Gouri is a novel skin injectable that stimulates collagen formation when injected into the skin’s dermis. It includes a soluble version of PCL (polycaprolactone) that penetrates the skin and forms a 3D matrix that activates fibroblasts. This enhances skin suppleness and allows for face lifting.

Because of its slow biodegradation in the human body, PCL is an excellent implantable biomaterial as when injected in the form of microparticles, it can induce collagen formation. It demonstrates multiple skin aesthetic benefits such as addressing face aging indicators like volume loss and contour laxity, offering an instant and long-lasting natural impact.

There are two types of fillers: HA-based and PCL-based. Though dermal fillers may also stimulate collagen regeneration, they cannot be injected evenly into the skin due to the nature and shape of the particles. As a result, these fillers are only used in focus areas. PCL-based filler on the other hand can be used to fill in specific types of acne scars.

As a result, GOURI is intended to have a more widespread impact, whereas dermal fillers are more targeted and focused on locations with a specific volume deficit.
