The syringe is prepared and placed by Dr. Hong Seung-hyuk, Dr. Maeng Woo-jae or Dr. Hong Yeong-ho, the three medical directors resident in the building, all board-certified Family Medicine specialists working in aesthetic dermatology. G Clinic is a Juvelook Official Certified Clinic, certified by VAIM Global, and the skin line and the eye line appear as separate items on the published sheet.
Juvelook is a collagen-stimulating injectable built on poly-D,L-lactic acid, abbreviated PDLLA, suspended in hyaluronic acid. The hyaluronic component gives a modest early smoothing; the PDLLA microspheres are the working part, sitting in the dermis and prompting your own tissue to build collagen across the weeks that follow. G Clinic publishes three items for it: a skin dose measured by the cubic centimetre, a full skin vial, and an eye vial for the orbital zone, which is mapped and quoted on its own. Nothing is bundled into a package, and the sheet rate applies to every patient who walks through reception. The clinic holds Juvelook Official Certified Clinic status from VAIM Global. You stay awake under topical numbing for the appointment. Whether your skin warrants a round at all, and how many, is settled face to face at a free consultation in Gangnam, Seoul.
Four stages. The first one carries the most weight, because a stimulator asks you for weeks of patience, and that has to be agreed before any vial is opened.
A director examines skin thickness, laxity, pore appearance and the fine surface lines that photograph badly, then looks separately at the orbital rim where the tissue is thinnest. Your medical history, any previous injectable, any implant or stimulator already in your face, and your tendency to lump or scar are all recorded here. This is also where the timetable is explained, because a patient expecting a mirror result on the way out has been mismatched to the material. The examination costs nothing.
Make-up is removed, the zone is cleansed and a topical anaesthetic is left on the skin long enough to take effect. While it works, the director marks where material will go and in what depth, since a stimulator placed too superficially is the origin of most visible lumps. For the eye line the marking stops short of the lid margin, and the anaesthetic is kept away from it.
Small deposits go in across the marked field at a measured spacing, keeping the material in the dermal plane where it is meant to sit. You are awake and can talk the whole way through, and you can ask for a break. Sedation forms no part of this visit; it exists as an optional extra at additional cost against other procedures on the clinic menu, and this website names no medication.
Cooling settles the immediate puffiness, and you leave with instructions the team will ask you to follow closely, because aftercare matters more for a stimulator than for most injections. A review date is set far enough out that there is something to review. No further round is sold to you on the day, and the director will only book one once your skin has shown what the first has done.
Two components share the vial and they work on completely different clocks. The hyaluronic acid is a carrier, and it hydrates and softens the surface for a short window after the appointment. The poly-D,L-lactic acid is a biostimulator: microscopic particles of a resorbable polymer that stay in the dermis after the carrier has gone, and are read by the surrounding tissue as something to respond to. That response is a gradual deposition of your own collagen around the particles, and it is the reason anybody books this treatment.
Two consequences follow from that design, and a director will spell out both. The first is that the early softening you notice in the first days is the carrier, and it fades; if you judge the treatment at that point, you are judging the wrong thing. The second is that whatever the collagen response builds is genuinely yours: it arrives slowly, it holds on its own terms, and it cannot be dissolved away if you dislike it. Both of those facts belong in your decision before a vial is opened.
Where a collagen stimulator sits against the other injectable materials on this menu, and how a director chooses between them for a given face, is set out on the Skin Boosters hub. This page stays with Juvelook.
A single appointment is rarely the whole plan with a biostimulator. Collagen is laid down incrementally, so the usual approach is a small number of rounds spaced far enough apart for the previous one to declare itself, with the interval decided by your director after seeing how your skin has answered. G Clinic does not publish a fixed session count or a fixed gap for this material on the international site, and no figure is invented here to fill that space. What you will be given at consultation is a plan for your face, and a reason for it.
The skin items and the eye item are separate for a practical reason. Across the cheeks and the lower face there is dermal thickness to work with, and the quantity follows the size of the field being covered, so the sheet carries both a small measured volume and a full vial. The orbital area has almost no tissue between skin and bone, tolerates far less material, and forgives nothing placed at the wrong depth. It therefore gets its own line, its own map and its own quotation, whether or not you also have the skin treatment on the same visit.
Patients who arrive asking for a stimulator sometimes leave booked for something else entirely. If the complaint turns out to be hydration and surface quality, Rejuran Healer may be the better match; if it is a specific line that needs filling in the moment, Belotero Revive is a different tool from a different family. A director will move you along the menu without charging you for the conversation.
This material fits people whose skin has thinned and lost firmness gradually, whose surface has gone crepey in raking light, and who can wait for a change measured in weeks. It suits patients who want their own tissue doing the work and who are content to be photographed at the review, not on the way home. It fits the patient who has already been through hydration treatments and wants something that acts on structure.
Some people are declined at the examination, and told why in the room. Pregnancy and breastfeeding rule it out until that period is over. Active infection, inflamed acne, an open cold sore or eczema across the intended field postpones the appointment until the skin has settled. A history of forming firm lumps or thickened scars after injections, or an unexplained nodule from a stimulator placed elsewhere in the past, is a genuine reason for a director to say no to this class of material altogether. Uncontrolled medical conditions, bleeding disorders and anticoagulant medication are each assessed individually and can end the discussion.
The refusals that happen most often have nothing to do with safety, though. Someone comes in with a wedding three weeks away and wants this for the photographs, and the timetable simply does not deliver that. Someone wants a jawline lifted, and no injected material of this kind lifts anything. Someone points at an under-eye shadow that turns out to be pigment or a hollow, and the eye line addresses neither. In each of those cases the director declines the booking and explains what would actually be needed, and you are free to walk out having spent nothing.
The first week belongs to the carrier and to the injections themselves. Skin can look plumper and better hydrated almost at once, there may be small raised points where material went in, and some patients see a little pinkness. Then that early appearance recedes, and there is often a stretch where the skin looks much as it did before anything happened. Patients who have not been warned about this stretch tend to write the treatment off during it, so your director walks you through it in advance.
The change worth having comes later, as collagen accumulates around the deposited particles. What people describe is firmness rather than volume: skin that feels denser under a fingertip, a surface that catches light more evenly, fine crepiness that has quietened. It shows up in photographs taken weeks apart far more clearly than in a mirror checked daily. Around the eye, when the material is appropriate for the zone, the same slow firming is what is being asked for.
How much you get, and how long it holds, depends on your age, your skin at the starting line, sun exposure and general health, and results differ from one patient to the next, and any case photograph a director shows you in the consultation room is shared with that patient’s consent. Nobody at this clinic will promise you a particular result or suggest the change is beyond the reach of time, and the clinic publishes no duration figure for this material until it has one to publish. What a director will do at the review is look at your skin and tell you plainly whether a further round is justified.
This is a medical injection and it carries real risk. Bruising is the commonest event, and it is more likely and more visible around the eye, where a mark can take the better part of a week to fade. Swelling and tenderness across the injected field belong to the first day or two, along with redness and small palpable points where the needle went in.
Nodules are the risk that deserves the most attention with any collagen stimulator, and they are the reason placement depth and technique matter so much. Firm lumps can form where particles clump or sit too superficially, they may be felt before they are seen, and they can surface weeks after the appointment, well past the day you were treated. Some settle with time and management; some need active treatment; and unlike a hyaluronic acid filler, this material is not reversible with an enzyme injection. Less commonly, patients see infection at an entry point, pigment change following inflammation in skin that pigments readily, prolonged swelling, asymmetry between the two sides, or a reaction to an injected component.
Tell the clinic everything before you are treated: your full medical history, all medication and supplements, every previous injectable and its approximate date, any implant in the area, and any lump you have ever developed after a cosmetic injection. Afterwards, follow the aftercare instructions you are given, keep the field clean, avoid strong sun on it while it settles, and contact the clinic if a lump appears or persists, if pain or redness increases after the second day, or if anything spreads outward from an injection point. A resident medical director is in the building during opening hours.
Ordinary life resumes the same day for most patients. You can work, eat and walk around the city from the moment you leave, and what you look like on the way out is a face that has recently been injected: slightly puffy, possibly pink, with small marks that make-up covers by the following day for most people. Anyone who has to be photographed within twenty-four hours should move the appointment.
Bruising is the variable that ignores every timetable. Patients taking blood thinners or fish oil, and anyone who drank the night before, mark more readily, so declare all of it at consultation and plan the week around the possibility. Around the eye in particular, allow more margin than you think you need.
For a visitor on a fixed itinerary, sequencing beats optimism. Take the injection early in the stay so the settling days fall while you are out sightseeing, and keep a slot near the end so a director can look at the zone before you fly. If you are also having a body procedure such as Liposuction in Korea on the same trip, the order is decided after examination and the two are spaced apart where doing them together would be poor practice. Because this material works over weeks, most of your course will play out after you are home, and the review can be arranged around your next visit.
Three published items and the materials sitting next to them, set out so your consultation starts from a sharper question than which one is popular.
| At G Clinic | Juvelook skin | Juvelook eye | Neighbouring lines |
|---|---|---|---|
| Injected material | PDLLA microspheres in hyaluronic acid | PDLLA microspheres in hyaluronic acid | Rejuran Healer, Belotero Revive, Re2O |
| What it is asked to do | Recruit your own collagen through the dermis | Firm thin orbital skin, planned conservatively | Conditioning, hydration or line correction |
| Published as | A measured volume and a full vial | A single vial line of its own | Separate lines with their own rates |
| Anaesthesia | Topical numbing, awake throughout | Topical numbing kept clear of the lid margin | Topical numbing, awake throughout |
| When it shows | Gradually, as collagen accumulates over weeks | Gradually, on the same slow timetable | Varies by material and indication |
| Reversible | No enzyme reversal exists for this material | No enzyme reversal exists for this material | Hyaluronic acid products can be dissolved |
| Poorly suited to | Event deadlines, sagging, immediate volume | Pigmented circles, hollows casting a shadow | Anything outside the skin quality register |
General information about published lines on one clinic menu. Which of them fits your face, in what order, is decided one to one with a resident director at the free consultation, and patients weighing a conditioning treatment against a stimulator usually work through both options in the same sitting.
The polymer family this injectable belongs to has been examined in the peer-reviewed literature. A clinical histology study has evaluated the longevity of the biostimulatory activity of injectable poly-L-lactic acid used for facial rejuvenation (Arruda, 2024). A separate report compared the early-stage volume effect of injectable poly-L-lactic acid with that of injectable poly-D,L-lactic acid (Lin, 2022). Work in the same journal that year described nonsurgical lower eyelid rejuvenation using injectable poly-D,L-lactic acid in Asian patients (Lin, 2022). These papers describe the material category and nothing more: they are not reports on treatment at G Clinic, they make no claim about what your own skin will do, and they should be read alongside the risks described above and a conversation with your director.
Three published items, each standing on its own: a measured skin volume, a full skin vial, and the eye vial. Your quotation is simply the items you are actually having, at the rate published for every patient, and having the skin treatment and the eye treatment in one appointment means two lines side by side. How many rounds a course warrants is agreed at the free consultation, after a director has examined you.
| Treatment | Option | Price (KRW) |
|---|---|---|
| Juvelook | Skin 1cc | ₩110,000 |
| Juvelook | Skin 1 vial | ₩550,000 |
| Juvelook | Eye 1 vial | ₩385,000 |
All prices in KRW, VAT included. Quoted at consultation; final cost depends on treatment plan. Published rates as of 2026-09-08.
It covers the item you have, and the sheet carries three of them: a skin dose measured by the cubic centimetre, a full skin vial, and an eye vial for the orbital zone. Each is quoted on its own, the published rate is the same for international patients as for anyone else, and you can ask for the figures in writing through the consultation form before you book a flight.
It belongs to a different category. A conventional filler holds a shape by occupying space with gel, and its result is there when you stand up from the chair. Juvelook carries poly-D,L-lactic acid microspheres in a hyaluronic acid vehicle, and the point of those microspheres is to prompt your own collagen over the weeks after the appointment. The early softening you notice comes from the carrier and is temporary.
They are asked to do different jobs. A polynucleotide treatment such as Rejuran Healer conditions the dermal environment, working on hydration, barrier behaviour and reactivity. A collagen stimulator is aimed at structure, prompting new collagen to accumulate around the deposited polymer. Some patients are better served by one, some by the other, and a director will tell you which register your complaint actually sits in.
The eye vial is a separate published item because orbital skin is thin, sits almost directly on bone and tolerates very little material. It is used to firm crepey texture there, conservatively and shallowly mapped. It does not address pigmented dark circles, and it does not fill a hollow that is casting a shadow. Which of those is causing your appearance is an examination question, and the answer may be that this treatment is not for you.
Not on the day, in the sense that matters. Skin often looks hydrated and a little plumper in the first week from the carrier, then that fades and there is frequently a quiet stretch where nothing seems to be happening. The change people book this for accumulates over the following weeks as collagen builds, and it reads far more clearly in photographs taken weeks apart than in a daily mirror check.
No. A topical anaesthetic is applied to the cleansed zone and given time to take effect, and you stay awake and able to talk with the director throughout, including asking for a pause. Sedation is no part of this appointment; it exists as an optional extra at additional cost in connection with other procedures on the menu, and no medication is named anywhere on this website.
A biostimulator is normally planned as a small course, with each round spaced far enough from the last for its effect to declare itself. G Clinic has not released a fixed session count or interval for this material on the international site, and this page will not invent one. Your director sets the plan after examining your skin, and books the next round only when the previous one has shown what it has done.
Bruising, swelling, tenderness, redness and small injection marks belong to the first days, with bruising more likely around the eye. The risk that deserves real attention is nodules: firm lumps where material clumps or sits too shallow, which can appear weeks later and may need active management. Infection at an entry point, pigment change after inflammation, prolonged swelling, asymmetry and a reaction to an injected component are all possible.
No enzyme reversal exists for this class of material, which is a genuine difference from a hyaluronic acid filler and a reason to be certain before you start. What is built is your own collagen, deposited gradually, and it resolves on its own timetable if it resolves at all. That is precisely why the examination, the depth of placement and the choice of an experienced injector matter so much here.
Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, until that period is over. Anyone with active infection, inflamed acne, a cold sore or eczema across the intended field, until the skin settles. Anyone with a history of firm lumps or thickened scarring after injections, or an unexplained nodule from a stimulator placed elsewhere. Bleeding disorders, anticoagulant medication and uncontrolled medical conditions are assessed one by one, and a director will decline where treatment would be unwise.
Almost certainly not, and a director will say so. The visible timetable of a stimulator runs over weeks and it cannot be hurried to meet a date, and the early days can include bruising you would have to cover. Patients with a fixed deadline are usually steered toward something whose effect is immediate, or advised to start this course after the event and plan the following year properly.
Often yes, with the sequencing decided after you have been examined. Some patients pair it with a different material such as Belotero Revive for a specific line, and others combine a facial appointment with body contouring such as G-fat Fat Dissolving Injection, taking the two at opposite ends of the stay. Where combining them in one visit would be poor practice, your director will separate them and explain why.
It is a status issued by VAIM Global, the product supplier, describing the clinic’s standing with that supplier for this material. It is stated here as a plain fact and nothing more; it is not a claim about your outcome and it is not a ranking of any kind. Every injection here is given by one of the three resident medical directors, and the wider booster category is set out on the Skin Boosters hub.
Book a free consultation and one of the three medical directors will examine your skin and your under-eye area in person in Gangnam, Seoul, explain the timetable this material really runs on, and tell you just as directly when a different treatment or none at all is the better call. The published items are listed above and the plan is agreed face to face.

Yesterday, I had a fat extraction procedure from Dr. Hong Young-ho. The staff, especially the doctor, were so kind that it was very comfortable. Right after the procedure, it was just a little uncomfortable yesterday because of swelling, but today there is almost no pain and I'm waiting for the swelling to go away to see the beautiful res…
Recommendations are made based on actual circumstances. The attitude is very good. Highly recommended.
I cannot recommend G-clinic highly enough. From the moment I walked in, my experience was nothing short of exceptional. The clinic itself is modern, clean, and welcoming. The front desk staff were incredibly warm and efficient. Checking in was a breeze, and they were very helpful with my new patient paperwork. The waiting time was minimal…
Process was perfect! I got some liposuction done, the doctor and staff were very nice and very professional. 100% would recommend anyone to get there procedures done here! They took out A LOT of fat! The doctor speaks perfect English as well!
