Dry weather weakens the skin barrier and disrupts the balance of moisture and oil. This loss of hydration ultimately exacerbates common signs of skin aging, including reduced elasticity and wrinkle formation.

Skin-booster treatments and other anti-aging procedures are among the most effective solutions. These treatments work to restore a healthy skin barrier, with the efficacy of skin boosters varying depending on the product and technique used.

Dr. Juhyung Lee of Blively Clinic, Gimpo Branch, explains how JuveLook treatments restore hydration, elasticity, and volume to counteract dry weather damage and visible signs of aging.

One notable option is JuveLook, a collagen-stimulating treatment that combines biodegradable poly-D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA) microparticles with hyaluronic acid (HA). Injected into the dermal layer, JuveLook activates fibroblasts to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This process enhances skin volume and elasticity, reduces wrinkles, and promotes overall remodeling of the skin’s dermal layer. It also improves skin hydration, texture, and tone. Because it is biodegradable, JuveLook leaves minimal residue in the body, making it a safe option for most patients.

JuveLook is available in two forms, distinguished by particle size: JuveLook and JuveLook Volume. TThe standard JuveLook, with smaller particles, is suited for thinner skin areas and can improve fine wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, enlarged pores, and acne scars. JuveLook Volume, with larger particles, is injected into deeper skin layers to improve elasticity and restore volume, particularly in areas like the tear troughs, creating a natural lifting effect.

Both JuveLook and JuveLook Volume offer solutions to a wide range of skin concerns, from improving hydration and texture to enhancing volume and elasticity. For optimal results, it is critical to choose a reputable clinic with experienced medical professionals who use authentic products, administer precise dosages, and provide thorough post-treatment care.
