What is the difference between Sculptra and Juvelook?
Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) from Galderma, planned by the vial, and it is generally used to rebuild structural volume across a broad area. Juvelook is a poly-D,L-lactic acid and hyaluronic-acid hybrid from VAIM, dosed by the cc, and it works on fine lines, pores and skin texture while adding natural volume. Both stimulate your own collagen gradually. They differ in scale, in unit, and in what they are aimed at.
Which one is better for hollow cheeks and lost volume?
When the shortfall is structural — flattened temples, cheeks that read hollow, a face that looks drawn at rest — the vial-scale PLLA plan is usually the more direct route, because it is built for area-scale rebuilding. Juvelook can add natural volume too, but at cc scale it is a finer instrument. The EVE Muse 3D scan measures where the volume actually went before either is recommended.
Which is better for pores, fine lines and skin texture?
Juvelook. Its PDLLA and HA hybrid is asked to improve fine lines, pores and skin texture while forming natural volume, which is exactly the quality-led brief. Sculptra's poly-L-lactic acid is aimed at structure rather than surface. If your goal is skin that looks refined without your face looking fuller, the PDLLA route fits better.
Are Sculptra and Juvelook fillers?
Not in the ordinary sense. A hyaluronic-acid filler occupies space the moment it is placed and can be dissolved with hyaluronidase; these two ask your own collagen to build over the following months, so the change appears slowly and there is nothing to dissolve if you change your mind. If your concern is a single crease or an immediate contour change, an HA filler is the better recommendation.
How many vials or cc will I need?
The plan is written per face; there is no fixed course to buy. Your director sets the number of vials or cc and the interval from your diagnosis, then reviews the plan as your collagen response appears, so the next session follows what your skin has done. You approve each stage and its total before it goes ahead.
How much do Sculptra and Juvelook cost in Seoul?
At Dear Clinic, Sculptra is ₩1,200,000 (≈ $855) per vial and Juvelook Volume is ₩100,000 (≈ $70) per cc, with specialty-area dosing at its own published rate. Because a vial and a cc are different quantities of work, compare the planned total rather than the headline figures. Both are published prices, identical for locals and international visitors, and approved by you before treatment.
Can I have both, or switch from one to the other?
Yes, and staging them is common: structural work first, surface refinement afterwards, spaced so each material has time to answer. Switching is equally reasonable if your diagnosis changes, since nothing commits you to a product. Both are in-house here, so the sequence is designed around your face and not around what happens to be available.
Is a collagen stimulator worth it for me?
Ask your director to show you, on the 3D scan, whether what you dislike is lost volume or lost skin quality. If it is neither — if the finding is laxity, or one deep fold — a stimulator is the wrong purchase and we will say so. If it is either, the category is built for it, and the scan indicates which of the two materials applies. What a stimulator cannot give you is a visible change this week.
What does the session feel like, and is there downtime?
Fine-needle injections, made comfortable with topical numbing applied beforehand; most people describe brief pinching and some pressure as the material is distributed. Afterwards expect mild redness, small injection bumps or slight tenderness, usually settling within a day or two. Keep cleansing gentle, skip scrubs for about a week, and hold off on alcohol, smoking and saunas briefly. Most people return to their normal plans the same day.
How long do the results last?
Both build gradually as collagen forms, and Juvelook is characterised by its manufacturer as long-lasting for that reason. How long any individual keeps the result depends on age, skin condition and lifestyle, so we do not quote a fixed figure on a web page. Your director gives you a realistic expectation for your own plan at consultation and revises it as the response develops.
Can I start a stimulator plan on the day I arrive in Seoul?
Usually yes. The EVE Muse 3D diagnosis and doctor consultation take about 30 minutes, and a first vial or first cc can follow immediately once your director confirms suitability. What a short trip cannot compress is the collagen response itself, so if you are here for four days, plan on flying home before the change is visible. Dear Clinic is open 365 days a year, including Sundays and public holidays.
Is the price the same for international visitors, and how do I book from abroad?
One published price list covers residents and visitors alike; KRW is what you pay and USD is shown for reference. Send the consultation form below with your travel dates and we reply in English within one business day, holding your slot without a deposit. Tell us how long you are in Korea: a staged Sculptra-then-Juvelook plan needs months, and if your trip is short we will tell you which single step is worth doing now and which is better started at home.
