Treatment Overview
Gouri is the world’s first fully liquid Polycaprolactone (PCL) collagen stimulator, developed in Korea. Unlike traditional fillers or biostimulators with microparticles, Gouri spreads evenly through the dermis, stimulating natural collagen regeneration across the entire face. It restores firmness, reduces wrinkles, and improves elasticity without adding artificial volume.
It is often compared with Exosome Therapy, another advanced regenerative treatment in Korea:
- Gouri: A collagen stimulator that rebuilds skin structure and firmness from within.
- Exosome Therapy: A cellular repair treatment that delivers growth factors to accelerate healing, boost collagen, and calm inflammation.
Korean dermatologists frequently recommend Gouri for structural lifting and wrinkle reduction, while Exosome Therapy is added for regeneration, healing, and synergy.
Purpose & Benefits
- Collagen Stimulation: Encourages natural dermal regeneration.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Improves both fine and deeper lines.
- Firmness & Elasticity: Lifts sagging skin and restores structure.
- Natural Results: No overfilled look, just youthful firmness.
- Preventive Anti-Aging: Slows down age-related collagen loss.
- Synergy with Exosomes: Gouri firms and lifts, while exosomes repair and enhance skin vitality.
Ideal Candidates
Gouri in Korea is recommended for:
- Adults in their 30s–60s with skin laxity or volume loss.
- Patients with wrinkles, thinning skin, or early sagging.
- Men and women comparing Gouri vs Exosome Therapy:
- Gouri: Best for structural lifting, wrinkle reduction, and collagen renewal.
- Exosomes: Best for cellular repair, calming inflammation, and scar/pore refinement.
- Patients seeking combination treatments for complete rejuvenation.
Possible Risks & Complications
Gouri is safe in Korea’s advanced dermatology clinics, but mild side effects may include:
- Redness or Swelling: Temporary, improves within 1–3 days.
- Bruising or Tenderness: Common with injections.
- Mild Tightness: Normal as collagen activity begins.
- Rare Risks: Small nodules or uneven results (reduced due to liquid formulation).
Surgical Techniques Used
Though non-surgical, Gouri requires expert precision protocols:
- Liquid PCL Injections: Evenly distributed for full-face collagen stimulation.
- Deep Dermal/Subdermal Placement: Supports skin’s structure.
- Multi-Point Mapping: Strategic injection points for natural lift.
- Combination Care: Frequently paired with Exosome Therapy, Rejuran, or HA boosters.
- Multi-Session Protocol: Usually 2–3 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately After: Mild swelling or redness.
- 1–3 Days: Skin calms, early hydration and glow noticeable.
- 1–2 Months: Wrinkle reduction and firmness begin.
- 3–6 Months: Collagen stimulation produces natural lifting effects.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid makeup for 24 hours.
- Apply SPF 50+ daily.
- Avoid pressing or massaging the injection areas unless instructed.
- Limit sauna, alcohol, or strenuous activity for 1–2 days.
Results & Longevity
- Immediate: Subtle glow and refreshed appearance.
- Short-Term (1–2 Months): Wrinkles soften, skin density improves.
- Medium-Term (3–6 Months): Visible firming and lifting as collagen builds.
- Long-Term: Results last 12–24 months, extended further with Exosome Therapy.
