More About Juvederm Volux

Dermal fillers have become an essential part of aesthetic medicine, with a significant increase in minimally invasive procedures compared to aesthetic surgeries. According to recent statistics, the use of fillers has risen by 10.4%, while aesthetic surgeries have slightly decreased by 0.6%. [1] The reason for this increase is that dermal fillers offer a non-surgical alternative to enhance and restore volume to the face, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and improve skin texture. Injectable gels can provide immediate results with minimal downtime and are customizable to suit each patient’s unique needs.

Juvederm Volux is the latest formulation in the incredible line of Juvederm fillers made from hyaluronic acid (HA). The primary use of hyaluronic acid fillers is to address wrinkles, creases, and volume loss. Hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring, has a high molecular weight, and is found in all mammals. Its unique physical and chemical properties make it an incredibly hygroscopic (attracts moisture) molecule, capable of holding up to 1000 times its weight in water. [2]

The effectiveness of HA as a filler is determined by various factors, including the length of its polymer chain, concentration, degree of cross-linking, and the technology used for cross-linking. These features impact the filler’s duration and efficacy. The HA gel in Juvederm Volux is specially formulated to provide long-lasting results because it uses the patented Vycross technology, which combines high and low molecular-weight hyaluronic acid in a proprietary mixture. Juvederm Volux utilizes high G’ (ability to maintain shape) and high cohesivity hyaluronic acid to create and restore facial volume in the chin and lower face. [3]

What is Hyaluronic Acid?

Hyaluronic acid (HA), also known as hyaluronan, is a natural substance found in our bodies made up of tiny sugar molecules that help support our tissues. HA helps attract and retain water in the skin, which leads to a more refreshed look and natural-looking radiance. Due to HA’s unique ability to attract and keep water, even a small amount, it can hold onto water many times its weight. In short: hyaluronic acid is a highly efficient water-absorbing molecule. Juvederm Volux helps keep your skin looking plump, smooth, and youthful.

What are the Benefits of Juvederm Volux?

The hyaluronic acid (HA) found in Juvederm Volux is biocompatible and biodegradable, meaning that it is well-tolerated by the body and breaks down naturally over time; this makes it a safe and effective option. You can feel good knowing Juvederm Volux is less likely to cause adverse reactions or complications than other fillers that use synthetic compounds.

Juvederm Volux further:

  • Restores volume to sagging skin
  • Improves the skin texture and smoothness of the treated area
  • Enhances the contour and definition of the chin and jawline
  • Creates a more balanced and attractive appearance
  • Helps the face’s overall symmetry

Juvederm Volux provides even more substantial support to the jawline and chin than Juvederm Voluma, which was previously used off-label for chin and jawline enhancement. It provides a more defined and contoured appearance, creating stronger definition and a more aesthetically pleasing look.

Is Juvederm Volux Right For Me?

Juvederm Volux is particularly effective at addressing the concern of a small or underdeveloped chin (microgenia) by adding volume; this can help make a face and profile appear balanced and well-defined. This can be particularly beneficial for men and women with a naturally round or soft jawline and who desire a more chiseled jawline for a more masculine appearance.

The loss of firmness or elasticity in the skin of the face is a common issue for both women and men. It causes sagging, wrinkles, drooping and other signs of aging. Juvederm Volux is used to restore volume to these areas, creating a more youthful, lifted appearance.

Juvederm Volux can also benefit patients with facial scars or indentations. When injected into the skin, Juvederm Volux helps fill in depressed or sunken areas, such as those caused by acne or other types of scarring.

The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for Juvederm Volux or any of the Juvederm family of fillers is to book a consultation at Phoenix Skin.

Personal Consultation

During your consultation, we will offer you a wealth of knowledge about the Juvederm Volux procedure, what results you can expect, and how to prepare for the treatment. It’s important to consult before getting any cosmetic treatment, including dermal fillers. Our licensed and skilled injectors understand the anatomy of the face and how to distribute the filler for maximum benefit. 

Your consultation includes:

  • An examination of your face
  • A discussion about your medical history
  • A conversation about your expectations for treatment

Preparation

If the injector decides that Juvederm Volux is a good option for you, they will give you instructions on how to prepare for the treatment; this might include:

  • Avoiding certain medications or supplements before the treatment
  • Adjusting your skincare routine in the days leading up to the procedure
  • Limiting your exposure to the sun and wearing sunscreen when you’re outside
  • Steering clear from alcohol for at least 24 hours before the procedure

You should also inform the doctor if you have any allergies or medical conditions that could affect the treatment.

The Procedure

During the treatment, the doctor will use a very fine needle to inject the filler into your skin along the chin and jawline. You might feel a small pinch or pressure, but the procedure is generally not painful. The injection process typically takes only a few minutes, and then the filler is gently massaged to ensure that it is evenly distributed.

The beauty of a person’s face is affected by how well the different parts of the face work together and if they are in balance. It is important to see a licensed professional, so they can consider symmetry and balance when injecting filler. 

One specific angle, the glabella-subnasale-pogonion angle, is particularly important. This angle measures the distance between the space between the eyebrows, the point between the nose and the upper lip, and the tip of the chin. The average measurement for this angle is between 165 and 175 degrees. [4] Your injector will know how to achieve the perfect angle for your face with Juvederm Volux.

Recovery After Juvederm Injection

After the treatment, you might experience some redness, swelling, or bruising, but these side effects usually go away within a few days. Unlike surgical options, Juvederm Volux does not require general anesthesia or hospitalization, which means that the treatment can be performed in the comfort of an office setting. Patients can resume their normal activities after the treatment, without the extended recovery time typically associated with other procedures so that they can get back to their life right away!

What are the Results of Juvederm Volux?

Juvederm Volux provides immediate, noticeable results that improve over time as the filler settles and integrates with the surrounding tissues. The natural-looking outcome enhances the patient’s natural features and facial structure, giving a more defined, balanced, and youthful appearance; this can lead to increased self-confidence and a greater sense of overall well-being.
