How should the GOURI filler be injected?
For first-time treatments, it is recommended to administer the GOURI filler over three sessions (1 ml per session) spaced four weeks apart. Subsequent treatments can be scheduled every 3–6 months to maintain sustained collagen stimulation.
When are the first results visible?
Depending on the patient, initial results can be seen immediately after injection, as GOURI provides an immediate smoothing effect and subtle volume enhancement. Neocollagenesis typically begins within 1–2 weeks, at which point the first long-lasting results become noticeable.
How long does the GOURI filler last?
The duration can vary between patients. Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a highly effective material that is generally absorbed by the body within 6–12 months.
Can GOURI be used with other anti-aging treatments?
GOURI is compatible with other treatments such as Botox, PRP, or hyaluronic acid fillers. It is recommended to maintain a one-month interval between different treatments.
Are there any known side effects?
As with any injectable treatment, temporary redness, swelling, or lumps may appear at the injection site, typically resolving within 1–3 days. Patients may experience a brief burning sensation during the injection, which subsides immediately afterwards. Avoid blood-thinning medications for seven days prior to treatment to reduce, but not entirely eliminate, the risk of minor bruising.
What factors can affect the effectiveness of GOURI?
Similar to hyaluronic acid fillers, certain factors may reduce the longevity of GOURI’s effects:
- Avoid massaging or manipulating the treated area.
- Limit prolonged sun exposure and always use sunscreen.
- Avoid high temperatures such as saunas or steam baths where possible.
- Do not use skincare products containing AHA, BHA, retinol, or vitamin C on the treated area.
