Juvelook Volume in Gangnam: How Many Sessions, How It Differs from Juvelook Skin, and Cost

Quick answer: Juvelook Volume mixes PDLLA with hyaluronic acid, and both the clinical trial and the case reports used 3 sessions 3–4 weeks apart. Nasolabial folds improved between 4 and 24 weeks, but follow-up ended 3 months after the last injection, so long-term data doesn't exist yet. At REPIC Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, a half vial starts at 450,000 KRW per session (November 2026, VAT not included).

I'm Dr. Jay (Yongheon Ha), a doctor at REPIC Clinic in Gangnam. Juvelook is confusing because it comes under three names: Skin, Volume and Eye. Same family, different jobs. This article is about Volume, and I'll keep what's backed by evidence separate from what isn't yet.

What is Juvelook Volume?

It's an injection that combines PDLLA with hyaluronic acid. According to the manufacturer, a 200mg vial of Juvelook Volume contains 170mg of PDLLA and 30mg of hyaluronic acid. In Korea it's approved as a class 4 tissue-repair material, for "temporary improvement of facial wrinkles in adults." People often compare it with Sculptra, and for a reason: in Juvelook Volume's clinical trial, the comparator was PLLA, the ingredient in Sculptra.

Juvelook Volume vs Juvelook Skin: what's the difference?

The goal. Skin works on texture and is spread broadly, like a skin booster. Volume targets hollows and wrinkles and goes exactly where they are. Our packages are split the same way: Skin is sold in 4cc units, Volume by half or full vial, and Juvelook Eye, used around the eyes, as a full vial (4cc).

So what happens if your cheeks are hollow and you get Skin? Texture may change, but the hollow stays. The reverse holds too. If texture is the concern, there's no reason to use Volume. I separate "texture" from "hollowing" before anything else. Because the names are so similar, many people arrive thinking it's one injection, so I take time over this. For the texture side, we have a separate skin booster guide.

The eye area deserves its own note. There's 1 published case of a nodule forming in the tear trough. For that reason I'm more conservative with the amount there.

How many sessions, and how far apart?

3 sessions, 3–4 weeks apart. That's what the trial and the case reports both used, and it's why our Juvelook Volume packages come as 1 or 3 sessions. If you're flying in, plan for return visits at that interval. And when should you come back after the 3rd session? There's no set answer, because the data to base one on doesn't exist yet. We decide that by watching how you do.

How well has it been shown to work?

It's been shown in nasolabial folds. In a randomized split-face trial of 33 people, there was significant improvement from 4 to 24 weeks, and it was non-inferior to PLLA. Non-inferior means it didn't do worse. The limits matter as well: only 33 participants, and the manufacturer funded the study. Honestly, there's less evidence behind Juvelook Volume than behind Sculptra or Radiesse. That doesn't mean it doesn't work. It means it hasn't been tested as thoroughly yet.

How long does Juvelook Volume last?

There's no long-term data yet. The study observed people up to 3 months after their last injection, and nothing after that was measured. You may have seen claims online that it lasts for years. I haven't been able to find clinical data supporting those numbers, so I don't quote one. If a well-documented duration matters to you, Sculptra's data runs longer: in its nasolabial fold trial, improvement held up to 25 months after the last injection.

What are the side effects, and who isn't it for?

The reported reaction is bruising. In a case series of 24 people, 12.5% bruised, and it cleared within 10 days. There's also the 1 tear-trough nodule case mentioned above. It's an injection, so allow a few days in which marks may show.

We don't treat during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Tell us about any medication in advance. Before-and-after care instructions are given on the day of treatment. If you have a flight home, tell us your departure date at the consultation and we'll plan around it.

It's also not a good fit for three groups. First, people whose main problem is sagging rather than hollowing; an injection that fills won't fix that. Second, people who can't come back 3 times at 3–4 week intervals. Third, people who need proof of long-lasting results to feel comfortable. For them, I suggest comparing treatments with more data first.

How much does Juvelook cost in Gangnam? (November 2026)

How we do it at REPIC

First we separate texture from hollowing. If it's hollowing, we then check whether volume has been lost or the face has sagged, and how thick the skin is. That tells us whether to use Skin, Volume or Eye, half or full vial, and which layer. The doctor injects personally. Each session, we review the last result and adjust the amount. We don't decide in advance what happens after the 3rd session. With no long-term data, I think the right call is to look at your face and decide then.
