There are moments in the consultation room that really stay with me.
A patient once told me:
“Doctor, I’ve been looking at old photos lately… and I feel like I haven’t really recognized my own face for a while.”
Those words lingered for a long time. He was in his mid-50s—an office worker—and this was his very first visit to a dermatologist.
Case 1: “I don’t even know where to start.”
He shared that he had no skincare routine at all and rarely thought about sun protection. In his words, he’d been just as indifferent to UV rays as he was to the weather.
During our consultation, he was very honest:
“My skin feels dry and rough. I keep worrying about it, but I feel overwhelmed. I’m also not ready for fillers, and I’m not sure lasers really work.”
That’s a common place to be—wanting change, but not wanting anything that feels too “big” or unnatural. So we focused on starting with the basics and addressing what bothered him most.
Treatment plan
His main concerns were:
- A dull, uneven skin tone
- Loss of facial volume (a tired, “sunken” look)
We chose a combination approach: Juvelook Volume to restore natural-looking volume and elasticity, along with pigment treatment to brighten and even out the overall tone.
Before: 2023.04.11
After: 2023.09.14
The photos were taken in the same location with the patient’s consent, using the original, unedited images.
Note: Results may vary from person to person. Side effects such as pigmentation, bruising, and swelling may occur. Please make your decision after a sufficient consultation prior to treatment.
Near the end of the treatment course, he said quietly:
“Director, I’m going to bring my son next time.”
As a doctor, that kind of trust feels like the greatest compliment—because it means the change felt real enough to recommend to someone he loves.
Case 2: “I’ve tried lifting… but I don’t see a difference.”
The second patient had already tried lifting treatments before—but felt disappointed and exhausted from repeated procedures. Their eyes looked worried, and the cheeks and mid-face appeared more hollow than before.
During consultation, they told me plainly:
“I paid a lot, but I honestly didn’t feel like anything changed.”
This is something I hear often. Many laser lifting treatments work by gradually improving elasticity in the deeper layers of the skin—so the effect can be subtle and not immediately “contour-changing.”
After a careful evaluation, I recommended a different direction: at this stage, what they needed most was volume restoration, not another round of lifting.
They also chose Juvelook Volume, focusing on the forehead and nasolabial folds.
Before: July 3, 2023
After: September 14, 2023
The photos were taken in the same location with the patient’s consent, using the original, unedited images.
Note: Results may vary from person to person. Side effects such as pigmentation, bruising, and swelling may occur. Please consult 충분히 (thoroughly) with your provider before undergoing treatment.
What changed after Juvelook Volume?
In both cases, we saw clear improvement in:
- The appearance of a sunken forehead
- Wrinkles and shadowing around the nasolabial folds
- Overall facial balance and a healthier-looking contour
As the skin tone looked clearer and volume was restored in the right areas, the “tired” impression softened naturally—without an overdone look.
Who is Juvelook Volume a good fit for?
Juvelook Volume can be a great option if you:
- Feel hesitant about fillers
- Have tried lifting procedures but still look tired or sunken
- Want a natural-looking way to support elasticity and facial contour
