next up we've got another Juvederm product
hi guys welcome back to the channel as you know we're looking at individual
products now moving forward rather than doing one
patient's journey so today for your delactation we have
one of the most commonly used Juvederms and it's one that I'm sure you're all
familiar with maybe you've even had it yourself
it is of course Juvederm Voluma so Voluma is the original Vycross product
it was the first one that they brought out many many years ago and I still
remember back in the day when it came in a two
mil syringe rather than a one mil syringe and you
had to like just really shove it out of the syringe
because just wouldn't go out it was really difficult
they haven't changed the properties of the filler it's actually
just the syringe that's been changed so it's a lot easier to
extrude something through a one mil syringe than a two mil syringe
you clever physics people at home will be able to tell us why i'm sure it's
something to do with um the flow through the
um exit point of the syringe when it was first brought
out voluma was seen as this like crazy thick product a little bit like a
Restylane subQ and it was being used to do this you know this old-fashioned
like y-lift that people were doing maybe I don't know
seven eight years ago where they were putting a lot of product here
in the cheek and maybe a little bit in the chin as well
it was being used for that and that's why you'd see these
people with the very over augmented cheek
area here just because it'd been shoved and shoved and shoved
with either voluma or with SubQ to try and
lift up the nasolabial fold of course things
are slightly different now and we use it in a different way
for example when Voluma first came out i would never have imagined that you could
use it subcutaneously using a cannula which is
something that i do all the time now it's really interesting how
changing between using a needle and a cannula
will allow you to use even a product some would consider
heavy um in the subcutaneous layer in fact sometimes i've even used um
Volux in that layer too with a cannula crazy
right and that's because the product can flow
very very well um once you've injected it
so if you're living in the states no doubt you will have heard of Voluma
because it's something which is FDA approved coming in at
20 milligrams per ml of hyaluronic acid Voluma is one of the most versatile
products that you can use so you can use it temples cheeks chin
jawline submalar nasolabial fold nose I probably wouldn't use it under
the eye probably wouldn't use it in the lip but
apart from that it's pretty much fair game and is
extremely versatile like the other members of the
Vycross range it has the long and short chains of
hyaluronic acid together which allow the extrusion force to be
less so when you're when you're injecting it it
flows very well like the other members of the Vycross range all do in terms of
duration of effect kind of varies i would say maybe 12 to
18 months roughly this is duration of clinical
effect um really depends on the on the patient uh
on the person how many times you've had filler done before
but that's just you know a rough guesstimate there for you
okay so that's it for today guys i hope you enjoyed the video
if you've used Voluma or you know someone who has let me know
