Injection room for Juvelook collagen booster treatments at Umi Clinic, Myeongdong — **2–3 sessions** Collagen builds over 1–3 months

Quick answer

What is Juvelook?

Juvelook is a Korean collagen-stimulating skin booster made of poly-D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA) combined with hyaluronic acid. Once injected into the dermis, the PDLLA particles gradually trigger your own collagen production, so the skin becomes thicker, smoother and firmer over several weeks.

It is used in Seoul for fine lines, crepey skin, enlarged pores and shallow acne scars. Juvelook Volume is a denser version for mild volume loss. It is a gentler, skin-level alternative to Sculptra.

How Juvelook works at Umi

Every visit is doctor-led and explained in English, from the first skin check to aftercare.

Numbing

Micro-injections
The reconstituted product is placed evenly in the dermis by needle or cannula.
Aftercare
Gentle massage as advised; avoid saunas, alcohol and intense exercise for 1–2 days.

Before & after

How Juvelook rebuilds collagen

PDLLA particles act as a scaffold that prompts fibroblasts to lay down new collagen, so skin thickens and texture refines gradually.

FAQ

Juvelook questions

Juvelook or Sculptra?

Both stimulate collagen with polylactic acid. Juvelook uses smaller PDLLA particles placed at skin level for texture and fine lines; Sculptra (PLLA) is placed deeper for volume restoration.

Is Juvelook painful?

Numbing cream keeps it comfortable. Most people feel small pricks and mild pressure.

When will I see results?

Skin quality improves gradually over 1–3 months as new collagen forms.

Can it help acne scars?

Yes, it can soften shallow scars, often combined with lasers or subcision for deeper ones.

Do foreigners pay more?

No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
