Polycaprolactone (PCL) marks its presence as a key component, revolutionizing anti-aging and skin rejuvenation treatments. This biodegradable polymer, famous for its applications as a dermal filler, injectable and for its skin tightening capabilities, is rapidly gaining popularity for its biocompatibility and long-lasting results.
The introduction of Gouri at the Biolaser Medical Center located in Saint-Louis on the border of Basel and close to Colmar, Mulhouse and Belfort-Montbéliard, an innovative CE certified filler based on the PCL, promises a new era in the skincare industry, offering a forward-thinking solution to improve the elasticity and appearance of the skin.
From anti-aging benefits to application techniques, application procedure, and skin rejuvenation, we’ll take a look at how Gouri stands out as a top choice for those looking for treatment options that are not only effective but also safe
What is polycaprolactone?
Unlike other polymers, PCL has unique characteristics:
- Low melting temperature (about 60°C) and very low glass transition temperature (-60°C) 1
- High flexibility and flexibility 2
- Biodegradability under various conditions (industrial, domestic, soil composting) despite its synthetic origin 2
These properties distinguish PCL from other commonly used polymers and make it a material of choice for specific applications, including biomedical and specialty polyurethanes 1.
Gouri: an overview
Gouri is a revolutionary liquid polycaprolactone (PCL) injectable product developed by Dr. Enjalbert. It uses the patented CESABP (Collagenesis Stimulating Advanced Biodegradable Polymer) technology that allows for a natural regeneration of the skin’s collagen, thus providing long-lasting rejuvenation3.
Unlike other existing PCL products, Gouri is distinguished by its fully liquid and injectable form. It diffuses evenly over the entire face from a single injection point, activating collagen production for a natural lifting and volumizing effect3.
Gouri was awarded the “Best Injectable” award at the prestigious AMWC congress, highlighting its revolutionary nature in the field of natural skin rejuvenation 5.
CESABP Technology
At the heart of Gouri is the CESABP technology, which uses polycaprolactone (PCL), a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer that is particularly effective at stimulating collagen production in a natural way5.
PCL slowly and steadily degrades in the skin, ensuring continuous formation of new collagen. This results in an improvement in skin structure and elasticity in the long term 5.
Some of the main benefits of the LCP include:
- Its biocompatibility, being well tolerated and rarely causing allergic reactions
- Its longevity of action, improving the quality of the skin over a longer period of time compared to other fillers
- Its even distribution thanks to its fluid consistency, giving natural results
In summary, Gouri represents a major breakthrough in anti-aging treatments, combining safety, efficacy and sustainability thanks to its unique collagen stimulation technology. Its development by Dr. Enjalbert and its recognition at the AMWC are a testament to its promising potential.
The benefits of Gouri
Gouri offers many benefits for effective and long-lasting skin rejuvenation thanks to its innovative CESABP technology.
Natural collagen stimulation
Gouri uses the unique CESABP technology to activate the natural production of collagen in your face. This patented method allows skin rejuvenation without the use of microparticles, improving the quality and appearance of the skin 5.
Sustainable results
The effects of Gouri last between 6 and 12 months depending on individual factors like skin type and age. This makes it a long-lasting solution for those looking for long-term improvements without frequent treatments 5.
Safe and effective use
Gouri is CE certified and manufactured in ISO 13485 certified factories. It has undergone extensive clinical studies to ensure its safety and efficacy5.
Other key benefits of Gouri include:
- A complete facial treatment with only one or two injection points, allowing for even distribution and stimulation of collagen over the entire face3
- Particularly effective on the eye contour to revitalize tired eyes and smooth fine lines3
- A simple and minimally invasive application process in 5 steps: consultation, preparation, injection, massage and post-treatment care 3
Gouri is ideal for people with signs of skin aging such as fine lines, wrinkles or loss of elasticity. Its ability to target natural collagen production makes it the perfect choice for long-lasting improvement without resorting to drastic methods3.
Application procedure
The application process of Gouri is relatively simple and minimally invasive, including the following steps:
- Consultation : Before the treatment, a detailed consultation takes place, during which your skin is analyzed and the treatment plan is discussed 6.
- Preparation : The area to be treated is cleaned and disinfected. If necessary, local anesthesia is applied 6.
- Injection : Gouri is injected using a fine needle or cannula in strategic locations to ensure optimal stimulation of collagen 6.
It only takes two injection points per half of the face to achieve visible lifting effects on the entire face 7.
- The 1st injection site is about 3.5 cm (25° angle) from the lateral corner of the eye.
- The 2nd injection site is located above the eyebrow bone 7.
- Massage : After the injection, the treated area is lightly massaged to promote an even distribution of the filler 6.
- Post-treatment care : Immediately after treatment, you can continue your normal activities. However, it is advisable to avoid intensive exposure to the sun and extreme temperatures for a few days 6.
For optimal results, you should usually perform a series of 2 (exceptionally 3) treatments every 4 to 8 weeks. The first effects are visible after 3-4 days and the full effect occurs after 2 weeks 8.
Conclusion
Gouri represents a significant advance in the field of aesthetic medicine, offering an innovative and sustainable solution for skin rejuvenation. Thanks to polycaprolactone, a component that is both biocompatible and biodegradable, Gouri stands out for its ability to stimulate the natural production of collagen, thus guaranteeing long-lasting effects and a considerable improvement in the elasticity and appearance of the skin. This approach highlights the importance of opting for certified and safe treatments, promoting renewed natural beauty.
The involvement of advanced technologies and the expertise behind Gouri’s development highlight not only the potential of polycaprolactone in aesthetic applicationsbut also the importance of continuing research in this field to offer ever more efficient solutions. Through this exploration, Gouri proves to be a preferred choice for those looking for an effective and skin-friendly method, marking another step towards harmonizing aesthetic aspirations with the principles of regenerative medicine.
