As we age, our skin’s collagen production naturally decreases, making us look older. Replenishing and stimulating collagen production is therefore crucial in restoring a radiant, youthful, and younger-looking complexion. One popular procedure is Juvelook treatment.

What is Juvelook?
Juvelook, also known as “liquid thread” (Hybrid Biostimulator), is a collagen stimulant that combines Poly-D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA), a collagen stimulant, with hyaluronic acid (HA). It stimulates the production of new collagen beneath the skin, resulting in firmer, tighter, and naturally youthful-looking skin.
How Juvelook works
When injected into the skin, Juvelook helps to increase skin hydration, making the skin plump, radiant, and instantly more vibrant. Afterward, the PDLLA in Juvelook stimulates the production of new collagen (Type I and Type III) beneath the skin. This collagen production continues steadily for 3-6 months after injection, resulting in denser, firmer skin, reduced wrinkles and pores, and a tighter, smoother complexion.
Is Juvelook safe?
Juvelook injections are relatively safe, provided the product is certified, such as by the Korean Food and Drug Administration (KFDA), the European CE, or the Thai Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, it must be administered by a qualified physician and proper post-injection care must be provided.
Advantages and disadvantages of Juvelook.
Juvelook is a popular procedure with noticeable results that are often seen immediately after treatment. However, there are some precautions to consider when undergoing Juvelook injections.
Pros
- Provides hydration to the skin without feeling overly thick, resulting in a natural look.
- It helps stimulate collagen production over the long term, creating new collagen in the skin, gradually improving wrinkles, pores, and skin structure.
- It can be injected into various areas, such as nasolabial folds, under the eyes, back of the hands, neck, and other wrinkles.
- The recovery period is short, and you can resume your daily activities normally.
- It is very safe.
Observations
- Juvelook provides immediate hydration to the skin after treatment, but it takes time to see the full effects of collagen stimulation.
- Minor irritation may occur after the injection, such as swelling, redness, and bruising, which usually subsides within a few days.
- It should be administered by a qualified physician for effective, precise, and safe results.
How does Juvelook differ from fillers, skin boosters, and Rejuran?
Juvelook is a collagen stimulant that provides immediate skin hydration after injection. It also continuously stimulates the production of new collagen, resulting in firmer, stronger skin, reduced wrinkles, and results that last 12-18 months.
Fillers are substances used to fill in missing areas in the face, showing immediate results. They are commonly used to fill in nasolabial folds, chin, nose, temples, under-eye circles, or to reshape the face, etc. However, fillers do not stimulate the production of new collagen. The results of filler injections usually last about 6-18 months.
Skin Booster involves injecting nourishing substances such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, etc., into the skin to increase hydration, brighten the complexion, and give it a dewy look. However, Skin Boosters may not be effective in addressing deep wrinkles and sagging skin with long-lasting results, as the effects typically last 6-12 months, requiring more frequent repeat treatments.
Rejuran is a natural salmon DNA extract, a polynucleotide (PN/PNN) with key properties that repair and regenerate skin. It stimulates and reduces inflammation, strengthening the skin from within. It’s suitable for people with sensitive or delicate skin. Results gradually become noticeable within 2-4 weeks after treatment. However, it’s not suitable for those allergic to seafood or salmon, and multiple injections are needed to achieve more significant results.
Juvelook isn’t just about “injecting substances” like fillers, but rather “stimulating the skin to repair and regenerate” from within. It also provides long-lasting collagen stimulation, making it cost-effective in the long run and suitable for both normal and sensitive skin.
Juvelook and acne scar treatment.
Juvelook injections are a popular procedure in dermatology and beauty clinics because they stimulate collagen production, improving skin fullness and filling in uneven skin texture or acne scars without causing swelling or an unnatural appearance. Juvelook is suitable for various types of acne scars, such as rolling scars, boxcar scars, skin needing firmness, or skin experiencing collagen loss.
Juvelook can be combined with other procedures.
In addition to its current popularity, Juvelook can also be combined with other procedures without causing harm if performed by a skilled physician. Popular procedures that can be combined with Juvelook include:
- HIFU
- Ulthera, RF, or other skin tightening devices.
- Lasers such as Fractional CO2 Pico Laser or YAG.
- Rejuran
- Exosome or Regenerative Boosters
- Bo
- Filler
- Collagen biostimulators in other areas.
Who is Juvelook suitable for, and approximately how much does it cost?
Juvelook injections are suitable for a variety of needs, whether you’re starting to experience or are showing signs of aging, such as sagging skin, loss of firmness, dryness, wrinkles, acne scars, or enlarged pores. In terms of cost, if done at a reputable clinic with experienced doctors, it ranges from 15,000 to 19,000 baht. Considering the long-term results, it’s considered well worth the cost.
Pre and post-Juvelook treatment care.
The skincare routine before and after Juvelook treatment is similar to that of other procedures.
- Avoid medications that increase the risk of bleeding.
- Alcohol consumption should be avoided 24-48 hours prior to the procedure.
- Avoid any previous invasive procedures.
- Juvelook should not be injected if the face is inflamed, infected, or has a rash. These conditions should be treated and resolved before undergoing the procedure.
Regarding post-procedure care, avoid steam rooms, saunas, strenuous exercise, and alcohol consumption for the first 48-72 hours after the procedure. Additionally, you may experience slight swelling or tenderness after the procedure, but these symptoms should improve within 3-7 days. If symptoms persist, consult a specialist physician.
How many days does it take to settle in? How many days to see results?
For Juvelook injections, the small bumps that appear after the procedure will blend into the skin by the next day because the molecules of Juvelook are well-integrated into the skin. Generally, the needle marks will fade within the first 1-3 days. If there is bruising, it will fade within 3-7 days, and the skin will begin to settle in about 5-10 days after the procedure, depending on the individual.
In terms of results, in the short term, the skin will appear plumper and more hydrated immediately after the procedure, with noticeable results within the first 1-7 days. For long-term results, Juvelook stimulates collagen production from within, making the face look firmer within 3-4 weeks, with more pronounced results within 6-12 weeks, and full results visible 2-3 months after the procedure.
How long does it last?
In terms of long-term results, they can last 12-18 months, depending on various factors such as skin condition, age, post-procedure care, and the number of injections.
Is getting a Juvelook injection painful?
Juvelook injections generally cause some discomfort, but it’s usually tolerable. The level of pain depends on the injection site, the doctor’s technique, and individual pain sensitivity. Clinics typically apply a local anesthetic to minimize pain, so patients can rest assured.
How many Juvelook injections are needed to see noticeable results?
For Juvelook injections, for general facial skin issues such as shallow wrinkles or sagging skin, approximately 2-3 sessions are recommended, spaced 3-6 weeks apart. For those with acne scars or uneven skin texture, approximately 3-4 sessions are needed. In cases of very deep acne scars, other procedures may be combined with Juvelook injections. For under-eye areas, approximately 2-3 sessions are required. The results of Juvelook will gradually become visible within 6-12 weeks and reach their full potential in 2-3 months after treatment, as Juvelook requires time for new collagen production to achieve optimal results.
Juvelook is a very popular procedure because, in addition to its noticeable and effective results, it also stimulates new collagen production, making the skin look moisturized, firm, and plump from within, resulting in long-term skin improvement. However, getting Juvelook injections still requires a reputable clinic with high safety standards and injections administered by a skilled physician.
