Treatment Overview
AccuLift is a laser-based facial contouring and skin tightening procedure developed in Korea. It uses a 1444 nm Nd:YAG laser delivered through a microcannula to target fat deposits under the skin, tighten surrounding tissues, and stimulate collagen remodeling. It is often referred to as a “laser facelift” because it reduces fat in areas like the jowls and double chin while improving skin firmness.
Juvelook is a hybrid injectable skin booster that combines polylactic acid (PLA) microspheres with hyaluronic acid (HA). It provides both immediate hydration and long-term collagen stimulation. Over time, Juvelook enhances skin elasticity, smoothness, and density, making it a popular non-surgical rejuvenation option in Korean dermatology.
In Korea, combining AccuLift and Juvelook provides both structural contouring and dermal rejuvenation: AccuLift removes fat and tightens tissues, while Juvelook restores elasticity and hydration for firmer, more youthful skin.
Purpose & Benefits
- Fat Reduction: AccuLift reduces small fat pockets (jowls, double chin).
- Skin Tightening: Laser energy contracts collagen fibers and stimulates new collagen.
- Collagen Remodeling: Juvelook gradually rebuilds skin support and improves elasticity.
- Hydration & Glow: HA in Juvelook restores skin moisture and radiance.
- Contour Refinement: Enhances V-line definition and jawline sharpness.
- Dual Action: AccuLift addresses structural issues, while Juvelook improves dermal quality.
Ideal Candidates
- Men and women in their 30s–50s with early sagging or excess facial fat.
- Patients with double chin, jowls, or lower face heaviness.
- Individuals with fine lines, dullness, or reduced skin elasticity.
- Those preferring a non-surgical alternative to invasive facelifts.
- Patients interested in combination protocols for both contouring and skin quality improvement.
Possible Risks & Complications
- AccuLift: Temporary swelling, redness, bruising, or mild discomfort at cannula entry points. Rare risk of uneven contour if not performed by an expert.
- Juvelook: Redness, mild swelling, or bruising at injection sites. Rare risk of small nodules if injected improperly.
- Combination: Safe when performed by skilled dermatologists, though temporary sensitivity and swelling are common.
Techniques Used
- AccuLift: A thin cannula is inserted into the skin to deliver 1444 nm Nd:YAG laser energy, melting fat and tightening tissue through thermal stimulation.
- Juvelook: Injected into the dermis using fine needles or cannulas. HA provides immediate hydration, while PLA microspheres trigger collagen regeneration.
- Combination Therapy: AccuLift is performed first to contour the face, followed by Juvelook injections to restore elasticity and improve dermal density.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately: Swelling, redness, or tenderness may occur.
- 1–7 Days: Bruising or mild discomfort subsides; injection marks fade.
- 1–3 Months: Collagen stimulation from Juvelook enhances firmness and texture; AccuLift results in slimmer contours.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid alcohol, smoking, and strenuous exercise for 1 week.
- Do not massage or press treated areas.
- Apply SPF 50+ daily and keep skin hydrated.
- Follow clinic instructions for skincare and follow-up sessions.
Results & Longevity
- Immediately: AccuLift provides visible contour improvement; Juvelook hydrates skin.
- 2–3 Months: Collagen remodeling improves elasticity and skin quality.
- Longevity: AccuLift results are semi-permanent as fat cells are reduced; Juvelook lasts 12–18 months with maintenance sessions recommended.
