Skin quality improvement with Juvederm Volite
Even if we still feel young at heart, when we get older our skin naturally starts to show the signs of ageing, particularly in our faces. Rough, dry, crepey skin gives way to lines and wrinkles that make us look tired and worn-out, greatly affecting our confidence.
Juvederm® Volite is part of the world’s number one range of Dermal Fillers, made by Allergan and is the world’s first ever Filler that actually improves the hydration and quality of your skin for up to 9 months, after just a single treatment.
What is Juvederm® Volite?
Volite contains Hyaluronic Acid. A naturally occurring molecule made by our bodies and that is responsible for water retention in our skin. Volite improves hydration and elasticity by stimulating your body’s own collagen production, leading to an improvement in overall skin quality across four key areas: crepiness, dryness, roughness and skin depressions.
Volite can be used to smooth, hydrate and increase elasticity in the skin on your face, neck, décolletage, and hands, leaving you with a healthy-looking glow – as well as smoother, radiant and hydrated skin – after just a single treatment. Results can even last up to 9-12 months, eliminating the need for more frequent top-up treatments.
What can Volite treat?
Juvéderm® VOLITE can be used in younger age groups to improve and brighten the skin, and in older age groups with dry skin, leathery skin, or simply for optimising skin texture. We have also seen an improvement in acne scarring. VOLITE is not just used for the face, but can also be used to improve skin quality and texture on the neck, décolletage and hands.
What type of treatment is it?
It is categorised as a dermal filler, although it works more on skin texture improvement than on adding volume to the face. Juvéderm® VOLITE belongs to the renowned Vycross range of fillers for face treatments.
How does it work?
Juvéderm® VOLITE works at several levels. The presence of the filler material has a gentle plumping effect, but over the weeks following treatment the skin will feel smoother and appear brighter with softening of wrinkles and tightening of pores.
What does the treatment involve?
Topical anaesthetic cream, is usually applied first, and then multiple small droplets of product are introduced into the skin layer by injection.
What are the results?
Typically results reach their peak after 2-4 weeks. Observations range from brighter, firmer skin, to a smoother feel to the skin, and improvement in fine wrinkles.
What are the side effects?
The main side-effects are from the injections themselves, that is a little swelling for a few hours afterwards, and possible bruising.
Is there any down time?
This depends mostly on whether the skin bruises easily. Some bruising is to be expected, but this is usually minor and easily covered. Some areas such as the neck tend to bruise more readily, and thinner skin will tend to bruise more easily.
How much does it cost?
Costs vary depending on the amount of product required to achieve the right result. See our price list for information about costs of treatment.
