What does Vycross Technology mean?

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.

Vycross
technology improves hyaluronic acid fillers so they have more volume,
more moldability and staying power, and less swelling. Juvederm Voluma uses Vycross
technology, which is why it can be used to build areas like the
cheek. 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.
