Juvederm Vollure: Facial Rejuvenation Without Surgery
Botox is probably the best-known injectable treatment for facial wrinkles. But dermal fillers have been gaining in popularity because they are well tolerated, feel and look more natural, and last longer. Hyaluronic acid fillers from the Juvederm family are one of the most widely used dermal fillers today. One of the products in the Juvederm line is Vollure. Keep reading to learn more about Vollure and what it can do for you.
What is Vollure? How does it work?
Juvederm Vollure is an injectable hyaluronic acid dermal filler. It is made by the well-known company Allergan, the same company that makes Botox. Vollure is a clear, smooth gel that contains hyaluronic acid, a hydrophilic (water-attracting) substance that is naturally present in abundant quantities in the body, especially in the skin. Juvederm Vollure is an FDA-approved filler. It is designed to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles, creases, and folds. Vollure is especially effective in correcting prominent nasolabial folds (the creases that extend from the corners of the mouth to the nose) as well as laugh lines or smile lines around the mouth. Nasolabial folds and laugh lines develop due to the repetitive movement of facial muscles near the mouth and can make the face look old and tired. Filler treatment with Vollure softens the appearance of these lines and creases and restores a more youthful appearance to the face.
What makes Vollure so special?
Vollure is one of the newest facial fillers from Allergan. It is different from other hyaluronic acid fillers because it is made with Vycross technology, which makes it more stable and prolongs its half-life (the half-life determines how quickly the filler is broken down by the body – a longer half-life means longer-lasting results from the filler treatment). Also, Vycross technology gives Vollure more fluidity, which means you get a more natural look and feel after the treatment. As a result of this innovative technology, Vollure hits the sweet spot between being firm enough to fill lines but supple enough to move naturally with facial expressions. Last but not least, Vycross fillers tend to absorb less water than other fillers, which means there is less swelling after the injections.
