01 Start here — direct answer

What is Gouri, and what does it do?

Gouri is polycaprolactone in a fully liquid form, with no microspheres and no gel carrier: injected from a few points per side, it flows through the subcutaneous layer and spreads itself under the skin, where the PCL stimulates collagen evenly across the whole area over three months. The result is overall firmness and a lift in skin quality rather than a drawn line, which is the opposite use of PCL from Ellansé.

At Boom Dermatology in Seomyeon, Gouri is the stimulator we suggest for a face that has started to lose firmness everywhere: cheeks that have softened, a jawline that has blurred rather than dropped, skin that no longer springs back. The 5cc protocol covers the mid and lower face. For a line that needs drawing, Ellansé; for a PCL grid across the face, Lafullen; for skin quality alone, Olidia 120.

What Busan patients ask before Gouri
  • How can a liquid firm the face? I thought stimulators were particles.
  • Will it spread somewhere it should not?
  • How many points, and does it hurt?
  • Gouri or Lafullen: both PCL, both 770,000. Which?
  • When will I see it, and how long does it hold?

All of these come up most weeks at our Seomyeon skin clinic. The page answers them in order.

02 Who it suits

Who is Gouri for?

Good candidates

  • Overall loss of firmness in the cheeks and lower face
  • A jawline that has blurred rather than dropped
  • Patients who want even firming without a filled look
  • Patients who found HA boosters too short-lived
  • Maintenance every twelve to eighteen months

We will suggest something else

  • A single line that needs drawing, which wants Ellansé or Radiesse
  • Real volume loss in the temples or cheeks, which wants Olidia 240 or Sculptra
  • Sagging that needs lifting first
  • Keloid tendency, autoimmune disease, active infection
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding; an event inside two weeks

03 The visit

What happens at a Gouri session in Seomyeon?

This is how a Gouri visit runs at Boom Dermatology, a skin clinic in Seomyeon, Busan, from the first message to the review.

1

Message first

Front and side photos in daylight and what has changed in your face. The doctor replies with the product, the vials or cc, and the VAT-included price.

2

Consultation

Volume loss is separated from sagging and from skin quality; the plan and the dose go on your record.

3

Numbing cream, twenty to thirty minutes

Topical anaesthetic; the product is mixed with lidocaine where the protocol allows.

4

Injection by the doctor

Deeper, fewer points than a booster, by cannula where possible. Twenty to forty minutes.

5

Out the door

Mild swelling for a day or two; massage instructions where the product needs them. No sauna for a day.

6

Six-week review

We message you for a photo when the collagen has started to show; the next session, if planned, is set then.

How does Boom Dermatology dose Gouri?

Gouri is dosed as a 5cc protocol from a few entry points; the liquid does the spreading, so there is no grid and no massage.

A few points per side

Three to five entry points each side of the face; the PCL flows through the subcutaneous plane.

5cc, one face

One protocol for the mid and lower face; a second only at three months if needed.

No massage

Unlike particle stimulators there is nothing to spread by hand; the liquid distributes itself in the first hour.

07 Questions, answered properly

How can a liquid firm the face?

The collagen response comes from the polymer, not from its shape. Particle stimulators need the particles spread evenly by massage; liquid PCL spreads itself through the fat layer and triggers the same fibroblast response wherever it reaches. The result is an even firmness across the area rather than a line or a lump, which is the whole reason to choose it at Boom Dermatology.

Will it spread somewhere it should not?

It stays in the plane it is placed in. The doctor injects into the subcutaneous layer away from the eye and lip areas, and the liquid distributes within that layer in the first hour. It does not travel to the eyelids or the lips when placed correctly, which is why it is placed by the doctor and not by a nurse.

How many points, and does it hurt?

Three to five points each side, under numbing cream and with lidocaine in the product. Patients describe pressure as the liquid goes in rather than pain, and the whole session is thirty minutes.

Gouri or Lafullen?

Same polymer, same price, different feel. Gouri gives even firmness with no fullness; Lafullen gives firmness with a little immediate fullness from its gel carrier, placed as a grid. A face that is soft but not deflated: Gouri. A face that is soft and slightly deflated: Lafullen. The doctor at our Seomyeon skin clinic decides at the consultation.

When will I see it, and how long does it hold?

Six weeks for the first firmness, three months for the peak, twelve to eighteen months of hold. The swelling on the day is the liquid itself and is not the result; it settles within three days.
