What is Gouri liquid lifting?
Gouri is an injectable made of polycaprolactone (PCL), a biodegradable material also used in absorbable thread lifts. Its maker, Dexlevo of South Korea, describes it as the first fully liquid PCL injectable. Gouri received its CE certificate as a medical device in 2021.
Gouri is one of several collagen stimulators in Ubud we offer. Most of the others carry solid microparticles suspended in a gel. Gouri is fully dissolved, so it spreads evenly under the skin instead of staying where it is injected. That is why it is called "liquid lifting": it treats the whole face at once rather than one spot.
As the first and only liquid collagen stimulator, Gouri spreads easily providing comprehensive collagen synthesis across the entire face, ensuring harmonious and natural lift.
What does it do?
- Provide lifting of saggy skin
- Increased skin elasticity
- Reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
- Stimulate the collagen production
Gouri does not fill. If you have lost volume in the cheeks or temples, a filler or a volumising stimulator suits you better.
Who is it for?
Gouri suits adults with early to moderate skin laxity who want a firmer face without looking fuller. It works well for people with a fuller face shape, and for concerns such as nasolabial folds, jowls and loose skin along the jawline.
It is not suitable during pregnancy, or with an active skin infection, certain autoimmune conditions, bleeding disorders or severe allergies. Your doctor checks your medical history at the consultation before any treatment.
How the treatment works in our clinic?
- Consultation: A doctor assesses your skin and confirms Gouri is the right option for your goal.
- Preparation: The skin is cleansed and numbing cream applied.
- Injection: Gouri is placed in the deep dermis with a cannula (a blunt needle) through only two small entry points. Fewer entry points mean less bruising than multiple needle injections.
- Aftercare: You can return to normal activities the same day. Your doctor gives you aftercare instructions.
Results, longevity and sessions
Results are gradual. Collagen builds over several weeks, with a clearer improvement after 1 to 2 months. Most people need 1 session; more advanced sagging may benefit from a second. Results last around 6 to 9 months, after which a maintenance session can be planned.
Side effects
Mild swelling, redness, bruising, tenderness or a tight feeling can appear after treatment. These usually settle within a few days. As with any injectable, rarer risks such as nodules exist, which is why Gouri is performed only by our doctors.
Final thoughts
Gouri liquid lifting is a good fit if your main concern is mild sagging and you want a firmer face without added volume. If what you miss is volume rather than firmness, another collagen stimulator may suit you better, and our doctors will tell you honestly which one.

FAQ
Is the Gouri in Bali safe?
As the first and only liquid-type PCL collagen stimulator, Gouri redefines safety in collagen stimulation as it has no microparticles. Side effects such as granuloma & necrosis commonly associated with traditional collagen stimulators, become uncommon with Gouri, thanks to its formula being fully solubilized.
How is Gouri PCL Injectable different from other collagen stimulators in Bali?
Unlike conventional collagen stimulators that involve a mixture of high polymer material powder (like PCL and PLLA) with liquid saline or CMC gel, Gouri stands out as the first fully liquid-type PCL injectable. This allows Gouri to spread out into the entire face with no severe complications like granuloma and necrosis. Conventional collagen stimulators primarily target localized areas, with hypercorrection risk if too much product is injected.
How long does the Gouri in Bali last?
Gouri's impact endures with one session delivering results that persist for an impressive 6-9 months. However, additional sessions may be required in the severe aging case. The biodegradable high polymer material offers unparalleled durability and longevity.
