During the consultation, we distinguish skin conditions that are suited to Juvelook from those that are not. It is often recommended for those who need recovery of dermal thickness and improved elasticity; when substantial volume enhancement is the priority, we suggest a cross-linked filler, and when simple dermal recovery is the priority, a PN booster.

Honest Timing

Honest Timing

How Results Unfold

Volume from the HA is visible right after treatment, and the collagen effect of the PDLLA settles in from about 6 weeks afterward. We explain in advance that a major change is difficult to expect from 1 session and that this is a treatment that builds up over a series.

Right Amount

Right Amount

Conservative Volume

Unlike cross-linked fillers, PDLLA cannot be dissolved with a dissolving enzyme, so starting with a conservative amount from the outset tends to be the safer approach. Because nodules are possible, depth control and dose adjustment determine the result. We recommend building up over a series rather than injecting a large amount at once.

PDLLA Collagen Stimulation + Immediate HA Volume

PDLLA Collagen Stimulation + Immediate HA Volume

Juvelook is a hybrid booster that combines PDLLA microparticles with non-cross-linked HA. While the non-cross-linked HA provides hydration and immediate volume right after treatment, the PDLLA stimulates fibroblasts in the dermis to gradually induce the body's own collagen production. A single treatment addresses both immediate change and long-term collagen recovery. · PDLLA (poly-D,L-lactic acid) microparticles · Immediate hydration and volume from non-cross-linked HA · Fibroblast stimulation and induction of the body's own collagen · Gradual breakdown as a biodegradable polymer

Depth Control & Conservative Dosing

Depth Control & Conservative Dosing

Juvelook is injected into the dermis as standard. Too shallow and the possibility of nodules increases, too deep and the collagen-stimulating effect is reduced, so depth control determines the result. Unlike cross-linked fillers, PDLLA cannot be dissolved with a dissolving enzyme, so we recommend starting with a conservative amount from the outset. It is usually given as a series of 2-3 sessions spaced 1-4 weeks apart. · Dermal injection with depth control is key · Conservative amount because it cannot be dissolved with an enzyme · Usually a series of 2-3 sessions at 1-4 week intervals · Collagen effect from about 6 weeks afterward

NOTICE

Precautions
Aftercare & Precautions

N · 01 Juvelook is a hybrid that pairs immediate hydration and volume from non-cross-linked HA with collagen stimulation from PDLLA, so it is advisable to start with the understanding that the two effects appear at different times.
N · 02 The collagen effect of PDLLA generally settles in gradually from about 6 weeks afterward, not right after treatment, so the result is not judged by the immediate change alone.
N · 03 Unlike cross-linked fillers, PDLLA microparticles cannot be dissolved with a dissolving enzyme, so we recommend starting with a conservative amount from the outset rather than injecting a large amount at once.
N · 04 Injection depth determines the result; too shallow and the possibility of nodules may increase, too deep and the collagen-stimulating effect may be reduced, so controlling depth within the dermis is important.
N · 05 Topical anesthesia is used to reduce pain, but this does not mean there is no pain at all; discomfort during injection and sensitivity to pain vary between individuals.
N · 06 It is usually built up as a series of 2-3 sessions spaced 1-4 weeks apart. Post-treatment reactions such as nodules and swelling, and how to care for them, are affected by depth and amount and are therefore explained during the consultation.

Doctor's Note

Juvelook is a hybrid booster that addresses immediate volume and gradual collagen together. PDLLA is an ingredient that cannot be dissolved with a dissolving enzyme, so starting with a conservative amount from the outset tends to be the safer approach. We recommend building up over a series rather than injecting a large amount at once, and we explain the expected course of results and the limitations honestly during the consultation.

01

PHASE I

Skin Goal Assessment

We consider whether to place more weight on immediate hydration and volume or on collagen recovery, and decide during the consultation whether Juvelook is suitable.

STEP

02

PHASE II

Topical Anesthesia & Dose Planning

Topical anesthesia is used to reduce pain, and a conservative injection amount is planned in view of the fact that the product cannot be dissolved with a dissolving enzyme.

DESIGN

PHASE III

Depth-Controlled Dermal Injection

PDLLA and HA are injected while controlling depth within the dermis, taking both the possibility of nodules and the collagen-stimulating effect into account.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

We have compiled the questions patients ask most often before a consultation.

Juvelook is a hybrid collagen booster that combines PDLLA (Poly-D, L-Lactic Acid) microparticles with non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA). The HA provides immediate volume and hydration, while the PDLLA stimulates fibroblasts in the dermis to gradually induce the body's own collagen production. A single treatment addresses both immediate change and long-term collagen recovery.
Cross-linked fillers create immediate volume with cross-linked HA and are then naturally absorbed, whereas Juvelook adds PDLLA collagen stimulation to immediate HA volume. Fillers can be dissolved with a dissolving enzyme, but PDLLA cannot, so conservative dosing from the start is important.
Right after treatment, the immediate volume and hydration from the non-cross-linked HA can be seen. The collagen-stimulating effect of the PDLLA begins to settle in after about 6 weeks and appears gradually. It is a treatment in which immediate and gradual changes appear together.
You can return to daily activities the same day. Redness and swelling around the injection marks settle within a few days, and bruising, if any, may last about 1 week. It is advisable to keep your schedule flexible for the first 2-3 days.
Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness may occur and settle within a few days. In rare cases, nodules, asymmetry, and hypersensitivity reactions have been reported. PDLLA cannot be dissolved with a dissolving enzyme, so conservative dosing from the start is important.
The estimate depends on the product used, the treatment area, and the number of sessions in the series. During your visit, we assess your skin condition and goals, decide on the product and number of sessions, and then provide an estimate.
