ARTICLE Mastering Lip Treatments with JUVÉDERM® |
Are you a healthcare professional venturing into the world of aesthetics or looking to expand your expertise with the JUVÉDERM® product line? Look no further! This guide is a resource for lip treatments using JUVÉDERM® fillers. We’ll equip you with knowledge about JUVÉDERM® lip fillers, including ULTRA 2, ULTRA 3, VOLIFT®, and VOLBELLA®. JUVÉDERM® is one of the global leaders* in facial fillers based on hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a naturally occurring substance found in the human body, primarily in the skin, connective tissues, and eyes. HA plays a crucial role in hydration, wound healing, and maintaining overall skin health, but its natural production decreases as we age, leading to a loss of volume and elasticity in the skin.10 Offering an extensive range of lip fillers tailored to meet the diverse needs and desires of your patients, JUVÉDERM® empowers you with the tools necessary to achieve desired outcomes, including subtle enhancements, correction of asymmetries, or substantial volume augmentation. These HA-based fillers can counteract the natural decline in hyaluronic acid, helping restore a more youthful appearance by providing hydration, enhancing volume, and smoothing out wrinkles.4-8 Available in a smooth gel formulation, JUVÉDERM® fillers can be injected under the skin to fill lines and wrinkles while adding subtle volume. Furthermore, JUVÉDERM® fillers can help replenish the patient’s own hyaluronic acid deep within the skin, resulting in a more youthful appearance and improved skin quality, allowing patients to regain confidence in their appearance.5-8 JUVÉDERM® features two distinct collections of HA-based filler technologies—VYCROSS® and HYLACROSS®—each with a range of specialized products to cater to unique patient needs, providing a comprehensive portfolio for tailored treatment approaches and optimal results. |
VYCROSS®The Juvéderm® VYCROSS® family of fillers is synonymous with tailored aesthetic technology, crafted to meet the nuanced needs of a diverse patient demographic. Utilizing a patented blend of low and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid strands, the VYCROSS® gels are efficiently crosslinked for optimal durability and performance. Each product within the family boasts varying concentrations of HA, allowing practitioners to customize treatments for specific aesthetic outcomes, from subtle enhancements to significant volume restoration.1-3 Distinctly characterized by their tailored elasticity and cohesivity, VYCROSS® gels provide lifting capabilities and are particularly adaptable for a range of corrective needs. Furthermore, these gels exhibit low swelling and a smooth texture, ensuring patient comfort and satisfaction thanks to the minimal extrusion force required during application.3-4 |

The HYLACROSS® gels are formulated with high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid that is robustly crosslinked, creating a durable gel matrix. The degree of crosslinking varies within the HYLACROSS® range, allowing customization of gel firmness to suit different aesthetic needs while maintaining a natural look and feel. Noteworthy for providing lift primarily through cohesivity, the HYLACROSS® gels are renowned for their smoothness, cohesiveness, and ease of injection, making them well-suited for defining, filling, and volumizing treatments. |
