What is Jubellook Shine?
Juvelook Shine is a next-generation injectable formulation (skin booster) developed in South Korea.
【Ingredients and Functions of Jubellook Shine】
- Poly-D,L-Lactic Acid (PDLLA): Promotes collagen and elastin production, strengthens the basement membrane
- Non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid: Possesses high water-retaining capacity and instantly enhances skin hydration.
Main Features of Jubellook Shine
- Comprehensive Effects Through Basement Membrane Reinforcement
- Immediate hydration and safety of non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid
- Safety of PDLLA in Nanoscale Particles
【1. Comprehensive Effects Through Basement Membrane Reinforcement】
By strengthening the basement membrane separating the epidermis and dermis, it normalizes skin turnover and promotes melanin excretion. This leads to improved pigmentation and brightening effects.
The "basement membrane" where Jubellook Shine acts is a thin membrane just 0.1 micrometers thick that connects the skin's surface (epidermis) to its deeper layer (dermis).
This membrane acts as a "filter that connects to the depths of the skin." When the basement membrane is damaged, it can lead to impaired cell production and a reduction in collagen within the dermis.
Furthermore, when the basement membrane breaks, melanin falls into the dermis. It cannot be expelled through normal turnover and remains as stubborn dark spots and dullness.
The following study reports that PDLLA formulations (the main ingredient in Juvelook Shine) reduce UV-induced pigmentation by regenerating the basement membrane.
【2. Immediate Hydration and Safety of Non-Crosslinked Hyaluronic Acid】
Non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid provides skin with fresh, dewy moisture immediately after injection. Compared to crosslinked hyaluronic acid, it has lower viscosity and is characterized by a relatively lower risk of vascular occlusion, lumps, and allergies.
【3. Safety of PDLLA in Nanoscale Particles】
PDLLA is a highly biocompatible component that has been used for many years as a surgical suture material. Furthermore, the PDLLA particles in Juvelook Shine are designed to be nano-sized, smaller than conventional formulations. This enhances skin permeability and reduces the risk of lumps. The particles are broken down within the body over approximately 2 to 3 weeks.
Numerous research papers have been published on the efficacy and safety of PDLLA, and these are also introduced in the following article.
Jubellook Shine's Effect
Improvement of pigmentation, redness, fine lines, and mild acne scars; enhanced firmness and elasticity
Improvement of pigmentation and redness
By repairing the damaged basement membrane caused by UV rays, friction, acne, and other inflammations, it normalizes skin turnover.
When the basement membrane is properly aligned, melanin accumulated in the epidermis is more easily expelled, making it easier to improve dark spots and pigmentation. Furthermore, enhanced skin barrier function helps resolve chronic redness and dullness, leading to a brighter, more translucent complexion.
Improvement of fine lines under the eyes
Conventional hyaluronic acid injections used a gel-like formulation to physically "fill" depressions, carrying risks such as unnatural swelling depending on the injection volume, or the "Tyndall effect" where the formulation appears bluish-white and translucent.
On the other hand, Juvellook Shine is a smooth, liquid formulation that works by stimulating your own collagen production to "thicken the skin itself." Rather than filling with foreign substances, it "nurtures your own skin," eliminating concerns about excessive plumping and naturally minimizing the appearance of fine lines.
Improvement of mild acne scars
PDLLA stimulates fibroblasts in the superficial dermis, powerfully promoting collagen production. This lifts shallow acne scars from within, smoothing the skin's surface.
Especially for acne scars with pigmentation, the synergistic effect with the aforementioned pigmentation-improving benefits helps achieve clearer skin.
Improved firmness and elasticity
The non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid contained in Jubellook Shine instantly enhances the skin's moisture-retaining capacity.
Furthermore, as polylactic acid (PDLLA) breaks down within the body, it stimulates fibroblasts, thereby promoting the production of collagen and elastin.
Furthermore, by targeting the basement membrane to strengthen the bond between the epidermis and dermis, it stabilizes the skin's foundation by suppressing the decline in moisture retention and barrier function. This enhances the overall structural strength of the skin, leading to plump, firm, and youthful-looking skin.
The Difference Between Jubelook Shine, Jubelook, and Jubelook Volume (Renisuna)
The Juvelook series includes "Juvelook Shine," "Juvelook," and "Juvelook Volume (Lenisna)."
All of these products primarily consist of PDLLA and non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid, but they differ in PDLLA particle size and indications.
| Comparison items | Jubelook Shine | Juvelook | Jubellook Volume |
| Primary Purpose | Improvement of pigmentation and fine lines, improvement of skin texture | Acne scars and pits, enlarged pores | Natural volume enhancement, deep wrinkles |
| Injection depth | Basement membrane to superficial dermis | deep dermis | Deep dermis to subcutaneous tissue |
| Features of PDLLA | The finest and smoothest particles | Particle size is medium | The particle size is the largest. |
| Duration (Approximate) | After one season, approximately six months | After one cycle, approximately 1 to 2 years | After one cycle, approximately 1 to 2 years |
To summarize simply, you can choose based on the following concerns:
- Jubellook Shine: For those seeking to enhance overall skin texture, reduce fine lines under the eyes, and achieve firmness and radiance across the entire face.
- Jubellook: For pinpoint improvement of crater-like acne scars and localized indentations
- Jubellook Volume (Renisuna): For plumping sunken cheeks, hollow temples, and deep nasolabial folds caused by aging

Treatment Method
Jubellook Shine treatments offer three options: "Dermapen Infusion," "HydraFacial," and "Physician Manual Application."
Based on your skin condition and preferences, our physician will recommend the most suitable treatment during your consultation on the day of your appointment.
Dermapen Introduction
The Dermapen is an electric auto-pen device featuring 16 ultra-fine needles at its tip. It creates microscopic punctures on the skin surface, immediately followed by the application of a formulation to enhance absorption. This triggers the skin's natural healing process (wound healing mechanism), leading to improvements in skin texture, pore size, and the appearance of shallow acne scars.
Vital Injector
HydraFacial is a treatment that uses a stamp-like device with nine fine needles to directly inject medication. It features precise control over depth, volume, and suction pressure, while minimizing unevenness by injecting while suctioning the skin. It is ideal for those seeking even, comprehensive facial treatment.
For more information about hydrating injections, please refer to the following article.
Hand-administered injection by a physician
This method involves the doctor using an ultra-fine needle to inject the filler meticulously and carefully. It is particularly suitable for delicate areas requiring precise injection, such as under the eyes and neck wrinkles. While it takes more time and costs more than other methods, it offers the advantage of allowing detailed customization depending on the specific area.
Smart Skin Clinic Fees
- Jubellook Shine offers three treatment options: HydraFacial, manual injections by a physician, and Dermapen.
- Regarding which method is best, our doctor will make recommendations during your consultation on the day of your appointment. Please feel free to schedule your appointment.

Need for anesthesia｜High
The price for Jubellook Shine includes all costs such as anesthesia fees.
This is because anesthesia is recommended for this procedure, and it is basically standard to perform it after implementing cream anesthesia and local anesthesia.
About Pain and Anesthesia Use
All procedures use ultra-fine needles, but you may feel a slight prickling sensation.
Some of you may be concerned about pain, but please rest assured that this procedure is generally performed after applying topical anesthetic cream or administering local anesthesia.
Downtime, Side Effects, and Risks
Symptoms: Redness, swelling, edema, bruising, temporary swelling at the needle insertion site
Duration: Approximately 24 hours
Redness and swelling (skin bumps) at the injection site usually subside within about 24 hours.
In areas with thin skin, such as under the eyes, bruising may occur, but it will gradually fade over 10 to 14 days. In most cases, it can be easily concealed with makeup.
【Risk】
- Lumps: While reported as a rare risk associated with PDLLA formulations, Juvelook Shine minimizes this risk due to its extremely fine particles.
- Allergies: Although extremely rare, allergic reactions to hyaluronic acid or PDLLA may occur. Individuals with a history of allergies should consult us beforehand.
- Infection: Bacteria entering through the injection site may cause infection. We strictly adhere to sterile procedures. Avoid touching the wound as much as possible after the procedure.
Effects after treatment, duration of effects, number of treatments
- Time of onset of effect: Approximately 2 weeks after surgery
- Recommended number of treatments: 3 times per month (1 course)
- Duration of Effect: 3 to 6 months
- Maintenance Frequency: After the completion of one season, approximately once every six months.
【Immediate Effects (Immediately After to Several Days Later)】
The moisturizing effect of non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid delivers immediate hydration and radiance.
【Mid-to-Long-Term Effects (1–3 Months Later)】
PDLLA stimulates fibroblasts to promote the production of new collagen and elastin. Over several months, skin firmness and elasticity gradually increase, allowing you to experience improvements in fine lines and pores.
Postoperative Care
【On the day (immediately after treatment to 24 hours)】
- Please refrain from washing your face and applying makeup.
- Keep bathing to short showers only, and avoid saunas or long baths.
- Please refrain from drinking alcohol and strenuous exercise.
The treatment area has countless tiny needle punctures. To prevent infection, please avoid touching the area as much as possible on the day of treatment. Even the next day and beyond, please perform your skincare routine gently.
Activities that promote blood circulation may increase the likelihood of redness or bruising.
【The next day and beyond (24 hours later and onward)】
- Face washing and makeup application are possible.
- Do not press or massage the treated area.
- When caring for your skin, avoid rubbing and ensure thorough moisturization.
【Approximately one week】
- Please refrain from massage, facial treatments, and laser therapy.
Methods for Maximizing Effectiveness
- Thorough UV Protection: UV rays break down collagen. Sunscreen is essential.
- Adequate Moisturization: To aid in repairing micro-injuries caused by needle punctures and stimulate collagen production, apply generous amounts of moisturizer morning and night.
- Nutritionally balanced meals: Consciously consume a balanced diet rich in protein, which is the building block of collagen, and vitamin C, which aids collagen production.
- Adequate sleep: Skin repair and regeneration occur during sleep. Promote growth hormone secretion with quality sleep.
- Smoking Cessation: Smoking constricts blood vessels and consumes large amounts of vitamin C, which is essential for collagen production. Therefore, it is recommended to refrain from smoking.
