Can Juvelook Cause Lumps? Causes & Prevention at Our Osaka (Shinsaibashi) Clinic

For skin concerns that become noticeable with age, such as skin firmness, open pores, and fine lines, a regenerative injectable called “Juvelook” is attracting attention. It is also being introduced at aesthetic medical sites and attracting high interest as a treatment aimed at improving skin quality.
On the other hand, some people may feel anxious after seeing comments such as “lumps can form” about Juvelook. Precisely because it is a treatment received for beauty purposes, it is important to choose a method that can be received with peace of mind.
In this article, we explain in detail the basics of Juvelook, its relationship with “lumps,” the causes of lumps and how to deal with them, and how to introduce it safely while keeping risk down. If you are interested in Juvelook or want to know about safe treatment methods, please use this as a reference.

What Is Juvelook? The Skin-Regenerating Injectable Everyone Is Talking About

“Juvelook” is attracting attention as an aesthetic injection that approaches from the root the decline in skin firmness and elasticity that begins to concern people with age. Rather than changing the skin surface, it supports natural rejuvenation by promoting collagen production in the dermis inside the skin, and is gaining popularity as a new treatment. It is spreading across Asian countries centered on Korea, and more clinics are introducing it in Japan as well.

Ingredients and Features of Juvelook

Juvelook contains “PDLLA (poly-D,L-lactic acid),” which is also attracting attention in the field of regenerative medicine, and “non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid.” PDLLA has the property of being naturally broken down in the body while remaining in the skin for a long time and promoting collagen production. Through this action, skin elasticity and firmness increase over time, and a more fundamental rejuvenating effect can be expected.
Also, non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid has a stable molecular structure and shows a moisturizing effect right after injection. This allows it to approach skin problems such as dryness and dullness while supporting an overall increase in moisture and glow. A major feature of Juvelook is that it achieves both an immediate beauty effect and long-term improvement of skin quality.

What Skin Concerns Is It Effective For?

Juvelook suits people who have begun to feel the decline of their skin or who want to improve long-standing skin problems at the root. For example, if unevenness such as acne scars and craters is a concern, the smoothness of the skin surface gradually improves through repeated treatment.
Also, for fine lines and sagging pores that become more noticeable with age, the collagen-producing action of PDLLA draws out firmness from within, and a change in which the skin tightens from the inside can be expected.
Furthermore, thanks to the action of non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid, which excels in moisturizing, it can also approach makeup breakdown and dullness caused by dryness, so it also suits those who want to improve makeup application and skin brightness. For those seeking a balance of immediate effect and regenerative power, Juvelook is a very good match.

Is It True That “Juvelook Causes Lumps”?

Juvelook is attracting attention as an aesthetic injectable, but not a few people feel anxious, wondering “might lumps form?” Such information, which you may see on social media and in word-of-mouth, is a point of concern for those considering treatment.
Here we explain in detail why lumps are said to form, how to deal with them if they do, and measures to keep anxiety to a minimum.

Why Lumps Are Said to Form

Juvelook is a preparation that works inside the skin over time. For that reason, if a large amount is injected into the same area, a larger-than-expected reaction occurs and is thought to lead to lumps.
In practice, when accurate treatment is performed, in many cases it is absorbed naturally, but when several conditions overlap, lumps can become noticeable.

Inappropriate Injection Method or Excessive Amount

The most common cause of lumps is a difference in injection technique. If the agent is concentrated too much in a particular area or the depth is wrong, it is not dispersed evenly in the body and hardness or swelling may occur.
Also, if more than the appropriate amount is injected, components that are hard to absorb tend to remain in the skin, raising the likelihood of remaining as a lump. Such risks are more likely to arise when treatment experience or understanding of the preparation is lacking.

Mismatch with Skin Condition

The condition of the skin at the time of injection also influences the occurrence of lumps. If injected into an area with inflammation or acne, the preparation may not penetrate well and may remain in one spot. Also, when the skin is extremely dry or thin, dispersion of the agent becomes uneven and may be felt as hardness.
To avoid such mismatches, it is necessary to carefully check the skin condition before treatment and make a judgment suited to that day’s skin condition.

What to Do If a Lump Forms

Lumps from Juvelook are in many cases naturally broken down and absorbed in the body, so they improve over time. In many cases they stop being noticeable in a few days to a few weeks, so it is important to first observe the course.
If the discomfort is strong or it affects appearance, it is reassuring to consult the clinic where you received treatment and, as needed, receive care such as massage or prescribed medication. By seeking professional judgment early, you can spend your time without carrying anxiety.

How Can the Risk Be Reduced?

To keep the risk of lumps to a minimum, the practitioner’s skill and judgment suited to the skin condition are indispensable. By performing treatment tailored to each person’s skin with an understanding of the nature of the preparation, injection amount, and injection depth, uniformity and safety of the finish are maintained.
Also, choosing a method that delivers the agent as “delivery” rather than injection is one way to avoid lumps. For example, by using Potenza’s drug delivery function, the agent can be delivered evenly into the skin through fine holes, making unevenness like that of injection less likely.
By choosing the right method, skin-beautifying treatment with reduced risk becomes possible while firmly drawing out the effect of Juvelook.

 

What Is the Right Way to Use Juvelook? Why Delivery with Potenza Gives Peace of Mind

To draw out the maximum effect of Juvelook, how it is delivered to the skin is important. Even if the preparation itself is excellent, the finish and safety can differ greatly depending on the injection method.
With commonly performed “hand injection,” fine adjustment is possible, but there is also the risk of bruising and lumps if the depth or amount of injection is biased. Attracting attention in recent years is the delivery method using a medical device called Potenza.
In this section, we introduce in detail the mechanism and features of Potenza delivery, its relationship to the risk of lumps, and how it differs from hand injection.

What Is Potenza Delivery? Mechanism and Features

Potenza is a medical device that irradiates radio frequency (RF) energy while making tiny holes in the skin with fine needles. By delivering heat deep into the skin, it promotes the production of collagen and elastin and works to increase skin firmness and elasticity.
Furthermore, Potenza is equipped with a function called “drug delivery,” which allows beauty ingredients and injectables to penetrate efficiently through the holes made. This makes it possible to deliver the agent evenly to the necessary layers and to avoid the bias and unevenness of injection.

Why It Is Easier to Avoid the Risk of Lumps

Because Potenza delivery is a method of “delivering” rather than “injecting” the agent, it has the advantage that lumps are less likely to form. Because fine holes are made at a uniform depth in the skin, the agent is less likely to remain concentrated in one spot and instead spreads and penetrates naturally.
Furthermore, because needle depth and irradiation level can be finely adjusted, flexible handling according to the area and thickness of the skin is possible. With this high customizability, the active ingredients of Juvelook can be reliably delivered while keeping the burden on the skin to a minimum.

Dissolving the Preparation with a Stirring Machine

Also, dissolving Juvelook with a stirring machine is considered effective for reducing the risk of lumps.

The Juvelook agent is in powder form, and to use it, it must be dissolved in physiological saline.
At that time, it frequently happens that the powder does not easily dissolve in the solvent.

It is a state in which, no matter how much you shake the container with the saline in it, the powder remains visible and does not fully dissolve.

Injecting into the skin in this state is said to carry a high risk of forming lumps.

At Cleo Beauty Clinic, we use a stirring machine recommended by the manufacturer of Juvelook and stir so that the agent fully dissolves. At the time of use the powder is dissolved and can hardly ever be seen.

The dissolving method for Juvelook differs by clinic, so to avoid lumps it is effective to check whether it is dissolved with a stirring machine.

Why Cleo Beauty Clinic’s Juvelook × Potenza Is Chosen

To draw out the maximum effect of Juvelook, not only the characteristics of the agent but also the delivery method and the practitioner’s skill are very important. In delivery with Potenza in particular, technical skill that fully understands the machine’s performance and can make fine adjustments according to skin condition is required.
At Cleo Beauty Clinic, we focus on treatment combining Juvelook and Potenza, providing treatment aimed at fundamental improvement of skin quality while keeping the risk of lumps down. In addition to technical reliability, having a specialized instruction system in place is also one of the reasons we are chosen by many people.


Instructed by Potenza Specialist Nurse Norine

At Cleo Beauty Clinic, we raise the quality of treatment every day while receiving technical instruction from Potenza specialist nurse “Norine,” who is highly regarded in the beauty industry. Norine is a high-performing nurse who gives technical workshops and demonstrations nationwide, with abundant knowledge and experience about Potenza.
Because we have staff who learned her technique and theory directly, the technical skill of the whole clinic is constantly updated, and an environment is in place where more advanced treatment can be provided. Also, since Norine actually visits every other month to give hands-on instruction to staff, a major strength is that the technical level in the field is always maintained.
In this way, with each practitioner treating with high skill and aesthetic sense, the satisfaction and safety of the finish are greatly improved, and we are trusted by many people.
