Juvelook Volume in Bongdam: Is It Okay to Press on My Face After Treatment?

After getting Juvelook Volume, unless the medical staff has given separate massage instructions, it's best not to press or rub the injection site hard. For the few days it takes the material placed in the deep layers to settle, avoiding pressure, heat, and sweat, and watching the swelling and bruising subside, is the core of the care. If you had Juvelook Volume in Bongdam, manage your care separately for the first three days and the weeks that follow.

• Follow the medical staff's guidance on whether and how to massage, and don't press hard on your own.
• For the first few days, avoid habits that apply pressure or heat, such as sleeping face-down, saunas, intense exercise, and drinking.
• Changes often appear gradually over several weeks, so it's best to assess based on how things look weeks later.

Is there a reason I shouldn't press hard on the injection site?

Juvelook Volume is a treatment that places PDLLA with slightly larger particles at a high concentration into the deep layers. Right after injection, the material continues settling evenly into the surrounding tissue. If you press or rub one spot hard during this time, the material can be pushed in an unwanted direction, or swelling and bruising can increase.

Depending on the treatment method, light massage may sometimes be advised, so check with the medical staff right after the treatment whether massage is needed and how to do it. If you've been given specific instructions, it's best to follow the recommended frequency and intensity.

How should I go about daily life for the first three days?

Daily life is often possible from the day of the treatment, but for about the first three days, it's best to avoid saunas, steam rooms, exercise that causes heavy sweating, and alcohol. This is because changes in heat and blood circulation can make swelling and bruising last longer.

When sleeping, lie flat on your back and avoid burying your face in the pillow. If you tend to sleep on your side, you can raise the pillow slightly or place cushions on both sides. For exercise with many face-down movements or positions where your face touches the mat, such as yoga or Pilates, it's also best to lower the intensity for a few days.

Wash your face gently with lukewarm water, and makeup is often applied starting the day after the injection sites have healed. When applying foundation, don't spread it firmly with your fingers over the injection sites — pat it on gently instead.

When can I get dental treatment or facial care?

Dental treatment that requires opening your mouth wide for a long time, or skin care and meridian massage that press firmly on the face, can put pressure on the injection site. If possible, it's best to postpone such appointments for a few weeks after the treatment, or let the provider know about the treatment beforehand.

If treatments that use heat, such as lasers or lifting devices, target the same area, it's best to leave a gap between them. Decide the timing for the next treatment with the medical staff based on how your recovery is going.

If you already have a dental appointment scheduled, let us know the date during the consultation. We can decide together whether to adjust the treatment date or the dental appointment.

What reactions during recovery require contacting the clinic right away?

After Juvelook Volume, swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness when pressed can occur, usually subsiding within a few days to one to two weeks. It's common for the area to look slightly puffy right after the treatment because of the injected liquid, then settle down after a few days.

Rarely, a lump (nodule) may be felt, or inflammation, infection, or an allergic reaction may occur. In the cases below, don't wait for your next visit — contact the clinic where you had the treatment.

• If the skin at the injection site turns white or blue and the pain keeps getting worse
• If you develop warmth, pus, or throbbing pain
• If a new lump that appeared weeks later grows larger

Since results and reactions vary by individual, recovery speed can differ even with the same care. If you're worried about how quickly things are subsiding, don't judge on your own — ask the clinic where you had the treatment.

FAQ

Q. Can I frown or laugh widely after the treatment?

A. Normal facial expressions are usually fine. However, it's best to avoid massages or facial exercise devices that overuse your facial muscles for a few days.

Q. Is it okay to wear a mask?

A. You can wear a mask, but choose one that's roomy enough not to press hard on the injection site. Also check that the straps aren't continuously pressing on your cheeks or temples.

Q. Is it okay to wear glasses?

A. If the injection was in the temples or front cheeks, check that the glasses' temple arms or nose pads aren't pressing on the injection site. If you're worried about pressure, it's best to wear lighter glasses for a few days.

Q. When should I come in to check my progress?

A. Since changes often appear over several weeks, progress is usually checked a few weeks after the treatment. Confirm with the medical staff on the day of the treatment whether to come back and when.

Q. When is a good time to take photos to compare after the treatment?

A. Right after the treatment, swelling makes an accurate comparison difficult. Take a before photo in the same lighting and angle, then take another photo weeks later to compare — this makes it easier to see the changes.

Summary

The key to care after Juvelook Volume is not pressing or rubbing the injection site without the medical staff's guidance, and avoiding heat and pressure for the first few days. If you had the treatment in Bongdam, also adjust plans involving pressure, such as dental treatment or facial care, and watch the changes unfold over several weeks. Recovery and changes vary by individual.
