Juvelook in Suwon: Possible reactions after treatment

After getting Juvelook, redness, swelling, small bruises, and bumpy marks at the injection sites can commonly occur and usually go down within a few days. Rarely, reactions such as firm lumps or delayed inflammation can remain over time, so if you are planning treatment in Suwon, it is a good idea to know the types of reactions and how to handle them in advance.

• Redness, swelling, and the raised injection marks known as embossing are commonly seen right after the procedure and usually go down within a few days.
• Bruising can occur depending on the injection site and blood vessel condition, and it may take 1 to 2 weeks to fade.
• A lump that can still be felt after several weeks, or redness and warmth that keep worsening, should be checked at the clinic where you had the treatment.

What reactions appear right after treatment?

Juvelook is a treatment in which a powder-form ingredient is dissolved in liquid and injected into the dermis in multiple small amounts. Because the needle enters multiple times and the liquid settles into the skin, the injection sites may become red and slightly swollen.

The small hill-like bumps that rise at each injection site are called embossing. As the injected liquid spreads into the surrounding area and is absorbed, it usually subsides within one to three days, though it may show a bit longer in areas with thin skin.

On the day of treatment, a burning or tight sensation may also occur. This feeling usually fades with time, and a cold compress wrapped in a clean towel can help.

Why does bruising occur, and how long does it last?

When the injection needle passes through a small blood vessel beneath the skin, bruising can occur at that spot. The degree of bruising can differ by area even in the same person, and areas with thin skin, such as around the eyes or mouth, may show the color more strongly.

Bruising usually starts out red or purplish, then turns yellow as it fades. It typically disappears within 1 to 2 weeks, but the duration varies by individual.

Blood-thinning medications, certain supplements, and alcohol can affect how much bruising occurs. If you are taking any medication, please mention it during the consultation, and do not stop taking it on your own without consulting your doctor.

Rare reactions and signs that require immediate contact

Juvelook's ingredients break down slowly within the body, and rarely, a firm lump (nodule) may be felt at the injection site, or a delayed redness reaction may occur. Injection depth and amount, skin condition, and individual constitution all play a role.

Infection or an allergic reaction can also rarely occur. Effects and responses vary by individual, so if you notice changes like those below, please contact the clinic where you had the treatment and get it examined.

• Swelling and redness keep getting worse even after three days
• Warmth, pus, or severe pain develops at the treatment site
• A new lump appears or grows weeks later
• Itching or hives spread beyond the face

Infection usually appears within a few days after treatment, while lumps and delayed inflammation can appear weeks to months later. Please remember that the reactions to watch for differ depending on the timing.

What should I do before and after treatment to reduce reactions?

Avoid heavy drinking the day before and on the day of treatment, and if you have inflamed acne or a wound on your face, please show it during the consultation beforehand. Depending on your skin condition, it may be better to postpone the treatment date.

For about two to three days after treatment, it is best to avoid saunas, steam rooms, exercise that causes heavy sweating, and alcohol. Face washing and light moisturizing are usually fine from the evening of the treatment day, and makeup is often advised to start the next day.

Even if the embossing bothers you, it is best not to press or rub it hard with your hands. Whether massage is needed depends on the treatment method and will be advised by the medical staff.

FAQ

Q. Is it a problem if the embossing doesn't go down within a day?

A. Embossing can take time as the injected liquid spreads and is absorbed, so it can commonly be visible for one to three days. If it has not reduced even after three days, or if redness and warmth worsen together, please contact the clinic where you had the treatment to get it checked.

Q. From when can I cover bruising with makeup?

A. Light makeup is often possible from the day after the injection site has healed. However, be careful not to rub the injection site hard, and if any stinging remains, it is better to wait about one more day.

Q. Is it normal for my face to feel tight and dry after treatment?

A. The skin can become temporarily sensitive from the injection stimulation, causing a tight or dry feeling. Use a gentle, low-irritation moisturizer, and it is best to avoid exfoliants or retinol-based cosmetics for a few days.

Q. How long should I apply a cold compress after treatment?

A. On the day of treatment, when there is redness and a burning sensation, a cold compress wrapped in a clean towel is often applied in short sessions of around 10 minutes at a time. Be careful not to place ice directly on the skin or leave it on too long, as this can irritate the skin.

Q. If I can feel a lump, will it go away on its own?

A. Small lumps felt right after treatment often shrink along with the swelling. If a lump remains or grows even after several weeks, it is best to get an examination to check the cause.
