Hello.
Lost facial elasticity? JUVELOOK and RADIESSE® together firm up both surface and deep layers.
Dr. Hanmi Jung of Heal House Gangnam Branch explains how to combine JUVELOOK and RADIESSE® for concerns about facial sagging that becomes noticeable in the afternoon. This article summarizes the differences in the roles of these two collagen boosters—which address both the outer and inner layers of the skin—and the reasons for combining them.
I am Hanmi Jung, Director of Heal House Gangnam Branch.
Lately, whether it is due to the weather or age,
have you ever felt that your skin elasticity is not what it used to be?
In the morning, after carefully applying makeup and heading to work, it seemed fine,
but after lunch, around 3 PM, when you look in the restroom mirror,
you often feel like your entire face has drooped.
This makes it awkward to touch up your makeup.
Especially on the way home, tired,
seeing your sagging face reflected in the subway screen door or elevator mirror,
you have probably experienced disappointment
at least once.
"When did my facial elasticity drop this much?"
If you feel upset about it,
now it is time to consider a definite solution that goes beyond superficial skincare
and fills both the surface and deeper layers of the skin
at the same time.
We recommend the combination of
'JUVELOOK' and 'RADIESSE®', which nurture the skin's natural strength rather than just working on the surface.
Why Your Face Sags in the Afternoon
As you enter your 30s, your skin undergoes gradual changes.
In particular, collagen in the body decreases, making the skin thinner,
and pores become vertically elongated due to gravity, deepening fine lines.
The phenomenon of noticeably reduced elasticity in the afternoon
is not simply a problem of the skin surface (epidermis).
It is likely because the deep dermis layer, which should firmly support the skin,
and the structural support have both collapsed.
This is why collagen booster treatments that rebuild the pillars from the dermis layer
are necessary.
Collagen Booster Comparison: JUVELOOK vs RADIESSE®
It is important to choose the most optimized Skin Booster
according to each individual's skin condition.
We hope you compare the differences between
'JUVELOOK', which addresses the superficial texture of the skin surface, and 'RADIESSE®', which improves deep structural elasticity,
and then make your choice.
JUVELOOK
PDLLA + HA (hyaluronic acid)
Refines rough skin texture, alleviates superficial fine lines, tightens pores, and cares for skin density
Stimulates collagen regeneration by stimulating the dermis layer
For those concerned about uneven texture, fine lines on the skin surface, and pores
RADIESSE®
CaHA (calcium hydroxylapatite)
Restores collapsed elasticity structure, improves natural volume and firm elasticity
Stimulates fibroblasts and improves the ECM (extracellular matrix) environment
For those concerned about overall reduced elasticity and sagging without firmness
The 'Lift Combo' Process for Perfect Synergy
For complex skin aging accompanied by
Complex skin aging requires
combining JUVELOOK and RADIESSE®
Layering procedures can produce a synergistic effect.
① In the deep layers of the skin (subcutaneous fat and deep dermis),
RADIESSE® is injected
to firmly rebuild the collapsed structural framework and elasticity,
② In the relatively superficial dermis,
JUVELOOK is injected densely
to improve sagging vertical pores and fine wrinkles on the surface.
After the procedure, combining LDM for skin soothing care
can help alleviate any bumpiness, swelling,
or redness that may occur immediately after the procedure.
Safety & Results Checklist for the Lift Combo
RADIESSE® is a proven formulation that has received FDA approval in the United States
and approval from the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety,
JUVELOOK is also highly biocompatible and, over time in the body,
is based on an ingredient (PDLLA) that gradually breaks down and is absorbed.
In these collagen booster procedures, just as important as the safety of the formulation itself
is that accurate understanding of the target skin layer and injection of the appropriate amount
have a decisive impact on the results.
Because JUVELOOK and RADIESSE® act on different layers,
a diagnostic process that carefully assesses each individual's skin thickness, degree of elasticity loss,
and facial anatomical structure
must precede the procedure.
Heal House avoids excessive volume injection
or an artificially overfilled look.
Instead, based on objective skin analysis before the procedure, we inject only the necessary formulations
into each skin layer at the correct depth,
following the principle of improving the skin's natural, healthy extracellular matrix (ECM) environment.
We provide treatment based on principles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is it safe to receive JUVELOOK and RADIESSE® at the same time?
Yes, they are often performed together.
JUVELOOK primarily improves the texture of the superficial dermis,
while RADIESSE® acts as a support structure in the deeper layers,
so their respective target skin layers generally do not overlap.
Performing the two procedures together allows for separate treatment of the surface and deeper layers,
enabling more precise and efficient improvement of elasticity.
Q. When will I start seeing results after the procedure, and
can I return to daily life immediately?
There may be some bumpiness,
mild swelling, or redness after the procedure,
but these usually subside within a few days, allowing you to resume daily life right away.
Because the principle is not to forcibly fill with a foreign substance
but to stimulate your own collagen production,
changes begin to appear gradually about 3 to 4 weeks after the procedure
and progress over several months.
The timing and degree of perceived results vary by individual.
Q. Are there any special precautions after the procedure?
For about a week, to prevent inflammation,
smoking, alcohol, jjimjilbangs (Korean spas), saunas, and strenuous exercise
and strenuous exercise.
Also, do not excessively press
or rub the treated area,
and be sure to apply moisturizer
and sunscreen thoroughly.
