What happens on the day of a Juvelook Volume treatment?
“How long does Juvelook Volume take, and what actually happens?” I hear this a lot when people call to book. More happens before and after the injections than during them, so here it is in the order we actually do it.
The short answer
A Juvelook Volume treatment runs in this order: consultation, authenticity check before opening, hydration (dissolving and soaking the powder), numbing cream for 20 to 30 minutes, injection under the skin, and wrap-up. Juvelook Volume contains 200 mg per vial (170 mg PDLLA + 30 mg hyaluronic acid) with an average particle size of 40 µm. It goes into the subcutaneous layer, not the dermis, and slowly supports areas that have hollowed. The fullness on the day comes from the hyaluronic acid and fades within weeks; the collagen change comes over the following months. We judge results at two to three months. Miso Clinic in Daegu (4F Bombom Building, 125 Dongdeok-ro, Jung-gu, Daegu; exit 1 of Kyungpook Nat'l Univ. Hospital Station; +82-53-428-2700) uses only genuine Juvelook and always gives every Juvelook patient an authentic treatment certificate.
What is Juvelook Volume?
Juvelook Volume mixes PDLLA particles and hyaluronic acid at 85 to 15. It is the Juvelook product meant for the layer under the skin, and one vial holds 200 mg, four times the dermal Juvelook (50 mg).
It does not shape the face instantly the way filler does. For the first days the hyaluronic acid holds things up; once it breaks down, collagen forms around the remaining PDLLA particles and the hollow area fills in gradually. That is why it suits faces where a broad area such as the temples or front cheeks has hollowed gently.

What is the order on the treatment day?
This is how a Juvelook Volume day runs at Miso Clinic. Preparation and checking take longer than the injections.
| Step | What we do | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Consultation | Check whether it is hollowing or sagging, and how deep and wide | If sagging is the cause, lifting comes before volume |
| 2. Authenticity check | Show you the product before opening it | So you can see what goes in |
| 3. Hydration | Add sterile water to the powder and let it soak | Under-soaked particles can clump and raise nodule risk |
| 4. Numbing cream | 20 to 30 minutes | Cutting the time short brings the pain back |
| 5. Injection | Small amounts spread over several points; a cannula is sometimes used for broad areas | To avoid a large amount in one spot |
| 6. Wrap-up | Check the injected areas and go over aftercare | So you know which signs mean call us right away |
Hydration time is booked into the schedule; we do not mix it in a hurry and inject straight away. We do not use sedation. The subcutaneous layer hurts less than the dermis, and numbing cream handles most of it.
How do I know it is genuine?
Juvelook comes in several sizes under the same name, so “I had Juvelook” does not tell you what or how much. That is why I show the product before opening it.
And Miso Clinic always gives a Juvelook authentic treatment certificate to everyone treated with Juvelook. It is a record you keep of what was used, and it helps if you ever see another doctor later.
Genuine product is a record, not a guarantee of results. What decides the outcome is which face, which layer, and how much.
What happens after the treatment?
| When | What you see | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Day of to a few days | Fullness, mild swelling or bruising | That is the hyaluronic acid |
| Within a few weeks | A phase where it looks back to before | Not a failure; the hyaluronic acid is fading |
| Over months | The base gradually fills | Collagen is forming around the PDLLA |
| Two to three months | Time to judge | Compare photos with the same light and angle |
I start small. Rather than filling everything at once, I look at the face again a few weeks later and decide whether to add more. With a material that cannot be dissolved, that order is the safer one.
If the skin turns white or blotchy purple, the pain keeps getting worse, or your vision blurs, do not wait; contact us right away. Also tell us if a firm lump grows, turns red, or hurts weeks later.
When I do not recommend Juvelook Volume
If the cheeks are deeply hollowed and need shape right away, I look at dissolvable hyaluronic acid filler first. If the shadow nearly disappears when you lie down, sagging is the main cause and lifting comes first. I also hold off if you need visible results by next month, if you do not know how much old filler or thread remains, or if there is inflammation at the site or you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
We have not found a controlled trial naming Juvelook Volume specifically. I tell patients before treatment that we are borrowing results from other PDLLA studies.
Juvelook Volume procedure FAQ

The injections themselves are not long. With consultation, the authenticity check, 20 to 30 minutes of numbing cream, injection and wrap-up, it is best to allow plenty of time.
Can I get a Juvelook authenticity certificate?
Yes. Miso Clinic always gives a Juvelook authentic treatment certificate to everyone treated with Juvelook, and we show you the product before opening it.
Does Juvelook Volume hurt?
It goes under the skin, so it tends to hurt less than dermal Juvelook. We use numbing cream for 20 to 30 minutes and do not use sedation.
