When Can I Exercise, Drink Alcohol, and Smoke After Juvelook? — Samsung-dong Dermatologist

Hello. We are Chang Dermatology, opening the window to confidence through dermatology.

Juvelook is a treatment with such an outstanding collagen-producing effect that it is often called an autologous tissue-regenerating collagen booster.

Polylactic acid, the main ingredient in Juvelook, stimulates collagen production and helps regenerate the skin, which can improve overall facial volume and elasticity.

Today, we will explain what the Juvelook treatment is and let you know when you can exercise after Juvelook.

What is the main ingredient in Juvelook?

Polylactic acid (PLA), the main ingredient in Juvelook, is a biocompatible polymer.

After inducing collagen production within the skin tissue, it naturally breaks down, is absorbed, and disappears, so there is a low risk of remaining in the skin and causing side effects.

This ingredient is highly effective for improving volume, elasticity, enlarged pores, fine lines, and skin regeneration.

Why is aftercare important after Juvelook treatment?

Many people with various skin concerns, such as reduced skin elasticity, insufficient volume, enlarged pores, and rough skin texture, are choosing Juvelook.

Since many people find it difficult to take time away from their daily activities, they often ask when they can exercise after Juvelook, how to manage aftercare, and what activities should be avoided after the treatment.

Thorough aftercare following treatment can enhance the treatment results, help prevent side effects, and extend the duration of the results, so it is important to check the instructions carefully and follow them.

When can I exercise after the treatment?

It is best to avoid exercising for about one week after Juvelook.

Strenuous exercise immediately after the treatment can raise blood pressure and cause heat in the face, which may worsen swelling and bruising.

Light walking and stretching are generally fine, but strenuous exercise should be avoided as much as possible. You should also refrain from postures or exercises that may put pressure on your face.

Is it okay to drink alcohol and smoke after the treatment?

Exercise should be avoided for about one week after Juvelook, and during this period, it is also recommended that you avoid drinking alcohol and smoking.

Nicotine constricts blood vessels, which can interfere with collagen production and wound healing and may worsen inflammatory responses, so caution is needed.

Alcohol dilates blood vessels and may worsen swelling and bruising, so smoking and drinking should be avoided for approximately one to two weeks.

When can I wash my face and apply makeup?

On the day of the treatment, it is recommended that you wash your face gently, avoiding the treated areas. Be careful not to rub your face too vigorously when cleansing.

Starting the next day, wash your face gently with lukewarm water, as if softly rinsing it, and avoid overly irritating scrubs.

Makeup should be avoided immediately after the treatment, but light makeup can be applied starting the day after the treatment.

Are there any recommended aftercare methods?

Small lumps (nodules) may develop under the skin as a side effect after Juvelook treatment. Gentle massage is recommended as a way to help prevent this.

For five days after the treatment, gently massage the treated areas to help distribute the Juvelook particles injected into the skin evenly.

To reduce the risk of side effects and extend the duration of the results, be sure to check the various precautions explained today, including when to exercise after Juvelook and how to wash your face and apply makeup.
