INDICATIONS FOR USE OF THE DRUG

The drug is intended for sculpting and restoring the volume of the lower third of the face. The properties of the product ensure its best use specifically for the correction of the jaw and chin area.

An Allergan study found that 51% of patients complained about their facial contour. Ideally, most respondents would like to see a soft, symmetrical shape with a clearly defined angle between the neck and chin.

The use of Juvederm VOLUX filler is recommended for the following indications:

• violation of the oval of the face (tissue prolapse);
• jowls (sagging cheeks);
• facial asymmetry.

Filler can be used if the patient wishes to change the shape of the lower jaw or make the chin more refined.

Juvederm VOLUX is used both as an independent product in the practice of remodeling the oval of the face, and as part of complex restoration programs.

Contraindications to the use of the drug include autoimmune diseases, blood diseases, cancer, diabetes mellitus, epilepsy, other chronic diseases in the active phase, pigment metabolism disorders and a tendency to form keloid scars, pregnancy and lactation.

Common features and differences between drugs

Let's find out which is better - Surjiderm or Juvederm. First, let's establish the differences between biorevitalants, and then define the main features.

Differences

The main differences between the drugs:

• after the administration of Surgiderm, side effects are observed, such as swelling and hematomas, which is associated with a higher density of the drug; with Juvederm they are much less common;
• Surgiderm has a longer lasting effect than Juvederm, which is due to the 3D molecules;
• Some Juvederm products already contain lidocaine; when Surjiderm is administered, additional anesthetics are required, which can lead to side effects;
• on average, the cost of Surgiderm drugs is several thousand rubles lower;
• after correction with Juvederm, there is a natural effect; Surgiderm has slightly worse results in this regard.

Similarities

It is sometimes very difficult for cosmetologists to choose between Surgiderm and Juvederm biogels. And it is no coincidence, because they have many common characteristics. For example, they are produced by the same company and contain hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin.

They are designed to solve the following tasks:

• moisturize the dermis;
• form the correct facial contour and build up soft tissues;
• pump up your lips;
• eliminate expression wrinkles.

The common features of the drugs Sujiderm and Juvederm include the same contraindications. Fillers based on hyaluronic acid are prohibited for use:

• during pregnancy and lactation;
• for serious diseases of the heart, liver and kidneys;
• if you have been diagnosed with diabetes;
• with herpes and inflammatory processes on the dermis of the face that are in the acute stage;
• when your immunity is weakened by acute respiratory infections, exacerbation of chronic illnesses, hypertensive crisis;
• for oncological diseases;
• during the course, taking heparin and aspirin, which thin the blood;
• if you are allergic to any of the components, in particular lidocaine;
• when the dermis is prone to the formation of keloid scars;
• when you have a serious autoimmune disease.

User reviews indicate that side effects may occur, such as mild swelling, erythema (redness of the dermis) and even the formation of small hematomas. They should all go away within 48 hours. If this does not happen, you need to contact your cosmetologist for help.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION OF THE DRUG

The contouring procedure is carried out by introducing physiological gel into the working area, produced by the manufacturer in individual disposable graduated syringes.

The main active ingredient of Juvederm VOLUX is hyaluronic acid, which has widely known beneficial properties. Its improved interpretation using VYCROSS technology makes it possible to obtain the best impact effect.

First, hyaluronic acid acts as an amazing internal filler. It gently fills in areas of deficiency, correcting the shape.

Secondly, hyaluronic acid activates metabolic processes in the body, and also stimulates hydration and nourishment of tissues. It is responsible for attracting and retaining moisture in the dermis. Regeneration launched in the deep layers of the skin guarantees renewal and rejuvenation at the cellular level.

VYCROSS TECHNOLOGY AND SPECIFIC PROPERTIES OF THE DRUG

The patented VYCROSS technology (Vycross) used in the drug is a particularly effective combination of high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid with cross-links. This combination improves the functional properties of the finished product. Thus, the density and homogeneity of the drug increases, and its cohesiveness also improves.

Cohesiveness characterizes the quality of adhesion of particles in a substance; accordingly, the more cohesive the drug is, the longer the process of its biodegradation will occur. Thanks to this, we observe the effect of Juvederm VOLUX for up to 18 months or longer!

RESULTS

Juvederm VOLUX, being the densest product in the VYCROSS line, allows you to create flawless contours of the lower third of the face. A harmonious, natural and at the same time expressive line is modeled.

As a result of the use of Juvederm VOLUX filler, accentuation (highlighting) of the jaw line and contouring of the chin occurs. The oval of the face becomes clearer and more sculpted.

The filler relieves patients of pronounced sagging tissue along the contour and in the cheek area, giving the face a soft roundness and eliminating jowls. Hyaluronic acid saturates tissues, increasing their firmness and elasticity.

According to an Allergan clinical study, 95% of patients were satisfied with the results obtained 3 months after treatment, and an additional 62% of patients were still seeing lasting effects after 18 months.

Indications, effectiveness of use

The Sujiderm product line includes preparations of varying degrees of hyaluronic acid gel viscosity. Therefore, implantation is carried out both in the superficial and deep layers of the dermis - it all depends on the problem being solved. Biogels are produced for contour correction (plasty), volumization, and biorevitalization.

Safe drugs from the brand can be used starting from the age of 18 - to increase the volume of the lips, correct scars, scars.

Starting from the age of 25, fillers are indicated for the correction of aesthetic defects in appearance, skin rejuvenation, restoration of the hydro-lipid mantle, and formation of facial oval. After 35-40 years, denser fillers from the line are used to smooth out wrinkles, folds and creases.

Our clinic specialists have been successfully using Surgiderm preparations for many years. Among the most effective, long-lasting and, accordingly, frequently used drugs, our doctors prefer the following brand fillers:

Surgiderm 24XP (Surgiderm 24XP), Surgiderm 30хр (Surgiderm 30XP), Surgilift Plus (Surgilift plus), Surgilips (Surgilips)

The effectiveness of Juvederm

This filler is used to correct the condition of the facial epidermis in the area of ​​the nasolabial triangle, enlarge the lips and smooth out wrinkles in the places where they form. Due to such a wide spectrum of action, the filler can be used at any age: young beauties actively use it to plump up their lips, and older ladies use it to eliminate the signs of aging skin.

Features of the drugs:

• have a liquid, viscous consistency;
• the composition includes hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin (12 mg/ml), therefore the products are considered hypoallergenic;
• some drugs contain lidocaine, so anesthesia is not necessary;
• cases of bump formation, skin irritation and allergic reactions are rare;
• used to achieve maximum effect.

The Juvederm product line is represented by the following products:

• Juvederm first generation. The gels are distinguished by their high density 18, 24, 30 and high concentration of the main components. Today they are discontinued.

• Ultra. Invented in 2011, Ultra Smile is capable of making lips as natural as possible by creating a clearer contour.

• Hydrate. The main task of the product is to moisturize the dermis with hyaluronic acid. In addition to the hydrant, the drug contains mannitol.

• Voluma. Designed to achieve a lifting effect (modeling the facial contour). It allows you to create additional volume in certain parts, for example, highlighting cheekbones, making lips denser.

• Volbella. The innovative formula includes lidocaine. The filler provides a long-lasting effect and does not cause side effects.

Important point: Each of the above drugs solves a specific problem. The cosmetologist can immediately use several Juvederm options. For example, to eliminate small wrinkles, it is recommended to use Hydrate, and to plump up lips, UltraSmile.

Juvederm is loved by many cosmetologists and plastic surgeons for its uniform distribution under the skin. In addition, it lingers in the epidermis for quite a long time - 6-7 months, and for some products from the line - even 12 months.

The standard rejuvenation procedure includes:

1. Cleansing the dermis of impurities.
2. Treating the skin with anesthetics, if the specific drug does not contain lidocaine.
3. Injection of filler into problem areas. Injections under the skin are made at a distance of 5 mm from each other. On average, this stage takes 30–50 minutes.
4. The cosmetologist looks at the reaction of the dermis. If everything is in order, the patient is immediately sent home. If papules form, increase the depth of needle insertion. When they appear, give a gentle massage.
5. At home, you need to follow the recommendations of a specialist: for the first days, wash your face with boiled water and do not apply decorative cosmetics. Do not visit saunas, do not sunbathe, or massage areas that have been subject to invasive intervention. Cold compresses will help relieve swelling, and an antiseptic used to treat puncture sites can prevent the spread of infection.

Biorevitalizant is certified in the Russian Federation. One package contains 2 syringes of 1 ml each. The gel is not cheap. The cost of juvederm volite varies in the range of 15–18 thousand rubles. For Juvederm Ultra, with which our cosmetologists prefer to make natural sponges, you will pay 12,900 rubles for 0.55 ml. As a rule, one syringe is enough for significant rejuvenation and creation of the desired facial contour.
