Juvelook Volume stimulates collagen production, so volume develops gradually and naturally over time. If you need immediate volume, an HA filler may be a better fit.
01Overview
Juvelook Volume
A collagen booster that gradually fills hollow areas
Juvelook Volume is an injectable collagen booster combining PDLLA (a biodegradable polymer) with hyaluronic acid. It prompts the skin to produce its own collagen, restoring volume in areas that have become hollow.

How we approach it
The same device can be run very differently.
With a collagen booster, the most important idea is remodelling — and macrophages are central to it. M1 macrophages clear the wound and start inflammation; M2 macrophages activate fibroblasts, build collagen and rebuild tissue.
The ideal sequence is a sufficient early M1 response → a timely switch to M2 → collagen synthesis → the signal ending → realignment. If early inflammation is excessive, the M2 phase runs long and the sheer volume of collagen grows — which instead produces hard, contracted, lumpy scarring.
What makes skin better is not increasing the total amount of collagen. It is restoring something close to normal dermis: the right turnover between type I and type III, the thickness and direction of the fibres, how they bind, and the balance with elastin and GAGs.
That is why we work mainly with Juvelook Volume and Ultracol, which can form a moderate — not excessive — amount of collagen while keeping the inflammatory response low.

02What to expect
Changes over time
As the injected material gradually biodegrades, collagen production continues — so rather than filling instantly, the skin fills in progressively over time.
01Right after treatment
Small bumps and needle marks at the injection sites are possible and usually settle within 1–3 days.
022–4 weeks
This is when we check the first response. The next session is given in this window.
03After the course
As sessions accumulate, many people notice changes in skin texture, hydration and firmness. This varies by individual.
04Maintenance
Once the course is complete, care moves to maintenance every 3–6 months.
03Device & Technology
Juvelook Volume Device
PDLLA + HA
As the biodegradable polymer breaks down slowly, it induces collagen formation. The change is gradual rather than an immediate fill.
Hydration prep, 5 days to 1 week
So that the particles are evenly spaced, we start preparing the hydration 5 days to 1 week before treatment. That is why same-day treatment is not possible.
Correct dose, correct technique
To reduce adverse responses such as nodules, a board-certified dermatologist injects personally, following the dilution and injection protocol.

06FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does Juvelook Volume work, and how is it different from Juvelook Skin?
Juvelook Volume is an injectable that combines PDLLA (a biodegradable polymer) with hyaluronic acid, prompting the skin to produce its own collagen while the material gradually breaks down. Rather than filling the area instantly, it works by building change over time. Juvelook Volume is used to restore volume in hollow areas, while Juvelook Skin is used for texture concerns such as fine lines and pores; which one suits you is decided after we confirm your goal at consultation.
Who is Juvelook Volume suited to, and when is another treatment a better choice?
We consider it for those bothered by hollow areas who want gradual, natural-looking volume change without the feel of filler. On the other hand, if you want to see volume right after injection, a hyaluronic acid filler may be a better fit. Even the same hollowness can call for a different approach depending on its cause, so we decide together after consultation.
How long does the treatment take, and how painful is it?
The treatment itself takes about 20-30 minutes, and we describe the pain as low to moderate. Topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to reduce discomfort during injection. How it feels varies by area and individual sensitivity.
Will I bruise or swell? What should I be careful about afterward?
Slight swelling or bruising may appear for about 1-3 days, and it usually settles within a few days. For the first 24 hours, do not rub or press the injection sites, and avoid alcohol, strenuous exercise, and saunas on the day of treatment. We recommend waiting 2 weeks before massage or intensive skin treatments, and please contact the clinic right away if pain worsens or you notice any unexpected changes.
When will I notice results, and how long do they last?
Because Juvelook Volume needs time for collagen to form, many people notice change as sessions accumulate rather than right after treatment. We usually check the first response at around 2-4 weeks before proceeding to the next session. Results have been reported to last over 1 year after completing the course, but how long they last varies by individual depending on skin condition and lifestyle.
How many sessions do I need?
A typical course is 2-3 sessions at 3-4 week intervals. It is difficult to judge the effect from 1 session, and the change becomes clearer once the course is complete. The timing of maintenance after the course is decided together based on your progress.
How is it different from filler?
Filler is a volumizing material that creates volume the moment it is injected, whereas Juvelook Volume stimulates collagen production so the area fills in gradually. Filler may suit areas that need defined shape, such as the nose or chin, while Juvelook Volume may suit natural change across broader areas. Depending on the goal, the two are sometimes planned together.
Why isn't same-day treatment available?
A collagen booster needs to be fully hydrated so that the particles are evenly spaced; this allows collagen to form as intended and keeps inflammatory reactions down. For that reason, we start preparing the hydration 5 days to 1 week before your booked appointment, and we do not treat on the same day. Going through this step helps lower the chance of side effects such as nodules or clumping.
Can I have it together with other treatments?
It is sometimes combined with filler, Ultracol, Botox, and other treatments depending on the goal. Whether to do them on the same day or space them apart is decided after consultation, taking into account the load on your skin and the order of treatments. If you have had any treatments recently, please let us know at your visit.
Are there side effects? Is there anything I should tell you before treatment?
Adverse reactions such as nodules (small lumps) have rarely been reported, so as a rule a board-certified dermatologist injects it directly, following the set dose and technique. Be sure to tell us at your visit if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking anticoagulants, or have ever had a hypersensitivity reaction to the product's ingredients. Treatment may be postponed if there is inflammation or infection at the injection site.
How much does it cost, and how do I book?
The cost depends on the product, volume, and number of sessions, and is confirmed after consultation. Reference prices can be found on the price list on our website. Because we prepare the hydration of Juvelook Volume 5 days to 1 week in advance, please book ahead.

Aftercare
Skin boosters · regenerative injections
Needle marks and slight swelling last a day or two. Treatment is usually given in several sessions, so keeping to the interval matters more than the recovery itself.

- Days 2–3Swelling settles. Bruising can last up to a week for some people.
- Week 1Changes in skin texture start to show. You can return to your usual routine.
- Between sessionsTypically 3–5 sessions at 2–4 week intervals, depending on the product and skin condition.
Precautions
- Sauna, hot baths, strenuous exercise and alcohol: for 2 days after treatment
- Long periods in swimming pools or public baths on the day of treatment
When to contact the clinic
- The injection area becomes increasingly firm and red
- Pain worsens together with warmth
- Bruising lasts longer than 2 weeks
Next session · next visitKeeping to the interval set at consultation has a real effect on the result.

Evidence & comparison guides
Juvelook vs. Rejuran vs. SkinVive — Choosing by Goal →
The right question is not 'which booster is better' but 'what is my skin missing.' If the goal is collagen production and texture, consider Juvelook first; if it is restoring regenerative capacity, Rejuran; if it is inner dryness and glow, SkinVive.
Acne Scar Treatment Combinations by Scar Type →
Because depressed scars are almost never one type — most faces carry a mix of rolling, boxcar, and ice-pick scars, and each type responds to a different treatment. The improvement tends to be greater when subcision (to release tethering), TCA cross (for narrow, deep scars), and resurfacing lasers are combined according to a map of your scars.
