Juvelook Volume vs. Filler: What’s the Difference?

Juvelook Volume is a PDLLA-based collagen stimulator that gradually enhances skin elasticity and creates natural-looking volume by promoting collagen growth.
In contrast, fillers use hyaluronic acid to instantly add visible volume and define contours.
Juvelook is ideal for improving elasticity and treating broad hollows, while fillers are better for quick, precise volume correction.
Combining both treatments can achieve a natural yet well-defined facial contour.

What is Juvelook Volume?

Juvelook Volume is a collagen-stimulating booster made with PDLLA (Poly-D-Lactic Acid) that enhances skin elasticity and creates natural volume by promoting collagen synthesis within the skin.

Unlike fillers, which create immediate volume, Juvelook Volume gradually builds natural firmness and fullness from within.

• Main effects: Improves elasticity and creates natural-looking volume

• Recommended frequency: Every 4 weeks, for a total of 3 sessions

• Duration: Over 18 months (may vary by individual)

  

What is a Filler?

A filler uses hyaluronic acid (HA) to directly add volume to sunken areas.
Unlike collagen stimulators, fillers deliver instant, visible results and allow precise control over how much volume to add.

• Main effects: Immediate volume restoration and contour correction

• Recommended frequency: Every 6–12 months

• Duration: Around 12 months

  

Juvelook Volume vs. Filler — The Key Difference Lies in the “Mechanism of Volume Creation”

Because the way they create volume differs, the ideal treatment area also varies.
It’s important to consult a professional to determine which option best suits your needs.

When Juvelook Volume Is the Better Choice

• You want to improve skin elasticity along with volume

• You prefer natural-looking changes

• You have broad cheek hollows

• You’ve had side effects or rejection from fillers in the past

• You’re concerned about vascular occlusion or filler migration

When Fillers Are the Better Choice

• You want immediate volume enhancement

• You prefer visible, defined volume

• You need quick results before an important event

• You’re focused on forehead, temples, under eyes, or upper cheeks

• You’re worried about Juvelook nodules

Combining Juvelook Volume and Fillers for Synergy

In some cases, combining both treatments strategically can yield the best results.

For example:

• Use Juvelook Volume on wide, hollow cheeks and nasolabial folds for elasticity + volume.

• Use fillers on areas that need clear definition like the forehead, temples, nose, or upper cheeks.

This approach creates a naturally lifted yet defined contour.

At ODE Clinic, one of our 50s patients received a volumizing treatment using both Juvelook Volume and fillers.
We recommend Juvelook for larger hollow areas like cheeks and nasolabial folds, and fillers for regions with a higher risk of nodules, such as under eyes or the upper cheek.

How to Choose the Right Clinic for Juvelook Volume or Fillers

1. Look for clinics with many treatment cases

Experience matters. Avoid high-volume “factory-style” clinics where less experienced doctors may perform the procedure.
At ODE Clinic, we have surpassed 5,000 vials of Juvelook Volume treatments.

2. Make sure you can consult directly with the doctor.

Since choosing the right treatment is essential, it’s best to consult with the physician—not only with a coordinator. Clinics that offer multiple treatment options provide more tailored solutions.

3. Choose a clinic that provides before-and-after comparison photos.

Since Juvelook Volume results develop gradually, photo comparisons are important to evaluate the effect objectively.

Want Both the Benefits of Juvelook Volume and Fillers?

Recently, a new hybrid option called HiloWave has been introduced.
Made with high and low molecular hyaluronic acid, HiloWave provides immediate filler-like volume, while also promoting collagen production over time.

Because it doesn’t cause foreign body reactions, it has a lower risk of nodules than Juvelook and feels more natural thanks to its softer texture.

If you’re looking for a treatment that combines the safety of fillers with the long-term benefits of collagen stimulation, HiloWave is an excellent choice.

Depending on the shape and degree of volume loss, the best approach can vary greatly.

That’s why it’s crucial to consult with an experienced doctor in person, and receive customized planning based on your unique facial structure.
