In Hong Kong LM SKINCENTRE, we use GOURI, a new generation dermal injectable, for anti-ageing through collagenesis across the entire face. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that focus on filling wrinkles or providing volume to localized areas, GOURI has its distinctive features and innovative technology.
As we age, the collagen inside our skin undergoes degradation, leading to a decrease in collagen synthesis rate and ultimately reduced dermal collagen levels. Collagen plays a crucial role in supporting the skin layer tightly and maintaining skin moisture. The lack of dermal collagen results in visible fine and deep wrinkles, decreased skin tension, elasticity, and flexibility, and a loss of the skin’s recovery ability.
GOURI’s Unique Technology: CESABP
GOURI utilizes the patented Collagenesis-Enabled Solubilized Active and Biodegradable Polymer (CESABP) technology developed by DexLevo. This technology enables GOURI to restore collagen synthesis that has decreased due to skin-ageing, leading to an overall improvement in the skin’s comprehensive condition with a lifting effect. The fully solubilized Polycaprolactones (PCL) in GOURI spread naturally into the surrounding area of the skin, addressing the limitations of traditional polymer products commonly used in the market.
Benefits of GOURI
GOURI’s unique formulation and technology offer several advantages over traditional dermal fillers. It stimulates collagen synthesis across the entire face from only 10 injection points. Additionally, GOURI’s solubilized nature allows it to spread easily to the surrounding areas, reducing the risk of side effects related to micro-particles, such as vascular compression, necrosis, granuloma formation, and skin discoloration. Furthermore, GOURI is compatible with other aesthetic injectables like toxins and skin boosters, providing a comprehensive solution for anti-ageing care.
History of GOURI
GOURI has obtained CE certification as a medical device and is set to enter the European market, with plans for further expansion. DexLevo, the company behind GOURI, has successfully completed Phase-1 clinical trials and is progressing with Phase-2 clinical trials for KFDA approval in 2022.
