A certified genuine Gouri clinic in Daegu — a new paradigm for collagen, used a lot alongside Sculptra
If you asked me which two collagen boosters I reach for a lot these days, it would be Gouri and Sculptra. Miso Clinic is a GOURI Official Certified Clinic, and we treat with genuine Gouri.
The short answer
Miso Clinic in Daegu is a GOURI Official Certified Clinic and uses genuine Gouri a lot, alongside Sculptra. Gouri is a liquid PCL (polycaprolactone) collagen booster made by Dexlevo. Because it spreads through the whole dermis without particles, I see it as a new paradigm for collagen boosters. Where Sculptra (PLLA) supports broad hollows in deep layers, Gouri changes the thickness and texture of the whole dermis, so the two do different jobs. The certification comes from the manufacturer and does not guarantee results. Consultations are at Miso Clinic in Daegu (4F Bombom Building, 125 Dongdeok-ro, Jung-gu, Exit 1 of Kyungpook National University Hospital Station, +82-53-428-2700).
Why is Gouri a new paradigm?
Until now most collagen boosters mixed tiny particles into a gel. The particles settle and collagen forms around them, so clumping in one spot and nodules you can feel were the worry.
Gouri makes polycaprolactone (PCL) into a liquid with no particles. It does not build volume at one point; it spreads through the whole dermis and changes skin thickness and texture. It also needs no mixing with water beforehand. I think this direction, a collagen booster without particles, is genuinely new. PCL breaks down in the body over about 6–12 months.
Why use it with Sculptra?
| Item | Gouri | Sculptra |
|---|---|---|
| Ingredient | Liquid PCL | PLLA particles |
| Where it goes | Deep dermis across the whole face | Deep layers where it has hollowed |
| What changes | Skin thickness, texture, firmness | Broad hollows, longer-lasting volume |
| Dissolving drug | None | None |
As a face ages, the skin thins and deeper areas hollow, often at the same time. So if overall skin strength is the concern, I think of Gouri; for broad hollows such as the front cheek and temples, Sculptra first; and when both are there, we plan them together. More in Gouri and Sculptra compared.
What do we do to keep genuine Gouri treatment safe?
- We show you genuine Gouri before treatment
- We mostly use a blunt cannula and spread it through the deep dermis across the whole face
- We decide by skin condition, not by age
- There is no dissolving drug, so we start conservatively and decide the next step after the result
- For the first two days avoid saunas, hard exercise and alcohol, and take care for about a week
- Hold off on face massage and gua sha for the first week; makeup is fine from the next day
It takes about 20–30 minutes including numbing cream, and changes usually start to show after 2–4 weeks, following the pace of collagen production.
How far does the evidence go?
Honestly, the evidence for Gouri is still thin. Published human data on liquid PCL amount to a 30-person, 6-month study and a few case reports. That is short next to products like Sculptra with long human research. Because it is a new approach, it is worth choosing with that in mind.
- It is not a national certification or a specialist qualification — it was set by the manufacturer Dexlevo
- It does not guarantee results — results depend on your face and the treatment plan
- It does not mean we are better than other clinics
Genuine Gouri FAQ
How can I check that Gouri is genuine?
Ask to see the product before treatment. Miso Clinic shows you genuine Gouri before we start.
Can Gouri and Sculptra be done together?
They do different jobs, so we often plan them together: Gouri for texture and thickness across the dermis, Sculptra for broad hollows in deep layers. Order and timing are decided after an examination.
Can Gouri be dissolved?
PCL has no dissolving drug, so Miso Clinic starts conservatively.
