Allergan’s VOLUMA®, VOLBELLA® and VOLLURE® are the latest generation of dermal fillers, and they share one very unique feature: Vycross Technology.

Vycross is Allergan’s most recent released range of filler products which are longer-lasting, smoother to inject, biodegradable, and reversible. They represent the latest technology in dermal fillers moving things forward from its highly successful Juvederm Ultra range.

  • Juvederm Voluma – for improving mid-face volume (such as cheeks) and can also be used to support jawline structure. The most dense and elastic of the Vycross range and the first in the range to be released a few years ago. $799 reg

  • Juvederm Volbella – for longer-lasting results in dealing with under eye hollows and crows’ feet. This product is the least dense and least elastic out of the Vycross range making it preferable for the tear trough treatment because it’s easy to get it into the areas it’s needed with smooth results. $399 reg

  • Juvederm Vollure – the most recent of the range to be released. Great for longer-lasting results for depressions in the nasolabial folds but also creates fantastic definition/sharpness for lips. $699 reg

What are the key differences between Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Vycross?

1. Longer-lasting due to its unique make-up of high and low molecular weight HA (Voluma up to 24 months, Vollure up to 15 months, Volbella up to 12 months)
2. Better results because it’s easier to shape and mould once injected due to a greater degree of range in the balance elasticity and cohesivity
3. Creates less swelling at the area it’s been injected due to lower HA concentration drawing less moisture and causing less reactionary inflammation
4. Better ability to create lift and projection due to relative improved elasticity for each of Voluma, Vollure, and Volbella.
5. Smoother and easier to inject (lower extrusion force required) as not as viscous compared to Ultra.

Adding Lasers to your treatment regimen can help address other aspects of aging skin (sunspots, texture etc) and yield positive and more natural-looking and refreshing results.
