Knowing exactly what happens during a treatment makes the first visit far less daunting. Gouri, the liquid PCL collagen stimulator, is a short procedure, but each step has a purpose. GLOW Dermatology in Cheongdam describes a typical session from arrival to the moment you leave the clinic.
Step 1: skin assessment and numbing
The doctor first checks skin condition, laxity and any contraindications such as active inflammation or recent procedures. Injection points are marked; the standard full-face pattern uses about 10 points positioned to let the liquid spread evenly. Numbing cream is applied for 20 to 30 minutes, so the injections themselves are brief and tolerable.
Step 2: the injection pattern
Gouri’s fully liquid formula is placed at marked points rather than threaded across the face. Each point receives a measured dose, and because the material diffuses on its own, the doctor massages the area briefly to guide even distribution. The injection phase itself typically takes around 10 to 15 minutes for the full face.
Step 3: right after, and the next days
Small bumps at injection points are normal and usually flatten within hours to a day or two; mild redness settles quickly. Makeup is generally possible from the next day. Saunas, intense exercise and alcohol are best avoided for about 48 hours. Firmness builds gradually. The visible change arrives over the following weeks as collagen synthesis proceeds, which is why sessions are spaced about 4 weeks apart.
GLOW Dermatology in Cheongdam runs Gouri as part of its skin booster line-up alongside Rejuran, Juvelook and exosomes, and consults international patients. If you want to know whether your skin suits the protocol, start with a skin assessment visit.
