What concerns is JUVGEN suitable for?

It is particularly effective for "fixed wrinkles" that remain even when the face is at rest, rather than expression wrinkles on the glabella, forehead, or around the eyes that appear when making facial expressions.

In other words, it is suitable for improving nasolabial folds, marionette lines, forehead wrinkles, glabellar lines, crow's feet, and vertical lip lines. However, for dynamic wrinkles caused by the movement of facial expression muscles, the duration of JUVGEN results may be relatively shorter. This is because wrinkles caused by muscle contraction itself, such as forehead wrinkles or frowning, are difficult to address fundamentally with collagen regeneration alone. In such cases, JUVGEN treatment should be combined with botulinum toxin type A treatment to reduce muscle contraction, and regular botulinum toxin type A treatments after JUVGEN are necessary to prevent recurrence.

It is very effective for nasolabial folds and marionette lines, but depending on the cause of the wrinkles, JUVGEN may not be suitable.

Nasolabial folds and marionette lines are caused by a combination of factors including skin sagging, fat migration, and collagen loss. Among these, for narrow, deep wrinkles caused by thinning skin and loss of elasticity, JUVGEN, which induces autologous collagen, shows excellent results.

However, for deep nasolabial folds with significant volume loss that require immediate filling, a volume approach such as dermal filler, RADIESSE®, or Sculptra may be more suitable. If sagging is the main cause, lifting procedures such as Thread Lifting or Ultherapy PRIME® should be performed together.

JUVGEN is used to gradually flatten the surface by inducing collagen to fill depressed areas, such as acne scars. This is because the cross-stimulation of CO₂ and hyaluronic acid induces a regenerative response in the dermis beneath the scar, and the newly generated collagen fills the depressed tissue, reducing the depth of the scar.

Scars do not disappear completely with a single treatment; improvement is often observed gradually over 3 sessions at 4-6 week intervals. Depending on the nature of the scar, it may be better to combine it with other treatments such as laser, so it is advisable to establish an individualized plan step by step after assessing the scar condition.

JUVGEN is well suited for those who prefer natural regeneration rather than volume filling and wish to improve wrinkles and depressions caused by collagen loss. It is particularly considered for individuals who found the foreign body sensation or overfilling of dermal fillers burdensome and prefer a more natural improvement.

Conversely, if immediate large-volume filling is needed or if dynamic wrinkles primarily caused by facial expression muscles are the main concern, a different approach may be more suitable. The most accurate way to determine whether your skin concern is a "type that needs regeneration" or a "type that needs filling or another approach" is through a consultation with a specialist.
