Skin boosters in Gangnam — Rejuran, Juvelook, Sculptra and SkinVive

Skin, surgery and body under one roof

Forever Plastic Surgery & Dermatology Gangnam has been at the same Nonhyeon-ro address for fourteen years and has seen around seventy thousand patients in that time. Skin care, surgery and body work are all handled in the one building, which means a patient with more than one concern is not sent between clinics for each part of it.

Declined rather than sold

The clinic's stated position is that the most common problem in Gangnam is not a lack of options but too many of them, recommended too freely. Treatments with a known ceiling, or that do not suit the face in front of them, are declined rather than sold. Patients travel here from Jeonnam, Busan and Gangwon on referral, and from Thailand, Taiwan and China.

Combining devices

Yes. The clinic runs a combined lifting programme that stages all three, quoted as one package at consultation.

Rejuran uses polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA to support dermal repair. It works on skin quality — barrier function, fine texture, post-inflammatory recovery — rather than on contour or laxity, which is why it is generally staged alongside lifting rather than instead of it. The eye formulation is prepared at a different viscosity for thinner periorbital skin.

Juvelook combines poly-D,L-lactic acid microspheres with hyaluronic acid. The HA gives an early hydrating effect while the PDLLA drives collagen remodelling over the following months. It addresses skin density and fine texture more than facial contour, and is assessed over a staged course rather than a single visit.

Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid stimulator: rather than filling a space it prompts the skin to produce its own collagen across six to twelve weeks. Because the change is gradual and structural it suits patients who want restored facial support without an obvious change week to week. Correct reconstitution and standing time before injection is what prevents nodule formation, and sessions are staged so the response can be assessed before more product is placed.

SkinVive places hyaluronic acid in microdroplets through the dermis rather than as a bolus for volume. The effect is on hydration and surface smoothness — cheek texture in particular — and it is used where the complaint is skin quality rather than a contour deficit.
