Better Skin Glow

Gouri in Seoul — liquid PCL collagen stimulator for elasticity that starts inside the skin

Natural elasticity that starts inside the skin

Gouri — Better Skin Glow at VOS Dermatology Clinic, Gangnam Seoul

Overview

Gouri in Seoul is a liquid-type polycaprolactone (PCL) collagen stimulator — an injectable that builds elasticity from inside the skin rather than adding volume on the surface. The clinic positions it for sagging and fine lines, a natural tightening effect, natural volume recovery and a more fundamental approach to anti-aging.

VOS Dermatology in Gangnam publishes Gouri as one of its "Better Skin Glow" treatments. Detailed protocol, session count and downtime are confirmed at consultation with Dr. Hongseok Kim, and results vary from person to person.

What is Gouri?
Gouri is a liquid-type PCL collagen stimulator. Unlike a hyaluronic-acid filler that fills a spot, it is designed to stimulate your own collagen for elasticity and a natural tightening effect.
Who is Gouri for?
According to the clinic's guidance: people concerned about sagging and fine lines, those who want a natural tightening effect, those who want natural volume recovery, and those looking for a fundamental anti-aging approach. Suitability is decided at the skin analysis.
How does it compare with Sculptra or Juvelook Volume?
All three are collagen biostimulators, but the ingredient differs: Gouri is PCL, Sculptra is PLLA and Juvelook Volume is PDLLA. Dr. Kim will explain which suits your skin and goals during consultation.

About Dr. Hongseok Kim

Dr. Kim performs your Gouri himself — from the first skin analysis to the follow-up check.

Dr. Kim focuses on aesthetic dermatology — skin regeneration, facial contour and healthy aging — and builds each plan from a close look at the individual patient's skin and goals, aiming for natural, refined results.

At VOS the same specialist is responsible for the whole course of care: diagnosis, the procedure itself and follow-up. An accurate reading of skin structure and how it changes is what makes results more complete and keeps the risk of side effects low.
