"Next-Generation Skin Booster from Korea"
Juvederm is a next-generation skin booster originating from Korea, an injection agent that combines polylactic acid (PDLLA) as the main ingredient with a non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid formulation. By promoting collagen production in the skin, it not only improves skin quality but is also effective for pore tightening and various skin concerns such as redness, acne scars, and fine lines.
Features
Fewer Side Effects
Polylactic acid, the main ingredient of Juvederm, is derived from "lactic acid" obtained by fermenting starch from root vegetables such as corn, potatoes, and sugarcane, so it has excellent biocompatibility and is characterized by fewer side effects. Also, the particles of Juvederm are spherical and have a structure that is unlikely to cause excessive damage to surrounding cells, minimizing the risk of granulation formation and nodules (subcutaneous induration).
High Safety and Long-Lasting Effects
Polylactic acid, a component of the product, is also used in dissolvable thread lifts and surgical sutures. It is approved by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) and Korea MFDS, equivalent to Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, making it a highly safe formulation. After injection, it slowly decomposes into water and carbon dioxide over approximately 1-2 years, so there is no concern about remaining in the body, and long-lasting effects are expected.
Local Injection Possible
Macomb, another polylactic acid formulation, is a device-specific agent for Potenza, so local injection is not permitted. However, Juvederm supports local injection, allowing for pinpoint treatment of partial acne scars (unevenness), pores on the nose and cheeks, and other targeted areas.

FAQ
How often should I receive Juvederm treatments?
Generally, we recommend treatments at a pace of once every 1-2 months for approximately 3-5 sessions. Since polylactic acid slowly decomposes in the body while promoting collagen production, repeated treatments over multiple sessions allow effects to accumulate. After that, we recommend maintenance treatments approximately once every 3-6 months to maintain the effects. Our attending physician will suggest the optimal interval based on your skin condition, so please consult with us during a consultation first.
Ask ZetithAI about this →How much downtime is there after the procedure? I'm concerned about the impact on work and daily life.
While individual differences exist, redness, swelling, and bruising may continue for several days to about one week after injection. Immediately after injection, injection marks may be noticeable, but most people find them less noticeable from the next day onward. While makeup is possible from the same day, please avoid vigorous exercise, saunas, and alcohol on the day of treatment. Most patients return to normal life the day after treatment. We recommend avoiding the procedure just before important events.
Ask ZetithAI about this →What is the difference between Juvederm and Macomb or other skin boosters?
Both Juvederm and Macomb are collagen production-promoting agents with polylactic acid (PLLA) as the main ingredient, but the major difference is the administration method. Macomb is a device-specific agent for Potenza using a needle device, so local injection is not possible, but Juvederm allows local administration by injection, making it possible to target areas of concern such as acne scars, pores, and under-eye areas with precision. Unlike hyaluronic acid-based skin boosters, Juvederm is a "biostimulator" that directly stimulates collagen production, allowing for long-term skin quality improvement.
Ask ZetithAI about this →When will I see results? How long will they last?
Polylactic acid does not have immediate volumizing effects; since it slowly decomposes in the body while promoting collagen production, it typically takes 1-3 months from the procedure before effects are noticeable. Many people gradually notice improved skin firmness and pore tightening, and there is a tendency to experience more noticeable improvements with multiple repeated treatments. While the duration of effects varies among individuals, cases with effects lasting approximately 2-3 years have been reported. This procedure is especially suitable for those seeking long-term skin quality improvement.
Ask ZetithAI about this →Are there patients who cannot undergo the procedure (contraindications)?
We may decline treatment for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those with keloid-prone skin, and those with inflammation or infection at the injection site. Additionally, those with autoimmune diseases or clotting disorders should consult with a physician in advance. During consultation, we will inquire in detail about medical history, current medications, and allergies, and the physician will determine whether the procedure is appropriate. Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Reservations are accepted via LINE or phone.
