How much does Juvederm Volift last?

Hi jinanechal, thanks for your question. Duration of dermal filler is a great topic! Researchers are currently hard at work to develop new hyaluronic acid fillers that last longer, look more natural and can be used in additional areas of the face, neck and body.
Juvéderm Volift (a European product) recently received FDA approval in the US under the name Juvéderm Vollure. It is FDA approved to last up to 18 months. Vollure is part of Juvéderm’s family of longer-lasting fillers, including Voluma for midface volume (which lasts up to 24 months) and Volbella for more superficial lip lines (which lasts up to 12 months). Hyaluronic acid is the basic component, but it is manufactured with “Vycross” technology - a molecular structuring technique that results in increased longevity, as well as more natural movement. 
It’s important to keep in mind that duration of filler often presumes “touch up” treatments. Filler treatment, and other cosmetic interventions, are rarely “one and done.” Maintenance is key. Seek out a board-certified aesthetic dermatologist who can discuss your unique goals and treatment options.  

Thank you for sharing your question.  Because of the way that the hyaluronic acid is cross-linked in Volbella, Volift/Vollure, and Voluma they last longer than other corresponding HA fillers.  Allergan touts this cross-linking as Vycross technology.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question regarding Volift. Yes, there are several formulations of Juvéderm, to include Voluma®, Volbella®, and Volift® (which will be called Vollure in the US). These HAs (hyaluronic acids) have different cross-linking technologies.  Volift, like Voluma and Volbella are made with Vycross™ technology with high and low molecular weights, and this allows them greater longevity. They are wonderful, natural-looking products when injected correctly by a Board Certified provider.  Best of luck choosing your provider who should be able to steer you in the right direction for the filler best suited for YOU!

Vollure and Volift have been modified with cross-linking to slow the absorption.This is beneficial as the product will last longer.

Thank you for
your question jinanechal. Vollure is a
dermal filler used to enhance moderate to severe wrinkles on the face. It is cleared to last up to 18 months with optimal correction. Hyaluronic acid itself is a category of filler. Other fillers in this category include Juvederm, Voluma, Volbella, Restylane, and Belotero. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

This is a great question!
You are absolutely correct - most of the hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers on the market last approximately 6-12 months, depending on the product used, the area injected, the depth of the injection, and the metabolism of the patient themselves.
The newest products in the Juvederm family of fillers - Voluma, Volbella, and Volift (marketed as Vollure in the United States) differ from earlier HA products.  These fillers utilize unique Vycross technology, combining both high and low molecular weight HAs into a highly cross-linked gel.  The cross-linking of these products results in a soft, but very robust and long-lasting filler.  As a results, Voluma can last up to 24 months, Volift/Vollure 18 months, and Volbella 12 months.  I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and to determine the best treatment plan for you.  Best of luck!

You are right. There are MANY HA fillers on the market. And each has its place and use. Volift (which will be called Volure) in the U.S. will be cross-linked differently. Which basically means the molecule size and gel will be different. So it allows it to last longer. But that does not mean that fillers like Voluma, Volbella, and Juvederm are going anywhere. Each of these is cross-linked differently and has different indications and uses. Also they are injected with different techniques and into different depths of the skin. If you find an expert injector, he or she will know which filler is best for which area and how they differ. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.
