To be honest, the question I get asked the most is: “How much does it cost to get a Juvelook treatment in Myeongdong? I heard there are a lot of hidden costs involved – is that really true?”

At first, I was also completely confused – the prices I found online ranged from 150,000 won to 1.2 million won, and I had no idea which one to believe. Later, some friends of mine went to South Korea for the procedure and came back with significantly improved skin, which finally convinced me to give it a try myself.

This time, I went to the doctorpetit clinic in Myeongdong. Approximately 3 weeks after receiving the treatment with that blue solution, my skin truly began to glow. It wasn’t the kind of immediate “instantly famous” effect, but rather a gradual improvement in the texture of my skin from within – it felt smooth to the touch, and my makeup looked much better applied. Below is a detailed breakdown of my expenses and my actual experiences, for those of you who may be considering similar treatments.

What exactly is Juvelook? A comprehensive analysis of the blue and black bottles.

Juvelook (also known as乔雅露 or “youthful face needle”) has become extremely popular in the Asian aesthetic medicine community recently. It is actually a Collagen stimulant containing PLLA. Its mechanism of action involves injecting it into the dermis to stimulate the production of natural Collagen, thereby fundamentally addressing issues such as skin laxity, fine lines, and enlarged Pores.

Different from ordinary Filler injections, Juvelook does not work by immediately filling the gaps; instead, it takes effect gradually through the body’s own collagen production process. As a result, the appearance after the treatment is particularly natural, and there is no risk of creating an “artificially shaped face.”

Many people initially fail to understand the difference between the blue bottle and the black bottle, assuming that it’s merely a matter of packaging. In reality, there is a huge difference between the two.

  • Juvelook Skin: This product primarily targets Pores, fine lines, and the overall quality of the skin. Its Collagen-based formula provides a mild stimulating effect, and its fine particles make it suitable for beginners or those looking to improve their skin’s overall condition. However, its lack of sufficient support makes it unsuitable for filling deep wrinkles.
  • Juvelook Volume: These fillers have larger particles and provide greater support, making them ideal for addressing deep-seated issues such as Nasolabial Fold Correction, sunken cheeks, and Tear trough correction. The results are more lasting, but the cost is also higher. This procedure requires a doctor with advanced technical skills to perform it properly.

At first, I chose the blue bottle, mainly hoping to improve my Pores and overall skin quality. After using it regularly, I found the results quite satisfactory. I didn’t have any expectations of instantly becoming a “social media celebrity” after using it, but about 3 weeks later, my friends started asking if I had changed my skincare products, because my skin really looked different.

Which is more suitable for me, Juvelook or Rejuran?

I also spent a lot of time struggling with this issue before going. It wasn’t until I talked to the consultant at doctorpetit for nearly 20 minutes that I finally understood it. Simply put…

  • Rejuran Healer: This is primarily a post-surgical recovery type of hyaluronic acid injection, containing PDRN (polynucleotides) as its active ingredient. It provides strong healing properties after injection and is suitable for post-surgical care or for people with sensitive skin. Its main effects include moisturizing, soothing the skin, and reducing fine lines; however, its ability to promote collagen production is not as strong as that of Juvelook.
  • Juvelook: Focusing on the regeneration of Collagen, it effectively addresses issues such as skin laxity and Pores, and offers significant anti-aging benefits. This approach represents a “from within” approach to skin improvement. If you want to fundamentally reduce the signs of aging, Juvelook is the right choice for you.
  • The two can be used in combination: Many clinics recommend applying Juvelook 1-2 times first to establish a strong collagen foundation, and then using Rejuran for post-treatment care and maintenance, which will yield even better results. Of course, the budget will also need to be doubled accordingly.

My final decision was to first undergo three sessions of the Juvelook blue serum as a foundational treatment, followed by the use of Rejuran for glow maintenance. The consultant told me that this combination is very popular in South Korea, and many foreign tourists follow this approach.

If you want to know the specific prices of Rejuran, you can refer to the price list of Rejuran products in Myeongdong that I prepared earlier. By comparing the two, you will have a clearer understanding.

Myeongdong Juvelook: Price comparison of the blue bottle vs the black bottle (2026)

The prices listed below are based on the market conditions in South Korea (as of 2026). The actual fees will be subject to the on-site quotes provided by the respective institutions. Different institutions, doctors, and dosages can all affect the final price, so please do not rely solely on the numbers; it is more important to assess the reliability of the institution itself.

Let me share a small anecdote: The first time I inquired about the price at another clinic, they told me it would cost ₩150,000. However, when I actually went there, the consultant explained that that amount was only for a 1-centum core trial dose; for a full face treatment, 3–4 centum cores would be required, which meant the total cost would be roughly the same as doctorpetit’s official quote. So, a low price isn’t necessarily a good thing.

Product Types One-time reference price Reference for the 3-package option Primary benefits
Blue Bottle (Hydrating Type) ₩300,000 to ⩿500,000 800,000 yen to 1.3 million yen Pores, fine lines, and the overall quality of the skin across the face
Black Bottle (Volume-rich Type) From ¥500,000 to ¥800,000 It is recommended to confirm this in person. Nasolabial Fold Correction, cheeks, and Tear trough correction
Customized Edition (including LDN booster) Over 900,000 yen It is recommended to confirm this in person. Comprehensive anti-aging – more effective results

⚠️ Important notice: Some advertisements on the market claim a low price of ₩150,000, but this is likely referring to a trial dose of just 1 centum core. To achieve the desired results, it is essential to use a sufficient amount of Juvelook. Never be misled by the low price; trying to save money by using less may actually result in you spending more in the long run due to additional recommendations.

Why did I ultimately choose the doctorpetit store in Myeongdong? Three real reasons.

To be honest, at first I also read many reviews online and compared three different clinics before finally choosing doctorpetit. There were mainly three reasons for my decision:

  • The location is extremely convenient: it is located on the 2nd floor of the Sejong Hotel, just a 5-minute walk from Myeongdong Station on Line 4 of the subway. I can simply stop by after shopping, without having to make a separate trip, which saves me a lot of time. If you are looking for other beauty clinics in Myeongdong, you may want to first check out the top 5 recommendations for clinics in Myeongdong.
  • Doctorpetit, a leading specialist in Juvelook treatments: In South Korea, doctorpetit is an officially authorized Juvelook treatment center, and its physicians have extensive experience in performing such procedures. I specifically checked their reviews on Naver, and the overall ratings are quite good; many foreign tourists have left positive comments about them.
  • Foreigners are very friendly: There are consultants who can speak Chinese, so there are no barriers at all during the pre-treatment communication. Before the procedure, I asked many questions (about the dosage, recovery time, and precautions), and the consultants answered them all patiently, which really reassured me.

Let me share a small detail: On the day I visited, someone had just finished the treatment with the “black bottle” and their face showed slight redness and swelling. However, the nurses at the clinic immediately provided them with ice packs and gave instructions for post-treatment care – the whole process was very professional and orderly. Such attention to detail really improved my impression of the clinic.

Preoperative Preparation Checklist: These are the things I did before going ahead with the procedure.

Many people overlook the importance of pre-operative preparation, but in fact, the quality of this preparation directly affects both the recovery speed and the final outcome. Before going ahead with the procedure, I carefully prepared a checklist, and even the nurses at the clinic said that I was very well-prepared.

  • Discontinue the use of skincare products containing whitening ingredients such as vitamin A acid or retinol (stop using them 7 days in advance to avoid excessive irritation to the skin).
  • Avoid tanning or darkening treatments – start practicing strict sun protection 2 weeks in advance, as tanned skin is more prone to reddening after such treatments.
  • If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform the clinic in advance. In general, it is not recommended to undergo any injection treatments during pregnancy.
  • If you are taking any anticoagulant medications such as aspirin or ginkgo, you should stop taking them 3 to 5 days in advance and inform the medical institution accordingly.
  • What to bring: Passport, reference images of the desired treatment results (it’s best to have pictures of the target area), and some cash or credit cards as backup.
  • If you attend the procedure without makeup on that day, the clinic will perform a pre-operative cleansing, but it’s better to prepare in advance to ensure everything goes smoothly.
  • When making an appointment, please inform us in advance: the type of product you would like to use (Blue Bottle or Black Bottle), whether you have any history of allergies, and any medications you are currently taking.

⚠️ A tip I almost overlooked myself: A week before the treatment, I was still using retinol serum. The clinic consultant advised me to stop using it for 7 days before getting the injection. Fortunately, I asked in advance; otherwise, the treatment might have caused excessive irritation. Many people don’t know this, so I want to remind everyone especially.

How long is the recovery period for Juvelook? Please provide a detailed timeline.

This is the second most frequently asked question I receive: “How long does it take before I can be seen by others after the treatment?” I have simply compiled my own recovery experience along with the estimated recovery times provided by the medical institution, and shared them with everyone.

time Blue Bottle (Hydrating Type) Black Bottle (Volume) Precautions
On the same day after the surgery Mild redness and visible needle marks will subside within approximately 2 to 3 hours. The swelling is quite noticeable and usually subsides within 1 to 2 days, leaving only mild bruising. Avoid contact with water and do not apply makeup for 24 hours.
1-3 days after the procedure The puncture site has closed, and when gently touched, it feels granular. The swelling is gradually subsiding, but there is still a slight sense of tightness on the face. You can wash your face as usual, but avoid high-temperature environments such as saunas and hot baths.
3 to 7 days after the procedure The glow of the skin began to improve, and its texture became smoother to the touch. It looks quite natural, and the filling effect is already beginning to be visible. You can apply light makeup to enhance hydration and avoid exfoliating.
2 to 4 weeks after the procedure The effects are becoming increasingly noticeable; Pores and fine lines are showing signs of improvement. During the period when the effects are most noticeable, the contours become fuller and more natural. It allows for normal skin care and helps maintain sun protection habits.
1 to 3 months after the procedure During the peak period of collagen regeneration, the skin reaches its optimal condition. Maintain stable results over time It is recommended to use it in combination with Rejuran for enhanced glow and longer-lasting effects.

My own experience with Juvelook: On the day of the treatment, my skin became slightly red and itchy, but by the next day, it had returned to normal, and the needle marks were almost invisible. Around the third week, some friends noticed that my skin looked brighter and asked if I had changed my skincare routine. In fact, it was the effects of Juvelook that were starting to show.

Real customer reviews: What do those who have been there have to say?

When choosing a clinic myself, in addition to checking the official website of the clinic, I also specifically went to Naver Place to read the reviews from real customers. Here are a few reviews that I found particularly valuable for reference:

  • [⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ / 4.9 points] “This was my first time getting a Juvelook treatment, and I chose the doctorpetit store in Myeongdong. The location of the clinic is very easy to find – it’s on the 2nd floor of the Sejong Hotel. The Chinese consultant was extremely patient. About 3 weeks after the treatment, my skin really started to glow, and all my friends noticed that my complexion had improved.” (Naver Place, 2025)
  • [⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ / 4.8 points] “I have sensitive and dry skin, and previous hyaluronic acid injections didn’t show much effect. This time, I had the Juvelook Blue Bottle treatment at doctorpetit, and after one month, I could clearly feel that something was providing support for my skin’s underlying layers – it’s not just a superficial moisturizing effect. The price is reasonable, and the recovery period is also short.” (Naver Place, 2025)
  • [⭐⭐⭐⭐ / 4.6 points] “I got the Nasolabial Fold Correction done using doctorpetit’s treatment. The doctor’s technique was very precise, and the pain during the procedure was much less than I expected. It took about 5 days to recover, and now my Nasolabial Fold Correction results are really noticeable; my friends all say I look much more refreshed.” (Naver Place, 2026)

Of course, there are also some reviews with moderate ratings on the internet that mention things like “it takes three treatments to see noticeable results” and “the price is higher than that of regular hyaluronic acid injections.” These are all facts, and I wouldn’t just say good things without mentioning the downsides. Juvelook is definitely not that kind of “miracle injection” that can produce immediate results; I suggest everyone have realistic expectations before trying it.

Avoid price traps: When choosing Juvelook, don’t just focus on the numbers.

This point is really crucial, and I would like to emphasize it particularly. During my process of choosing a clinic, I encountered several pitfalls firsthand, so I really want to share my experiences with everyone.

  • ⚠️ Low-price traps: Some clinics advertise treatments for ₩150,000, but this usually refers to a small test dose of 1 centum core. For a full face treatment, 2–4 centum cores are typically required. Once the treatment starts at such a low price, the clinic might claim that “the dose is insufficient and additional treatment is recommended,” which actually ends up costing more. When I inquired at doctorpetit, they clearly told me the exact dose needed for a full face treatment and the corresponding cost, which impressed me greatly.
  • ⚠️ Diluted injections: Juvelook must be administered at its original concentration; diluting it will significantly reduce its effectiveness. Choosing an officially certified clinic can help minimize this risk.
  • ⚠️ Just focusing on price: It is recommended to give priority to Juvelook officially certified clinics. The results achieved by doctors with advanced technical skills are truly significantly different. Even with the same product, the outcomes can vary greatly depending on the doctor performing the treatment.
  • ⚠️ Underestimated dosage: Some clinics initially quote lower prices, but during the actual treatment, they claim that “more centum core is needed to achieve the desired results” and force customers to pay an additional amount. My advice is to ask clearly how many centum cores are required for the entire face before starting the treatment, and request a written quote from the clinic.

Therefore, my advice is that when choosing a clinic, its reputation is far more important than the price. I chose doctorpetit precisely because they are an officially recognized clinic. Their doctors have experience in handling numerous cases, and the prices are transparent – there are no hidden fees or additional charges, which really reassured me.

Frequently Asked Questions: Make sure to clarify these points before proceeding.

Before going there, I also researched a lot of information online, but some questions could only be clarified on-site at the institution. Here are some common questions that I have compiled:

Q1: How many treatments are needed for Juvelook to be effective?

It is generally recommended that 3 treatments constitute a complete course, with each treatment spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. A single treatment will bring about slight improvements, but true collagen regeneration requires time and repeated treatments. If your budget is limited, you may consider starting with 1 to 2 treatments to see the effects before proceeding with additional sessions.

Q2: Does getting a Juvelook treatment hurt?

To be honest, it does hurt, but not to the point where you can’t bear it. Before the procedure, the clinic will apply an anesthetic ointment for 20–30 minutes. During the treatment, I felt a stinging sensation similar to that of being pricked by a needle, which was completely tolerable. If you are particularly afraid of pain, you can ask the clinic to extend the application time of the anesthetic. After the treatment, there may be some mild redness on your face, but it will subside within 2–3 hours.

Q3: What are the differences between Juvelook and treatments such as Thermage and HIFU?

Juvelook is an injectable product that primarily stimulates the production of Collagen to improve skin quality; HIFU and the HIFU device are energy-based treatments designed specifically for Lifting and contour definition. Since their mechanisms of action differ, so do their effects. If a patient has both issues with skin sagging and poor skin quality, many clinics recommend combining these two treatments, but this will naturally double the cost.

Q4: Can I wear makeup after the treatment?

It is not recommended to apply makeup within 24 hours after the procedure to allow the needle holes to fully close. From the second day onward, you can use makeup as usual, but it is advisable to choose mineral-based foundations and avoid products that contain alcohol or other irritating ingredients.

Q5: Where in Myeongdong can one get a Juvelook treatment? Are there any other options besides doctorpetit?

There are many clinics in Myeongdong that offer Juvelook services, but relatively few of them have official certifications. If you are comparing different clinics, you may want to refer to the TOP5 list of clinics in Myeongdong and the price comparison table for DAN-A in Myeongdong that I have prepared earlier. It’s never too late to compare several options before making a decision.

How to make an appointment: How can I contact the doctorpetit store in Myeongdong?

I myself made my appointment through BeautsGO, and the entire process was handled in Chinese. From consultation to actual appointment, everything went smoothly. Here’s how I did it:

  • Book through BeautsGO (recommended): You will be assigned a one-on-one Chinese-speaking customer service agent, and you can pay on-site. The clinic staff also speak Chinese, so you don’t have to worry about language barriers at all. I booked my appointment this way myself, and it was really convenient.
  • The institution is located on the 2nd floor of the Sejong Hotel, just a 5-minute walk from Exit 5 of Line 4 at the Myeongdong subway station.
  • Opening hours: Monday to Friday, 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM; weekends, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. It is recommended to make reservations in advance, as there are usually more people on weekends.
  • It is recommended to bring the following: passport, reference images of previous results, and some cash on hand (as some institutions only accept cash or South Korea cards).

In conclusion: My honest opinion about getting a Juvelook treatment in Myeongdong

To be honest, when my friends first recommended Juvelook to me, I was a bit skeptical. Could it really work? There were so many different claims online, and the prices varied greatly – which one should I believe?

Later, I decided to give it a try myself. Approximately 3 weeks after using the blue bottle, I truly noticed that my skin was starting to improve. It wasn’t the kind of immediate effect that would make me instantly famous, but rather a gradual improvement in the skin’s overall glow and smoothness. Friends around me also noticed that my complexion looked much better, and it was then that I truly believed Juvelook was effective.

If you are also considering getting a Juvelook treatment in Myeongdong, my advice is that choosing the right clinic is far more important than saving money. The doctorpetit clinic in Myeongdong that I chose has a convenient location (on the 2nd floor of the Sejong Hotel next to the Myeongdong subway station), is officially certified by Juvelook, and offers transparent prices. Moreover, you can book the entire process through BeautsGO, so you don’t have to worry about language barriers at all.
