Juvederm Volux: A Step Above the Rest

The world of dermal fillers is already famous for its versatility, especially when it comes to products based on hyaluronic acid. One such product is Juvederm Volux, a filler with a specific purpose thanks to its unique properties. The purpose? Jawline volumization and rejuvenation.

Read on to find out what makes Volux such an interesting product, its optimal usage, and other fun facts about it.

Introducing Juvederm Volux

First of all, we need to answer the main question – what is Juvederm Volux?

Volux, a dermal filler manufactured by Allergan, is just one among this manufacturer’s many products. Based on hyaluronic acid, it is sold packaged in pre-filled syringes, making it simpler and quicker to administer, basically requiring no advance preparation for the procedure.

Since hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occurring substance in human bodies, this product is ideal for facial rejuvenation as it restores one’s natural reserves. But, what also sets it apart from other fillers, is that it contains the highest density of hyaluronic acid among all Juvederm products – 25 mg per syringe, along with lidocaine that acts as an additional anesthetic.

This allows Volux to excel as a filler for the jawline, whether used for contouring or for restoring lost volume to this area. Of course, this filler can also be used in other areas of the face due to its contents, especially if your patients are looking for longer-lasting results.

Unique Features of the Volux Filler

We’ve already touched upon some of the features that make Volux different from the rest of popular facial fillers, especially those used for jawline treatments.

What really makes this filler such a big deal and why it’s the first choice for jawline treatments is that it was the first product of this kind that became FDA-approved. Juvederm got FDA approval for Volux in August 2022, making a significant impact on the world of aesthetic injectables. In fact, even today, this is still the only jawline filler with such certification.

As previously mentioned, the composition of this filler is what makes it an ideal choice for jawline volumization procedures. Volux is more condensed than any other filler, allowing for more precise sculpting and longer-lasting results.

The last fact is also an essential factor in choosing this filler over the others. Typically, dermal fillers based on hyaluronic acid last about six months, but Volux provides results that last twice as long. Since the procedure takes the same amount of time as any other filler (so quick that it’s often called a “lunchtime treatment”) and the recovery period is minimal, this makes this product the top choice among non-invasive procedures for jawline reconstruction.

After injecting the Juvederm Volux into the jawline, the onset action is similar to other fillers. The hyaluronic acid provides structural support and restores the lost volume to the treated areas. But, this filler needs to be injected slightly deeper than others. The target area is between the skin and the muscle, closer to the jaw bone.

Other than that, Volux shares a lot of similarities with traditional fillers. It comes in pre-filled syringes, aftercare is similar, and the treatment can be customized based on each client’s needs and desires.

Ideal Candidates for Juvederm Volux

Candidates for Volux are, first and foremost, people who are looking to improve their jawline contour or need volume restoration in this area. That’s the main focus of the consultations during each patient’s appointment.

Additionally, all other indications related to fillers are valid for Volux, too. That includes patients having to be at least 21 years old, without allergies to the contents of the filler, and not currently experiencing any skin issues. It’s also unadvisable to administer fillers to pregnant and breastfeeding women.

Possible Side Effects of Volux

Adverse effects of Volux are rare, and usually, side effects are similar to what can be expected after a dermal filler injection. These include itching, bruising, swelling, and slight pain or tenderness of the treated area. So, nothing that should prevent your patients from trying this new Juvederm product.

Aside from techniques to reduce bruising after the injections, you should also advise your patients to avoid blood thinning medications before their procedure, and certain supplements are known to lead to bruising after injection.

Generally speaking, the side effects of Volux last for up to two weeks and wear off naturally. But, if your patients experience more drastic reactions to the filler – including severe pain, skin redness or discoloration, and inflammation – they should report to their doctor immediately.

Juvederm Volux Aftercare

Following the treatment, the patients should take extra care not to put too much pressure on the area treated with this dermal filler. The first 24 hours are crucial, as that’s the period when the filler is settling in.

Patients should also avoid exposure to intense heat (saunas and sunbathing) during that time. They can apply makeup but should take extra care around the injection area. Over-the-counter medications may be used for pain relief, followed by gently massaging the treated area once the pain subsides.

Conclusion

Whether your patients are looking for chin augmentation, need volume restoration to their jawline, or just want a long-lasting filler, Juvederm Volux provides the results they seek. This filler bears FDA certification and high praise from medical professionals, making it a great choice for various aesthetic treatments.
