Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most common type of filler used to plump lips, fill lines, and soften the signs of aging. The hyaluronic acid products vary in concentration and the type of cross linking. Imagine a rail road track, two parallel pieces of metal with many beams holding them in position. That is the job of cross linking. The original cross linking which is still used in Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus is hylacross. Vycross represents a whole new technolgy of hyaluronic acid cross linking. Combined with a change in hyaluronic acid composition( long and short chains-compared to all long chains) the vycross results in a filler with more lift and longevity.
Vycrosstechnology improves hyaluronic acid fillers so they have more volume,more moldability and staying power, and less swelling. Juvederm Voluma uses Vycrosstechnology, which is why it can be used to build areas like thecheek. Please see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
Thank you for your excellent question. Vycross refers to the cross-linking achieved in Allergan's dermal filler line which currently only involves Voluma in the US, though Volbella is soon to be available. Vycross is a step up in HA technology as it allows for greater malleability/moldability, longer-lasting effects, less swelling, and can create greater lift and projection. Hope that this helps.
Vycross technology is the term that Allergan uses to describe the unique cross linking of high and low weight HA in their Voluma and Volbella fillers. It is what allows these fillers to restore volume in a natural looking way. Hope this helps.Kindly,Kouros Azar
Vycross Technology is an excellent way that Juvederm has evolved which makes it more "spongy" and gives you an immediate lift. Please consult an expert for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green
Thank you for your excellent question. Vycross technology is a term used to describe the increased cross-linking between hyaluronic acid molecules in the filler Voluma. Voluma is a great product used to restore age-related volume loss in the midface or cheek area. The increased cross-linking creates greater thickness, malleability and longevity, optimal for deeper injection in the cheeks. Hope this helps and best wishes!
#Vycross is the term Allergan has chosen to apply to their proprietary technology of cross-linking hyaluronic acid molecules. By creating crosslinks between both high molecular weight and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid molecules, their Vycross hyaluronic acid fillers are easier to mould and have greater longevity. Vycross is used in Viluma, Volift, and Volbella. I hope this is helpful. Dr. Clark
Vycross technology is terminology that comes from the manufacturer Allergan. It uses an innovative combination of low and high molecular weight HA* to improve the cross-linking efficiency of HA chains. This gives different qualities to the filler, and in my opinion I strongly prefer the Allergan products: Voluma, Juvederm Ultra XC, and Juvederm Ultra Plus XC. An expert injector can see the difference when injecting the face between various brands, as well as the duration of the product.
Thankyou for your question. Voluma isa filler used to enhance the appearance of the face. Voluma uses what is called Vycross technology, as compared with the hylacross technology used in Juvederm. This is a difference in the chemistry in that there is more cross-linking between the hyaluronic acid molecules. This makes it last longer, and at the same time more difficult to dissolve. This is the same technology as in Volbella, which will be available in October 2016 in the US. Please consult with adoctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
Within the first few hours after receiving a nonsurgical nose job with Voluma, the filler is malleable and can be reshaped. However, this is something that only a board-certified dermatologist should do. Molding of Juvederm Voluma of the nasal bridge is generally done immediately after placement...
Thank you for your question. Without an in-person exam or before pictures it is difficult to determine the cause. It appears you may just need more filler in the areas that appear “dented” to add more volume. I would return to your Board Certified injector for evaluation.
Most patients see much of the voluma having dissolved on its own by two years. some times there is a small percent lasting longer. Hyaluronidase enzyme can dissolve the filler quickly, although many patients need a few treatments, not one.
Hi @ lis3108! I'm sorry you are dealing with these complications. I recommend you dissolve the product with Hylenex. Best of luck to you, Dr. Nima!
Thank you for your question. Voluma may cause bruising in your cheeks, even lower than the injection site. Some patients are more sensitive than others, but most often, the bruising will fade within 2-4 weeks of the procedure. I suggest that you consult with the board certified facial plas...
Thank you for your question. Swelling is common after filler injections. I advise my patients to avoid activities that cause facial flushing including exercising, saunas, alcohol consumption, heat application, etc. until swelling resolves. Application of soft ice pack to the treated area for 15...
