JUVÉDERM VOLUX™

JUVÉDERM VOLUX™ is the first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler specifically engineered to enhance jawline definition and chin projection in adults aged 21 and over. Developed by Allergan Aesthetics, it employs VYCROSS™ cross-linking technology to deliver a firm, moldable gel with exceptional lift capacity and long-lasting results.

Mechanism of Action

VYCROSS™ technology combines low- and high-molecular-weight HA to create a cohesive gel that resists deformation under dynamic forces. Once injected into the pre-periosteal plane or subcutaneous tissue of the lower face, it provides structural support, lifting and redefining the chin and jawline contours.
