Treatment Overview
Gouri is the world’s first fully liquid Polycaprolactone (PCL) collagen stimulator, developed in Korea. Unlike particulate-based collagen stimulators, Gouri spreads evenly under the skin, triggering natural collagen production across the entire face without lumps or artificial volume. It improves firmness, elasticity, and wrinkle reduction while maintaining a natural look.
It is often compared with Nucleofill, a polynucleotide (PN)-based regenerative skin booster:
- Gouri: Provides structural rejuvenation and lifting by stimulating collagen and firming sagging skin.
- Nucleofill: Works at the cellular and DNA level, repairing damage, improving elasticity, and enhancing dermal health.
Korean dermatologists often combine them—Gouri for collagen stimulation and lifting + Nucleofill for repair and elasticity reinforcement.
Purpose & Benefits
- Collagen Regeneration: Restores firmness and elasticity naturally.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Improves both fine and deep lines.
- Lifting Effect: Firms sagging skin and supports facial contours.
- Skin Quality: Enhances texture, density, and hydration.
- Natural Results: No overfilled or artificial appearance.
- Synergy with Nucleofill: Gouri builds collagen structure, while Nucleofill repairs and protects skin at the DNA level.
Ideal Candidates
Gouri in Korea is recommended for:
- Adults in their 30s–60s with early to advanced skin aging.
- Patients with wrinkles, sagging, or thinning skin.
- Individuals who want natural lifting without fillers.
- Men and women comparing Gouri vs Nucleofill:
- Gouri: Best for lifting, firming, and collagen stimulation.
- Nucleofill: Best for skin repair, elasticity, and barrier support.
- Patients seeking combination protocols for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Possible Risks & Complications
Gouri is safe when performed by skilled Korean dermatologists, but mild effects may include:
- Redness & Swelling: Temporary, lasting 1–3 days.
- Bruising or Tenderness: Common post-injection.
- Mild Tightness: Normal as collagen regeneration begins.
- Rare Risks: Small nodules or unevenness (rare due to liquid formulation).
Surgical Techniques Used
Though non-surgical, Gouri requires expert injection techniques:
- Liquid PCL Injections: Evenly distributed for full-face collagen activation.
- Deep Dermal/Subdermal Placement: Supports facial structure.
- Multi-Point Mapping: Strategic injection for lifting effects.
- Combination Care: Often paired with Nucleofill, PRP, or exosomes.
- Multi-Session Plan: Typically 2–3 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately After: Mild redness or swelling.
- 1–3 Days: Skin calms; hydration and firmness begin.
- 1–2 Months: Wrinkles soften; lifting effects become visible.
- 3–6 Months: Collagen stimulation peaks with firmer, denser skin.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid makeup for 24 hours.
- Use SPF 50+ daily.
- Avoid pressing/massaging treated areas unless instructed.
- Avoid sauna, alcohol, or heavy workouts for 1–2 days.
Results & Longevity
- Immediate: Subtle glow and skin refreshment.
- Short-Term (1–2 Months): Wrinkles soften; firmness improves.
- Medium-Term (3–6 Months): Natural lifting and structural rejuvenation.
- Long-Term: Results last 12–24 months, extended with Nucleofill.
