What is GOURI used for in the under-eye area?

GOURI is an injectable based on liquid polycaprolactone (PCL), a biodegradable polymer used in collagen-stimulating treatment. Dark circles may combine hollows, pigment and visible vessels, so improving texture alone cannot address every cause. PCL differs from PLLA in Sculptra and PDO in ULTRACOL. It cannot be dissolved like HA; a liquid formulation does not eliminate injection risks.

What is recovery and aftercare like after GOURI around the eyes?

Injection marks, redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness or temporary bumps can occur; recovery varies. Avoid strong irritation, overheating and strenuous exercise while the skin settles. Follow your instructions for washing and makeup. Massage and pressure advice differs by product. Follow your clinician’s instructions rather than another product’s routine. Temporary injection bumps differ from persistent or delayed nodules. Seek review for a firm lump that persists, grows, hurts or becomes red. Non-HA materials such as PDLLA cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase like HA filler. Worsening pain, pale or mottled skin, visual symptoms or breathing difficulty need urgent medical attention. Outcomes and duration vary; a specific result is not guaranteed. Persistent swelling or discomfort should be assessed before further treatment. Keep these product differences in mind when discussing your aftercare. PCL differs from PLLA in Sculptra and PDO in ULTRACOL.
