What Does Gouri Set Out to Achieve?
Gouri, a revolutionary injectable from South Korea, has quickly gained recognition globally for its innovative approach to skin rejuvenation. Introduced in Korea in 2020, it has been in use internationally for several years and received TGA approval for use in Australia in 2024. Unlike conventional treatments targeting specific areas, Gouri enhances skin texture, hydration, and elasticity across the face and neck. Its biostimulating properties activate natural collagen production, promoting youthful, radiant skin while preserving your natural facial structure.

What Results Can I Expect From a Gouri Treatment?
Patients can expect a noticeable improvement in skin smoothness, firmness, and hydration. Gouri works gradually, enhancing skin quality over time. Stimulating collagen synthesis softens fine lines and wrinkles while restoring the skin's plumpness and resilience. The results are subtle yet transformative, ideal for those seeking natural-looking rejuvenation.

How Does Gouri Work?
Gouri is the first fully liquid polycaprolactone (PCL)-based injectable approved by the TGA in Australia. Using Liquid PCL technology, Gouri diffuses evenly under the skin, stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen. Targeting the underlying causes of skin ageing provides uniform enhancement of skin health without relying on fillers or toxins.

How Is Gouri Different From Other Biostimulators?
Gouri stands apart from biostimulators like Profhilo and Rejuran due to:

Full Liquid Formulation: Ensures even distribution for a natural, radiant glow.
Biodegradable and Safe: Its PCL base is biocompatible, breaking down naturally over time.
Minimal Downtime: Effects unfold progressively, allowing you to resume daily life with little disruption.

What Can I Expect During My Gouri Treatment? Is It Painful?
Gouri treatments involve a series of microinjections administered with a small cannula across targeted areas of the face or neck. The procedure is minimally invasive and relatively comfortable, thanks to fine needles and optional numbing cream. Some patients report a mild tingling sensation but no significant discomfort. If needed, happy gas can be provided at the practitioner's discretion for added pain or anxiety relief.

How Long Does a Gouri Treatment Take?
The treatment itself takes about 20 minutes, making it a convenient choice for busy schedules. Including consultation and preparation, your visit to Beauty by Doctor (BBD) in Bondi Junction typically lasts around 30 minutes.

What Is the Downtime After a Gouri Session, and What Kind of Aftercare Is Required?
Downtime is minimal, with most patients resuming normal activities immediately after the procedure. Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at injection sites may occur but usually subsides within 24 to 48 hours. Aftercare includes:
Avoiding intense physical activity for 24 hours.
Refraining from blood-thinning medications for a day.
Keeping skin hydrated and protected from sun exposure.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?
A typical course involves two to three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. At Beauty by Doctor, your practitioner will design a customised plan tailored to your skin's needs. A general rule of thumb is one vial per decade of age per area treated (e.g., the face as one area, the neck as another). Treatments often involve two vials per session. For example, a 40-year-old treating their face would generally require two vials in the first session and another two vials four to six weeks later. Maintenance treatments—one or two vials every 6–12 months—are recommended to extend results.

How Long After a Gouri Treatment Will I See Results?
Initial improvements may be visible within two weeks, with optimal results emerging after six to eight weeks. This allows the collagen-stimulating effects to fully take effect.

How Long Do the Results Last?
Gouri's results are long-lasting, with many patients enjoying enhanced skin quality for up to 12 months and beyond. Maintenance treatments can further extend these benefits.

What Is the Typical Cost of a Gouri Treatment?
Costs vary based on treatment area and individual needs, with prices typically starting at $880 per vial.
