For Juvelook (VAIM) in Korea, ENTER Plastic Surgery in Seoul offers Juvelook Skin: 4 cc of poly-D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA) delivered into the skin with Cure Jet (Baz Biomedic), a needle-free injector, aimed at gradual collagen building for fine, crepey texture. A session takes 20–30 minutes under numbing cream, and the clinic plans a course of three sessions four weeks apart.
Is it for you?
Who Juvelook Skin suits
Juvelook Skin works on the quality of the skin itself: the crinkled look under the eyes or across the cheeks, enlarged pores, shallow acne marks and skin that has thinned with age or sun. It is not a volume product. Where a cheek has flattened or a fold has deepened, Juvelook Volume, the line used for lost volume, or a hyaluronic acid filler addresses the shape instead.
Because the change comes from collagen the skin builds over weeks, the treatment calendar matters for visitors. A course of three sessions four weeks apart means three visits to Seoul or a stay of around two months. One session squeezed in before a flight home starts the course without completing it, and the result at that point is partial.
Usually a good fit
- Fine, crepey texture on the cheeks or under the eyes
- Thin skin that has lost firmness without marked sagging
- Shallow rolling acne marks or enlarged pores
- Able to return for three sessions four weeks apart
- Preferring gradual change to an instant effect
We may suggest waiting
- Deep volume loss or sagging that needs lifting
- Active acne, eczema or infection in the area
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- A history of keloids or reactions to injectables
- An event or photos within the next few days
- Expecting the full result after one visit
How it works
How Juvelook builds collagen from PDLLA
PDLLA is a biodegradable polymer from the polylactic acid family, the same chemical group as some dissolving surgical threads. Placed in the dermis, its particles set off a mild, controlled tissue reaction: the skin's repair cells respond by forming new collagen strands around each particle while the polymer itself is slowly absorbed. That is why Juvelook is grouped with biostimulators instead of fillers, and why its effect builds across a course.
Cure Jet changes how the dose reaches the skin. The device pushes small droplets through the skin surface under pressure across the whole treatment area, so there are no repeated needle passes, and small raised bumps mark where the product sits for the first days.
Direct trials of skin-booster use are scarce, and most published PDLLA data concern volume injections. In a randomized, evaluator-blinded trial across several centers, injectable PDLLA was non-inferior to hyaluronic acid for nasolabial folds (Ting, 2024). A cohort study in Asian patients described PDLLA for the lower eyelid and stressed that anatomy, product preparation and injector skill shape the outcome (Lin, 2022). For plans that pair a biostimulator with toxin, filler or energy devices, a 2024 systematic review of 29 studies reported improvement but rated the evidence weak because of small samples and inconsistent protocols (Tam, 2024).
Skin check and mapping
At consultationTexture, skin thickness and any active breakouts are checked, the areas to treat are marked, and makeup is removed before the skin is cleansed.
Numbing the treatment area
A numbing cream is spread over the treatment area and left on so the skin is less sensitive when the device touches it.
Needle-free Cure Jet passes
20–30 minutesThe 4 cc dose of Juvelook Skin is delivered with the Cure Jet injector in even passes, leaving small raised bumps where the product settles.
Aftercare, then the next session
4 weeks laterThe bumps flatten over 1–3 days as the product absorbs. Keep water and makeup off for 3–4 hours; the second session follows four weeks on.

Prices
What a Juvelook course costs in South Korea
Juvelook Skin is priced per session, and one session is the 4 cc dose delivered with Cure Jet. The card shows the fee before VAT, and 10% VAT is added at payment. With three sessions in the plan, the full course comes to three session fees plus VAT.
Juvelook Volume, the line used for lost volume in the cheeks or folds, is priced per 1 cc and as an 8 cc set on the clinic's collagen stimulator price list, so it does not appear on this card.
Prices exclude VAT (10% VAT is added at payment).
Recovery
Healing after Juvelook, day by day
Small raised bumps show where the product sits. Keep water and makeup off the skin for 3–4 hours so the tiny entry points can close.
The bumps flatten as the product is absorbed. From the next day, makeup or concealer can cover any remaining marks.
Bruising or small marks can last 3–7 days, depending on the person. Do not treat a lump, a spreading red patch or rising pain yourself; contact the clinic straight away.
The second session is planned four weeks after the first, and the third four weeks after that, while collagen keeps forming in between.
Safety
Juvelook side effects and risks
- Redness, swelling, tenderness and raised bumps on the treatment day.
- Bruising and small marks that can take 3–7 days to fade.
- Firm bumps (papules or nodules) under the skin, a recognized reaction to polylactic acid particles.
- Delayed inflammatory lumps (granulomas) that may surface months later and need medical treatment.
- Infection, or a flare of acne or cold sores (herpes) in the treated area.
- Darker patches after inflammation, especially in deeper skin tones.
- Less visible change than hoped, because the collagen response differs between people.
A 2025 meta-analysis of 25 biostimulator studies put satisfaction at 91% but found minor reactions frequent: pain in 92% of patients, bruising in 27% and nodules in 5%, with very large differences between studies (Smith, 2025). Those pooled numbers cover several products, so they describe the category and do not predict an individual result.

FAQ
Juvelook FAQ
What should I avoid right after Juvelook?
Avoid washing your face and wearing makeup for 3–4 hours so the tiny entry points can close. From the next day, makeup or concealer is fine. Leave the raised bumps alone; they flatten as the product absorbs over one to three days, and pressing or massaging them is not needed.
Can I fly home the day after Juvelook?
Yes. The clinic's guidance allows a flight home on the treatment day or the next day. Marks or bruising can still show for three to seven days, so plan photos around that, and contact the clinic if a lump becomes painful, hot or red after you leave.
Which doctor focuses on injectables at ENTER Plastic Surgery?
Dr. Choi Yul, a family medicine specialist, focuses on Botox, injections and pigment treatment at the clinic. Juvelook is a medical treatment given at the clinic, and the treating physician for your session is arranged when you book your visit.
Does the Juvelook price include VAT?
No. A Juvelook Skin session of 4 cc with Cure Jet is ₩600,000 before VAT, and 10% VAT is added at payment. A full course of three sessions costs three session fees plus VAT, so ask for the total in an itemized written quote before you book flights.
How can I book Juvelook from outside Korea?
Fill in the form at the bottom of this page or send us a message on WhatsApp, and we will get back to you as soon as possible. English-speaking staff are available at the clinic. Say whether you can return for later sessions, because that decides how the course is planned.
Is there a deposit or cancellation fee for Juvelook?
Deposit and cancellation terms are given per booking and are not listed on this page. Get them in writing before paying anything, and check how moving the first session would shift the second and third, which are planned four weeks apart.
What is Juvelook used for?
Juvelook Skin is used for skin texture: fine crepey lines, thin skin, enlarged pores and shallow acne marks. It works through new collagen built over weeks, so the change is gradual. For lost volume in the cheeks or deep folds, the volume line or a hyaluronic acid filler is discussed.
How many cc of Juvelook is used in one session?
The clinic's Juvelook Skin session uses 4 cc, delivered across the treated area with the Cure Jet needle-free injector. The menu price is set for that 4 cc dose. Juvelook Volume is measured and priced per cc separately, because it is used for a different purpose.
Is Juvelook different from Rejuran?
Yes. Juvelook Skin uses PDLLA particles that prompt the skin to form new collagen over weeks, while Rejuran Healer is a polynucleotide injection aimed at supporting skin repair. At the clinic both are planned as three sessions four weeks apart, so the choice rests on the skin concern.
Does Juvelook hurt?
Numbing cream goes on first, and Cure Jet delivers the product without needle passes, but you can still feel pressure, stinging or warmth for a short time. In pooled biostimulator studies, pain during treatment was reported in 92% of patients, so expect some discomfort that settles quickly.
When will I see a difference after Juvelook?
The change appears gradually, because new collagen forms over the weeks after each session. Raised bumps in the first days are the product settling in the skin. Judging the course is easier a few weeks after the third session, and the degree of change differs from person to person.
