This week it's another juvederm but which one!?
Hi guys welcome back to the channel as you know I
am changing up the format a little bit and we are talking about individual
different products instead of doing a whole case
don't worry you will still get to see a before and after at the end of the video
last week I talked about Juvederm Volbella which is from their Vycross range
so they got the Vycross range which is their new range and they've got their
Hylacross range which is the older range
and this week I'm going to be talking about the Volux which is their newest
addition to the Vycross range if you live in the
states or maybe even some other countries you
probably don't have access to this one because
it's not FDA approved yet we've had it in the UK for maybe six
months now Allergan are promoting this as a filler which is for the chin and
jawline area so basically anything in the lower part of the face actually
i'm using it in multiple different areas um so you know if
somebody needs to have quite a robust cheek lift you could use it you
could use it in the temple i've seen some people use it in the nose
as well and it does work in all those areas
coming in at 25 milligrams per ml of hyaluronic
acid it contains the most hyaluronic acid of
any product in the juvederm range and contrast that
with the volbella that we had last week which
is 15 milligrams per mil what that translates to clinically is
when you inject it it will give you a lot more structure
in that area which is why it's being used for the jawline
and chin region apart from the hyaluronic acid content
it's structurally the same as the Volbella
but it does have very very different handling characteristics
so if we take a close-up look at it now you can see that
it's really possible to you know even like build a little
pyramid with this thing at the same time you can see that it's not particulate
so in some of the older products um when you
did a close-up of it you'd be able to see that there were
tiny little bits of almost like lumping for example in some of the older
Restylane products you could see that just like the rest of the Vycross range
this does come with 0.3 lidocaine so it's actually not that
painful to have injected one thing that i have noticed
is that if you're used to having Voluma injected and then you have Volux
you will definitely experience more swelling with the Volux than you
will with the Voluma um it's probably twice as much swelling
I mean that's a total guesstimate based on absolutely no scientific evidence
whatsoever it's just from injecting a whole bunch of people with the Voluma
and it will feel firmer for longer as well so most of the firmness with the
Voluma will go after maybe a week with the Volux it's not uncommon for it
to take maybe two or three weeks but you do get more lifting and you have
a bigger clinical effect with it too because it's a denser product it's super
important that if you're going to have the Volux done
that you come in without wearing any makeup because
it can be difficult to get every single last particle or foundation off
beforehand um so I would argue that there's a bigger risk of infection
with the Volux than with the other products again that's based on
absolutely no scientific evidence whatsoever
it's just kind of you know hearsay in our community in terms of longevity
it's hard to say because we haven't had it for 18 months but
you know the manufacturers will say 18 months so
who knows um given what i've seen already
I would say 100 percent it's going to last longer
than Voluma would in the same area but as always we just can't be specific
about that and when i say longevity i am of course talking about
the uh clinical longevity not any kind of MRI studies that you
might be seeing referenced on other channels
