Gouri in Suwon: Aftercare for the First 48 Hours

In many cases, daily activities are possible right after Gouri, but since redness and slightly raised marks at the injection site mostly settle within 48 hours, aftercare during the first two days is important. During this period, the basics are not pressing or rubbing the injection sites without the medical staff's guidance, avoiding heat and sweating, and washing your face and moisturizing gently. If you had Gouri in Suwon, take care of the first two days and the following week's habits separately.

• On the day of the procedure and the next day, avoid pressing or rubbing the injection site and wash your face gently.
• Redness and slightly raised marks mostly settle within 48 hours, with individual variation.
• Avoid saunas, strenuous exercise, and alcohol for a few days, and apply sunscreen and moisturizer consistently.

What to Do from Right After the Procedure Through the First Night

Gouri is a procedure that injects liquid PCL into the dermis, and the procedure itself takes about 20 minutes. Once it's finished, the injection sites may look red and show small raised spots here and there. You can go straight home to rest after the procedure, and in many cases you can continue with light daily tasks as usual.

On the first day, avoid touching your face with your hands, and in the evening it's best to wash your face gently with lukewarm water. Pat your face dry with a towel instead of rubbing.

If there's a burning sensation, you can try a brief cold compress wrapped in a clean towel. On the first night, it's best to sleep on your back so your face isn't pressed into the pillow.

Are There Habits to Avoid Through the Second Day?

While the injected liquid substance is settling broadly within the skin, it's best to avoid heat and pressure. Avoid saunas, jjimjilbang, long hot showers, and sleeping face-down with your face pressed into the pillow for about two days.

Makeup can usually be worn lightly starting the next day. Avoid patting the injection sites firmly with a puff or brush, and for cleansing, it's better to rinse with foam rather than rubbing.

Habits like resting your face or chin on your hand can also press on the injection area. Try to consciously avoid touching your face for the first two days.

What to Focus On from Day 3 to One Week

Even after redness and raised marks have settled, your skin may remain sensitive for a few days. It's best to pause strongly stimulating products such as retinol, exfoliants, and scrubs for about a week. For sweat-inducing exercise and alcohol, confirm that your skin's reaction has settled before slowly resuming.

Consistently applying sunscreen when going outside, and applying a generous amount of moisturizer, can be helpful habits. If you've booked another treatment or skin care appointment for the same area, check the schedule again with the medical staff.

Changes in skin texture and elasticity often appear gradually over several weeks after the raised marks settle. Rather than checking the mirror often and feeling impatient, observe the changes over the course of several weeks.

What About Reactions That Remain After Two Days?

After Gouri, redness, slightly raised marks, swelling, bruising, and a temporary stinging sensation can occur. Redness and raised marks mostly settle within 48 hours, but bruising may last around one to two weeks.

In areas where the skin is thin or where more was injected, raised marks may remain visible a bit longer. If the size is gradually decreasing, it's often fine to simply keep watching how it progresses.

In rare cases, a lump may be felt, or reactions such as inflammation, infection, or allergy may occur. If redness keeps getting worse after two days, or if warmth and pain increase, please contact the clinic where you had the treatment for an examination. Effects and reactions vary by individual.
