Juvelook aftercare A clear guide to recovery.
What to do after your treatment, what you may notice, and when to get help. Keep your care gentle and follow the instructions your treating clinician gave you.
MA360 Chatswood & Hurstville, Sydney
01 · Your first week
Simple steps, day by day.
These are general precautions. Your written aftercare plan takes priority for routine care. Warning signs always need prompt assessment.
TodayFirst 24 hours
Leave the area clean and calm
- Wash your hands before any necessary contact. Do not rub, pick or press the injection points.
- Follow your clinician’s timing for washing and makeup. Wait until the injection points have closed and they say it is safe.
- Avoid strenuous exercise and overheating. Choose gentle daily activity instead.
- From treatment day, avoid alcohol and smoking for one week, as advised in the manufacturer’s patient FAQ. [1]
- For mild swelling, ask whether a cool compress is suitable. If advised, wrap it in a clean cloth and apply briefly without firm pressure. Never place ice directly on skin.
Days 2–3As skin settles
Keep skincare simple
- When cleared, use a gentle cleanser and plain moisturiser. Avoid scrubs, exfoliating acids and retinoids while skin is irritated.
- Use shade and a hat. Once the skin has closed and products are comfortable, apply broad-spectrum SPF 50+.
- Continue to avoid saunas, steam rooms and intense heat. Resume exercise when your clinician advises and swelling is settling.
- Check that redness, tenderness and swelling are improving. Get help if they worsen.
Days 4–7Protect recovery
Ease back into your usual routine
- Restart active skincare only when irritation has settled and your clinician agrees.
- Continue avoiding alcohol and smoking until the first week is complete.
- Check with your clinic before facials, skin needling, laser or energy-based treatments. There is no single waiting period for every combination.
- Keep the review arranged by your clinician. Contact the clinic sooner if anything concerns you.
02 · Massage advice
Only massage if your clinician tells you to.
Massage advice varies with the formulation, injection depth and treated area. A published lower-eyelid PDLLA study instructed patients not to massage at home. [5]
If massage is part of your written plan
- Use clean hands and only the pressure and technique demonstrated.
- Follow the exact frequency and duration your clinician prescribed.
- Do not massage the eyelids or use rollers, gua sha or firm kneading unless specifically directed.
No instructions, or unsure? Leave the area alone and ask your treating clinic before starting.
If you were prescribed “3 × 3 × 3”, that means 3 minutes, 3 times a day, for 3 days. It is not a universal Juvelook rule. Do not borrow a massage routine from another injectable product.
Do not massage a painful, discoloured or worsening area. Follow the warning-sign advice below.
03 · What to expect
Look for gradual improvement.
Mild redness, swelling, tenderness and bruising can occur after injections. General filler guidance describes these settling within 7–14 days, often sooner; your recovery may differ. [2]
In the first few days
Injection marks and temporary unevenness may be visible. Swelling should ease rather than keep increasing. Early puffiness is not the final treatment result.
Over the following weeks
Bruises may take longer to fade. A lump that persists, appears later, grows or becomes tender needs a clinical review. Do not try to flatten it yourself.
When will I see results?
Skin changes are assessed over weeks to months. In a small preliminary study, investigators assessed changes after two or three sessions. This does not establish a guaranteed result or a timetable for every patient. Keep your planned review rather than judging the result from early swelling. [4]
04 · When to get help
Know what should not wait.
Use the level of help below. If you are unsure whether a symptom is serious, seek urgent medical advice.
Emergency · Call 000
Vision, breathing or stroke symptoms
- Sudden blurred, double or lost vision.
- Trouble breathing, a swollen tongue or tight throat, or collapse.
- Facial droop, arm weakness, difficulty speaking, or a sudden severe headache.
Call 000 for an ambulance. Do not drive yourself or wait for the clinic to respond. [6] [7] [8]
Call 000Urgent · Get assessed now
Unusual pain or skin colour changes
Severe or increasing pain; skin that turns white, grey, blue or mottled; or new eye pain can signal a serious complication. Seek immediate medical assessment and contact your injector. If they cannot assess you immediately, go to an emergency department. Do not massage or wait until tomorrow. [6]
Same day · Contact your treating clinic
Symptoms that worsen or do not settle
Spreading redness or heat, increasing swelling, discharge, fever, or a lump that persists, grows or becomes tender need review. New widespread hives or facial swelling also need prompt advice; use 000 if breathing or throat symptoms develop. If the clinic is unavailable, seek same-day medical care. [6] [7]
05 · Common questions
Your aftercare questions, answered.
When can I wear makeup or wash my face?
Follow your clinician’s timing and wait until the injection points have closed. Exact timings differ by treatment. When cleared, use clean hands, gentle products and clean applicators. Avoid rubbing. Return to the first-day steps ↑
Can I exercise, use a sauna or drink alcohol?
Avoid strenuous exercise and saunas during early recovery and ask when to restart. The manufacturer advises avoiding alcohol and smoking for one week. This is manufacturer guidance; the precise effect of each restriction has not been established by an aftercare trial. [1]
Should I massage small bumps?
Only follow a massage plan prescribed for your treatment. Do not start extra massage to flatten a lump. Contact the clinic if it persists, becomes tender or grows. Read the massage advice ↑
When can I restart retinol, facials or laser?
Wait until the skin is comfortable and your clinician clears you. Tell them the exact skincare product or procedure you plan to use. Timing depends on skin irritation, the treated area and the next treatment.
What if I need pain relief or take blood thinners?
Ask your clinician or pharmacist which medicine is suitable for you. Do not stop prescribed medicines, including blood thinners, on your own. Severe or increasing pain should be assessed urgently rather than managed only with pain relief. Check warning signs ↑
What is Juvelook, and how does it work?
Juvelook combines poly-D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA) with non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA). PDLLA is a biodegradable material studied for gradual tissue remodelling, including collagen formation. HA attracts water. Early hydration or swelling should not be mistaken for the later result. [4]
Small studies report changes in skin texture and fine lines. They do not prove a guaranteed lift, establish every treatment use, or rule out rare complications. Read MA360’s bio-remodelling guide ↗
06 · Evidence & sources
What the guidance is based on.
Different sources answer different questions. Manufacturer advice informs precautions. Dermatology and hospital guidance inform general injection care. Small clinical studies explore treatment outcomes; they do not validate every aftercare instruction.
No single home-care or massage schedule is established for every Juvelook treatment. General filler and PLLA guidance is identified below so it is not mistaken for Juvelook-specific evidence.
- Juvelook manufacturer · Patient FAQ ↗
Korean-language manufacturer advice: avoid strenuous activity and sauna; avoid smoking and alcohol for one week. It does not prescribe a universal 3 × 3 × 3 home massage routine.
↑ Back to aftercare - American Academy of Dermatology · Fillers FAQs ↗
General filler recovery and precautions. Useful for expected short-term reactions; not a Juvelook-specific protocol.
↑ Back to recovery - Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS · Aftercare tips ↗
Supports wrapped cool compresses and sun protection in a different injectable setting (New-Fill / PLLA). Its massage and timing protocol should not be transferred to Juvelook.
↑ Back to aftercare - Seo & colleagues · Preliminary PDLLA–HA skin study, 2024 ↗
Sixteen participants received two or three sessions. Reported clinical and tissue changes are preliminary; the small study cannot establish long-term safety or a universal recovery schedule.
↑ Back to results - Wan & colleagues · Lower-eyelid PDLLA study, 2025 ↗
This four-case report advised against home massage. This illustrates why aftercare must match the actual procedure, rather than a generic rule.
