GOURI is an anti-aging, liquid PCL-based injectable from South Korea. This helps boost natural skin collagen synthesis production and anti-aging properties, providing a good long-lasting natural effect.
GOURI is made of the world’s first liquid polymer filler, liquid polycaprolactone (PCL). Its liquid state makes GOURI injectable.
PCL can easily be broken down by the human body which brought its popularity as an implantable biomaterial.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of PCL in specific applications on the human body. Another PCL-based microsphere dermal filler called Ellansé, belongs to the collagen stimulator category.
PCL-based products stimulate collagen production and can reverse facial aging features including but not exclusive to volume loss and contour laxity, providing a long-lasting natural effect.
Since GOURI is also made of PCL, it has anti-aging properties and is also biodegradable. Due to its liquid form, GOURI easily spreads evenly throughout the entire face promoting natural skin collagen synthesis.
GOURI enables natural skin collagen regeneration without the use of microparticles.
Dermal fillers cannot be injected evenly into the skin due to the nature and shape of its particles. Hence, the limited use on focal areas only.
GOURI addresses a more generalized effect while dermal fillers cater to more targeted and focused areas that have a specific volume defect.
GOURI and Profhilo, although both require only 10 injection points, are made from completely different substances.
GOURI is made with a fully solubilized liquid form of PCL, while Profhilo is made from Hyaluronic Acid (HA).
Profhilo focuses on helping with skin hydration and giving a gentle glow to the skin, while GOURI firms, lifts and anti-age by stimulating collagen.
On each side of the patient’s face, GOURI is carefully injected into 5 specific points. Numbing cream will be applied before the procedure.
For the best results, 3 sessions are recommended at 4-week intervals.
After the 3 sessions, apply additional 1-2 treatments at 3-6 months interval, depending on patient’s condition.
Anyone interested in preventing signs of aging and feels that there is a generalized volume loss on their face is suitable for GOURI.
As everyone has varying skin types and conditions, it’s still best advised to consult with the designated doctor before undergoing procedure.
Usually, results are visible within a few weeks of treatment.
It varies across patients but generally, PCL can last for up to 12 months in the body.
For the best results, 3 sessions are recommended at 4-week intervals.
After the 3 sessions, apply additional 1-2 treatments at 3-6 months interval, depending on patient’s condition.
Unfortunately, GOURI is not dissolvable.
Yes, it’s okay. You may supplement GOURI with other skin treatments such as skin boosters and the like.
However, keep in mind of the following precautions:
Potential risks and side effects in any invasive procedure and for this specific treatment include but are not limited to:
Erythema, pain has been reported with bruising and heat sensation, usually within 24 hours post-injection. Treatment included corticosteroids, antihistamines and/or anti-inflammatories. Such events usually resolved within 7-10 days post-injection without sequelae and with no significant impact on daily life.
