Recently, social media has been buzzing about GOURI, known as the "Fountain of Youth" or "Safe Liquid Needle," leading everyone to wonder about its effectiveness! So, what sets it apart to gain such fame?

What is GOURI?

GOURI is a rejuvenating needle that primarily stimulates collagen production in the skin, restoring collagen production rates that decline due to skin aging. Collagen protein typically constitutes 70-80% of the skin naturally, but its levels begin to decrease by 1.5% annually after the age of 25. This reduction results in sagging, thinning, dryness, and decreased elasticity of the skin.

GOURI stands out as the first product of its kind containing Polycaprolactone (PCL) in liquid form, winning the award for the best bio-stimulator in 2022. Manufactured by DEXLEVO in South Korea (not among the boycotting countries), it has been granted agencies in several Arab countries, with Jordan being one of the prominent ones.

Benefits of GOURI

GOURI is suitable for individuals starting from the age of 25 and has benefits for the face, neck, and hands, summarized as follows:

Face (Forehead, Cheeks, Chin):

- Increases skin moisture and elasticity.

- Lightens skin tone.

- Reduces skin sagging and wrinkles.

- Tightens the skin.

- Minimizes the appearance of skin pores.

- Preserves skin youthfulness and vitality.

Neck:

- Reduces neck wrinkles and fine lines.

- Tightens and reduces sagging in the neck area.

Hands:

- Reduces signs of aging, including sagging and fine lines.

- Conceals the appearance of prominent veins and tendons.

Note: GOURI does not cause any undesirable volume increase as it is not a filler and does not function as such!

GOURI Injection Method

The GOURI injection method is straightforward, usually taking less than ten minutes. GOURI spreads easily at the injection site and requires fewer injection points compared to fillers and other collagen-stimulating injections. Here's a summary of the procedure:

- Cleanse the face of any makeup residue.

- The doctor marks the face with a pen to indicate the injection path and sites.

- Apply a local anesthetic to the face or mix it with the needle.

- Inject the face at the agreed-upon locations.

Note: Your doctor may prescribe certain medications before GOURI injection as a preventive measure against swelling or sensitivity (but not necessarily).

Side Effects of GOURI Injection

GOURI is known for its safety, being the safest needle available. It's worth noting that it is the only liquid needle; other types come in powder form, which can lead to side effects such as decreased blood circulation, blood vessel compression, and prominent skin rash. Therefore, GOURI does not cause any of these severe side effects.

There might be very slight swelling or bruising after injection, but it typically subsides within a day or two. So, no need to worry!

Precautions and Contraindications of GOURI Injection

It is advisable to avoid GOURI injection in the following cases:

- Allergy to PCL or any components of the needle.

- Previous permanent filler injections.

- Individuals over 75 years of age due to severe skin thinning.

- Autoimmune disorders.

- Immune system disorders.

- Pregnancy and artificial insemination.

- Breastfeeding.

- Bone deformities due to rheumatism.

- Active inflammation or infection.

- Some inflammations, such as tendonitis, vasculitis, or skin cancers.

My Experience with GOURI Injection

L.M. shares her story, saying, "As a forty-year-old woman, the appearance of wrinkles on my skin and neck was bothersome. Recently, my skin's appearance changed, becoming thinner. I had previously tried fillers and Botox, which helped but I also desired freshness for my skin. My doctor recommended GOURI, which made a difference for me! I didn't feel any pain or discomfort during the injection, and there was no noticeable swelling or bruising afterward. It was straightforward!

The results of the needle began to appear after about 10 days, and within 4 weeks, the difference was clear and noticeable to those around me! My face became brighter, younger, and beautifully tightened, with fewer signs of aging and wrinkles. I must say it's one of the best procedures I've had in my life, and I recommend it to everyone! It's a hallmark of natural beauty."
