GOURI injection [PCL preparation
What are GOURI injections like?"
I'd like to get GOURI injections, but I'm concerned about the effects and the cost."

Smart Skin Clinic, a cosmetic dermatology clinic, will explain GOURI injections in an easy-to-understand manner from a professional standpoint so that these concerns can be resolved.

What is GOURI injection?
GOURI is an injectable formulation containing an ingredient called PCL (polycaprolactone).
GOURI's PCL is liquefied, making it the world's first "liquefied PCL formulation" to be developed.
Being transformed into a liquid rather than a solid.
What is PCL?
PCL will be a thread used in the medical field. Technically, it is called "biodegradable synthetic polymeric agent," which includes the meaning that it is dissolved and absorbed in the body. The word "polymer" is also a good one to note, and in the case of a polymeric component, volume enhancement can be expected.
Since PCL is a thread, it is a foreign substance to the body, causing a "foreign body reaction" in the body. This foreign body reaction stimulates fibroblasts in the skin (dermis), increasing and activating collagen and elastin, thereby producing a lifting effect.
This PCL is also a type of thread used in thread lifts. In the case of thread lift, the PCL is solid PCL, but GOURI's PCL is liquefied.
This ingredient, PCL, has been approved by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) and CE (European safety standard) and has a high safety profile.
Differences from conventional PCL formulations
PCL formulations other than GOURI have existed in the past.
However, conventional PCL is not liquefied, but solid (particulate), and thus carries the risk of vascular embolization and lumps.
The PCL formulation that eliminates these risks is GOURI.
Three Characteristics of GOURI (3S)
GOURI has the following three characteristics
- Spredability
- Sustainability
- Safety
The 3Ss are an acronym for three characteristics.
(1) Spredability
Liquefied PCL is very diffusive. This provides two advantages
(1) Spreads over a wide area, so it is effective all over the place.
(2) Shorter treatment time due to the use of fewer injection sites to produce a wider range of effects.
(2) Sustainability
PCL aggregates in the skin (forming a 3-dimensional matrix) and increases and activates collagen in the mid- to long-term.
Specifically,About 6~12 monthsThe effect is sustained for a period of
Safety
PCL will be a safe ingredient approved by FDA and CE.
It is liquefied and has little risk of vascular embolization or lump formation.

Case photos (before/after)
Recommended number/frequency of treatments
It is recommended to perform 3~4 times with an interval of about 1 month. After that, maintenance is recommended in about 6 months to 1 year.
Treatment area/method
Treatment area
The three main treatment areas can be broadly summarized as follows
- Forehead
- Cheeks (around eyes, cheeks, mouth)
- head
Treatment Method
The first premise is that there are two types of needles for injection used in GOURI as follows.
- Sharp needle = pointed tip
- Blunt needle = not pointed
In the GOURI procedure, the orange point in the figure below is pierced with (1) a sharp needle to make a hole in the skin.
Next, (2) pass a blunt needle through the hole you just made. Then, GOURI is injected into the light blue area in the above figure.
There is pain when (1) a sharp needle penetrates the skin, but little pain when (2) a blunt needle is moved. Discomfort or pain may be felt when injecting the drug.
For the injection method shown in the figure, the recommended dosage is one bottle on each side, for a total of two bottles.
Those who cannot be treated
Pregnant or nursing mothers
Those with abnormal immune function or a history of such abnormality, and those undergoing immunosuppressive therapy.
Those prone to keloid formation, hypertrophic scars and hyperpigmentation
Those with bleeding tendency or using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics such as aspirin or anticoagulants such as warfarin
Excessive sunburn, eczema, dermatitis, acne with severe inflammation, or scabs at the site of JUVELUX VOLUME (RENISNA) injection
Risks/side effects
of the needle puncture site.
Redness, swelling, pain, edema
Intravascular hemorrhage
Temporary protuberance
of the injection site
Nodules
Down time
Redness and bumps at the injection site may occur, but in most cases will return to normal within 48 hours.
Due to the nature of the treatment, subcutaneous bleeding may occur at the needle puncture site, although not always. If subcutaneous bleeding spots occur, they will gradually disappear over a period of 10-14 days.
progress
Since there are individual differences, the following is a general progression for reference.
several days later

Physician Comments
GOURI itself is not yet that famous in Japan, but it is a formulation that has been the topic of discussion at prestigious international conferences such as AMWC.
Abbreviation for Aesthetic & Anti-Aging Medicine World Congress.
The one and only international medical conference series with a reputation for bringing together the world's top cosmetic medicine and anti-aging specialists to share their expertise.

In actual practice, we feel that GOURI is a more comprehensive approach to the concerns of people in their 40s and beyond compared to other injectable formulations.
Please feel free to consult us if you have any problems with sagging, lifting, etc.

I've looked at a lot of websites, but I'm not sure what the dosage (cc) is."
We often hear this question, so we will provide an explanation in the form of a diagram. Although there are individual differences, there is an optimal dosage for each area, so the dosage required per treatment is summarized below for each area.
For example, if you want to lift up your cheeks, you will need 2 vials (2 cc) per treatment, and if you want to have a set of 3 treatments, you can choose a set of 6 vials for a good price.
