Gouri Skin Booster: What to Know Before Getting the Treatment

Hello.

I’m Dr. Tae-oh Park, director of Lilive Clinic, where we conduct research to help reduce pain.

When skin elasticity begins to decline, the first things that tend to become concerning are pores and skin texture.

Even with thorough cleansing or changing your skincare products, you may feel that there has been no fundamental change.

At that point, many people naturally start looking into skin boosters.

Today, I’ll explain the principles of the Gouri skin booster, which many people have been researching lately, the effects you may expect,

and who it may be suitable for.

• How does Gouri work?

Gouri is a skin booster based on PCL (polycaprolactone).

As PCL slowly breaks down inside the skin, it stimulates collagen production.

Its approach differs from that of fillers, which add volume from the outside.

Because it creates an environment in which the skin itself can undergo changes, the results tend to look natural.

PCL is a biodegradable material that has been used in the medical field for many years.

It is naturally absorbed inside the skin, and one of its advantages is that there is no concern about engraftment.

2. What changes can you expect?

The changes that appear after a Gouri treatment are not usually immediate; rather, they build up over time.

① A pore-tightening effect, as increased skin elasticity helps tighten the area around the pores

② A change in which the skin texture becomes more even

③ A natural restoration of volume in the cheeks, helping to refine the contours of the face

These are the three changes that people most commonly say they notice.

Because collagen production follows a cycle, this treatment is the type in which changes are noticed over the course of several weeks.

3. How does it differ from other treatments?

There are several treatments that are often compared with Gouri.

Rejuran contains PDRN- and PN-based ingredients and is known for supporting skin regeneration and moisture restoration.

An embossed effect may appear after the treatment, so the skin’s surface may require care for several days.

Juvelook and Sculptra are based on PLLA ingredients and are specialized in restoring facial volume.

However, massage is required after treatment to help prevent nodules.

Compared with these two treatments, Gouri has the characteristic of not causing nodules, and no separate aftercare massage is required.

There is also no reaction that rises to the surface of the skin after treatment, so many people return to their daily routines the very next day.

4. How painful is the treatment?

Gouri can be performed after applying a topical anesthetic cream, without sedation anesthesia.

There may be some swelling or redness after treatment, but these generally subside within a day or two.

5. It may be suitable for these people

• People who feel that their skin has become generally saggy as their skin elasticity has declined, or whose pores have enlarged and skin texture feels rough

• People who want to start without sedation anesthesia and with minimal 부담

• People who have experienced nodules with collagen treatments

• People who need to return to their daily routines quickly after treatment

If any of the above applies to you, Gouri may be suitable for you.

Of course, suitability may vary depending on your skin condition, so we recommend determining the treatment approach through a thorough consultation before the procedure.

I hope today’s information was helpful to those researching the Gouri skin booster.
